Julie Zee Author

I'm Julie, the author of the fantasy romance novels, A Curse in Ash and A Prophecy in Ash (books 1&2 of the In Ash series). If you are into polyamorous triads with magic, witches, Fae, high stakes and hot sex, you'll want to read these. Links for where to buy them at Julie Zee.com/books, my local indie Main Point Books, or any online retailer.

On this channel I share my love of books and my journey of writing, querying, and publishing my novels. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter and follow me on other accounts by visiting JulieZee.com/links.

Join my productivity sprints every Sunday night at 8pm EST right here on my channel.

And yes, I'm still hooked on horrible SyFy movies (Sharknado and Piranahconda), gummibears, and hot chocolate. They fuel me!

    I'm currently reading this book and it's really disturbing. I had to skip the abuse scenes. They were way too graphic then it was necessary. You could have faded to black and you would lose anything of the narrative. I worry that actual pedophiles will read that book and enjoy it. It is also very problematic that the abuse is framed by many characters as a love story and any characters who didn't were framed as being the villains.

    When I read it, that was what I took to be the point. When you see it through their eyes it's ALMOST like it's a healthy thing they both need, but from outside you're reminded how disturbing it is. It never leaves your mind that it's wrong, but Wavy needs someone in her corner so badly, and she grew up so fast, that you ALMOST start to root for her happiness however she may find it. There's no doubt it's a controversial, triggers, and deeply disturbing book.

    I have one take away from the Julie-less stream which is: is there another way for a penis to be, other than naked? I mean in order to see a penis, it must be unclothed, right? I'm devastated that I couldn't join live and ask Amber and Jess this question directly because every time they would talk about a "naked penis" I was shouting my question at the screen.

    I consider rejections as a victory. Anyone who has truly gotten to this point (written a book, edited it to death, and had the courage to send their child into the world) is a minority of people who are “going to write a book. Guys do the work and go for it. You never know what can happen. Dune (one of the most successful science fiction books of all time) was rejected and finally published by and editor at a car repair book company, Chilton, who could see what it was). Best of luck to all in our writing endeavors.

    I agree. I see so many people stop before the query stage, but for me, it's another milestone accomplishment in my writing career. With three books published, I'm still nervous querying the next one, but I'm so excited for it, too. It's important to remember it's not personal if you get a rejection and that all authors experience it. Thanks for the watch and thoughtful comment.

    I have to use notebook papaer and a three ring binder/dividers I can go back abd interject pages. If i write where there is space, it is crazy making. I also write old school wkth pen and lpaper. Iam old school..i also prefer the pen and paper because it taps into a parr of the brain a keyboard doesnt. It works a different part of the brain and i process it differently.

  • @PagesandPens
    @PagesandPens2 ай бұрын

    I absolutely understand. I always print out my first draft and do edits on paper so I get the other part of my brain working, too. But, for me, it's faster and easier to type out the first draft. I LOVE how many different methods there are for successful writing.
