AuthorTube Newbie Tag 2.0 | Introduction to AuthorTube

For my entrance to AuthorTube I wanted to answer the questions for the AuthorTube Newbie Tag 2.0. Hopefully this will let you learn a little bit about me, my writing journey, and why I'm here!

Welcome to the Authortube community 💓 we have a wonderful and supportive group here! Best of luck with all your writing.

Welcome to the community!! I think it's hard to interact on Twitter, too. I've decided that after I finish my soft-selling of my debut novel that I'll probably not go back to Twitter often.

I understand how it's hard to write with a family and other responsibilities.

I'm still trying to balance my journey on YouTube while trying to launch my debut novel. I think picking what you will do by the day might help - at least I'm trying that, so like at the beginning of the week, I will say okay, on Monday and Tuesday, I will work on writing/marketing (more marketing right now), Wednesday I will catch up on other Authortubers and figure out social media posts, Thursday I will write scripts for future videos, Fridays I film future videos and start editing next video, Saturday morning I do writing sprints with my writing group, Saturday evening I finish editing, and Sunday I break for half a day and the rest catch up on other stuff. Sometimes the week works like that or I shake it up a bit. And other times, I have family stuff that interrupts it all, but I move forward.

I'm still a bit new to Authortube myself, but I've been exposed to a positive community so far, so here's to us growing on here!

[RunningWrite]

So glad I found your channel! Welcome to the community and good luck with fulfilling your dreams.

Hi! Welcome! I agree, YouTube is the best place to feel like someone is writing "with" you, it's just more personal than Twitter and Instagram. I'm so curious for how you juggle 4 POVs, that is definitely far beyond my capabilities lol.
The reason that I started my Authortube channel was also because I like the thought of documenting my journey. I also know that the community here will help keep me accountable to my goals!

I finally found your channel! Yay! Just subbed to you! I am your 117 th subscriber! Looking forward to cheering you on and watching you grow as a channel and writer! Welcome and a hug to you from the community! What a great start to the blurb! May you find your tribe and may your writer's dreams come true! Looking forward to seeing you around in the community!

hello fellow mommy writer! welcome to the authortube family! ☺️

[readerturnedwriter]

Welcome to authortube! I love learning here as well 😊 how old are your kids? You are very busy! I can't wait to see more content from you!

[sometimesinovel]

Hello fellow newbie! I love this video! I completely understand wanting to be able to look back in the future to see the videos that you create. Good luck with trad publishing! Can't wait to see your world-building videos!

[evangelineparry]

Hello! Welcome to Authortube! I write fantasy too 😁 I'm the same when it comes to publishing! There are so many enticing elements to self publishing, but apparently you have to be business minded to do it successfully, which I am not 😂 I'm excited for your world building videos, I'm conceptualising my first high fantasy book at the moment, normally I stick to just low fantasy, so I'm defo looking for some world building advice haha! 😊 I recently joined authortube too, so I hope we can connect! I look forward to your future videos 🤣

Welcome to AuthorTube! I'm excited to be an early subscriber and here to cheer you on as you grow your channel.
I love YT as a long form content platform.
Love your working blurb! I'm dying to learn more. I love fantasy, and although I write for kid lit, I love adult fantasy stories to refill me well.
The authortube community is great and really supportive. I also agree that it is great as video diary of our writing journey.
Excited to see your drawings and mapmaking and your world building video!
I'm excited to get to know you better through your content and if you ever need anything or want to collab in some don't hesitate to reach out. My email is in the ABOUT section of my channel page.
