Also, I hate First Person too! I have like an irrational hatred for it. Third Person Limited is my go-to.

Hi, Dami! I'm looking forward to hearing about all bookish things you want to share with us. From an oldie content creator to a newbie, welcome aboard. We're so glad to have you here!

Thanks for the welcome! :D

[@storiesbydesirae]

Hi Dami. Yeah I'm on youtube a lot more too. Instagram is hard for me, but I'm trying to hang in there with it. I didn't try with TikTok because it's not for me. Congratulations on your book deal and finding an agent! I like how you spoke about middle grade books being a big influence for you! That's cool to hear. I'm Desirae. I write YA contemporary/slice of life and poetry.

[@StoriesByKayla]

Welcome to Authortube, and congratulations on getting published! Also, that's a cute story about asking your mom what she thinks of your writing. I think it's nice that she was honest with you when you pushed her for the truth. That's a good mom! lol

[@damiwriteshere]

thank you!! whenever I need the *real real* truth, I can count on her XD

[@Wallisimo]

Woohoo! Welcome! The concept for your debut sounds amazing! And good luck with the line edits on your second. Dev edits are my favorite. Line edits kill me LMAO!
