10 Years of the Black Raven - A Retrospective 

I had no idea you are a published writer. Super cool stuff. I really enjoy your channel. I find comfort in it. I often struggle with anxiety. Your stuff helps calm those very dangerous waters my mind is trying to navigate. Thanks for the vids man. I suspect I will soon be exploring this mountain of daggers. Keep the great work.

I just got a copy of Mountain of Daggers and I absolutely love it. You are a superb writer, Seth.

Sea of Quills sounds like sequels, was that intentional?

I can do a good Australian accent XD.

As a wannabe writer, I am really inspired by you getting your stories published (and, frankly, a little bit jealous!). Any tips for an aspiring author? Keep up the good work!

OH MY GOD YOU'RE THE AUTHOR OF MOUNTAINS OF DAGGERS. WHATTTT. I've been watching this channel for a few weeks now and never put 2 and 2 together.

The story of your publishing journey has been very interesting. Thanks!

Well done - Laotse said: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. All the best from Germany. I love heist stories and will have a look at the Black Raven...

I know that I'm a few days late on this, but I've just finished listening to Damoren about a week ago. I wasn't sure that I was going to like the story, but I've really enjoyed your content on this platform and I wanted to give it a shake. As soon as I can I will be picking up the rest of the Valducan series. They are amazing, and I love how you work the lore of the world in. I know very small bits and pieces of the lore of the various monsters described in the books, but it seems like you've taken those details and made them work for your world. Thank you for your work in creating these stories and for your content here as well.

Thank you Seth for inspiring me to pursue writing a story about a homeless monster hunter, i hope to see my work complete one day

Great seeing the advancement of cover art between the different covers.

Congrats on the Anniversary.

I just got home from the hospital. The operation to remove the malignant growth from my kidney was a success. The surgeon says it doesn't look like it spread beyond my kidney. A pathologist will examine the growth to see if has spread or not. I am now reading Sea of Quills. I loved Temptation's Proposal and am now beginning Treasure of Bogen Helm. It's just as good as Seth's first collection.

Just a thought. But the summary of your thoughts of the Black Ravens journey. Those thoughts and feelings would be good themes for your next Black Raven story ☺️

Wow, the behind the scenes of writing and publishing is quite fascinating. Thank you for sharing your experience. A truly inspiring journey you have had :-)

Congratulations Seth! Very happy for you and wish you continued success. Love your RU-vid channel too. Thanks for all you do!

so when's the RPG setting for Black Raven going to happen the world seems very intresting

Wow you went to a legit fancy dress (costume) party that's awesome! I've always wanted to go to Italy, it looks so beautiful and I have a real fascination with the art & history.

If by you're not a voice actor you mean you can't do accents and different characters - I get that. But your normal voice on this channel is quite nice to listen to. I enjoy throwing your videos on in the background while I'm playing/working.

Interesting you don't have an agent as such

I love your channel I'm looking forward to reading your stories.

As someone who has just entered the phase of finding an agent/publisher I really appreciate your story. Thanks for sharing.

Two years and change late, but congratulations.

On behalf of all of us (Limited) Wish to be published, a very sincere Congrats! ( Forgive the D&D nod ) No, really, congratulations!

Just finished reading this book the other day and truly loved it!

Ive always enjoyed your video and reviews, but I never realized you were a writer. To boot I didn't realize that I had your book in my audible collection still unread. What wonderful discoveries the day brings

Huh! You brought up Mark Morrison in reference to Campaign Coins, and my brain instantly went "Isn't that the guy who wrote the Call of Cthulhu scenario Reign of Terror?" Sure enough! Love behind the scenes stuff like this. Really goes to show that sheer determination is half the battle.

I am going into the hospital to have a cancer removed from my kidney. My sister just ordered Sea of Quills for me to read when I come back home from the hospital. I really enjoyed Mountain of Daggers and am looking forward to reading the next book about the Black Raven.

Are you planning to release them for the Kindle?

Seth, Where do you find your beta readers? Every single time I get someone volunteering to beta my work their response is always along the lines of, "Yeah. It's fine." 3 to 5K word chapters need more than three words with punctuation.

Do you use a structure in your writing? Do you have a favorite?

Are you going to publish a Black Raven world guide for the RPG gamers who might want to explore this world?

This is legit fascinating as hell. Also, can u buy those coins still?

A good year late touching on this subject, but I only recently found your channel, so... yeah. I love your gaming reviews. I really do. I've been through almost everything on your channel at this point. Still, it'd be awesome to hear you talk about writing more. As a fellow author, and yes, published, I really struggle to find ways to talk about writing, and there's a lot of folks out there that could use the knowledge you have. Going from aspiring to published is a rough journey, as you know. A lot of people don't know where to start, or how to even approach the whole thing. Add into that, all the "Ten Tips" and "Easy Tricks" essays and videos out there that really throw new authors off way more than they help, it can be pretty daunting. Having someone who knows the terrain, that would be awesome. (I've had a novel sitting with a publisher for almost three years now. Still waiting to hear yes or no. I feel the pain, man.) I've tried doing in on my own blog, but I kind of fall into getting published by accident, more than by design, and my stuff is beyond weird, so it's not really a thing I'm good at helping people with. Well, that and I tend to be a little too blunt about reality, which probably makes them feel worse. Anyway, wanted to toss that out as a suggestion, cause over the last bit as I've gotten familiar with you videos, and a bit with your writing, I really think you could help a lot of aspiring authors navigate the mess that is getting to being published. You are super approachable, concise, and offer great advice. Something to think about, at least, I hope. Thanks, Seth, for being you.

"I am not a voice actor" in the 2 years and change since you did this video, you are a very good voice actor. You may not have huge range but you do great work with it.

Whoa wait, you live around Lewisville?

I thought all ravens are black! ;-P

Absolute legend. Very inspiring.

That was great. It's nice to learn a little more about what you've been up to.

Sorry for asking this, but does anyone know if there'll be a sequel to Sea Of Quills?

Amazing! Congrats!

And now ordered

I gotta find that Transmissions from Beyond reading

More D&D Seth. Please!!! I want more Ravenloft. Like you not reviewing but doing a walk through of the adventure. Im blind and dm. It would be great to hear you do that.

I red the book it's ending is dark as fuck dude
