This video was written and filmed on Chumash land.
I just began my own book-writing journey in the last few weeks, so I have been LOVING your content and hearing about your experiences! 💕 It’s like having a friend that’s doing the same thing (gotta love parasocial friendships lollll ✌️)
aw that is genuinely so sweet to hear haha, good luck with your writing journey and thank you so much for watching my silly little vids!!
I did sadly put my health at risk in college. Everyone was repeating the phrase “study now sleep later.” So I drank a lot of coffee and put all nighters. Noooooot gooood lolol
ach I heard a lot of that kind of talk in my department too and I shudder to think back on it
omgg I'm so excited to watch this whole video!! & also your eye makeup looks amazing!!
🫶🫶 thank you so much rachel!! I hope you enjoy the rest of the video ahh
I'm so excited to hear more about this!! your content always motivates me to write, so thank you 🫶🏼
thank you so much, I'm excited for you to watch!!
this is so exciting, congrats!! btw, when you said you hope to one day be the authortuber that will help other writers get to where they want to be, i can say that you're already doing it now ❤️ i've learned so much from your craft videos & writing vlogs hehe anyw really excited for the next part of your journey with Moths!!
thank you so much!! this is seriously high praise and I am so so happy to hear that my videos have been helpful so far
Whew! This is exciting. Also I've been writing my first draft for almost 2 years so this makes me feel better hearing this. Cuz sometimes I feel like I'm writing so slow!
It can be slow going sometimes!! Rushing has only ever brought me pain so I am a strong advocate for slow and steady wins the race :)
You're such an inspiration, Lynn 👏🏼As ADHD writer, seeing you accomplish this means so much to me. Keep up the videos! Lots of love from Mexico!
you are SO sweet, this comment made my day!! thank you so much
I love your eye makeup!! 😍 I
You speak about this project so passionately I love it 🥹 and I’m excited for what’s to come!!
ty Kelley!! it's been so fun to play around with different looks lol. I'm excited too!!
Can't wait to feel (read) the world you created in Moths by the way I agree HANOI is a PARADISE
i can't wait for others to read it as well!! and hanoi is amazing
ahhh lynn i loved this so much. really enjoyed hearing all your reflections! congrats again and can't wait to read this book 🤍
tysm Brielle!! 🥹 I will absolutely combust if you read Moths haha
This is my first time coming across your channel, but as a new writer, I really appreciate this look at your recently finished project. Also congrats!
thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!! & welcome to the channel
"It is finally raining in Cape Pacifica." I don't know why, but there's something about this line, even removed from context, that just feels so powerful. I'm probs going to be spending the next hour trying to dissect it to figure out what it could mean. Will reading it make me laugh? Will it make me cry? Is this a "This confession has meant nothing" type thing, in which that line will just haunt me for the rest of eternity? Who knows?
19:27 Yeah, I tried my best to condense what I thought was multiple themes into one quick sentence. It was actually something closer to "this felt like a behind the scenes of a mid-late 20s coming of age tale, in which you established your personal identity and came more to terms with who you are as a person." But I thought that might've sounded a bit too dramatic/out of scope. Idk.
that is SO good to hear, thank you! and yeah it can be so hard to sum up theme in a way that doesn't sound melodramatic, but also aren't the best themes a little bit dramatic anyway??
I had an idea for a da book a few years ago and finding your channel has made me start thinking about it again so thankyou for that
that's amazing to hear!! ty for watching
YAY MOTHS !!!! ✨ I'm so excited for you and this project and to finally read the whole thing one day !!! 🥹💛
tysm kris!!! your ongoing support and enthusiasm means so much 🥹🥹
Congratulations again on finishing your draft! You talk about MOTHS so passionately! I wouldn’t say I write dark academia, but all of my writing centers on undergrad, grad school, or being a professor in various ways, so I’m definitely intrigued by the genre! 😍
Your concept is SO good and I’m sure your writing is beautiful. I love Lark already!
I can’t remember if I submitted a question or not, but I will next time.
I’m getting ready to query, too. My synopsis and query letter are pretty good. I’m just worried about bulking up my draft. Hoping to query by summer, though. 🤞
I hope future revisions and your query process goes as well as it can. Your channel is so helpful and encouraging! Not just to me, but to so many. 💜
Thank you again Lara, for both the support and the kind words!! I will definitely be opening questions up again sometime soon so i'm looking forward to yours
You should be so proud of yourself! I love that it takes place in Paris, and how original the idea is..can't wait to read one day! Sending you a big congratulations from French Polynesia. 💌
Thank you so much! I hope you get to read some day
Yay yay yay congratulations! I’m so excited to hear. We all believe in you! Love the makeup
thank you so much!!
I’m very excited for your book to come out one day ❤
waahoo! Congrats!
💗💗💗 tysm lindsay !!
SHE USED MY QUESTION AT THE END!!! HOLY CRAP I HEARD MY NAME AND I WAS LIKE WAAAAIIITTT!!! I wanna write a dark academia murder mystery/maybe light fantasy?
Oh!! I HAVE to see how your Project Moths BuJo turned out!! Cos im trying to set one up just like yours, but how did you fill up all the pages?? Please!!!🥺🖤
I'm so sorry, I lost track of it in during a recent move and I think I left it in my home state!! I did just start a new one to keep track of revisions-most of my bujo pages after the initial worldbuilding and brainstorming are dedicated to scheduling, keeping track of progress, revision notes, checklists, and other very utilitarian things.
Actually all the questions are very important and informative to learn, I think you should be an author counselor for many writers including me, I am an author for children stories and now I am working on my second young adult novel, hope we could be connected in some way even though I speak Arabic but totally understand and fluent in English.
