Love, love, love this! Great interview ❤ The points raised about the importance of parental themes in our literature and media were excellent. This is something that has stuck me for years. It's such a relatable and honest theme, and its loss and dismissal is strange and frankly sad. I miss it!!! Give me my angst dam**!!!!!!!

Yeah... imma need to pick this up. Never read from her before but now I will!

This was great!

It's our time sis! Many Congratulations ❤🎉❤

Enjoyed the interview and the truths he spoke to about the loneliness/ independence of adulthood and difficulties of being in a relationship (doing your own thing v seeing how you can be better by compromising with another person).

Delicious Monsters was fantastic, and I should reread it at some point. The pacing, multiple perspectives, narrative structure, etc. were all so expertly crafted. I was worried if I'd be able to finish it when I first got it because it was so big, but I tore through it in a couple days.

Enjoyable interview. There's a definite specificity to rural v urban living. I've lived a couple different places (mostly small towns or suburbs), and there's even specificity there. The suburb I grew up in used to be farm country until fairly recently, and you can see that in the street names and local landmarks. There are still people who own farm animals because they were grandfathered in, and it's fairly common to see deer or geese in your backyard. Which is different from some other developments where it's more like a HoA.

As someone who briefly considered starting my own business, I appreciate your perspective on the challenges of being self-employed. I don't want to write full time, and being self-employed is definitely not a good fit for me right now, but I'm sure I'll revisit this info.

Appreciated Tatiana's insights into subgenres in indie publishing. I hadn't heard of LitRPG or anything like that before, but it is interesting to see anime's influence on the US literary sphere as anime has become an increasingly formative medium in many authors' lives

Informative interview. I'd heard of this organization before but didn't know much about the services they actually provide.

Appreciated the insight into your process and the advice

Hall's commitment to her writing routine is commendable. I'm interested in her fantasy romance because I'm trying to get into the genre. I haven't had much luck finding stories I've liked, but I hope my luck will change soon.

Thanks for sharing information about this new software

Clare seems really funny. Something about her mannerisms reminds me of Robin Thede. I'm not an audiobook person, but since that's the only format for this story, I'll need to give the medium another try.

Appreciated the points that marketing is communication and how to hone your message for best results

Yes! I’m figuring this all out now for my project so this was very needed!

"hallucinate over dead trees" 🤣🤣🤣

Never thought green lipstick wouod looks o nice💚🍏💄

The knowing what is important in your story also just makes it clear for you. Great video

Great interview, and thank you for the video!

Love seeing the shop under the video--marketing maven activated! 💚

Love this advice!

What about a story about a Black Female Slave Owner. Could be set in an alternative universe. Could be interesting and historically accurate....

hmm... So a black woman from Nigeria and a black woman from South Carolina experience the same racism? Melanin is not a identity. Melanin is a family of biomolecules organized as oligomers or polymers, which among other functions provide the pigments of many organisms. So, I'm confused. Are you both just unrepentant racialists?

Yup.

Right!! And here's a news flash: it's not exclusive to YA. I'm having a lot of backlash and I'm writing historical fiction.

I always miss these these days😢. But points were made!

Great discussion!

Loved everything about the conversation - I always read one-star reviews over the 5 star ones to pick my next read 😂😂- just got my copy of Supersized Bubble Gum and cant wait to get to chapter 3

Loved the conversations happening in this interview!

Great interview and topics on this episode frfr.

Really great interview, thanks for putting When Blood Meets Earth on my radar

1. I love these interviews and honestly seeing another Black Autistic Author obly motives me more to Finish My Book. 2. My Birthday was last week on the fifth (yes election day unfortunately) but on the upside I bought both of your books we are the origin and we are dying gods and I am really looking Forward to reading both of them.

I absolutely adore what was said about NK Jemisin. I've even seen booktubers on this platform give Sanderson five stars and rave about his prose and then say Jemisin's Broken Earth is a one star because of prose. Make it TF make sense y'all! 😂 Not to be a hater but I suffered through Mistborn and it's absolutely mechanical prose.

🤎 I’ve been using ellipsus for a few months now and I like it! Thanks for introducing me to it. I can’t wait to test out the collaboration features

I was a tutor for 3rd graders and one student didn’t even know her alphabet. It’s so baffling to see how bad as a society we effed up. These kids are struggling and it seems like no one actually cares. I hear so much trash talk about what they can’t do and nothing being done.

I'm going to give it a try.

🤎🤎🤎

Such a great conversation!

It's November 6, 2024 and I'm working on a romance novel for NanowriNOT. My goal for today is 1800 words.

This was great to listen to. Lockhart is so poetic as a person - great perspectives and input. I loved the segments on YA/Middle Age books and the Traditional/Indie industries, but all of this was a fantastic conversation and I so appreciate the podcast to learn and keep growing as an aspiring author 🫶🤍

Enjoyed the interview

Awesome interview!

I've been subscribed for a few weeks now but haven't had a chance to watch any of your videos until now. And this is truly divine intervention! This interview is so inspiring and really cleared my head of a lot of overthinking that gave me writers block for the past 3 weeks. I was set on YA but the ideas in my head are all middle grade, which never crossed my mind! Thanks so much to both of you! And much success 🌹 🌹

"I want to live in this world where these facts aren't true." I think you summed up that mentality very well. It's tiring to see itplay out on repeat when we could be working to change things instead of avoiding the truth of what is happening.

I’m struggling with creating nuanced character development and conflicts inside the first fiction I’m attempting to write. This video help me immensely. Thanks for the fresh insight! 💜🤎

Haven't heard of Embers on the Wind before. Added to my TBR

I really like the Ignyte Awards and the Carl Brandon Awards. They're both awards for authors of color writing speculative fiction. I vote, nominate, and donate to these awards as able. There was the Shaded Choice Awards a few years back. It was a reader's choice award for authors of color run by 3 Black booktubers. Unfortunately, it only happened for a year, and the organizers weren't able to run it again after that.

I can't write YA. I'm old
