Oh man, I asked so many questions. I'm sorry, lol. But it was fun hearing your answers to all of them.❤
Hey that's good I liked the questions!! :D
Congrats! you're at 1.5k now, that's so amazing
Thank you!!
Loved your answers! And congrats on the 1K! I agree that writing advice is so very subjective and you gotta find what works for you!
Thank you!! :D
Congratulations, Emily! I loved hearing all your answers! I remember becoming your 500th sub a couple years ago and commenting on it because I couldn’t believe how low it was! I hope more people keep finding you because you’re definitely one of my favorite author channels! ❤️
I remember that! Thank you!!
I'm a big day dreamer too! I used to do it a lot as a kid, and now, lol, but I never really wrote my ideas down until my adult life. Also, I love your honesty about living with your parents and not having to pay rent right now. I think a lot of writers just appear to do it full time but they don't go into details about how they are able to afford that life.
Thank you!!

Thank you for this. My biggest writing advice pet peeve is folks thinking there's only one correct way (especially when they're total n00bs giving advice about publishing and have NOTHING published yet!)
Congrats on passing 1k! Here's to as many more as you'd like to accrue!
Yessss it's always been a big annoyance of mine as well! Especially with the pantsing vs plotting debate....there are no rules!
Thank you!!
Awesome video as always!
Great to see my fangirling hasn’t died down since day one 😂.
“It’s all my father’s fault.” Why is that always the reason in my personal experience? Like I took an interest in drawing and my dad just bought stuff and I went “welp, guess I gotta use it now!” And just kept it up? 😂. I swear, he’s the reason 99% of my MC’s are based on him. (Not just because he has weird dad-lore 😂. I literally realized last night while writing that my current Mc is just my dad if he had gone to live in the woods as a hermit 😆. Yes that’s my only book update for now 😂)
And I’m now realizing one of my questions should have been where you bought your jewelry and shirts, because GIRL- always fabulous 😩.
Anyway, great vid as always. I’m forever grateful to my friend hounding me on insta to try out your books, and I can’t wait for future ones. (Also, if Zane was one of your favorites why did you always abuse my poor baby? Leave the poor man alone 😂)
And I 100% agree sibling and parent dynamics are best. I have two siblings, so it’s just chaos. (Also really surprising you do such good sibling stuff when you’re an only child. You get the loving hate perfect 😂) Dad and son dynamics for the win!
Sister quote as always~ (hopefully I’ll add end of everything, to her reading quotes because I KNOW she’d have some stuff to say of Haf and collect them after it’s published)
“Lor: *calls Iohmar daddy*
Iohmar: WHAT IS THIS SORCERY!” (It was supposed to be a cute scene Emmy… 😂.)
The dad lore is really impactful, isn't it? 🤣
Ahaha I get my clothes usually from thrift stores or places like Ross! The jewelry got passed down from my Nana and great-grandmother 😊
Listen, listen, listen...you can tell which characters I love the most by the ones that get beat up the most 🤣 It's a rule.
Iohmar really was just shocked 🤣
@@EmilyMcCosh ah! Gonna have to start thrifting again it seems 😂.
And that’s awesome! I have a ton of jewelry from my grandmother as well. They always had such amazing necklace and earrings tastes, huh?
And understandable. I have the same rule. The one with the most suffering is the most loved 😂
And yeah, my sister was CACKLING at that moment the second she read it 😂
🖤🖤🖤
I actively hate 99% of main characters haha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
