[@lynndjung]

[@CheyenneSedai]

I watched your querying journey video, and now I'm so invested in Moths as I go back to watch these vlogs. Hope to have it on my shelves one day

[@lynndjung]

This means the world to me 🫶 thank you so, so much!

[@oddspongeout]

I'd personally love more travel footage! That said, I like the way you did it in this video, incorporating it into the writing.

[@lynndjung]

Ahh thank you, that's reassuring to hear!! I'll definitely continue to do it that way :)

[@laurenct]

lark my fave unhinged sapphic,,,also your gothic necromancy romantasy im SCREAMING bc machiavelli...i love reading 'bout awful politicians,, lynn i need this my gosh 👀also chiang mai is so gorgeous, would totally be hyped to see more slice-of-life stuff from you! I'm so glad you feel good about where Moths is at, we're finally cruising toward THE END✨!!

[@lynndjung]

She's so unhinged sometimes loll, I want to write the new project so bad!! I'm definitely not opposed to including more life and travel content :') tysm for watching and supportinggg

[@ZPrince]

the way you describe enemies to lovers is CORRECT. and this vlog was entertaining!! i love the way you edited the chiang mai & chiang rai parts 😊

[@lynndjung]

haha I have STRONG opinions-thank you!! it's a ton of fun to make my lil travel montages

[@Lara_Ameen]

I love the way you did the travel footage in this video. It’s absolutely beautiful! I also love the idea of your new gothic romantasy idea! How exciting! And hearing your process for MOTHS is so cool. Enemies to lovers is my favorite trope as well as opposites attract and the way you described it is *chef’s kiss* Reminds me of my favorite TV ship! They hate each other, but they have so much good banter. And of course the show got canceled before season two even could end so we never find out what happened in the show in general. I absolutely love these writing vlogs and I hope you keep it up. I’m sorry it took me so long to comment!

[@lynndjung]

Aw thank you so much, I'm glad you like it and ty as always for watching and commenting!! Who's your favorite TV ship omg??

[@angelicari2317]

travel footage would be awesome! The lanterns were so pretty 🤩 also ahhh moving into act three is so exciting! You’re like halfway there- I can’t wait to read this masterpiece ‼️

[@lynndjung]

Thank you so much!!

[@mhjmakes3631]

I'm definitely open to seeing more travel footage included. It gives a more complete picture of the writing process, imo, because like you said, these things that you are experiencing will have an impact on your stories. And, I figure, vlogs like these are a very special thing to have since historically, we've never had them for writers before. So, you might as well make the most of them. (Not to say that you haven't already!) (Also, that necromancer story has me intrigued. You come up with some very interesting story ideas.)

[@lynndjung]

Thank you!! I'll definitely keep including travel footage when it's relevant. :)

[@Amaiguri]

I would love to see more travel stuff in your writing vlogs! I'm a big fan of ambient rooms and ASMR end that sort of thing but also video essays and good writing vlogs like yours are kinda the best of both

[@lynndjung]

Aw perfect, i'll continue to include it then!! Tysm 🥹

[@anandaferraresi]

*laughs in sapphic got me SCREAMING! OMG LYNN!

[@kelleyiswriting]

Omg I love this vlog!! I really love seeing all your travel footage thanks for sharing with us

[@lynndjung]

aww thank you kelley!! hehe I'm so excited to share

[@trilingual3631]

I’m on the 6th draft of my work in progress and I really feel you when you talk about Moths. I am also DONE. I want it to be DONE!! I am a Sagittarius with lots of Sagittarius also living abroad. I feel represented.

[@BlackXSunlight]

"I look like a founding father right now" subscribing bc you're funny af 😂

[@Nezukosonexonly]

Honestly, I'd read your book, it seems interesting 🤭

[@lynndjung]

Thank you, I hope that becomes a possibility some day!

[@NatashaLeecole]

Ooooh 👀✍🏽🖤✨

[@AdamFishkin]

Your hair didn't look bad to me. I quite liked the waviness of it. Sorry to hear you had bed bugs. Hope you avoided it becoming a long-term issue. As a plotter rather than a pantser, you can consider me baffled when a pantser can go through a 3-4 day dry spell, then pick their train of thought back up. Have you found the outline makes that easier? Similarly, the subterfuge of a villain and the twists / turns of a plot get less out of hand in the drafting stage thanks to a solid overall structure to fall back on. You're the first author I've come across who's been able to talk about applying zodiac signs to fictional characters, but without being a douche about it.

[@lynndjung]

Haha thank you, honestly the lighting did me more favors than I expected but I promise in real life it's been giving me a hard time!! I did avoid bed bugs becoming an issue thankfully. Outlines do make that easier but not by much... It's more of a motivation/momentum thing for me though! I'm glad! I'm a casual fan of astrology and mostly enjoy it for creative applications like character development.
