    "I love the mermaids, but no one else does!" Why is this such a MOOD? Also, I'm rooting for you to meet your writing goals!!

    Oh man, the way you describe the covid-panic loop - that would 100% be me and honestly is the reason I'm so scared of getting it! I'm SO glad you and your husband are recovered and I can't wait to hear all about sub!!!

      Thank you, Michelle! We are MUCH better. Honestly the panic was almost worse than the virus itself (for me!).

    "That's what makes the difference in people that make it and people that don't-they just keep going" YES THIS ADVICE. Even more important when you go on sub because it can be so so soul crushing, but ahhh so excited for you!

    Thanks for the update, Lindsay! I missed your positivity. I am THRILLED for you. Querying is HARD, but for sure, the best thing writers can do is persevere! (I'm trying to convince myself of this eek!)

    It is so much fun to see your process and your positivity. What I’m working on: revisions in different stages on two books. Read recently: Dread Nation (alternate history/undead). It’s not so much about epidemics as many zombie stories are. It’s more about racism and the way that times of adversity have the worst consequences for those who are already disadvantaged. So it’s very relevant right now (and always) and I strongly recommend it. Looking forward to the rest of this video series!

    • @LindsayPuckett
      @LindsayPuckett  4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Once I'm starting my querying journey in my middle grade fantasy (Beta reading right now!) I'll take your advice: Don't give up, keep going. I queried my YA Contemporary that involves a deaf teen girl who enters a hearing camp as a counselor--has to lie to fit in--it's the story of my heart. I had gotten a couple of bites from agents, but no one is interested. I'm hoping my middle grade will capture thier hearts! Maybe I should reach out to your agent, Lindsay! I cannot wait for your next videos!
    PS: Mermaids are my favorites, too!

    • @LindsayPuckett
      @LindsayPuckett  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      yes, keep going! And you never know! That agent that signs you for your MG might fall in love with the YA too! Then you'll have both published!!!

    I'm so excited for you for all of this! You're probably my favorite authortuber & I want to be author/animal crossing friends (& chronic illness friends who know what it's like to work & play through the pain...) [my island has a story behind it, because, author...]. Also, so glad you recovered from Covid. It sucks. This video just made me so happy, especially having followed the parts of your author story you've been sharing.

    I’m so so so happy you are fully recovered. I totally get the anxiety part because my anxiety would be through the roof. I visited my sister and freaked out after I left. I don’t leave my house ever and feel guilty every time I do leave. But anyways this is about you. I’m so happy for you and all your success. Honestly you deserve the world.

    • @LindsayPuckett

    Glad you recovered okay and congrats again on getting your agent. And going on sub soon is amazing! As far as my writing projects, I have my faerie novel with betas that I'm excited to do the next draft when I get it back from them (my hope is it will be my second to last draft before querying!). While I wait on getting that back I am working on a YA fantasy Romeo and Juliet story with shape-shifting dragons that I'd ideally like to finish by the end of the month so it can be with betas while I edit my faerie novel.

    We had COVID at the same time! I also have anxiety so it was quite the couple weeks for me as well. I also did not go to the hospital though I was obsessively checking my blood oxygen saturation and literally watched Pride and Prejudice and Bridgerton again and again until it was over. So glad you made it out okay!
