Another thing that makes me feel happy when I'm going through a depressive episode is a warm cup of passionflower tea.

Little house on the prairie is my favourite comfort book series it warms my soul and makes me happy.

My biggest struggle as an extroverted person with social anixety is that i always hold myself back because its hard to follow up being my true and best self of that confident, talkative person and I love telling great stories and funny experiences but there are some really bad days. I always hate how ppl always expect extroverts to bring something to the table but we extroverts also have bad days too 😫. I have a random question, would you rather be an introvert or an extrovert with social anxiety?

Things extroverts with social anxiety struggle: 1. Wants to form close relationships but struggles to commit or maintain them 2. You feel drained from just thinking about how to approach social situations. 3. You really want to open up and speak your mind but are afraid of judgements

You liked arwen over eowyn? She did nothing in the books and the movies eowyn was way more prevelent in both stories

I just got a job as an editor at a publishing company, and I can safely say that being in that head space slows your reading significantly! Trying to be better at getting back at it! Thanks for the video ❤️

I want you to know you are not alone. I just had to look up extroverts with anxiety because I knew I couldn't have been the only one. You're so awesome and brave to speak out about it because I know most people don't think it makes sense but bullying can really tear a person confidence down but cuddos to you for getting back to your true self.

Hi Christy, I have watched a lot of your writing vlogs. Which are amazing, and I love the writing routines you do. All the videos I have seen from you are great. I am very curious if you would do me a favor. That I will pay back for in the future, I promise. The favor is, can you make a video that explains what you do for a living. I am right now trying to figure out my career. Your videos are great and hope to see more of them.

I know it's about four months ago, but.... It is so inspiring to hear about your querying process! Thank you for sharing this with us. I have no experience in querying yet. I'm working on my high fantasy series still :) As for those first two agents: - I felt like they wanted to change your book to something different that is not your story anymore. Adding in a romance plot once the book is already finished?... - With the third agent you really looked different! That joy on your face after the offer of representation actually brought tears to my eyes! It was so great to hear you got the opposite as to what you expected! - It's great that agent 4 also was much more in line with your ideas for your book. Congratulations with your agent! It sounds like Bailey is THE perfect agent for you! I'm really happy for you 🥳🎉

Quit shaking the book when u show it.

Little bit late to the party since I'm catching up on your writing vlogs but I just wanted to thank you for videos! They are so inspiring as a writer and your kind personality really shines through.❤

Omg Swiftie hiii lol not you casually listening to tortured poets for one second and me recognising it

The april and autumn comment. its so fascinating lol i just cant wrap my head around that Australian weather thing

I have been a silent subscriber for months now, but I just had to leave a comment for this one. Congratulations! And thank you for the inspiration

sorry, but overworking the working class isn't cultural, nor should it be treated as one.

i hope that i can read your book in Arabic language..

I would be more impressed had you seen some thing during your walk - a child crying, a woman hurrying along the street and disappearing into a doorway like a magic trick - there in one eye blink and gone the next, - or anything that caused your imagination to ask "why that?", then coming back and in the next 12 hours producing a finished story of what and why and the outcome of their actions. I find the best ideas for my stories occur like that. There is a famous street photographer who says a worthwhile photograph never occurs when you go out looking for it, it happens as you are going somewhere for some other reason - and there it is in front of you. Always have your camera (minds eye) with you.

You def sold me. The show just made my tbw list. 😄

Thank you for this video 💜💖

What you said at the close of day one is precisely what I thought was going to happen (the loss of the bird's eye view). I chop and move copy pasted sections around so much in my writing that I wondered how to make that work with pen and paper.

What questions did you ask the agents? I'm hoping to be querying by the end of this year or early next year and I have no idea what to ask an agent

Living in perth we dont get that brilliant autumn feel as much. Having been to adelaide i really liked that. You are lucky!

Thank you for making the videos interesting. My name is Teyani. Please keep us interested.

Currently on the last book on the last 4 chapters And I have to say the lotr books is the biggest boring pile of shit 💩 I’ve ever read

Really enjoyed the video and your journey. Well done and congrats! I just began my journey at the end of March and am at 12 submissions and 2 rejections so far, one of which was quite a positve rejection if you know what i mean. I used to be a daily nespaper journalist and people say that it must be easy because you're a pro writer. But they are wrong. Writing a novel is completely different and it cuts no ice with agents. They either like the story or they don't! Anyway, good luck!

I loved this vlog Christy! Congrats on all your effort with Project Teacup ❤ can't wait to read it!

I resonate with many of your choices and would like to share some of my favorites: If you enjoyed The Secret History (Donna Tartt), you might like: Gone Girl (Gillian Flynn) The Silent Patient (Alex Michaelides) Absolute must-read: A classic that I enjoy every time - The Master and Margarita (Mikhail Bulgakov) Other Favorites: Monday Begins on Saturday and Roadside Picnic (Arkady Strugatsky and Boris Strugatsky) Man's Search for Meaning (Viktor Frankl) Series: Shades of Magic (V. E. Schwab) The Book of Dust (Philip Pullman) The Stormlight Archive (Brandon Sanderson) I’d love to hear from those who have read these books as well. 😊

Really enjoyed this video. As someone who's tryna figure out my own creative routine, this was just a fun video to watch 😂

Interesting routine, but we can definitely improve upon this 😅

I love your videos Christy. Thank you for always being so cheerful. It's very refreshing and a society of negativity.

The Remains of the Day is a beautiful book; the theme of duty is far more interesting than it seems when you hear what the book is about, because of the author's wonderful insights about what makes a worthwhile life, and what, on the other hand, one might have by way of regrets. The other thing that makes it so good is the writing style, and I was pleased to hear you talk about style, something I haven't heard anyone on booktube do yet, but since you write, yourself, it's inevitable that style is something you've thought about. I find it forms a huge part of my reading taste, rather than just what the plot is. I don't know how you manage to read anything, though, while writing; I can't do that when I'm so caught up in my own developing plots and themes! Do read The Remains of the Day soon though, 'cos you'll love it.

I clapped when I saw you giving away that CH book. *clapping*

Love your sweater! Is that hand knit?

Your videos are just wonderful. Thank you for posting! I hope you're doing well, Christy, take care💓

I am also on ginkgo biloba watch, and I've realised they're in their full yellowy stage at the end of may. That reminds me: I need to go see them!

This is lovely! I also wake up around 7:30 and study kanji. 😁 This is very motivating. Thank you!

John green has spoken a bit about how he meant for looking for Alaska to be about realizing that the people you idolize are really just people

I really should get back into journaling, I fall off of it for months at a time. I love the notion of Woolf calling it 'loosening writing ligaments.' I also want to try a regular (maybe not DAILY) letter writing routine, even if it's just to myself. I loved when you said in the figurative language example the bus was 'crime scene tape yellow' and I kind of want to write a short thing about that, maybe a short story or poem. It created such a vivid image in my mind and I felt so inspired. I feel like that random word generator would be so useful as an exercise the way you use it to make fresh connections! Thanks for the video, it was so great.

Does anyone worry about everyone readung your journals should you die unexpectedly? Debating whether to burn my journals. I mean, there's nothing scandalous in them...but they're private...

"I don't have many books" has 3 bookshelves 😂

Dear Christy, I am writing to you from São Paulo, Brazil. Look how far your videos have reached... Did you expect this? Currently, I am a content creator with the idea of a fantasy book to start writing, and I intend to begin soon. It is a long process until we have the courage to start this journey. I am writing to thank you for your videos. The aesthetics are beautiful, the way you talk about your creative process and inspire us to see the beauties of life. Your lifestyle is the one I want to have every day. I will keep following you from afar and sending updates. See you soon. Hugs, Ciro.

Thanks for these recs. I am grieving so this video is especially appreciated ❤

I would’ve wrote this book in 8th grade… so bad so cringey so corny I can’t

Pls next Anne Rice

Rebecca is a favorite of mine, this was a good reminder to re-read that. Also, I love your dress. Do you remember where you got it from? I hope you’re able to see that ginko tree with yellow leaves. Thank you for your videos. They are really lovely.

I love your way to re-write your draft. And this autumn vibe put balm on my soul (I'm in France where is spring, but it's raining all the time !). I love your dress, it's seem to be a sondeflor. I have same skincolor and same straight hair than you, and I think this sheckers brown-black will be my 4th dress. I will wait september to get it :) Bisou

I love your troll in the back
