📖✨welcome back to my channel! ✨📖
hi! I'm Esmie, author of the Sunday Times Bestselling space fantasy book THE PRINCIPLE OF MOMENTS, which is best described as Treasure Planet meets Atlantis with a lot more romance ;)
TIMESTAMPS:
0:53 - 3:02 *oh, where have I been? suffering in the trenches* x
3:03 - 6:11 updates on my work in progress, edits, using the manuscript as kindling etc.
6:13 - 8:25 moving out, *how do I afford things* , how much of my income is writing.
8:25 - 14:05 part time job, *I LOVE having a payday again* , financial stability as a creative when there’s no one coming to save you…
14:14 - 18:30 DAY 1 *writing marathon, writing complex female relationships* , I loved WICKED!!
18:31 - 21:30 DAY 2, writing with friends, *working at the cinema* , reading *Robin Hobb* (and OBSESSING over it!!)
21:31 - 30:13 DAY 3 writing all day, *chatting about ‘the gap’ between taste and ability, working at the cinema* , exposing my Spotify wrapped (immediate regret thank you Stephen Sondheim)
30:14 - 35:47 DAY 4 I’m ill, chatting about *burnout* , and importantly, *how to know that you’ve done the best you could*, success & failure.
35:48 - 36:32 DAY 5 - relaxing *self-care Sunday* & Goodbye!
*How are you guys??* What has everyone been up to writing wise? Any life updates? Any New Year's resolutions? A few of mine, are to update YouTube more frequently, sell a new book (PLSSS), and take care of myself before I get ill, instead of after it happens...
*It feels so good to be back, guys.* I talk about *a lot* in this video, so bear with my monologuing... but so much has happened since I last uploaded a video, I wanted to get it all out in the open.
*From moving flat, to nearing the end of my (hopefully!!!) last round of edits before submission of my new fantasy, to starting a new Robin Hobb series (SO GOOD), to getting a part-time job, to getting sick and feeling close to burnout, this is everything that has happened in the last few months! I hope you guys like this vlog, thank you so much for waiting!*
(Also - I'm sorry for being vague about the bad news I received from my publisher, but I'm not sure what I can say right now except that it's to do with the pub date of my sequel.)
