Jeezus that sounds scary! It legitimately took me 2 years to adjust my american brain to socialized healthcare and now I call them up WAY more than I have ever used the US system

I’m so glad you’re okay! That sounds really scary! Hope you continue to be okay. 💜 Thanks for the chat about rejection! It never ends, does it? I went through a pretty bad depression at the end of August/very beginning of September because of rejections. I’m querying my PhD dissertation novel, also sending multiple short story submissions, and have been getting rejected from those, job rejections, fiction contest rejections, screenwriting fellowship rejections (I’m also a screenwriter), and rejected from a paying disability policy fellowship. It’s so much! I also got rejected from another opportunity to be in a traditionally published anthology again, but at least I wrote that short story and I tried! If I was just getting querying rejections, I don’t think it would bother me as much, but as I’m getting rejections from most things in multiple formats/genres/categories, it definitely is starting to get to me! Hopefully I’ll get something soon! I’m still waiting on a few more opportunities. Thank you again for the pep talk! 🥰 Wishing you all the best with the drafting of the second book in the MASTERY OF MONSTERS trilogy! So excited for it! 🎉

i love these. they're so encouraging when I'm working on my own draft ❤

As a thriller gurl, you had me when you said you were working on a thriller!!! I've set a reminder on my calendar to remind me to check every few months .... this is so exciting!!!!

That's so scary! I'm so glad you recognized the emergency. It doesn't have to be our business but I appreciate that you did as it's a good reminder for those using BC to be aware of possible side effects.

So scary!! I'm really glad you're okay!

Hey Man , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?

I'm glad you're okay and thank you for sharing! Definitely scary, but it's good you were aware of your body's changes. Congrats on your momentum as you continue working on the book. It's so interesting to remember those moments when we forget how to write and feel stuck, scared, or lost. And then in a different week how we can be so engrossed in a world and story we are creating and having fun with it.

Just found your channel and subbed! I write in the thriller genre, and I am in the process of revising what I *hope* will be my debut novel! Love your vibes and energy and I am excited to start following your journey!! I am so sorry about your medical scare, but I am glad that they were able to get to the bottom of it and that you are ok! Sending you all of the healing vibes!

OMG Liselle, I'm so glad you're okay! Another great vlog! I'm loving following your progress on this book!

Oh my god that's so scary! I'm so glad you're ok!

NEW SUBSCRIBER!! I'm so glad you're feeling and doing better. I hope you continue to get better. Thx for all of your videos; they're very insightful. Much continued success on your books!

i really appreciate your vulnerability in relation to being on submission. Rejection can make you doubt yourself in ways that make me recoil from publishing sometimes. Best of luck!!

So sorry that that happened to you! I'm glad that you're doing better. Ah, I want to see the art you commissioned! Can't wait.

So glad to hear that your doing Okay Liselle! Please be cautious with having had a Pulmonary Embolism that may increase your risk in older age of stroke. I only know this because I have had a PE and have had 2 Strokes. Not meaning that you will just keep an yourself being checked. So happy to hear that you are still writing! and are on the go!

So glad to hear you are okay. That is so scary. Happy to hear you are fun with your book despite not wanting to work. How long have you been sewing? Your finished pieces look so good.

I think your Tik Tok issue is that your camera is at too low of an angle. It looks like you have to keep looking down. You should raise it more eye level or higher.

This is really helpful thank you so much 💕💕💕💕

so glad you're ok! i love hearing about your process. and you look good with the bandanna!

Glad you’re okay Liselle!!! ❤ Just starting the vlog and I just want to add that I’m so happy I’m not the only author who gets nervous that they forgot how to write in between projects 😭

Still watching the video, but omg that is horrifying. I'm so glad you're ok.

OMG LISELLE!! I'm so glad you're doing fine that's so scary. >.< Take care of yourself <3

So glad you’re okay! Literally terrifying.

OMG, Liselle, thank goodness you’re okay!! Blood clots are scary

So glad you are ok

So excited for the Mastery of Monsters series! The combat aspect made me think of the way demi gods trained in the Percy Jackson books. The point wasn't to kill but to have real world experience where dying in combat was a reality.

I'm so glad you knew to ask for help quickly and the hospital took good care of you. 💜 Thank you for another great monthly vlog. It's inspiring watching you chip away at this draft of book 2 one day at the time. 🥰

Omigosh I'm so glad you're ok! I work in the healthcare field and I see pulmonary embolisms all the time. These can be deadly! Now you have a story to tell.

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Holy hell. I’m so glad that you’re okay. I’ve always heard that the risk of blood clots just is not emphasized enough/underestimated for women with birth control. I’m just so, so happy that you’re okay omg. Please take care and I’m glad the hospital staff made the process easier. I’m so excited about the fight and action scenes you’ve been mentioning. I love hearing your thought process about showing the training scenes before the competition and it’s so fascinating and will be cool to remember when I actually read tbh. Rooting for you with drafting and the rest of submissions! Excited for the upcoming cover reveal!

Its insane that they couldn’t bring out a wheelchair for you from your car.

Thanks so much Liselle for this video ! t's been 1 year I've been using Plottr for a year now and I'm in awe when I see how faster I've been able to plot my 4 books series (even if I'm not done yet) Have you experienced plotting a series in plottr ? I would be interested in your experience in that matter. For now I planned the whole series (with the series vue) : my 1st book is already written, Book 2 in plotted and I put some milestones for Books 3 and 4. Though I have some issues : I was thinking about reorganising and rewriting book 1 because it's too big and I feel like I can tighten the story, maybe using your method and STC. For Book 2, even if I planned and plotted with all the arcs, subplots etc, I somehow can't pass from my plotting phase to the chapter and scenes planning phase... If you see what I mean. So thanks for these templates, I hope it will help me to pass this threshold ! Can't wait to see if you have more things to say about Plottr !

the porcelain quote was so good 🙇‍♀️👏👏👏

Hi, Liselle. Love your videos. I just wanted to ask if you could briefly explain what your second draft process is. Because you are a plotter, so you literally draft based on your outline. Whenever I try to do that I miss so much I have to rewrite several times to get the story. But you seem to keep the story pretty much in place after draft one, so I'm wondering what is your editing style. Do you do passes, like start with a character arc then another, or some other technique? Also you did an outline video recently about your very in-depth outlining method. Have you used this muli-arc outlining method for every book or is this more of a recent thing? Thank you!

Liselle, I want to write novels too and have been stuck in my sci-fi novel, but your content helps a lot and thanks to them, I've been having many breakthroughs, thank you!

Thanks for this! My ears perked up when you said you use Notion for a calendar for your story! I am still learning Notion. Could you make a video to show how you use the calendar for that? That would be great!

Hi Liselle!!! 🫶🏽

"The monster is there. The monster is me." ✨️ Chills ✨️

Thank you so much for sharing! This was so fun to watch, listening to you get excited about your book and that "one like I like each day" thing is so clever to keep yourself motivated. I often start to feel the writing is all bad halfway into writing a book, so I'm going to try this habit and see if it stops me from spiralling down the impostor syndrome slide. Your book sounds super interesting, too!

I am blown away by this video! And I know you have a full docket, but I seriously hope you reconsider not writing this story - I was so invested in reading this story as I listened to you explain how to outline and had to keep reminding myself of what you said at the beginning of the video, lol

So glad to hear that you're okay! Really enjoying this drafting series compilation :)

Fantastic video, Liselle! It's awesome to see how you're using Plottr 🔥

Just wanted to say thanks for this! I don't have Tiktok but love your stuff. (Nothing against Tiktok I'm just scared I'd get sucked in and never be productive again 😂). Please take care of yourself!!!

This is incredible, truly. I have tried to make charts like this in Microsoft Word, and needless to say, it’s a challenge. 😬 Thanks so much for sharing.

I don’t like their coffee 😢 23:33

Oh my gosh, those health problems are so scary! I'm so glad you're doing better!

I'm glad that you are better health wise. I really enjoyed the insight to your writing process! It's nice to see others having similar experiences and finding fun ways to solve them!

omg! so glad you're ok! i was so scared of this when i was on birth control. if you don't mind sharing, what was the symptom that made you get checked out?

Thank goodness you're doing better now.

dang! i'm glad you're feeling and doing better! def sounds scary
