💜

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!

She looks like Emma Watson

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

Ah, what were your thoughts on the Midnight Library? Maybe I missed a vlog update from you before. It was a book club read for me, but I'm still only halfway through and struggling to finish it 😅 Some themes really hit close to home for me, so maybe that's why I stopped after starting it in October last year 😭

❤❤❤❤love you

Hi Christy! I was wondering if you'd be interested in filming a video where you try different writing challenges/prompts from social media (there's a lot on Pinterest!). I see them all the time, and I can't help but wonder if they're any good. Also, if you're looking for pretty versions of Virginia Woolf books, vintage has a lot of pretty ones. I have their editions of a room of one's own, the waves and Orlando.

Beautiful vlog ❤️

💛🌻

I love your videos, i have found very few content creators that share Adelaide in the way that you do. Living here i've always looked elsewhere and thought 'i wish i lived there, looks so beautiful' but watching your videos i am able to appreciate how pretty certain areas of Adelaide really are. ☺

Love The Remains of the Day - I read that years ago (and I need to read it again). But if you’re desperate to donate something go with the Dan Brown book - who really needs to read it more than once?

Thank you for this 👏🏼

I love this. Everyone I meet that actually share an interest for books, proceed to tell me they read Colleen Hoover, and then it just feels like no one actually shares my interest in reading like i thought. I’m happy you are sponsored by day one, i think my resub is coming up and I’ll be sure to plug your code in! Thank you for being you!

Charming! I loved the realistic day. The mini unhaul - it's just a fine edit and polishing touch. The picturesque sushi and reading poetry in the garden. This is the second tree this year that was still green! And just dotting about reading various things. Lovely! ✨

I call that magical voice the Neil Gaiman voice. It’s a difficult one to get right. Too much and you’re talking down to the reader, or the sweetness is so unbelievable it just takes you out of the story.
