Thats awesome, its great youre being so transparent for those of us who would also like to go on a similar journey :) Congratulations on the baby!

Ah! This is so creepy! Your narration is great!

I felt the hairs stand up on the back of my neck! Fantastic!

I love this. More please!

All these series were also such part of my upbringing, it made me start rereading the blue is nightmare series again

I am all about the lovable characters! And I much prefer great story over great writing but I appreciate both!

WOW JJ I loved this! you should start doing more short stories. I feel that everyone has the room in their house. I can't wait For more like this!!!

I really liked this video. You guys have such great chemistry. Hope you make mroe videos together in the future. When it comes to books I prefer plot driven over characters but that doesn't mean I can't read a character driven book, it's just that I'm okay with a story having two-dimensional characters or superficial characters as long as the plot is good, but I'm less forgiving of a story when it has good characters but a bad plot. I'm pretty much the same with movies. When I rediscovered my love for reading books 20 years ago I started with a lot of sci-fi books written in the 19th century-because they were public domain by then, and I absolutely loved them, and in most of those books from that era there's very little character development. I mean development as in characters that feel fleshed out, and alive. The main focus was always the plot, and I was perfectly fine with that! When you think about it, when someone is telling you a good story, it's all about how the person tells it and how good the "plot" or events of the story are, and I think this carries over to novels too. You can have a writer who writes pretty but if the story is bad at its inception, then the book won't hold your attention, and vise versa. You MUST have both qualities reach a certain level or standard for a novel to be enjoyable. Each person will have their own baseline but I think that if one of those qualities lag too far behind the other, it'll make any person stop reading it, no matter how forgiving the reader is. That Joker film was amazing. Definitely one of the best performances in cinema, but it's Joaquin Phoenix so there was no doubt his performance was going to be good. You should check out another movie of his, a low sci-fi/romance film called "Her". J.J., you cracked me up with what you said about the Catcher in the Rye. I've known about that book from about the time I was in high school, if not before, and just reading the bookk's description it's never been something I can convince myself to read. Just sounds so boring. Maybe if I give it a chance I'd end up liking it but there's SO MANY BOOKS on my list that I want to read that I'm more interested in that I just can't justify reading it now. hahaha.

I'd give my life savings to watch the movie adaptation of your book!

This was such a fun video! Thank you for inviting me to appear on your channel! I am so honored!

More people, le gasp 😱

Trials for the Haunted is such an amazing book! Loved it! I want to listen to the audiobook even though I've read your book twice! I'm still trying to master the one handed typing.

I dunno how to get on the Advanced Reader list, but next time there is one, my wife and I would love it!

Congratulations, this is a big inspiration for me.

So proud of you, JJ!

Very nice! Already pre-ordered! Can't wait to read it. :-)

Wow!!!! A FANTASTIC TRAILER!!!!! I can't wait to buy this book!!!!! Sounds Amazing!!!!!

Wow! This was really cool!

Hey! I'm glad to see you posting on this channel again. Welcome back. There's something I want to comment on but I'll be messaging you about it elsewhere. Can't wait for your book to get released! Congratulations again!

Congratulations🥳on everything both motherhood and career milestones are amazing accomplishments!

🔥 oooo cant wait to read it

Thank you. I finally got up the nerve to join a group but I'm so new to writing I don't know how to critique properly. I don't know the terminology to use or what to listen for. I mostly point out repetition or redundancy in wording, but then I feel like a noob listening to the"editorial" and professional feedback from others. They catch things I wouldn't even think of

I'm very happy to hear that you got to enjoy the pleasure of "Free Flow Art" pantsing your new story. I always consider that to be the absolute joy of writing! One of the things I really like about you is your open honesty, this is a wonderful video!!!! Very well done!!!!!

Wait, I'm just finding out that you sold a book to a publisher and it's a planned trilogy. That's awesome! When will I get to read it?

Over the past few years I've heard and read writing advice from different popular and published authors (past and present), and also what their specific workflow might look like when compared to others. One thing I kept coming across what's the sentiment that most of what you write or ideas you come up with will be bad. You have to keep practicing and figuring out what is bad or wrong with what you wrote and improving upon it. Creative writing is a grind until you finally can pick out a precious gem that you will be proud of. Your dad is absolutely right, it is a learning! Practice makes perfect. I wish you the best of luck and I'll be supporting you along the way.

I highly recommend Merriam-Webster for your online dictionary/thesaurus needs. As an editor, it's the industry standard and I use it every day. There are ads but they don't interrupt my workflow and it may be an improvement over what you use now. Great video, JJ!

Great list! I use a few of these as well. Google Play books' AI narration has been on my backlog for a while. I need to at least make those files for myself before its out of the free beta! And people think I'm nuts for using PowerPoint as basically photoshop light. Lol. I do that too!

Hi JJ, a great video! You once commented that you were impressed with my business sense. Well, I can sure say I am impressed with yours! You are using several things that I don't use (yet). Oh yes, you do a great job on your UA-cam thumbnails! And, your intro is very cool :) Keep up the good work!

I dont know why, but the Star Wars crawl for the Draft2Digital made me chuckle.

Excellent! Thanks for sharing.

I just finished Empire the vampire, and he immediately shot up to my favorite author!

I had Rod do a final pass on my next book to avoid the press publish method of proofreading. He undersells his editing skills. Caught a lot of stuff the last pass missed. Although we both probably needed to research archaic English verbs.

An informative interview. You're a smooth interviewee, Rod. Great probing questions!

Thank you JJ I had never been a guest before. I was so nervous!!!! You helped me relax and you made me feel so welcome on your show. You are a skilled writer, a rockin' metalhead, and a very intelligent, honest, caring person. It is an absolute honor to be your writer-friend. Sincerely, thank you!

To all writers: You must be a guest on JJ's show!!!! She took a goof like me, and made me look pretty ok 😄 She is so smart and creative. She is honest and real. You will love talking with her!!!!!!!!

This story is sick!! It has a plot I think it’s pretty fun to imagine I also liked the video format, keep going A cool idea to increment the format is to add a smooth cinematic song to help get everything in the mood

Awesome!

Very much looking forward to more readings by you!!!!!

First: A wonderful story!!!! Second: Where did you find those fantastic graphics? Third: Your reading of this great story was perfect!!!!! Good scary tones mixed with a hidden passion (Did that come from within?)!!!!! This is one of the very best productions I've seen on UA-cam!!!! Very, very well done!!!!!!

Marvelous story, looking forward to seeing more of your writing :)

hey, aspiring author here :) i was wondering if you could share the questions you asked your beta readers or just generally share how you got the questions? i’m struggling with finding questions that aren’t super broad but aren’t super specific and would love a first-hand opinion!

You know I'm older than you. I hope I will live long enough to kick back and enjoy the following: !!! WORLD-WIDE BROADCAST !!! "Somehow, our guest today found the time between hundreds of interviews, to come on our broadcast! President of the United States is watching this live broadcast today! Ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcome J.J. Kimmorist!" - - - Massive worldwide applause!!!!!

It's definitely hard when we're trying to get our work out there. Even in my field, I've been sending out so many emails and applications but many of them don't lead to anything. Twitter seems to be a good bet to get your name out there. Keep up the hard work! Writing a book, even if it's "bad" is still great since you learn from the experience. And congrats on opening your own LLC! It's great seeing all you've been doing these past two years!

Love your videos. :) I'm looking forward to reading your latest book.

J.J. : You so impress!!!!! You did a great job on the thumbnail, and you kept the interview moving along very smoothly. I really enjoyed watching this!!!!!!

Tricia: Wow, you are so much more relaxed in that setting. You represented so well! The editing tips you shared were so excellent, and most editors would not share such knowledge for free. This tells me that you care more about genuinely helping writers than just making a buck. Very well done!

PATIENCE: I am the most impatient man you'll likely ever meet. But, I have learned in the world of writing, you must have patience. BELIEF: Believe in yourself. You are right about where you should be in the current stage of your writing career. Doubting yourself can be crippling. From what I've seen thus far, YOU ROCK!!!!!!

OK, this is just COOOOOOL !!!!!!

It's been a pleasure working with you J.J.!! We're really glad to have you helping us make this world alive in such an amazing way.

Well done! Congratulations!
