If the necromancer does do any kind of osteomancy, you could have the crow bring them bones to put into their set. I collect found objects as well as bones in mine, so it's more of a scavengers divination and I feel like having a crow friend help me find things would have been great.
Why do I feel like Stig and Davaisha were roasting me in your headphones at 7:25???
probably because they were 😂
Dang I need Daviasha on speed dial to help brainstorm my project lol
I'm gonna need some wild snake-ratchin' pentacostal revival shenanigans them mountain pastors get wild with them there vipers lol
davaisha is truly the only reason I keep my brain on track and YES. them vipers are gettin' in the hen house 👀
loved this video :) so cool!
thank you!!
You know that is my FAVORITE of the royalty romances so I was eating that snippet up!!! Can't wait to read it in 2043 😂
you are my champion when it comes to them 😂 and heyyy, I'm not Stig! it'd probably be 2030 😂
Great vlog!
thank you!! 🥰
Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!! That excerpt!!!!!!!!!
🥰🥰🥰
My boxers lovvvvve those flying squirrels. We got the indoor one and Sierra will literally throw it up in the air for herself.
omg that's so cute!! I'll have to check out the indoor one because Blue is obsessed with them 🫡😂
I'm loving this series so much. I can't wait to put this book next to A Dark and Secret Magic on my bookshelf.
haha thank you! maybe one day 😂
doesn't matter if you're a one trick pony when your one trick is damn good.
aww thank you 🥹🥹🥹
not the past the present and the future as well😭 "She was a witch" is a great opening line hehe. Loved watching you fight with the whiteboard. "I don't feel like this is a good book" + "OK Katherine" was too funny.
I will always make a Dr. Facillier reference 😂 fighting with the whiteboard even though she is everything to me is very on brand I always know y'all will always reality check me 🫡
omg you got an agent, congratulations! She just loves to do iconic sh!t 😍
thank you! 💅
the sound of my own voice makes me want to projectile vom, but once again, loved this video! loved being a part of it! Can't wait to see the amazing moodboard i'm sure you'll put together. Chop, chop on the next episode. Project dumb gay girls for the win!
nooooo. should I add a voice modulator on you for the next episode? 😂 I couldn't do this without you helping me throw the spaghetti 🥹🥰 project dumb gay girls is everything!
"so we all know the story of the grinch" never watched or read it so I didn't know the story so I'm very happy to have consumed this literary analyzes and makeup tutorial.
always here to give the facts and analysis, even if it is about the fckin grinch
What if the angelic voice that's the prest is hearing is actually the family members who is deserving him with magic?
I love these videos!!! It’s very interesting and helpful to see the process so transparently, thank you✨ (Also, I want to read this book now)
you're so welcome! I love being able to share and help others with the writing process and transparency is the first step! (soon you probably will be able to!) 🥰
Me even before you mentioned the mines of Moria: kzread.info-keKHjFDBAs?si=awc9fMfiqPNgOcW0
Loved this video. The creative part of searching on Pinterest, making character profiles and creating playlists is I think the most fun! Besides actual writing, ofcourse ;) Plotting together with friends who undertstand your thought process is gold! I'm really looking forward to your next video.
thank you! It may seem like procrastination but it is a vital part for me! especially if I want the drafting part to be smooth sailing. and yes! It's my biggest tip to other writers; find people who understand you and are willing to just come up with random stuff and see what sticks! can't wait to bring it to y'all! 🥰
I am really loving this series Katie Ann! I am loving this project and the excitement you have for it! Can't wait to next week. Take care! ❤
thank you!! 🥰 can't wait to share more with y'all!
You're inspiring me soooo much for my novel
yayyy! I'm so glad!! ride that inspiration!! 🥰
I'm loving this series!!! The idea of the devil in the mountain in so cool! When you talked about the pastor maybe "hearing" angels I had an idea. What if the devil speaks with the pastor and the pastor thinks it's god or angels? And maybe it's the devil that suggests or makes the pastor work with the necromancer from the coven so that they can have more bodies to feed the devil. And the pastor can suggest to the people of the church and the city to have them bury their loved ones on a specific cemetery because it makes it easier for the necromancer to reanimate the bodies (maybe there's something in the area or about the place that makes their power stronger?). Also, what if the necromancer that works with the pastor was corrupted by the devil in the mountain? Anyways that's what I thought while watching the video. Super excited for the next episode and to see how you'll develop this story Katie!!!
Girl, I'm obsessed with this and you. These videos are honestly giving me so much inspiration and getting me pumped and excited to work on my own story (about a ghost hunter that gets possessed and loses about two weeks). Can't wait to see what else you have in store!
thank you! I'm so glad!!!! this is always my intention! 🥰
Every time I see you plotting on a white board I consider getting a bigger one. I can only use my mirrors for so long. Loving this series so far.
thank youu! and yes, I recommend getting a big white board! it is so helpful! she's my ride or die 😂
Love the idea of a world ending plot point being semi ignored in lieu of the romance, etc 🤣 it’s giving camp
Omg not ‘brain is going a million miles a minute’ the Wallis speak has infected you
the number one focus of this is ALWAYS camp 😂
What happens if you are allowed to put a certain old poker thing to mark the dead body to hold the new soul? Or a tattoo to allow another soul to host the dead body. That only dead people can help the evil soul in the mine to find its lost relic.
I'm in awe of your pinterest skills
thank youuu 🥰 I do my best
I love this! This already sounds so cool, the comp titles are 10/10. (Also to no one's surprise this did plant a new plot bunny in my brain... I guess I gotta drop everything and work on this brainrot)
thank youu! (omg I love a bit of brain rot and as someone dropping a lot of projects to work on this, I say go for it 😈)
Oh Katie Ann I loved this! I can't wait to see this whole journey play out. Also I know that you saw me not pre-ordering Wallis's book but it's only because I am not able to right this very moment lol. But I do plan on getting it because I can't wait to read it, as much as I can't wait to read yours once it is published. Looking forward to the next video. Take care of yourself! ❤
thank you! I can't wait to share every moment! (and that's totally fine! it's a jokey bit at this point 😂 take care of yourself first! 🥰🥰🥰 lots of love for you, JC!)
Loove using tarot as idea generation . So fun!!! ✨
it worked so well!! especially as just a jumping off point! 🥰
APALACHIAN NECOMANCER GHOST THRUPLE
YEP!! 🥰
Necromancy!!!! Also, I’m currently reading Evocation and loving it. Have you seen Hellraiser? Non-thrupple bringing a lover back from the dead. Do excited!!!
yes! I thought you'd like Evocation! It's a great book! 🥰 and I haven't! I'll have to add it to my list of things to look into as I brainstorm!
I'm very excited to see your process. I can't wait to see where this goes.
thank you! I can't wait to share it! 🥰
ooooh I loved being able to see your process, also I love how your process involves group-brainstorming 😂
yess! I'm a big advocate for group brainstorming! It just helps getting the creative energy buzzing! 🥰😂
I love the idea of documenting every part of the process for a story. Wish more people were transparent about their process and ideas. It was so fun brainstorming this and then seeing it all come together in video form. Can't wait to see what the next step in your process is.
me too! as we says, be the change we want to see in the world 😂 thank you for being my brainstorming partner, I couldn't do this without you 🥰
so excited to come along on this journey! I consider myself to be very open about my writing but I feel like this is a whole other level of being open
I know you didn't mention vampires or werewolves at all but it's giving Being Human to me (a show about a ghost, a vampire, and a werewolf all living together)
totally! I realized I couldn't do this with a project that I had already developed and become so attached to, so I was like, "huh, I'll just make something new!" lmao. and yes! I had that thought later too! I loved that show! 🥰
haha when you said the plot of one of Wallis's books, I laughed out loud. I feel like I can't read while I'm writing because I'm so terrified that I'll accidentally steal an idea from what I'm reading so I totally feel that.
no literallyyyy!! 😂 I hadn't even remembered and then I was like...whoops! My bad!
At some point in high school. Every idea I had just became mlm. I mean. I was going through shit so. Can’t really be surprised. And then for a hot second I was just changing everything to wlw bc I felt bad. But I think I’m calmer ab it now. And i realized, in doing all of that, gender doesn’t really matter to the story (surprise surprise). So I just let things be. And, regardless of gender, the main couples (most couples) will be gay, in some way. Or queer, in a generalizing way. Across the whole spectrum, anything and everything. Bc I am very gay. I want what I write, to be very gay. I also. I will talk to myself ab HOW gay my books are. Which are the least, most commercially marketable gay. You know. Like I should focus on this book bc stand-alone and gay is not too obvious. Things like that. Those conversations have been going on since I fully decided I’m going to write books, and that I want them published. So. Yeah. Some relatable points in this video.
i'm super out of my writing groove too. Definitely need to make some time.
I’m soooo behind on videos 😅 but this was super fun ❤ great video and LOVE the hair
The lack of confidence hits us all, sometimes. You've got this!
OMG IS THAT A NEW COMPUTER???
haha no, I use a tv as my second monitor!
U had me excited for you now im not!! Make sure to remember any lies you ever told and to share food with the homeless and never lie reverse all lies ever told its very important for you and make sure to be a food servant to the poor in person
I can assure you that all authors, no matter how successful, struggle with confidence. You are not alone. ❤
"no free feet content... anymore" is iconic tbh
If people want feet, they gotta pay 😈 I’m just diversifying my income streams 😂
hell yeah!
🥰🤪
also obsessed with BOTH projects moodboards!! now I wanna try this experiment too :D if only I didn't have a day job lol maybe I can do "lunch time 30 min" vs "evening 30 min" instead
thank you!! yes! That would be a good modification! I’d love to watch you try it 👀😉😜
i'm feeling so in sync with you now we both just did a writing experiment :D
omg we’re thousands of miles apart but spiritually we’re astral projecting into each others minds 🥹🥰
@@writerofscribbles I love that 🥰
i love these videos!! im so anxious waiting for my offer of rep i can't stop watching these right now. I'm obsessed lmao. i currently have 6 fulls out, (i already had 4 full rejections last year on an earlier draft of the MS but one resulted in an r&r so I'm querying that new MS now!) i am very confident with the new MS and my request rate but its been over a year of querying and i have to admit i thought it would take like 3 months LOL and i was very wrong about that so... its just nerve-wracking! congratulations!!!!!! i love seeing other people succeed from the trenches. i'm not a part of a writing/querying community online so i def need to get on that PS your book sounds amazing! i'm happy it's sapphic now, cuz i will read that lol
omg you're not alone in being obsessed with getting agent videos! I love them too! congratulations on so many fulls and an R&R!! that's an incredible achievement on its own! your time will come 🥰 I've got all my fingers and toes crossed that your offer of rep pops up in your inbox! and totallyyyy! I really thought I'd be a unicorn with my first book and I was sorely mistaken 😂 but it's all a learning process! I definitely recommend finding a community you jive well with! I run a writing discord with some friends if you'd like to take a gander! discord.gg/SMPsQuDv absolutely no pressure at all to join or participate! but I thought I'd offer! and thank you! one day I'll be able to share it! 🥰
