Attending My First Author Events ✍️🥰 Weekly Vlog

[@meursaultscourtroom8886]

My favorite thing about you Lucy is your honesty, whether it's a case of the nerves or the desire to not have people see you at your sweatiest, it's nice to know that even people who seem to have it all (wrote a book! lovely fiancé! good hair!) still have challenges. Still waiting patiently for the US release of Re-Witch, funny to think there is already a follow up!

[@LucyJaneWood]

Oh we definitely still have a fair few challenges on the go, don’t you worry about that 😂 very kind of you, thanks pal ❤️

[@Yahoodoraze]

As a 28 year old who still feels a little behind her peers and trying to make it in a creative field (illustration) it’s SO inspiring seeing you, Leena and Daniel J Layton achieving your dreams (publishing books and going to drama school) post 30, I’m so happy for you guys and seeing things happening for you 3 at the same time is making my heart so happy and motivating me to keep at it! 🥰

[@jsanders5419]

Adam and his onions was so relatable 😂

[@aksez2u]

This almost hour long video is a real treat! Never worry about what's going on in your vlogs. I know everyone here is just happy to have you to keep us company and we're having a lot of fun being included in the excitement of the release of your book! ❤❤❤

[@harrietpalmann8450]

When you said 'so nostalgic it hurts' that resonated with me so much. The entire band of Metallica is like that for me. My brother is the reason I got into them, and I have to be selective about when I listen to them because they mean so much to me and the nostalgia I feel with them is a weird feeling I couldn't explain, other than with your exact description!

[@louisacoote2337]

That dress and waistcoat look lovely together, the blues match really well and the print of the dress is gorgeous.

[@LucyJaneWood]

Thank you! Accidental colour coordination 🥳

[@SheLivesHerDream]

Oh I'm so glad the clips I filmed were useful!! It made me so happy to see them! It was lovely meeting you, too - and I’m almost finished with Rewitched now 😍 xx Lottie

[@LucyJaneWood]

Lottie you saved my bacon! And made this vlog considerably more interesting than it would have been otherwise 😂 Thanks again! x

[@kirstengilroy302]

Hello lovely girl,I have watched your channel for years just watching (dare I say without sounding icky)blossom. I remember when you first started with Adam, who knew we would be here today. You deserve the World!!! I cannot wait to read your debut novel ❤️❤️😻😻❤️❤️

[@LucyJaneWood]

This is sooo lovely 😍 thank you for sticking with me for such a long time, you’re very appreciated xx

[@emmamazey]

It's so lovely to see so many lovely things happen to someone so deserving, good luck for publication week!

[@Rach3llxx1]

Best part of the week is watching these vlogs🥰 Got a cup of coffee in my Halloween mug and a blanket.

[@LucyJaneWood]

Well that sounds like the DREAM setup

[@joyyboyy1]

Your joy is magnetic!! Wishing you all the happiness, you're deserving! ❤

[@Julie701000]

Loving these weekly vlogs Lucy, they're so great. And incredibly happy for your success, your book is on my Christmas list, I can't wait to read it.

[@sarahboggs9419]

My husband and I walked back down the aisle to “the only exception” because that song will always have such a pull on my heart. It was the perfect way to start our marriage

[@LucyJaneWood]

I love that so much, Paramore are my faves 😊

[@09hstein]

I’m loving these weekly vlogs! It’s a nice cozy way to spend my Sunday mornings while I get ready for the day. Feels like I’m catching up with a friend.

[@MollandStephen]

I can't tell you enough how much I look forward to your videos, even if you think they might seem a bit muddle-y, they're so comforting and enjoyable to watch! I genuinely look forward to Sundays to watch whatever you've been up to! It feels like catching up with a mate🖤 Xx

[@irhonda31]

My copy of Rewitched arrived today. I am so excited!! I live in the San Francisco area, so the American cover - it’s adorable!

[@AmandaNiklasson97]

The evening is made when I see that you posted a long weekly vlog!!! Absolutely love them, so comforting to watch 🥰🙌🏼

[@cloudy2110]

Oh my god! I got my british version book a day too early!😃😃 thanks swiss bookstore for your excessive punctuality!😂😊

[@whitneylaurenjones]

You are the most genuine kind loveliest and honest person and I really appreciate how honest you are and how you share the normality of totally normal feelings that people don’t usually talk about. You inspire me. One of my nostalgic songs that hurts to listen to is up the junction by squeeze because it was one of my grandads favourite song and he used to listen to it all before he died. It always reminds me of him but also of all the fun we had while that song was playing or all the sing along we did to it ❤

[@butterpecanrican_]

Literally tearing up throughout this entire video. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!! You deserve every bit of this!

[@carmencrozier5215]

Happy publishing week 🧡 and thank you for the company during my very boring Monday morning ! Your energy always feels like a warm hug 😊🍂

[@nidhivaidya6485]

Rewitched is my birthday gift for myself this year (since my bday is at the end of the month) and truly can’t wait for it to arrive! Counting down the days until the release.

[@annainthefield]

Wow after that lil preamble i teared up when you included the clip of you on the peloton! I felt so proud of you for feeling ready to share it. I definitely have those same fears and frustrating anxieties around exceriscing around others so it felt inspiring to see you push past them! Thank you for sharing that and for the whole lovely vlog! These last vlogs have been the perfect way for me to start my sunday mornings here in California. And im so excited to read rewitched!

[@sweetsandchips]

I’m loving these weekly vlogs and the lengt of them! You are such an inspiration ❤ can’t wait for the book to get here so I can curl up with a cup of tea, a snack and just disappear in a new fantasy world for a moment.

[@mercerfamily4444]

I can't wait to watch this later! I like to save your vlogs for my nighttime cosy watches. I hope you're well and excited about the next few days with Rewitched coming out! I know I am! I've watched your channel for many years, and I'm so proud and happy for you. I wish you all the best x

[@LucyJaneWood]

Ahhh I love that, and thank you so much 😊 Have a lovely Sunday x

[@sweetlips7779]

Love love love these weekly vlogs. I look forward to them every week. Happy publication week!!

[@emmaletham6514]

These weekly vlogs are a BLESSING❤

[@Zoe-tf1hi]

Love the weekly vlogs, so interesting to see everything through your perspective - and witness the joy, the stress, and the magic that is to being an author!

[@elspethnicholson2409]

I just love these weekly vlogs so much! I’m so excited for Rewitched 🧙🏻‍♀️

[@corilydic5787]

AAHHH!!! I just got your book and I am SO excited!!!! So proud of you my friend! What an exciting adventure :)

[@ew6367]

Oh me and my husband love our “quizzy monday” 🎉

[@diyabhu1553]

I love spontaneous decisions! I love Sabrina the Teenage Witch because I grew up watching the show when it used to come on TV after school, so hints at nostalgia (I'm 31 UK-based). Plus also have a black and white cat called Smokey that looks a bit like Salem. Sabrina was such a badass witch. Otherwise, big congratulations to Lucy on the 2nd book deal - very proud of you!

[@cherylbalint3083]

Lucy, I found your book in a tiny bookstore in a tiny town in Michigan! I'm reading it as we speak. So exciting! Congratulations on your wonderful writing!

[@savannaleigh33]

Hi, from Orlando, FL!! Just received my copy of Rewitched, I am so excited to read it and see your story come to life! The opening of You by 1975 immediately hits me with a wave of nostalgia. Also, loving the weekly content!!

[@amybrennan5218]

I’m SO excited to read this book❤❤❤ the perfect autumn cosy read

[@hayleyman3377]

Living for the videos! I'm so excited for Rewitched this week

[@valarieloiseau5562]

So happy you're doing weekly vlogs! It's a perfect start to the week! ❤

[@AlexRhiannon-z3w]

Love these weekly vlogs! ❤

[@LucyJaneWood]

Thank you! Juggling everything is proving interesting so I'm just glad they're alright to watch 😂

[@robynloveschocolate]

My super nostalgic song is Thank You by Dido 😂 i hear that and I'm instantly transported to my childhood living room haha Wonderful vlog as usual Lucy! My copy of Rewitched should be arriving this week here in Canada! (I ordered the UK version haha) and i can't wait!!

[@ShirleyBrossman]

I got your book today, cannot wait to read it now! Well done you! 💜

[@saschahanlon9708]

Good Luck for publication day!!! I am very excited to read Rewitched! Xxx

[@ladeda00]

So nice to see the process as it goes, so excited for you! 🤍

[@sarahsearle9598]

Ooh the mcfly top...yay! My nostalgia song has to be a mcfly song and it would be bubblewrap. That song just takes me back to the first time i played the album and heard that song. Genuinely makes my heart race. X

[@ohheyniki]

I can not wait for Rewitched to get to me. I’ve been impatiently patiently waiting for it. So genuinely proud of you!

[@lydiaoc26]

I'm loving these regular weekly vlogs Lucy! Please keep doing them, yours are my fave 🥰 if you're after a new neutral eyeshadow palette, I can't recommend the new Lisa Eldridge Fawn palette enough! It's a neutral eyeshadow lovers dream! I also think you'd like many of Lisa's other products - her skin tint and liquid liner are both exquisite! And I think you'd like her Baume Embrace lipsticks too 💄

[@staceybarker129]

Lucy! I just bought your book,kindle edition and cannot wait to start reading it. Lots of love from Canada 😊

[@amymaxwell4121]

Somewhere Only We Know is my peak painful nostalgia song. Lovely vlog, so excited for you and love seeing bts of book world! Xx

[@vkce23]

Great vlog Lucy - you are so inspiring! Is it weird to be so proud of an internet person you’ve never met?! I’m really enjoying your weekly vlogs. Can’t wait for next week and your publication date! Mine is on order ☺️

[@sammileung86]

Watching this in anticipation of my copy coming tomorrow!! 🎉

[@thewildinbetween]

I've been a subscriber since you did a Christmas Lush haul years and years ago, and my (U.S.) copy of REWITCHED arrived yesterday. It feels like some a long time coming and it is so well deserved. I am so very excited to tuck in. Congratulations, Lucy!

[@A852-m9c]

Is it a bit of a bummer that crunch time for book 2 is during the release time of book 1? I hope you're able to soak in and enjoy the whole experience for Rewitched!

[@LucyJaneWood]

Definitely not a bummer because it’s all wildly surreal and exciting, but it’s made the workload a little crazy!

[@A852-m9c]

@@LucyJaneWood Haha, totally fair! Bummer is prob not the right word as it's all so surreal and exciting Hopefully you can enjoy! What a whirlwind it will be to look back on! 💙

[@chooseyourthoughts7692]

Yay, loving the weekly vlogs, thank you!!😊❤

[@daniellerebecca9463]

These vlogs feel like a comfy cosy catch up with a friend ❤ (Also really looking forward to reading Rewitched!! 🤗)

[@LucyJaneWood]

So glad to hear that! That’s how it feels when I’m chatting away 😂🥰

[@jessicailoveleo]

I'm late to this vlog - probably because I've been too busy listening to Rewitched on Audible! I'm so sad that I'm near the end because I don't want to finish it! I've absolutely loved it. Congratulations Lucy ❤

[@LucyJaneWood]

Thank you! That's so wonderful to hear 🥰

[@shortstuffchats]

I need to make sure I finish my current read by Wednesday so I am all ready to dive into Rewitched on Thursday! 🥳🥳🥳 so excited!!

[@vilkenstrutzutzutz]

Some of my absolute favourite bands I have to be in a very specific mood to listen to, for nostalgia reasons. Jane’s Addiction for example was a huge part of my 80s and 90s, but when I hear them now I completely zone out 😂 Nostalgic stuff gets me in a very weird mood.

[@veronicahejny]

I'm so excited for you!

[@sammyal21]

I just received your book (Wisconsin). I am only a few pages in, but I swear I hear your voice. It's like you're reading it to me! I love it already. 🎉🖤

[@grey7331]

Thank you for talking about working out - i feel exactly the same! I got a treadmill and feel so much safer doing my runs in the safety of my home ❤ lots of love from Germany - PS: love all the long vlogs comming in, so much fun! I‘m in hospital at the moment and can‘t sleep at all - so thank you for keeping me company in the lonely hours 🙏🏼

[@RahshellD]

You are an absolute doll!! I'm excited for my US copy to arrive Tuesday 🎉

[@ruthfowkes4712]

Oh I can't tell you the joy I feel when I get a notification of your uploads 😊, also love the back to school feeling , always feels like a new page in a book come September 🍁🌼🧡

[@arieldawson4358]

Girl I’m PROUD of you for the peloton clips. Xx

[@AngieRival]

Lovely video Lucy 🙂 first up, you looked great on the bike!! I get beet red and sweaty when I do cardio, always have always will.. I recommend the colourpop going coconuts palette, I've purchased it twice as I love it so much, perfect neutrals, great price, alternatively I highly recommend the colourpop Deja Bru as it is more cool toned neutral, also gorgeous.. Yes I watched to the very end.. love and hugs from Australia

[@ilse1]

im so standard with my makeup (i have one blush, one bronzer etc etc) i just bought the Morphe Neutral Territory 9 pan pallette bc my old one was getting disgustingly old and its georgeous i LOVE it

[@hannah7303]

Only got to the picture from your mood board but my first thought was fairies 🧚 probably completely off! Also adams onions saga were so real 😂

[@18veee18]

Not me immediately stopping the video to go to Google at "Rings of Power" thinking it was a new quiz show I've been missing out on 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

[@cristinaborges999]

Oh lucy, i am starting my batlle against anxiety and i feel your struglle but im writing this because you are a hero. Thank you btw 3 days and couting❤

[@katieb2273]

Just pre-ordered your exclusive edition - I simply could not not order it! It's ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL x

[@Lifeonasofa]

Love these vlogs 🥰 so nice seeing the journey of an author. My local WS event sold out but I hope the tour is amazing ✨

[@ohmygoditsagiraffe]

Me and my partner also have the same Monday night routine. Absolutely love only connect!!

[@emoozzah]

This time next week I will have your book in my hands! It sounds crazy but I am so happy for you!!❤ Love your vlogs and appreciate you taking the time to film them and share with us your journey! You are amazing in all aspects! Never forget that!

[@readknitwithcheryl]

New subscriber here! Def want to watch all of your past videos now.

[@gr33neyes1000]

Wishing you the best of luck, you have more than earned it

[@Alt98627]

I have the same feelings as you towards Sweet Disposition! For me the other song is MGMT - Time to Pretend. The nostalgia sometimes is so much that it hurts and freaks me out, so I have to skip it 😂

[@sweetForgiveness]

I really want a paleton but don't have any space for it in my tiny flat. A nostalgic song that transports me back is definitely Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney and U Make Me Wanna by Blue cause my sister and I sang it in the car so much when we were young. my exciting news this week is that i booked my first new York trip🎉 so a rewatch of your new york vlog is planned. I'm so excited for Thursday ✨ I hope you have a big celebration and then a good rest or vacation down the line.

[@Nicole-zy4vb]

All other lovely things (!!!) aside, the new camera quality is delightful!

[@kavatwastaken]

I got my copy delivered to sweden a couple of days ago, so excited to read it!

[@meli73934]

ITS 1:40pm on 9/17 & MY COPY OF REWITCHED JUST LANDED ON MY DOORSTEP!!!! 🎉❤!!! IM SO EXCITED!! I’ll be just as excited when my UK version comes too!! Lol.. YAY LUCY!!! You did it!!!

[@kristinasoden7737]

I feel EXACTLY the same about Sweet Disposition! I was also 18 when it came out and have to skip it sometimes because the feels are too much to take!! 😂

[@Mel.ani.N]

I'm charging my Kindle to 100% I predict that I will have to stay up and read all night tomorrow. Eek! I can't wait to devour your book. I really hope to savour it, but I'll probably just get lost in it.

[@emilyjess6418]

I just want to say I'm so happy for you! I don't know what's going on with me but I tear up watching these vlogs, happy tears of course! I can't wait to read your book. I have the following week off I plan to read your book and drink a lot of pumpkin spice. Thank you for making these.

[@LucyJaneWood]

Mate that’s so lovely 😭 thank you! Enjoy your week of cosiness ✨

[@cubalibre828]

I’m still sad that I missed out on tickets for the Liverpool event, but my copy of Rewitched is on order and I’m patiently waiting for the postman to arrive 😊

[@Sophieravenscroft]

Oooh what a lovely surprise! ☺️

[@LucyJaneWood]

Trying my best to be here every Sunday 😎

[@nidhivaidya6485]

My extremely nostalgic song is You Belong With Me - I was 9 when Fearless came out and have loved Taylor since then but it’s wild to me that I am 24 now and that song transports me back to being a little girl

[@CatherineSouthwell]

So excited for you.

[@LucyJaneWood]

Thank you! 🤩

[@lenaof]

Im only 7 min in, but I have to comment: 1. Nobody knows this book as good as you. Exactly what i repeat to all the phdstudents about their thesis. Of course you got this! (Not that I in any way felt confident myself in that situation, but I will lift up others if I can!). 2. Any yes, of course, any draft have to be perfect when I send it. Again not what I tell the students 😆

[@beckyjade12]

I've just received a copy of Rewitched for my 31st birthday - cannot wait to get started with it ✨ I know you probably don't have control over it, but it would be amazing if you could come to the Norwich Waterstones on yoir book tour ❤

I am looking forward to your videos every week 😊

[@LucyJaneWood]

That's such a compliment! Thank you 🩷

Haha the stupid voices come out immediately when I’m nervous 🥲

[@SnidySenses]

If it makes you feel better, I keep staring at the same cobweb in one of our lights for awhile and have yet to do anything about it 😂🤦‍♀. The staying on top of cleaning part of being an adult mostly focuses on vacuuming enough of our husky hair off the floor for me lol

[@priscillad.gutierrez1535]

In the U.S. and looks like my copy ships out Sept 17! Waiting very impatiently, but the vlogs help 😂

[@LynnetteReads]

Only in freezing weather is not worth hanging the washing out. If it is dry and above 0 degrees it is always worth hanging it because it airs it out and I think it dries as quickly as if you had spread it indoors straight from the machine. It smells nicer too!

[@LucyJaneWood]

Yessss thank you 😎

[@xx011]

It's worth it in freezing temperatures too! The water will freeze and then evaporate = clothes will dry. It just has to be continously freezing, prefeably less than -10°C when air is not as humid. But I don't know if you have those temperatures too often... 😂 (Greetings from Finland ☃️)

[@louisacoote2337]

My local pub does a quiz night on Mondays too, from October until April. I love Quizzy Monday nights on BBC. Sometimes Mastermind is on before Only Connect and University Challenge, and when I am at my parents’, we usually watch an episode of Countdown before or after all that. I love Only Connect, and can sometimes find the connection, work out what should come next, sort part of the word wall and am pretty good at the final round. I come from a super nerdy family, if you couldn’t tell

[@LucyJaneWood]

The holy trinity! I really appreciate the family dedication to quiz night 😎
