Ahhh it was so nice to see you at the book ball-that was such a lovely event !! Also loved hearing your candid thoughts about second guessing your prose & then getting a confidence boost upon reread-super relatable and also so happy the edit worked out!

[@LiselleSambury]

Same!! And yeah haha the life of an author seems to frequently mean being your own harshest critic 😅

[@Lara_Ameen]

Sorry for the late comment again!
Ahh, you’re so busy! I love that you took us along for your travels. I saw pics on your Instagram of the Teen Book Con. Looked so fun! And how cool that you got to meet Rachel and Kris in Toronto! AuthorTube is cool like that.
I LOVE your braids! So stylish!
Also, love the AuthorTube writing retreat. That looked so fun, too! I was in New Orleans in 7th grade for some specialized therapy and it was a time. Alligator was disgusting, but I enjoyed the other food! 😂
I’m glad your writing has been so productive! Looking forward to seeing your April writing vlog! 😍
Oh, I just started reading TENDER BEASTS. My reading has been so slow this year as I’ve been getting ready to query my PhD dissertation novel, submitting short stories, doing freelance work, and drafting a new novel. I LOVE reading (one of my special interests), but it’s gone way slower for me than usual and my goal was to read 100 books this year. Probably won’t happen. 😭I’ll let you know what I think when I finish reading! 🥰📚

[@LiselleSambury]

Happy to share what I could! And glad you could enjoy other more palatable foods in New Orleans haha. And I feel like that’s fair on reading, it ebbs and flows as you have more time. I’m like that too. Last year I was very attached to my reading goal but I’m being more lax this year. Exciting you’re getting close to querying!

[@jakearlow]

NO contact with ghosts top of the list lol ! agreed

[@LiselleSambury]

Right?? Very strong stance

[@LindsayPuckett]

you didn't mention you met Rachel and Kris!? Omg how fun

[@LiselleSambury]

Lol yeah I did not sufficiently recap all my travel in person haha

[@nathanlongs]

What a great March! I’m glad your busiest month is behind you, sending good vibes and an easy edit for your future

[@LiselleSambury]

Thank you!! And yeah, I’m also glad to have things be a bit more calm for a while. I can usually manage a single outing in a week, so doing so much everyday was really tiring 😅 and yes! That’s exactly what it feels like with the space and control. I want to be surrounded by my things and feel 100% safe and calm and comfortable.

[@tlightsylvan]

you were in Houston and I had no idea?! I would've taken every chance to try to meet you lol. hope to see you next time you're in town! and you're looking especially pretty in this vlog btw XD

[@LiselleSambury]

Oh no that’s too bad! I do admit that I’m better at posting about my events on Instagram and not so great at posting them on CZcams 😅 but hopefully I’ll get to visit Houston again someday for a signing!

[@Semi-AvgKay]

Before you, I didn't know Teen Book Con existed. I'm in Texas too. Still haven't been to NOLA. Thanks for the overview. My unsolicited, unpopular opinion is that crawfish tastes better than lobster. I'm still amazed with your writing consistency. Have a great week.

[@LiselleSambury]

Well I’m glad to introduce you to it then! And you know, the crawfish was really really good. I could see it giving lobster a run for its money. I feel like people just prefer lobster cause it’s bigger so they have to do less work. And thank you! I hope you have a great week too!

[@ginialeon3014]

Totally out of ubject but I love the braids... They make you look years younger!!! Not that I know I old you are but they make you look 22 years old. LOL

[@LiselleSambury]

Hahaha thank you! And I think because they’re colourful it’s a more youth style maybe?? And I’m 33 this year so that’s high praise lol

[@EmmaBennetAuthor]

2025 does seem like a long time in the future lol

[@LiselleSambury]

It really does 🙈 I’m often planning two years ahead and then remember how far away that actually is

[@akossiwak]

I'm so happy your readers are finding you at these book cons!!! 🥹🥰

[@LiselleSambury]

Me too!!

[@sierrabookishlife]

I don’t like their coffee 😢 23:33

[@LiselleSambury]

Not shocking lol I’m not a coffee drinker usually so I’m easy to please

[@akossiwak]

Did I double checked the length of the video because it's short compared to your usual? Yep. 😅🫣😂
But I understand it can be challenging being so busy and also create long content for the channel. 💛

[@LiselleSambury]

Hahaha yeahhhh I feel like the less I have to do, the more likely I am to be chatty. And usually I have nothing to do 🤣 but then I do stuff and that’s when I film less. Especially if other people are around cause I don’t want to shove a camera in their face or make them uncomfy and then I’m uncomfy doing public filming too lol
