Frequently Asked Questions:
😇 How old are you? 22
📝 What are you studying? I just finished studying English Literature at the University of Exeter. But we are students for life, and I hope that I will continue learning even though I am out of structured education.
📚What are your favourite books? • 200 book recommendatio...
📝 Have you written a book? My life goal is to be a published author and make a living from writing and I am using this year to gain experience, build up a portfolio and work on a book with my agent. I have just finished the final draft of that book, as you can see in this video. I did self-publish a book about bullying when I was seventeen which is available on Amazon (amzn.to/3mdJKLm), but I'm slightly embarrassed by it now!
🎃 Do you have merch? I don't have merch in the traditional sense (I can't imagine selling something with my face or name on haha!), but I do have a stationery company where I sell planners for students. These are all designed with students in mind and follow models which I've used when planning my studying. Our products are printed in pastel colours on recycled paper: bit.ly/3wgsR85

I think a really cute idea would be if you filmed your desk set up with candles burning and rain outside your window as a little background for other people to study with?? Maybe with some background music playing too? It would remind me of one of those “studying at hogwarts” videos but at ruby’s desk :)

[@haxel222]

Absolutely!

[@Coffee_Is_Life_2010]

Indeed, we need this.

[@Coffee_Is_Life_2010]

Also, there is an app called “rain rain” which I believe has been featured in one of Ruby Granger’s videos, you can get rain, fire, river and thunder sound effects, you can layer the sounds and create your own mix of sounds to study to.I would recommend you look at that if you have not already as it really is a good app.

I know you must have a lot on your plate, but it would be really interesting if you'd reflect on your method of writing this book and compare it to the writing behind Erimentha Parker's to do List - I know you were only seventeen when you wrote this but it would be so insightful to hear how you tackled Erimentha vs this book! :)

Ruby. This was so beautiful. The way it made my mood change and fully enjoy what you put here. You're so talented and so inspirational. Every time you point out something and explain how beautiful and grateful we are to have it, it lights up in my brain and I become more grateful of it. I have finally started to write my own book! Even though I know it's not so easy, you have motivated me to do it. Please do more vlog like this.

[@jennaschmidt3332]

Dear Ruby, I have been a part of your community for quite some time now (actually, now that I‘m thinking about it, it must be more than three years!). This month, I‘ll be starting university in London as an international student. I don‘t think I‘ll even remotely be able to tell you how much you have impacted my life. It is because of you that I am starting this new chapter of my life in a few weeks and I can‘t tell you how excited I am. There is so much to say (positive, thankful words!) yet so little room here. It is difficult to summarize your impact in a few, two-dimensional words, but I‘ll try it either way. You are an inspiration! Thanks to you, I am passionate about learning (though, I have to admit, I am in a bit of a lazy phase right now, hihi), I am passionate about Harry Potter, English Literature, autumn, the smell of books, being kind to others, and being myself. I know this may sound *a little* exaggerated, but the more I think about it, the more I know it‘s true. I am really trying my best to not sound like a complete maniac (and I think I am gloriously failing), but I just needed to tell you this from the bottom of my heart. Looking forward to watching more videos! Thank you Ruby💕 Greetings from Germany, Jenna

[@ektas3688]

Ruby’s autumnal vlogz are so cosy,can’t wait for her autumnal content🍂

[@fluffytummy133]

Hi, Ruby, I would really recommend you to get a proper desk chair since you, and the whole world, sit in front of computer for hours and hours pretty much everyday. That backpain won't be pretty when it comes, and it will be soon if you keep hunching over your desk like that :( A nice ergonomic chair is an investment, honestly.

[@mary_book]

I love your chatty vlogs!! You motivate me sooo much and you’re so adorable Ruby! I love blackberries. In Germany we have Blackberry bushes everywhere. I miss the rain soo much! It’s so warm here in Germany.💗✨💗lots of hugs!!

I sat in a little café at the beginning of the week and wrote four letters before the start of my late shift and my wife and I collected a kilo of blackberries afterwards. I revelled in my productivity. I'm planning my retirement based on your productivity, to have no wasted time. Thank you for posting.

[@CristinaGonzalez007]

Ruby! I believe the tiny wasp-like insect is actually a fly. We study it in community ecology and zoology it's called "aposematism", and it's a mechanism that tipically-prey or, inocuous-but-huntable animals use to avoid getting eaten. A popular animal that uses this mechanism is fake mexican coral snakes, as they are not poisonous/venomous (sorry I don't understand well the difference btw the 2, im spanish and we got the same word for them hahaha) yet they imitate a rather dangerous "cousin", the "coralillo sonorense or mexican coralillo" (coralillo = small reef in spanish). In Spain this summer wasps have been really active too, probably due to ben exposed to an 8 month draught thus getting to our human environment to get food shelter or water, but who knows 😂. Gotta say after 2020 I expect nothing hahahaha

[@fluffytummy133]

@@RubyGranger8 Oh, whatever kind you want ^^ It could be a vlog of a day/week where you spent a lot of your time writing?Like, a diary of a writer but you can watch it. It could even be a series, you know? You could put out a writing vlog maybe once a week and number them as you go along, separating them from your other videos. Writing Vlog #1 Getting started on a new book. What I'm reading. Discipline and the art of writing. Writer's Vlog # 2 NaNoWriMo and Me. The importance of ploughing through to get everything out. Something like this? Honestly, whatever you feel like filming. But I do want to say that the longer they are, the better.

[@adventureswithgreenunicorn1980]

I love all your videos and as a bonus nature fact that wasn't a wasp that you saw it was a hoverfly, they look like wasps but they don't build a nest the like wasps do instead they lay their eggs on a river bed. Why there are so many in your room is maybe you had a scented candle and they smelled that. Also they don't sting.

[@RubyGranger8]

Ah that's so cool! Thank you for telling me! Wasps tend to settle and start to build nests around my bedroom and so I was slightly concerned that might have been happening again... so I've very pleased to hear that!

I love your channel sm!!! Finding it so helpful and inspiring!!! I also love when it rains and will plan my day around it so that I can write or read while it’s raining with some ambiance classical music playing. It’s the best thing ever and conditioned my brain into not being so depressed and unmotivated to do things on gloomy days. The opposite effect now rings true, when it rains I instantly get to planning my day around the times it’ll be raining and stick to tasks so much so that I’ll have time for those activities I enjoy! I plan to toss in some arts this upcoming year and do livestreams on the channel I start so I can share that time with others! You inspire me to be less anxious in sharing myself and life with others which is a big thing and I’m eternally grateful to you and creators like you who have these positive effects in the world 🤘🏻😌🤌🏻💕✨truly amazing humans!!!

Hi Ruby! I have purchased the "Productive Week" bundle from your shop a few weeks ago. I am from Germany so I knew it would take a while to be shipped ( it took some time with the last one too) but I was wondering if there was any problem with the shipping? Unfortunately I don't think I have selected tracked shipping so I'm not quite sure what to do. Because I don't know if it's on the way still or if the order just didn't go through at all and I should order it again. I don't even know if you can help me at all but I just thought I should ask. :) Love the video by the way! It's really motivating! 💗
