Hi Esmie, Thank you so much for your transparency about how tough this industry can be. On social media people often only show the highlights. And though I understand why. It can leave people like me who have been querying for two years feeling like we’re the only ones having a hard time in the publishing world while it’s just roses for all the people we see/follow online. Though I hope for all the successes for you this video made me feel a little less alone. So thank you for that and I can’t wait for Gutterwitch!!
trying something newwww hehe!! Have been wanting to cut my hair into a proper bob for ages & I'm still working up the courage to do it but styling it like this is making me think I've got to do it soon...
I've been wondering where you've been! So glad to hear you're doing well now :) Bad periods come for us all, don't we know it. It always feels like it never ends, but that euphoria when it passes and you realize "shit, I got through all of that!" is something absolutely amazing and I'm happy to see it on you. Okay but the burn mark on Gutterwitch? Uhm, odds you can somehow include that on the cover? That would be so cool and only some people would know the story 👀 Sharing about your financial situation and having a part time job must have been so scary and humbling, so respect for that. But honestly, I love that you did it. I always wonder how authors get by, it just seems like such a daunting struggle that it puts me off even setting some publishing dreams for myself. Obviously I have an idea of what it might be like, but hearing the actual words from an actual writer is still eye opening. I will humbly admit I have yet to read The Principle of Moments 🙈 It is sitting on my bookshelf but I have some other books to read first. However I've already bumped up TPOM higher on my list bcs I want to get Gutterwitch once it's published, so I obviously need to read TPOM before that! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Esmie ♥ (also that tip about opening your document - so good! I write lil stories (ok, fanfictions) to kinda satisfy my urge to be a writer but with no expectations lol, and I do this too! It took me a lil while to figure it out tho 🥴)
Thank you so much for this comment, it truly warmed my heart😭❤ You're right - the feeling of having come out the other side of hard times is euphoric - I feel so relieved. I'm glad this video was informative and eye-opening, I want to always be honest on this channel, so I'm really glad it resonated with you. & Thank you for saying so❤ Yes I love opening my document and just taking a peek, it gets the gears goinggg!! I love that you're writing fanfic, I have so many old fics on my laptop... writing and reading fanfic taught me so much about who I am as a writer and really helped me develop my style. I'll always be grateful to the fanfic years. (Though to be honest... I still write it!!) Thank you for such a kind message, I appreciate this so much. Have a lovely week, and Merry Christmas if you celebrate❤
The classical music!! The vibes! The lightly toasted manuscript!! It's so good to see you back 🫶
Thank you for your honesty. I wish you luck on your writings...
