    I love how you didn't put people on the cover because so many writers do that and I keep imagining the character a different way instead of the cover and I feel absolutely conflicted.

    Ughhhh you can do it all, can't you? You're so talented and motivated, makes me jealous!

    Your attention to all the details is just unbelievably good. You come up with things that I sit here and think, I would have been stumped on how to work that out. And your reasoning behind the cover is honestly brilliant. I have several friends who are cover artists and would completely agree with you. A beautifully done!

    I love how detailed you are about everything. Making the cover on your own, the map, drawing the characters. It's just lovely.

    Creepy comment warning: you have such a soothing voice! ANYway, just after ordering this (hard copy) from Amazon, I'm so excited to read your work. :) This was such a wonderful video, things like this get me giddy. And your editing is superb!

    Klaire, I REALLY appreciate your videos. You're talented, skilled, devoted, but I'm in Australia so I can't read your book. I'm sure it's great, but with all these Outsider videos, no offense to you, I'm kind of clueless as to what it's all about, but it's still great fun watching your time lapses, and as a drawer, you are a true inspiration. :P

  • @shamaamahs

    This really inspires me to continue working on a solid storyline since I tend to stray away from my original ideas. Thank you for being so inspirational and the cover for your book looks stunning!!

  • @danielcobb4343
    @danielcobb4343 9 років тому

    I agree with you about what you said about how we're told not to judge a book by it's cover but it seems that it's relegated more towards people but people do tend to do that with books. I'm planning on making a book pretty soon, thank you this helps.

  • @willcookmakeup

  • @Bruna340
    @Bruna340 10 років тому

    I just ordered your book and it might take a while for it to get to my country, so it's safe to say that I will be spending a couple of weeks in pure agony while waiting for it. Keep theses videos coming, they are great. You are truly an artist in every sense of the word :)

  • @mercedestaylor4996
    @mercedestaylor4996 10 років тому

    I can't wait to get the book! Too excited :) I have to say I really admire all the ambition you have, I finished my first book about 6 months ago and have just been sitting on it. I feel like I could have done better and I'm not too thrilled by the story, or maybe I'm worried others won't be. You should do a video for aspiring writers on how to stay motivated and such! :)

    Dang girl. I wish I could do stuff like that! For my wattpad book, I was thinking about just taking a pic of myself and having the clothing and makeup done the way that the main character has, but I I have different eye and hair colors and unfortunately don't have the money to buy wigs or contacts. Luckily on the site they have people who can do the covers for free and the cover is fine for now :D

    Such an inspiration, Klaire! I've written my own book of short stories that I'm looking to get published but it's amazing to see people write full-length books, especially imaginative fictional universes. What was your writing process like? How did you push yourself over bumps, find the motivation to finish?

    No offense, but to have someone look over your manuscript for McGuffins and errors (in punctuation and comprehension) could help some with readability.

    Since I like you, I might volunteer.
