I am a teenager who has had a dream of being an author since I was like 10 years old and this was very inspirational. It's been over a year since I started working on my book and I've almost given up many times, but I always come back to the story it is like a part of me now. To anyone who is reading this, don't give up on your dreams!!!
Seriously, I love the commitment to no spice. Currently outlining a cozy no spice fae fantasy ROMANCE because there are so many fae books in the world but they all got the spice in them. I want a spice-free fae book. And if you can't find it, you make it yourself
I hope I can read it someday! I’m currently on this mission of “if you can’t find it, make it yourself” and the no spice commitment as well. Working on a spy themed trilogy😊
@@kassandra0 I'd be down to exchange emails if you wanted! Become accountability buddies or exchange partners! (I am about to start another round of college classes so my fae book won't be started until January just an fyi😅)
"Congratulations, you found a way to cheat at puzzles" I am quoting that from now on and you can't stop me (except the puzzles, the puzzles is flexible)
I don’t know if it means a real puzzle or like a test kinda puzzle cuz I’m imagining the real game and they’re all just huddled around a table and one says “congradualations you found a way to cheat at puzzles” in the most bored tone ever and the other one like “HECK YEAH I DID!!!” *flips table* “WHOOOOOOOOO” And I don’t know why 😭
I literally can not wait to read your book next summer! I am soooo glad it won’t have spice cause I don’t like reading that kind of stuff! I love your content so much!!! I am writing a book rn too actually!
I just started writing my own book and I'm only 10 pages in but I hope to become like you and publish it in the future!! you inspired me to start a book 🫶🏻!
As a young writer with a true love for fantasy, thank you fr because learning different magic systems and why they exist in that way is really helpful 😭😭 My book is called “The daughter of the Sibyl and Seer” and it really helps 🙏🏼🙏🏼😭😭
OMG! I remember your first video about this book, I am also writing a book that I started when I was fourteen, less fantasy, and a little swearing, but still, the previous video about your inspiration for this subconsciously helped me start so thanks.
I clicked this video because i am in a similar situation with writing a book and hopefully self-publishing, and can i just say, i love that you've not included spice. I have the exact same views when it comes to what kind of content i want to make, (especially with keeping YA clean, like its targeted to minors and as one myself i find it so irritating that so many books are "YA" but have adult content, like keep that in your own age group, we dont need that right now) and with having 6 younger siblings i really appreciate the commitment to clean content, and the more i watched the video the more i was inpressed with your commitment to the story as a whole. The way you smiled the whole time when talking about your plot and characters, its obvious how much you love them. Im so glad your getting to publish your book and i hope everything goes well! ❤ (Romans 12:12)
I really liked the little introduction to the book. I can't wait for it to come out to read it. I love the topics and the way it is explained. I like your vision. how you want it to be. I'm so excited😊 I send you lots of love from Argentina❤. I'm sorry if there is something that is not understood. It's because I don't know much English, so I use the translator.😅 greetings 🤗
I used to be such a big reader I used to be able to read books that had 1000+ pages in a day or so but haven't felt the urge to read an actual new hands on book in years but your book is genuinely sparking that fire in me again and your book seems the perfect one to ease me back into it and I love your enthusiasm for your series
This is your first video of yours I've seen and I'm so happy to hear about a ya author actually writing age appropriate fiction! I am definitely interested in picking this up for myself and future children. Also the premise of your story sounds really cool! And I appreciate how it seems like you're using pov deliberately and not just forcing a consistent rotation whether or not it serves the plot. Also how does one just get the editor for Suzanne Collins?! I didn't know she did freelance! I got to be honest that does make me anticipate your book will be quality.
Ah!! Glad to have you here! I'm glad you like 3rd person, I do too 😆 And yes! There's a veryyyy fluid changing of POVs. It really only changes to whatever character would best narrate that part 😌 And yeah!! Funny how those things work 🤣
this is the first video i've ever seen of you but i just wanted to say thank you. for creating something you're so passionate about and something that will definitely become a life-changer for someone else, the same way these books (Percy Jackson for me, lol) were for us. i've been struggling a lot lately and something about this video really pushed me to write. so, again, thank you! can't wait to read this
I'm already writing my book at the age of 14 and I just started last week and I'm already halfway done. It's planned to be at least 100 pages long. It's going to be the first book I've ever written and I plan to publish it before December. So I'm grinding hard and fast. Also my book is first person and limited and the genre is cosmic horror.
@@beckleavesley you have inspired me so much to write since you started this channel, I am a young writer and have been dreaming to become an author since I was 11. So thank you ❤
I'm genuinely so excited for your book and I have lots of high hopes for this series can't wait until it releases and I'm hopefully gonna watch you journey through this
Huh I've actually wrote a Sci-fi western and I'm currently in the middle of Agent purgatory which is long and brain-wracking. I hope your book is a success and I've heard of your editor, trust me you're in good hands.
Ngl, I'm glad that itll be without spice and without romance as the main force. I feel like were getting less and less of those, with romantasies and spicy books being on the rise which i (as an aroace person) just dont enjoy. Im looking forward to learning more about your book and wishing you the best of luck with self publishing!
I love how excited and cheerful you are! you literally match my personality, I'm a writer too and sometimes watching other writers make me more motivated to keep writing and finally I found you 😭❤ PS : your personality is similar to Emma Chamberlain
UA-cam just randomly recommended this to me and oh boy am I excited for this book now 😭 Especially when you mentioned it being limited, having multiple pov’s and HAVING NO SPICE 🙌 YUEAAA (I keep looking up books that I would like but without spice and it somehow is very difficult to find… SO I’M HAPPY I FOUND SOMETHING WITHOUT IT HEHEHE)
I love how you’re committing to making sure it’s family friendly, I personally don’t like books that have spice. I was wondering if you’ve already written some of other books or only the first? I’d love to be an author someday and this something I’m curious about.
@@Shrimp-q4c Thank you for your lovely comment, I'm glad you're looking forward to my book!! As for the series, I've written three so far! (The first comes out Summer 2025)
I'm too lazy to edit my original comment xD But gawd why are all book ideas (for example your magic system) so cool? Like I listen to you and I feel bad bc I can't cone up with good ideas :-: Well anyway xD I def can see why the editor liked your book :D
I’m physically waiting on standby for this book! I’m so excited! As a younger person that has started writing a book, you are one of my biggest inspirations! Also, BYU!!!!??? Are you religious?(LDS?)
What would your advice be to someone who has a great idea for their book and knows most of what the story is doing to be but is having trouble developing the magic of the world and how the beginning is going to get to the end? (This is me by the way 😂)
My respect to you has increased since we already live in a spice driven world movies tv shows games etc,and you refusing to include any makes it so admireable and honorable since it just becomes so tiresome and feels kinda shoved into our face. am by no mean a teenager, but i genuinely wish you all the best through this journey and i really hope your book successed and if i could i would buy your book, even tho its for a younger audience 😅
Honestly, I'd love for it to be translated into tons of languages, but it'll just release in English for now. I'm always open to more editions down the road!
YOU WRITE MUSIC? YOU DRAW? WHY ARE YOU ME? AND YOU WRITE? HOW ARE YOU ME BUT BETTER? *cries in I never finish my stories or I try to make short stories and then make them way too long*
You sound like Viyaura, has "delusional" in the title, and uses the same sound in the recent videos, but it won't make any sense that you're her, because she's not a fan of writing😭❤
I never ask people this question, but why self pub? Your taking a gap year, your committing to the goal of publishing a book already written it sounds like, but taking (Arguably) the easy route. Why sell yourself short?... I know someone might take what I said the wong way, but there's no other way to say it. So what's your reasoning?
@@klArrow405 Thanks for the correction, I might have been distracted on that part. However now having heard the supposed "Reasoning," I would like for Beck to clarify a few things still. Because publishers literally will not turn family friendly books, into non family friendly books. That's largely a copout, and not how that works. Not to mention the chances they pick up an already established series is quite frankly unheard of. Lastly, you said YA, but it sounds more like you're writing MA. Everything you said points to MA, so I'm genuinely wanting to know your train of thought. It seems quite unorthodox. Most people just don't skip traditional right at the start.
I'm a tween, and I'm working on my debut novel which cureently has 27k, and im hoping to finish the first draft in NaNoWriMo, and hoping to get the book published before May of next year. I'm also hoping to build my channel, so i can advertise it! If you guys have types about NaNoWriMo, getting an editor or advertising, pls let me know!
