a mini crisis & getting back in a writing groove // weekly author vlog

[@alesswonderland]

Something good that has happened to me in the last few days: I graduated high school!! It was such a nice feeling and I am excited to devote the summer to being happy again. I know you usually ask for these in vlogs when you are feeling down.

[@Katesbookdate]

Omg yay! Congrats on your graduation! Hope you have a wonderful summer!

[@britneynicole8903]

Congratulations, girl! That is a huge accomplishment!

I hope the rest of the books make it in time! It's a good warning to other authors not to rely on shipping time.

You screaming about Amazon and your cats going nuts in the background embodies the CHAOS OF THE MOMENT. Holy crap that seems so stressful. 😭 GOOD LUCK BUDDY! At least your revisions seem to be going well!

[@Katesbookdate]

Dean’s like idk why we’re upset but yes I can go with this

[@chelseawritesbooks8763]

If it makes you feel any better, D.C. is suing Amazon for the rule about Amazon's listing having to be the lowest price. There's other things too, but that's the big one.

Ewww I hope your book issue gets resolved, what a pain!! I read Poems for the End of the World today and just have to say, thank you for sharing that collection! I would say I wish my 25-year-old self could have read it, but at 33 it still resonated with me. Maybe even more because I’ve been through the thick of it and can look back on it now. I’ll be revisiting those pages frequently!

[@Katesbookdate]

So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for reading!

[@britneynicole8903]

I am so excited. I want to start reading poetry soon, and I want to start with Katie’s books! Oh, no! I am definitely going to start with her books.

You’re always so organized, I aspire to be more like you 😂

[@jennerallyamazing5528]

Can you do a video on how you revise your first drafts? Like do you rewrite everything like some authors do?? It’d be so helpful to know your organization and thought process !

[@Katesbookdate]

I talk about my process in this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4G6f6yamM95mZI

[@AL-br2ox]

Sending you good vibes for your Amazon issues! Everything will work out! :)

[@jacintarobison4352]

I just finished reading The anti-virginity pact! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Katesbookdate]

So glad you enjoyed it!

💕💕💕 love your vlogs

[@isabellared8382]

Good luck with the paperback debacle! I've heard there is a global paper shortage & a lack of printers available at the mo so I wonder if AZN or its printers are prioritising larger orders or something along those lines?

[@milomazli]

Im cheering for the books to arrive on time!!

[@pattyellis5359]

Awesome to see another vlog from you. Thumbs up! And I know that you will know how to word type of what your 4th book is about. And just wondering, do you also have a name for marionette book 1? Like you have for book 2.

[@Katesbookdate]

The Marionettes is the title for book 1!

[@debbieg.4882]

Stumbled across your channel today and subscribed. How did the book issue with Amazon turn out?

[@Katesbookdate]

Hi, welcome! I managed to order the paperbacks for the 7ish dollar price - the shipping was delayed again (lol) but they finally got here today!
