WE LEGIT BROUGHT UP THE SAME THINGS!!!! TWINNNING!!!!!!!!!!! 50%, Minutiae (however you spell it), the other 20 seasons that she built and ain't tell us about, characters coming in dreams, Her hierarchy, dealing with harassment! I just love it! We both talked about these things! LOL I cant wait til we do the live. I totally called you excitement when you watched the next video and found out she talked about the same mountain. Gosh, this was great to watch. Kilkayo Peak is gonna be your best work yet, claiming it already LOL
OMG LOL!! Why am I not surprised hahaha!!! TWINNING!!! I can't wait to see your video!!!! I'm just going to keep texting you for percentage updates hahahaha!!!
OMG I feel your point about being intimidated on how many new things to name vs. what from "our world" you could take and expand on and AHHHH. The fact that she had so many seasons that she still didn't include in the index at the end BLEW MY MIND. (Also I'm only a little scared since I felt like I had a quarter-life crisis at 23. AM I GOING TO HAVE ONE AT 30 TOO, NOOOOOOOO. Bahahah. I loved how much she laughed at herself / with the audience throughout this course.) I underlined the "if you suffer for your art, it doesn't mean your audience has to as well" too!!!! I wish I could send this to several other authors bahaha. THE BEHIND THE SCENES SKETCH OF ALL YOUR NOTES AND CLOTHES AND MAGIC SYSTEMS AND WORLD AND AHHHHHH. Once the story is published, can you please just do a walk-through of your notes?! Bahahaha. It's so fun hearing how we both came out of the class feeling MORE confident in what we'd already done but also felt a clear roadmap on how to improve things. That's such a wonderful example of what a great instructor N.K. Jemisin is!!!! (From a video standpoint, I loooooved how many extra visuals you included! From the Mount St. Helen's to the chamber pots bahah. And you gushing about how serendipitous it was that she used Mount St. Helen's as an example after you'd talked about it made me so happy.) THANK YOU SO MUCH TO YOU AND SHAY FOR INCLUDING ME IN THIS, AHHH!
Hahahaha! You'll probably be spared the "30" mid-life crisis as you totally have your stuff together!! You had yours early lol! And right?!! She made me feel so confident and excited to get going! I'm always afraid when I take classes I'll feel even more intimidated, but hers was the complete opposite. I felt so empowered after each class! And the Mt. Saint Helen's thing tripped me out lol! I was like... I was JUST talking about that hahaha!! I had that same moment when she mentioned the Gormenghast novels (I ended up editing it out) But when she brought it up my jaw dropped! I don't think I've ever heard of an author bring up Titus Groan before! It's one of my all-time favorites!! Mervyn Peake is a master as well! Gah! I loved doing this so much!!
I'm loving this trilogy from you, Shay and Kate! Honestly I'm so mad at myself that I've not read anything from N.K. Jemisin yet! And that example of the swear words is so so interesting. Oh my gosh those minutes under the kitchen table must have been absolutely terrifying. I got my MSc in GeoHazards so I've studied the eruption and I can't even imagine being a child who didn't know what was going on
Thank you!!! And honestly anything she writes is brilliant so you could start with anything lol!! And that’s so cool you studied the eruption! I’ve always wanted to know more about it. It’s always just been a powerful memory that shaped a lot of my fears in life. It’s so crazy how a single event can affect us for the rest of our lives!
Ahh love that you all did this collab! So excited to watch all these videos cause I so want to take this masterclass. Also I love that you were already tearing up at the intro lol
It is so worth it!! She’s just so brilliant and has the best advice! And I’m sure this MC only scratches the surface!! And lol! You should have seen me reading that ending of Broken Earth Trilogy! I was ugly sobbing pretty badly 😂🤣
This really made me want to take this Master Class! Also, totally same on the immersion thing. It helps me so much to go experience things I'm writing about for myself and to get into the headspaces the characters would be in.
I love this collab! It’s fascinating to see what you each get out of it, and how you plan to apply it to your own projects. Keep the collabs coming, they’re so fun! 😄🥰
This class sounds like something I need to add to my list. It's clear that you absolutely enjoyed it. You brought up a lot of interesting things. Plumbing for example. The Aztecs actually created a water system to irrigate water for various reasons including bathing. It's common for people (writer's, artists, etc.) to not think about the geography of their world when they make maps or when writing/creating. Some people don't think how rivers flow or how mountains are created. Knowing the tectonic plates (or whatever one calls them in their world) seems a bit much but I think it's useful to at least know some of them. I actually had to learn a lot about things like that when I got further into cartography. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I'll definitely be looking into the class soon.
It's definitely worth it!! I loved every minute! And I totally agree, you definitely don't need to know crazy details of things like tectonic plates, but it is so much fun to think about. Just another layer to world building that makes me so excited!!
Right?! Getting in my head holds me back sooooooo much!! This class definitely helped me with that!! And lol!! I really do think everyone has one at 30, and let's be honest, every decade mile marker hahaha!!!
HAHAHAHA! Omg right?!! (I had to cut out some other flailing I did, or this video would have been 40 minutes long lol! When she mentioned the Gormenghast series...I freaked out!! Titus Groan is one of my all time favorites and I hardly ever hear anyone talk about it!) And thank you!! I remember seeing you have the same hoodie, right? Doctor Who fans unite
I LOVE that you have a journal to sketch out the maps, fashion, etc.! That is such a nice way to solidify your mental image, as well as have a reference to look back on when you need to double check details.
Yeah, masterclass is actually pretty great. I love the cooking classes as well. RuPaul’s is pretty fantastic. He talks a lot about self discovery and acknowledging trauma, which I found VERY surprising. But I didn’t know much about him before watching the class. But it was SO good!
@@therealannataylor Ooo cooking sound fun! And the RuPaul class sounds amazing too! I'll have to check that out! I want to watch some of the science-based ones as well!
Yes! I haven’t had the opportunity to do any of the science ones yet, my main focus while I had it was writing, food and gardening. I wanted to soak it all in!
Does anyone know what series of N. K. Jemisin is based off of Ancient Egypt? Is it her Inheritance Trilogy which starts with The Hundred Kingdoms or Dreamblood Series which starts with The Killing Moon?
@@ShayWithThaHobbies Thank you. I’m interested in Ancient Egypt and not many fantasy books are based off of Ancient Egypt. So I wanted to know which series it was.
@@BeccaCSmith Craters of the Moon National Monument was the one I was thinking of. I couldn't remember what it was called so I asked my parents. It's in Idaho, and you can actually hike up the dead cinder cones. It's fascinating.
I'm still trying to figure out how to get out of the "Everything is important" mode and learn how to keep only what really either advances the plot, immerses the readers, or adds to the atmosphere.
🌑🗿🏝 Is that a cryptic enough a spoiler free trio of images for the broken earth trilogy. Looking forward to enjoying your thoughts on the Bronx & Staten Island when you read The City We Became 🤐😶
I hope it was spoiler-free hahaha!! It's so hard not to gush about the details LOL!!! And eeeeeep!!! The City We Became is next on my NK list!!! She talked about in in the Master Class and it made me want to read it even more!!
Okay, so... my best friend's name is Keyo (pronounced "kay-yo"), and so every time you say the title of your book, I get a little nervous on their behalf XD

@@BeccaCSmith omg totally with you, I bawled like a little baby at that ending haha
It’s just so freaking good! I’m tearing up just thinking about it!!
This really made me want to take this Master Class! Also, totally same on the immersion thing. It helps me so much to go experience things I'm writing about for myself and to get into the headspaces the characters would be in.
Right?!! It’s so much fun to write that way!!
I love this collab! It’s fascinating to see what you each get out of it, and how you plan to apply it to your own projects. Keep the collabs coming, they’re so fun! 😄🥰
Thank you!! I’m so glad we did it too! I learned so much and loved seeing what Shay and Kate got out of it as well!!

God I definitely get into my head too much when writing. And 30 definitely sparked a crisis that I’m not sure I’m out of almost 8 years later lol
Right?! Getting in my head holds me back sooooooo much!! This class definitely helped me with that!! And lol!! I really do think everyone has one at 30, and let's be honest, every decade mile marker hahaha!!!
I just took her Masterclass and it was so fun watching you flail over the same stuff I was flailing about!! (btw LOVE the Doctor hoodie!!)
HAHAHAHA! Omg right?!! (I had to cut out some other flailing I did, or this video would have been 40 minutes long lol! When she mentioned the Gormenghast series...I freaked out!! Titus Groan is one of my all time favorites and I hardly ever hear anyone talk about it!) And thank you!! I remember seeing you have the same hoodie, right? Doctor Who fans unite
I LOVE that you have a journal to sketch out the maps, fashion, etc.! That is such a nice way to solidify your mental image, as well as have a reference to look back on when you need to double check details.
What’s funny is I’ve only done it with Kilkayo Peak! I guess my brain needs to for fantasy lol!
I watched this masterclass last week, i loved it! 😍😍😍
right?!! It was so freaking good!! And it's helping me so much with my book! I keep rewatching some of the videos hahaha!!!
@@BeccaCSmith Right!!!! *whispers* I’ve actually have been doing that too 😂
@@TheNakedFireFly Hahahaha!!! She has the most soothing voice!! And every time she talks about world-building I get so inspired!!
This makes me want to re-up my master class! I LOVE them. Judy Bloom and Neil Gaiman were my favorite.
This was my first one!!! But I am sold lol!!
Yeah, masterclass is actually pretty great. I love the cooking classes as well. RuPaul’s is pretty fantastic. He talks a lot about self discovery and acknowledging trauma, which I found VERY surprising. But I didn’t know much about him before watching the class. But it was SO good!

It’s on my list to do. Thanks for the review!
It is so worth it!!!
Does anyone know what series of N. K. Jemisin is based off of Ancient Egypt? Is it her Inheritance Trilogy which starts with The Hundred Kingdoms or Dreamblood Series which starts with The Killing Moon?
It's The Killing Moon and The Shadowed Sun of the Dreablood Duology!
@@ShayWithThaHobbies Thank you. I’m interested in Ancient Egypt and not many fantasy books are based off of Ancient Egypt. So I wanted to know which series it was.
@@SusanHorak super welcome
Have you ever been to some of the volcanic fields in the Western US? I remember taking a trip with family and the landscape just felt totally alien.
I’ve been to Yellowstone, is that what you mean? Which is totally insane with the mud pots and sulfuric boiling pools!
@@BeccaCSmith Craters of the Moon National Monument was the one I was thinking of. I couldn't remember what it was called so I asked my parents. It's in Idaho, and you can actually hike up the dead cinder cones. It's fascinating.
@@TheDawdlingWriter Oh wow!!!!!! No, I haven't been there! But now I want to!!!! We have to drive back to LA, so maybe we'll take a detour!
I'm still trying to figure out how to get out of the "Everything is important" mode and learn how to keep only what really either advances the plot, immerses the readers, or adds to the atmosphere.
Oof! It’s so haaaaard lol!! But she made me feel like I could totally do it! It was so good!
Interesting, I hadn't thought about hemispheres either!
Right?! I felt like a “duh” moment 😂🤣 but it really hadn’t entered my brain
