Thanks for making this. So far you are the only person explaining romantic fantasy.

I usually have the opposite problem, but great tips!

Nice tips!

Retaining motivation for writing can definitely be a struggle - thanks!

Publishers just threw out a category to take away from the epic fantasy and romance which are different as we know, and called the combination Romantasy, which they sum up as YA Don't shoot the messenger okay

Hm, I hadn't really thought about it but I suppose that means I could market my latest series - just working on the last book of five - as Romantic Fantasy since there is a strong romantic sub-plot which didn't have to be there. Though I suppose if it has Romance in the classification, it absolutely has to have HEA/HFN. It could go either way. (I'm a pantser, yup, pantsing a five-book epic fantasy series, but all my series have been pantsed, I'm no stranger to it.) (I clicked on your video because I always want to learn new things. And I did, so that was good.)

as a new writer working on my first fantasy novel, thank you for this video!! subscribed immediately!

Paige Toon does love triangles very well

Thank you for this video I put away a book idea 3 years ago about the forbidden romance between a wolf and an elf it was set in present day England so like they were modern young people The wolf is a guy who comes from a strict and traditional tribe which he doesn't want to be a part of , the elf girl is in a similar situation her family are very powerful and she refuses to abide by old fashioned duties she wants to live an independent life. It was heavily inspired by the last of the mohicans, shannara chronicles and wolfs rain. The wolf guys family are spiritual they believe in a god who brings peace and pride to their kind it was made up by me but I did research a little bit on native American, Inuit culture

Great, on point plot points. For me, my only big deviation is that I experimented with the 'meet-cringe' instead of the 'meet-cute'. Not sure if it'll work but it's fun to work these characters toward trusting each other despite a very bad first impression. The rain ambience was atmospheric. Looking forward to more videos!

So excited to find your channel, I love watching newer/smaller authortubers! I loved hearing about your tips for kickstarting your motivation. I also tend to use vlogging authortubers to motivate me, it feels like I’m not the only one working on my WIP. 😊

Let me know where in the process you’re at in your current WIP.

Wishing you an amazing 2024. Good luck getting monetised, it's not easy!x

I failed my deal to end book until the end of year and send it to the contest until 12/31. I started to write something different 3 days before. :D

Let me know everything you all were able to accomplish in 2023. Even if it wasn’t writing related, let me know because looking at the positives is the way to start off next year right.

I totally agree with you. I participated in NANoWriMo for the first time this year and the word count goals really help me get motivated. But my first draft was kind of done before the 50k and I didn't make that goal for several reasons. I would like there to be an option to adjust the goal, or at least still have a chance to be able to win in some way even if you don't make it to 50k. I feel like people have all kinds of different goals, but the event is very rigid in my opinion.

I've never participated in NaNoWriMo. Mostly because the thought of it stresses me out, but I always get the urge to in November and then tell myself "next year." I'm glad that you're not stressing about it and not going into burn out. It's good to see that you're doing what's best for you. I also like that you talked about the "hustle culture" of it all and what comes after.

NaNo is not for everyone. Everyone works differently, so the set-up doesn't work for everyone. I agree about the focus on word count and nothing else though. I've done NaNo twice and have two first drafts. No idea what to do with them now, LOL. I think doing a different novel month challenge is a good idea. November is very busy for many people.

My intention was to put a question in the comments for you to answer, and of course I completely forgot about it. 🤣 So here it is. How is your NaNoWriMo going? And do you like the idea of starting our own novel month challenge?

My writing companions are my chocolate Labradors, Hector and Paris.x

Let me know how you take care of yourself! I would love for us to share tips and tricks as writers and creatives for how we can better take care of ourselves. Remember, not everything works for everyone, so stay nice to others.

Let me know what project you're working on for NaNo or just to watch the chaos that is my NaNo.

Instant sub, I have a feeling your channel is going to help motivate me a lot in my own writing process. 💕

Hi Bella! Welcome to Authortube! I'm a romance writer and I've been on UA-cam for over a year now. Live sprints can be so helpful!Subscribed.x

I luv Fantasy and like Romance so you got my attention. Then I make book trailers w/ original music to represent stories/characters so I like learning writers thoughts and strategies cuz that helps me understand stories when I interpret them and represent them w/ music so your style sounds intriguing. Looking forward to your following videos so big welcome!

These are some really good resources! Alyssa has a great channel and her twitter threads are supper informative.

Aw, thanks for the shout out. ^^ I'm glad that you feel and emphasize it's okay to readjust goals. As you know I am constantly having to adjust mine. We'll keep that novel progressing every monday. 💪
