Hello from South Africa, Thank You for your helpful videos. I've written the text of my 1st book and came here to see what I can improve before illustrations. Your insights are gold ✨🙌🏾 I've subscribed ♥️🙏🏾
This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear! You explained exactly how my stories come to me. I can't explain it but it comes and I just write and write. Some days images come to me and I just quickly create thumbnails. Sometimes I just create thumbnails based on lyrics from a song that just interest me out of nowhere. It's weird. I was always on reddit or quora trying to find what this was called(this type of writing and illustration vivid stories were coming from lol) Anyway I am writing am thinking its best if i create series with my stories. Its something I can start out with when I self publish hehe Anyway I am just happy I found this videos :) Thank you and I look forward to learning more from you :) Kia Ora from NZ - Marie
Also, with my adhd I feel like I need to accept my abilities because im sure this is where all my stories are coming from somehow because my brain and thoughts are always busy I cant keep up with it sometimes lol I will see how i go with my series and hope i can share it online when theyre ready hehe bye for now.
@@JulesMarriner Thanks for getting back Jules. I look forward to this journey and hope to see some results in the coming years. Hopefully soon :) Take care and bye for now.
Thank you very much for your videos, they're so calming and heartwarming, great content. I'm watching your videos from South Africa 🇿🇦. What do you normally do when you have ideas in just pictures but fail to write them down?
Hi Lerato, thank you for your lovely message. If I haven't written it down, I will either forget it (arg!) or I need to make a big effort to remember, using a sort of mind palace. So, if I was out, and had an idea about a dog losing his ball, I might imagine my front door and associate it with a dog, ie the dog sitting on the doorstep, and when I open the door, the ball is just inside my house. Then, with any luck, when I actually get home and put the key to the door, I will remember the dog and the ball, and then go and write it down. Hope that helps :)
I would like to write a kids story inspired by the show Fraggle Rock, i used to watch it as a kid. But I don’t know how to do that without seeming like I’m copying it😬 I just like the idea of there being a world with small creatures right next to ours☺️✨
Hi Jules.....hope you're ok....just watching your 'where to get book ideas from' ( yes, l still haven't put pen/pencil to paper!!!!! WHY,WHY,WHY????) and l wondered do you still self publish? Just a thought......l'm good at thinking, but that's not good enough is it.. Mmm.....must get on....
It’s 50/50 at the moment. If you can get a publishing contract, it can be easier in some respects, but self publishing gives you a huge learning opportunity.
I just met you but I love you, Jules
My first Children's story book was published on Amazon a few days back. Thanks to you. Your videos have been very helpful to me.
congratulations!👏any sales yet?
Nanu, nanu... lol! The great Mork from Ork... Robin we miss you...
So do I! He was such a lovely man
Thank you lovely stories about your stories☺️
The idea of Wally and Bert explains why dogs always chase their tail. Watching this video gave me so many ideas for children's books lol
I know! My dog definitely doesn't know it's part of him. 😆

Very wise! Acceptance of ourself is the first step on the road to creativity. So glad you found this channel and it speaks to you :)

Full of ideas here. Not sure what to do with them...
Thank you for your all your videos they help me to be inspired to write again.
