Project tea cup is officially on submission to editors at the publishing houses!!! This is very scary!! I didn't even vlog the process of draft 7 (which I completed in October) because I was so stressed about the whole thing, but I did want to say a huge thank you to all of you for all of your beautiful support and enthusiasm, both this year and in all of the years that I've been making videos here. I'm so incredibly grateful to have you guys watching these videos. Thank you again and I hope you all have an amazing holiday period and a safe and happy new year 💛💛💛

Would love a syllabus/book list for teaching oneself to write. There are so many books on "how to write" but trying to figure out which actually have a point or are the most efficient way to get information across even, is the hardest part for me

@@christy-anne-jones There have been a lot of complimentary passes. In all likelihood, we will have to go on a second round (it's alright - I have already mourned it and I'm trying to get a draft of something new done in early January). Anyway, my fingers are crossed for you and Project Teacup!

The syllabus and master’s reading list is a fantastic idea for a video. I get approached a lot at shows by young artists asking me if art school is the answer. The short answer is no, you really don’t.

As someone who lives with a disability, I often struggle with writing and find it challenging to reach even a modest goal of 250 words per day. That's why I can truly empathize with your situation, Christy, and completely understand the difficulties you're facing. The limitations we deal with can make what seems like a simple writing target feel like an overwhelming task.

😭😭💛 (It's a 1920s inspired atmospheric fantasy novel, set in a magical city. It's got witches and gothic twists and very flawed characters and monstrous women and complex examinations of love: platonic, unrequited, found families, etc. I'm very proud of it. I hope people get to read it one day 💛)

I've been on sub for months and I want nothing more than to close out that tab too! I'm revising my second novel for my agent (my third overall) and drafting my fourth. I wish I could start fully fresh, but I needed to tell myself this is what I can control and go for it.

I'm know re MFAs in fiction that the process and system is different in the UK/ Canada/ Australia from how it is in the US. I'm finishing an MFA here in the US at the moment and here there are a great many FUNDED MFAs. They don't pay much-mine was on the high end at 34,000 USD a year-but you don't have to take out loans. Granted, they're usually funded because as an MFA student you teach undergrads. The only MFA program I know of that funds its students without requiring them to teach is Michener at UT Austin, and its acceptance rate is about 1%. I'd say the degree requirements (teaching, workshop, seminar) take up 20-30 hours a week of work, depending on how efficient you are, which to my mind leaves you with more than enough time for your own writing. Of course, the funded programs are very hard to get into. I think mine has an acceptance rate of 2-3%, for example, and are often very small. Moreover, they can't usually fund students from outside the US. So pros and cons, but I did want to note that.

Hi Christy, do you think you could put project Speigeltent on the back burner temporarily and begin your third story first? Just a thought if you’re struggling a bit?
@christy-anne-jones
@christy-anne-jones 20 сағат бұрын
I am a lot further a long with Spiegeltent than the third project, and it would be a much, much smaller book (and faster book to write) 😊 also it's what I actively want to write next. I've just been so consumed with TEA CUP, that it's been tricky to move on, no matter what project I'm moving onto 😅

honestly, I could be absolutely wrong and eat my words here one day, but I really don't think I'll ever write a romance novel 👀 fantasy story with romance as a b plot or, rather, c plot is probably more likely but even then, it's not my main driver 😊 (I get more excited by theme, character and world building)
