I've recommended Shaelin to writers, too. Love her videos! :)

Here for the replay bc I couldn't make it live. Wow, you worked in veterinary medicine? Lynn, that's wonderful! You are going to do well in grad school & be an amazing teacher! Oh, and I think the Ghibli guy is leaning on a barely visible fence... and looking at the horizon? He kind of looks like he could be twerking, though. 😂😭💀 And I totally agree with Kris on AI "writing"; that video was really good. Her video was organized & she was thorough in her communication but also succinct! 🩷

I am watching the replay 🎉

this book sounds so fun, Lynn 👀 i'm so jealous that you have an easy time with synopses, I find them so challenging!

The fear of the unknown is what gets me, such as Thalassophobia. For me nothing is more terrifying than being stranded in a black, blue ocean in the dead of night and unable see the horrors that are beneath you.

It was like 2am here when this live started. Omg i had no idea. I would have watched it live

Traveled abroad in Costa Rica during my senior year of high school, definitely the highlight of my high school career! ¡Pura vida!

Delinquent is kind of similar to the Incredibles

Sounds cool. Good luck. Have fun!!

hi lynn! i'm an intermediate writer and i love how you work with your stories! i enjoyed watching your videos and i was able to learn some stuff on creating a fantasy story. it was one of the genres that was hard for me to make (esp planning out magic system, worldbuilding, politics, etc) and i was hoping i could make a first ever fantasy story!

Thank you so much for bringing up Palestine. Palestine is one of my life's great loves, and the people I know there and from there are some of the best I've ever known. They don't deserve what's happening. No one does. 💔♥️🇵🇸🍉

I’m so excited to hear more about Project Crypts! I love reading gothic fantasy! It’s so exciting to work on something new after working on another project (in your case, MOTHS) for so long! I’m looking forward to hearing more about it! Good luck with your Masters program! I hope we get to see more of your campus, too. 🥰 Are you also planning on querying MOTHS soon? 👀 I’m excited for you! 🥳

Plenty of great people listed. I need more diversity in my authortube watch lists.

THE CLARIFICATION NEEDED AT THE BEGINNING 😭😭😭

I set up a book planner in Notion and started a little research on the replay! I love how productive I can be when I'm being held 'accountable'. These lives are heaven for my ADHD. 😅

Can’t wait to read this ahh!!

Would you consider Tolkien's prose to be "purple prose?"

New follower but I love your videos! You seem like such a driven and aesthetic person. Can't wait for your live edit video!

I got some challenging edits done during the replay. Thanks for doing these, the timing is amazing because I'll be done with the edits on my current project probably the end of June, and when you start your weekly streams in July I'll be working on a new novel I'm excited about!

Hello!! YOUR VIDS ARE AMAZING💕any tips for making author/booktube youtube videos? Im a upcoming indie author trying to first build a community on youtube!!

8:40 You could try looking into how religions are generally built with a mass appeal (public aspect) and an initiate side to them (secret/mystery/mystic aspect)

I'm still new here (and catching up on your Moths vlogs 😅), so imagine my surprise to find out you're starting a new project 🙌🏾 Your process sounds entirely doable - All the best with this new WIP! 💜

You have NEVER given me useless information!

You better buy a dehumidifier.

I've never really read anything gothic before but project crypts sounds so cool!!! Your videos always get me out of my procrastination <3

I loved this vlog! So calming and so fun to listen to you talk through religion building and this new project!! Everything you’re trying to pull through in this project from your research sounds so amazing - can’t wait to follow along! 💗

Looking forward to hearing more about Project Crypts! Also, I'm definitely going to be trying that new Merit shade!

Oooh i also love the vibe of ghost like things... i tend to write about hauntings in the way that memories haunt characters, i just gravitate to the brain doing weird things sometimes LOL

Honestly really helpful because I feel so stuck in my opening.

The starting and stopping projects thing is so relatable. I've started and shelved 5-6 projects/ideas in the past month because they either got too big, needed too many fixes to make them work, or I felt like I couldn't do them justice yet with where my writing skill is.

A Crimson Peak-style gothic thriller with renaissance politics? To my complete lack of surprise, you have me hooked. Religions typically begin as niche and esoteric ... and then they gain power and the problems happen. For worldbuilding, I wouldn't worry about the religion itself having logic, as long as you give logic to the progression of society's treatment of it. That was a nice garden you found. Sorry you had to cross paths with a rabbit though. At least there was some distance and at least it chose the opposite direction. Any time a rabbit comes at me, I run like hell.

YAYYY Project crypts!!!! i've been so excited to hear you chat about this ever since i saw your moodboards for it hehehe :D it's gonna be so iconic omg.

omg I love ghosts too my book also have to do with ghosts

Interesting! Best of luck with grad school, and in the meantime, happy writing! ❤ ⌨️

I am so excited for this you really inspire me, and your videos on how to write horror really helped me ❤ Thanks, Lynn 😊

As someone who is currently working on a dual-POV project, I do not blame you one bit for dropping that idea. In many ways,. writing like that can feel like such a masochistic venture. But I'd argue that I'm a bit of a masochistic writer myself, so perhaps writing in such a way is the only way that I can feel fulfillment as a writer (cries.)_ Although, there is a part of me that wonders if writing your story with one, singular POV might actually be the harder option in the long run. Since you did mention that you want things to get super complicated with the politics and have everyone's lives fall apart by the end, having those extra perspectives can add to that effect. And, at least for television anyway, that does seem to be the norm. Of course, novels are a completely different medium in that regard.

This thumbnail Lynn?!?!! AHHH! So pretty!!

Not sure if you mentioned it, but are you doing your masters in relation to your undergrad degree in I think zoology or is it a different field?

oh god outlines/planning/research saves lives! i've come to love the slowcooking process. also! project crypt sounds FANTASTIC like exactly the sort of book i'd pick off a bookshelf after having read that premise. excited to follow this series!! :)

Would be interested to see a video about writing a (pre-draft) synopsis

I love watching the slice of life montages :)) I find the Renaissance period so fascinating and I love the exploration of politics and romance and YEARNING. I can't wait to read CRYPTS <3

literally started jumping from excitement 😆

every time I learn someone's writing a gothic fantasy book I get so excited!

oml the paper menagerie was heartbreaking and gorgeous

This is remarkable content and it has all round helped me develop the romance for my novel where I had been having issues because I'm not the most comfortable with actually writing the romance part of my romance novels. Thanks a lot for the notes.

Am i the only one who wanted Aurora to succeed in her plan? Like your fiance cheats on you with ur best friend and both are talking about getting married behind your back? OHHHHH I would be hot.

I’m really late to this video, but this advice is great! My main WIP is a Primary World fantasy that draws from essentially every culture’s mythology (though not all of them are explicitly mentioned, it’s stated that all forms of magic are ‘canon’). I really want one of my characters to have connections to Japanese mythology and history, particularly relating to dragons and divination. How would I go about finding sources and dealing with this in a semi-accurate and culturally sensitive way?
