Authortube Newbie Tag 2.0 || welcome to my writing nook!

Hi there, welcome to my writing nook! This is my first-ever authortube (or any-Tube) video, so I thought it would be fun to go through the Authortube Newbie Tag, created by Jenna Streety (link below!). Super exciting to join the writing community! Don't be shy - please say hi in the comments!

I’d love to hear about you! What brings you to authortube? If you write, what kind of writer are you? Any tips on how to get involved in the community and find ~writer folks~?

I actually know nothing about baseball, but I realized I used some terms not everyone might know! Here’s some links to some of my fave YouTubers defining things better than I can:

Hi! I’m Danica, and I’ll be posting content about writing/reading/living and documenting my writer's journey. Look for noveling vlogs, reading/writing challenges, learn-with-me investigations into story craft, and book reviews in future!

Danica, you seem super lovely and you are so refreshingly authentic! <3 I stumbled upon Authortube three days ago so I don't know if I can welcome you here, but I just do :P Welcome to Authortube! Looking forward to your upcoming videos! I'm from Germany and currently about to finish my first Children's Fantasy novel which I'm very excited about. Also I'm collaborating with one of my friends, we are writing two novels together simultaneously :) I'm excited to watch you on your writing journey and wish you a wonderful and creative summer! <3 :D

You are seriously giving me Light Academia vibe! It's always nice hearing how other started with writing. You are so fun to watch:)

brandon sanderson's lectures are also my favorites 😭 once you click on one of those, you can't stop 🤣 i even watched from other two channels they used to upload older lectures all the way back to 2016 💛 i don't even know how much i rewatched his lectures at this point. i would sometimes listen to it while doing house choirs since my brain flows when i'm doing choirs so it's even more helpful when listening to it while doing them so when im done with choirs i could just straight write/type about story ideas and related stuff. 💛

Great video. I’ve just started my own AuthorTube channel and am loving the newbie videos.x

[diablalyssa]

"Danica Gray" has such a nice ring to it, I can definitely hear someone saying "have you read the Danica Grey series?"

[igodgirl]

I'm so glad I found you're channel! It seems like we have a very similar writing style, so I'm really looking forward to more videos. And on a random note; you're very pretty and I love you're pen name!

[lifeworthreading]

I’ve been meaning to start writing again and always turn to authortube for the inspiration!! I really enjoyed watching this and can’t wait to keep following your journey! Congrats on creating your channel and best of luck ✨

[ShannonsChannel]

I love your term "Zero Draft"!

[nicolemarcinawrites]

Welcome to the Authortube family! :) I love your pitch and I'm not good with book pitches as well so you're not alone hehe :D can't wait to see your writing adventure :)

[JGVIllustrations]

Hi Danica! Nice to meet you :) Very excited to follow along on your writing journey <3

[annejia]

you're so adorable and relatable 😂 found you under ana neu's vid as the next reco vid 💛

[PhoenixG.H.D]

Welcome to AuthorTube! Love the nature background you have on your laptop! I join AuthorTube and CreatorTube to meet new people, make friends and help as many people as I can. I write Horror and Dark Fantasy. Just mostly do a search on AuthorTube Newbie tag or see if anyone is live and join the live chat or make a comment on their video.

[RiddleandSpark]

You have such a wonderful personality! You kind of remind me of a mix of Julia Stiles and Emma Stone (but obviously in your own unique way :) ) I'm looking forward to seeing more videos you post, I'm sure you'll have a lot of cool ideas!

[lydiawrites]

This is wild! I had the same progression into AuthorTube…Brandon Sanderson lectures and then Abbie Emmons (and Alexa Donne).

[AshleyMarieEgan]

I absolutely suck at book pitches too, but yours sounds pretty good! I started to write when I was really young as well, your story about it is really cute! Overall you have some really great answers and a lovely personality. I just joined the AuthorTube community myself, looking forward to potentially connecting and seeing more of your content. Wishing you the best of luck! ✨

[kaylughmanda]

Apparently we all sneak our way into answering questions from both! You are so charming to watch and your set up looks so professional. Looking forward to more!

[candice_soulcadencecoaching]

So good. Can’t wait to follow along on your journey! Welcome to YouTube and the author community.

[TK_Creative_Studio]

Same here Queen, After highschool I stopped writing and it wasn't until after Uni that i discovered authortube and really re-discovered my writing again!

[goodcleanfun.with.aubrierose]

Love it! I love the pitch for you and your book!

[ta_hernandez]

Hey there, I really enjoyed your video. You have such a fun personality that really comes through on camera. I think it's great that you are so passionate about learning to write well and are focused on that personal growth!
