Funny, I just received the alert for this video today. Breaks are always great and needed for our well-being - we aren't going anywhere take what time you need. I imagine how frustrating it is as a writer when the laptop/computer dies...hopefully, you didn't lose any of your magical words in the process. I have the first HC of the Hybrid Helix, I heard some positive things! - Cheers Tori
Glad the break was good and you got the computer stuff figured out! I know we both had some fun computer issues, but I'll say the week off was actually really nice for me as well!
Glad the break ended up to be a good thing! Your video reminds me of my job - I'm absolutely exhausted in May but when August rolls around I'm really excited to get back to school. Breaks are good!
She's alive!!!!! Good to take a break if and when you need it. I've spent most of my summer reading and learning how to drive. I also took on a very special creative project that i'm super excited for!!
July was way too hot to do anything and August has been much better, so we’ve gotten out to enjoy our summer. Currently reading Locklands, last of the foundryside novels and loving it. Glad you had a break!
As long as this channel is fun for you, keep at it because I always enjoy hearing your perspectives. At best, TH-cam and its Sacred Algorithms are a marketing channel for your business as an author. Reading Napper’s _36 Streets_ and next up is the Conan collected works for Cimmerian September!
Super glad you're having some fun with RoTG and thank you so much for the pitch! Also, good luck with your own writing, looking forward to your next release.
Tori!!! Definitely believe that it was a sign from the universe to make you take a step back and realign with yourself and your values. Glad it was a rejuvenating break :) I hope your computer is all back up and running asap so the creative juices can start flowing again. My summer has been fine, nothing too special tbh. Though I did find my new favourite book of the year recently, which is Asunder by Kerstin Hall! 🤩
I agree, Esmay. The break was much needed! I've been seeing you shouting Asunder from the rooftops recently, and I'm so glad you found a new favorite! Best feeling ever.
Summer really has flown by! I got married, moved into an apartment with my wife and started a new job😂. Yet I’ve managed to keep reading through all of this. I’m currently reading Ryan Cahill’s Of War and Ruin, Stephen King’s The Regulators, and Robin Hobb’s Assassin’s Quest 😂😅.
Glad to see you're doing well, Tori. Unless its Hobb or GGK, reading hasn't been as much of a priority for me this year as I've been re-focusing on my weight loss journey, and I'm happy to say I made significant progress so far this year. I haven't felt this good in years. I just yesterday finished Wurts' Ships of Merior, and it was great. I'm not quite ready yet to return to Rain Wild Chronicles, so I restarted my re-read of Deadhouse Gates and I'm having so much fun. I'm slowly chipping away at Streets of Laredo and I just started Dennis Lehane's Mystic River. Happy reading to you!
Hey Rogue! I'm so happy for you that you've been hitting some great personal goals, that's amazing to hear. Feeling good and healthy makes such a huge difference. Sounds like you've got some great books keeping you company. :D
Glad the break is proving to be a good thing for you. I've had a great Summer of reading with the highlights being: Memory And Dream - Charles De Lint Flowers For Algernon - Daniel Keyes Thornhedge - T Kingfisher The Rage Of Dragons - Evan Winter To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee The Forgotten Beats Of Eld - Patricia A McKillip Piranesi - Susanna Clarke
Yeah summer has gone by rapidly huh. Haven't read too many books lately, I'm actually gonna take a hiatus from my current re-read of Wheel of Time and my first read of The Expanse series, so that I can focus on the books that I've had that I hadn't read yet. Also attended some more concerts.
Good to see you back, and I'm glad the break has been refreshing! I have finally started The Lies of Locke Lamora. 20% in and this is feeling like an all timer for sure 😁 I am also reading PL Stuart's The Last of the Atalanteans, which continues the brilliance (imo) of book 1!
Summer is just flying by, isn't it?! You already know this, but re-reading The Wheel of Time. The fact that I read this series fifteen years ago, and I still remember A LOT of what happened still amazes me. 😊
Happy it was nothing serious. I just finished The Philosopher Kings, book 2 in the Thessaly Trilogy, and also The Professor's House by Willa Cather. I just started The Library at Mount Char .
Just finished Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan (fun read). Almost done with The Book of Elsewhere by Keanu Reeves and China Mieville (jury is still out). Also, really liked Breath of the Dragon by Fonda Lee and Shannon Lee (comes out in January).
@@ToriTalks2 If you read and enjoyed The Rage of Dragons, I think you'll love it. - doh, just realized I just answered this from my other YT channel :D Still Gryfktin.

Thanks so much, Chris! I hope you've been able to use your time for some rest as well. I didn't lose any words, and I'm super grateful for that!

Fully understandable! Best of luck on your projects and take care!

Thank you!
Good to see you're doing well, Tori. Sometimes we need to unwind. Good for you.
Absolutely. 💯 Embrace it when the opportunity comes.
@@ToriTalks2 Will do. I always take sage advice from pretty ladies seriously. 😁

YES! Super excited for your LoLL journey. It’s still one of my all time faves 😍 I hope both reads end up being awesome.

I have discovered Tad Williams. I am currently immersed in The Dragonbone Chair.
Love that for you! I can’t wait to try his work someday soon.

We all have a comp problem. My hard disc died and I lost everything that I wrote last year.
Oh NO! I’m so sorry that happened. 🥺
@@ToriTalks2 Fortunately, the book I need to publish soon is being edited, so I saved it in my email.
