hello! in this slightly different installment of the project moths writing vlog series, i sent the first two acts of my unfinished book to three friends... here are their responses.
i'd love to go a little deeper into how i approach feedback and apply it during the revisions stage, so let me know if that'd be interesting to you!
thank you for watching :)

It's so fun to watch these vlogs because they're so inspiring. I get sudden motivation outbursts to complete my book whenever I'm watching them 😭 + these are relatable in a way ✨

@lynndjung 3 месяца назад

aw that is my absolute favorite thing to hear about these vlogs!! good luck with finishing your book :)

@CobblewobblesYT 3 месяца назад

I never understood people being like "oh, but they're your friends, how can you trust them to give honest feedback". If you're really friends, they'll be honest about your work, because that honesty is super valuable for improving that work. Super happy, you're surrounded by people you can trust in that regard, because it's an invaluable resource to have! Also genuinely love the vibe this wip is giving off. You've got this!

@lynndjung 3 месяца назад

I agree!! I definitely trust my friends more than strangers tbh. Thank you so much!!

8:20 this is so true I wish there was more complex female main characters in books!!

@lynndjung 3 месяца назад

These vlogs literally inspired me to make a RU-vid series about my story project.changeling 😭 it’s not up yet but it should by Tuesday

This feels like such a bittersweet video! I will miss all your footage of Thailand and the way you shared that with us. It’s been so lovely! The cat cafe! 😻 Oh, my heart about missing your students! 😭 I wish you the best of luck with your multiple transitions (going back to the States, starting your Masters program, and finishing MOTHS). That’s a lot for anyone, but also very exciting! I’m so intrigued by MOTHS and I’m glad you got such wonderful feedback from all your beta readers. I will be going through some of my beta reader/critique partner feedback of my PhD dissertation novel (Adult contemporary fantasy) this month (haven’t looked at it since I turned it in in August) and I’m doing exactly what you are. Just seeing where more people comment on certain areas and I think I have an idea of what needs to be revised also. This will be my 4th draft. Getting ready to query between April and June (June at the latest hopefully). 🤞 I LOVE contemporary fantasy and Lark sounds like such an intriguing character as well as all the worldbuilding you have. And the alchemy. I am captivated! 😍 It’s interesting what you said about alchemy and its real world applications. I’m also drafting a YA horror novel that has to do with parapsychology, which is an actual academic discipline that people can study. It’s so fascinating.

@lynndjung 3 месяца назад

Aw I'm so touched that you enjoyed the bits I shared of my life in Thailand!! Thank you very much, it's going to be so busy. Ahh, good luck with your own feedback, and with querying-that's so so exciting!! And thank you for your kind words about Moths

@briellewrites 3 месяца назад

Lynn!!!!! This was so interesting, I loved getting to see your reactions to the feedback, why was I nervous right along with you?? lol 🫠 definitely making me both nervous and excited for the beta reading stage of my project lol. hope I get to read this project one day it sounds so lovely :’) ❤

@lynndjung 3 месяца назад

Ahhh thank you so much!! Ikr there is nothing quite like someone reading your work and all of that vulnerability haha. I'd love to beta read for you/do a writing swap at any point if you're okay with that btw!!

@briellewrites 3 месяца назад

@@lynndjung ahhh I would love that!!! Yes yes!! 🫶🏼

I have aphantasia too and my therapist read some of my work and said my work was descriptive and then I told her I have aphantasia and add description in editing because of that, we were both shocked lol. I was shocked to hear my writing described as vivid.

@lynndjung 3 месяца назад

lol I love to hear that other writers with aphantasia have been able to overcome those assumptions!!

@emmspeon 3 месяца назад

i have been watching your videos and i get so inspired!! it helps me a lot with my own novel! Thanks for great content ♡

@lynndjung 3 месяца назад

thank you for watching, I'm so glad theses videos are helping you out!! good luck with your book :)

@WishyFishiey 3 месяца назад

I literally love watching your vlogs, they are so silly and relatable!!

@lynndjung 3 месяца назад

thank you!!

@moving2saturn 3 месяца назад

this is a very interesting video, mainly because i have zero friends that read, so they would never give me proper fb (my anxiety would never let me send it anyways, lol), and also since you're getting different fb, and finally, i absolutely love the moth vids!! thanks for posting 🤍

@lynndjung 3 месяца назад

if you're ever looking for someone to read your work, i definitely recommend checking out some of the amazing online communities! thank you for watching :)

Ooooh, there's so much to comment on here, but I'm going to try to limit myself from writing War & Peace in the comments once again (Even though I'll end up doing it anyway.) "Good person is a fake concept." I love these vlogs because I always get to hear some very interesting quotes. Although, fundamentally, I do agree with what you're saying here. I find that it's often the people who think themselves incapable of falling for something that are the most likely to fall for it. And also, I think in recent years, people have been kind of (over)-obsessing over "reading with their morals," so I find that a lot of people just can't handle flawed/slightly problematic characters anymore, which is sad. Not everyone can be Captain America. We need our Walter Whites, too. It's what makes media so complex and interesting. It's always fun to get a deep analysis of your own work. Honestly, that's what I live for. I dream of someone in like, 20-30 years doing an hour long video analysis of something that I wrote. And if I get the chance to see that, it might just bring a tear to my eye. Haha

@lynndjung 3 месяца назад

Breaking Bad is one of my all-time favorite shows, you're absolutely right in that fiction is made variable and interesting by an array of characters who reflect our worst and best traits! Deep analysis is the best, I hope you get the experience that hour-long video essay someday!
