Unpopular opinion i actually love Sundays, it’s the perfect reset and prep day 😌 It’s also the day I go through my planner (your yearly one) and plan my week ahead!
congrats Ruby! That is like the main goal of half the people in my creative writing course and you have just achieved it. I can't wait to read your book one day.
Congratulations Ruby on obtaining a literary agent. Nevermoor is truly a wonderful series, for me it is a series that holds all the early magic of the Harry Potter novels and the same sense of innocence they had. It is wonderful.
A little tip: you can make numerous takes of what you want to say. Or even write a text and learn it. Or put the text in front of you. This way you will not have to make three cuts in the first 9 seconds of a video.
Congratulations on getting an agent, Ruby! And you are so right getting an agent is just the beginning. My agent and I worked on my book proposal for almost two years before we sold it but fortunately, it paid off and I got a deal in 2021 and got to announce it this week! Best of luck on the journey!
Thank you SO much Ruby! I've commented quite often in the past and you've ALWAYS been kind enough to reply! People need to be told how special they are and that's what I'm hoping to do here. I am old enough to be your grandfather and am suffering/dying from COPD. Your magical eyes, your electric smile and your joie de vivre ALWAYS make me feel better! God Bless you Ruby and keep changing/influencing the world 💖
I'm watching this on a saturday and genuinely quite overwhelmed because I have a very big week ahead and know there is an awful lot to do, however seeing how your sunday progressed I'm oddly feeling much calmer about tomorrow - loved this video ruby :))
nothing i love more than catching up on your videos. lifes been hectic for me lately and iv missed about 10 of your videos. currently catching up with a nice cup of tea. my favourite way to unwind. always super grateful for your videos. definitely my comfort youtuber 😊
I bought the Yearly Planner in December, and I have to say I love it. It's been a great tool in planning my day-to-day activities, especially now that I've switched jobs and need to keep a close eye on my tasks.
Hello Ruby: A lovely Sunday vlog and explanation of why you do specific things on Sundays. We also have a Reset Day but ours tends to be Saturdays, the reason being we can then enjoy the rest of our Saturday and all of Sunday as we wish before starting back to the work week. :) Congratulations on establishing an agent and on already being at re-write for potential publishing. Do talk through which types of publishing houses your agent will approach as, all too often, it isn’t the work that isn’t of a good standard but the publishing houses being approached. We’ve no doubt your book likely takes place in the Victoria era and, as you know those books so well, try to ensure your agent approaches houses that are well known for Victorian era publications. It may make all the difference between a Yes and a No. Also, don’t become disheartened by the “no”s. It only takes 1 Yes, and as an avid reader, we know you know the stories of how many rejections before acceptance. We are super proud of you taking this leap and will cheer you on throughout! It is also wonderful that you have already established a routine in budgeting and recording keeping. Of course you have to do it for tax purposes, but a lot of young people don’t set up budgets and expense recordings until they are much older and then wonder: Where on Earth did all my money go? As you move into full independence and work life it becomes imperative to keep budgets and expenses so that when setting big goals such as home expenses, purchasing a car, saving for a house etc one can have a good understanding of where they may be spending that can be reduced and where they may be able to save as well. For instance, in the fast fast work world, it is extremely easy to be so tired at the end of the day that just getting a takeaway feels easier than cooking. A takeaway is, of course, often delicious and shouldn’t be a never, but if keeping a budget snd expenses sheet, one might find the level of takeaways can be reduced to help save for something else. Just an example though - some people’s work lives are so demanding, a takeaway may be the only option. As a parent, I have to keep tabs on every penny I spend because unexpected expenses come up ALL.THE.TIME. Whether it is something as simple as Child A needs new school trousers or something as expensive as Child B is meant to be going on a trip to China for school (happened one year - pandemic cancelled it). By knowing how much you are spending and where, you can find ways to move funds around or to cut back in order to ensure these unexpected expenses are covered (or even put funds in savings specifically for unexpected expenses). The better you know where your money goes, the better off you will be in the long run. Finally, we own the entire Nevermoor series. If you ever want to read more of them, just let me know and we can send them your way. As you know, we are extremely avid readers in this household (even if we aren’t good at keeping up with our online logs) and so own A LOT of children’s literature. Always with love, 🌹 and the gang
I burst into a smile when you said you got an agent! :) We can tell you work so hard on your writing for the enjoyment of it and so proud of this achievement!
Well when you have to work from monday to Saturday in fabric to pay for your apartment and billls and then there is nothing left from your money I think that’s is a hard work
Congratulations on getting a literary agent, that's amazing! I hope that process goes well for you. You're very inspirational in that way. I've been working on a writing project myself that I just picked up from sitting for a few months and I'm really in the right headspace now. I'm loving it. Your videos really do make me want to do more fun things :) thanks for sharing!
Adding another to the long list of Congratulations for the literary agent! The blueberry pancake tea sounds really good. My husband gave me two linen bags filled with so many Twining & Stash teas and I have not found any duplicates yet. Really helps when I am trying to get classwork done (going back to school for Health Information Management-but professionally I am a 30yr Respiratory Therapist). I will have to suggest that tea to him. Keep up the good work & congrats again!
This problem of wether to watch Ruby's videos after a long day of studying to calm down or in the morning before a long day of studying to motivate yourself...😅
your videos are the highlight of my week. thank you ruby, for giving me something to look forward to every week. :) you may be just making videos, but your videos are the only thing keeping some people going appreciate it tons
Oh Ruby if that was alcohol that you were spraying on your phone, please don't do it when it is ON and most importanatly don't do it when it's charging! it's very dangerous! it might actually explode (seriously). Be careful please😥
Unfortunately I can’t watch your video anymore because my life is not the same. There is war in my country Ukraine and I lost so much and I am afraid I don’t know what to do. I thank God for every moment of my life but I can’t just watch for someone’s wonderful life I’m sorry.
I'm from Poland and I can't find the words to express my feelings. I'm afraid that the war will be here, too, but mostly I'm crying because of your tragedy. Yet my fear and sorrow cannot be compared with your fear, sorrow and pain! I'm so sorry, I probably cannot even imagine what you're going through. If it is possible, do not lose hope and stay safe. I'm praying for you and Ukraine 🙏 Слава Україні! 🇵🇱❤🇺🇦
Ася, my thoughts are with you, your family, your community and your country. It is terrifying to see what is happening. So awful that it doesn't seem real. As Holly says, the world is watching -- and I am so sorry. Please please try to stay safe.
please know that Poland will always be ready to help you. i and several of my friends have already sent money to the Ukrainian army and i encourage everybody reading this to do the same. the Ukrainian army is fighting very well so far, they're experienced, highly motivated, and new shipments of weapons arrive every day. I hope you'll be able to stay hopeful even a little bit. Sending tons of hugs from PL
I know youll never see this But as some9ne with dyslexia ive often felt like learning and education excluded me but youve given me the courage and self disipline to work and try harder Eternally grateful
I read your first book and look forward to the next one. I also am getting back into tea drinking and am awaiting my order from Whittards. Thanks Ruby.
Ruby, I´m sooo happy for your book! Also, u inspire me a lot and watching your videos makes me feel relaxed Idk... a safe space! Sending love from Brazil
This is something I have been meaning to write in relation to another video which had so many things that you try to do in a day. I wanted to share with you something I tried out in a similar situation when I I had a lot to fit in. Instead of using a 24 hours cycle, I used a 48 hour cycle. So on day 1 I had to do a, b, c etc and on day 2 x, y, z and then back to ab ,c and then xyz. It was less stressful and more manageable. I am interested in your view on it.
Hi Ruby, I was having a really bad day and your video just changed everything. You are an amazing human being and it would be my absolute dream to meet you. Keep the videos coming！Love, Aidi
Shouldn't this be listed as an advert, or at least you should declare gifted products/past partnerships? There was the oh so obvious product placement of the snack bars, two tea 'adverts' and I think you also casually mentioned a milk brand you'd previously worked with, as well as Notion...
Love your this video rubyyy ,it was soo aesthetically pleasing and sooo motivating ,as always youuu look soooo pretty and beautiful!!!!!!! .take caree . 😀😀😀😀💜💜💜💜💜😃😃😃😃i hope you are having a good health!!!
congratulations Ruby! 🤗 also, you made me really want to try bird&blend teas! i had already selected 5 flavors to try with the 5 package deal, only to find out shipping would rack the total up to over €40 🥴 so i will try and stop by one of their physical shops when i am in England again (in the near future i hope) 🙈
What do you use for your manuscript? Microsoft Word or Apple Pages? A cloud based system like Google Docs? Or, a specific writing program like Scrivener? Curious…Abby
8:17 your nails might turn yellow in time if you put the nail polish right after the nail polish remover...better rinse your nails in water after removing the nail polish and then put the nail polish on.
Hi! I am a massive fan of bird and blend too their blueberry pancake tea is heavenly 😍😍 did you know you can open the packets without ripping the top off? It isn’t sealed so you can just open it and then seal it shut! I’m not trying to criticise - just thought I’d put a message in case you hadn’t realised! 😆
congratulations on getting a literary agent!! that is so exciting! and one of my goals at the moment! could you offer me any advice on finding a literary agent? how did you go about it?
Ruby! Big congratulations! I will definitely be reading once your book is out ☺️ I hope you don’t mind me asking, but where is your hat from? I’m in love! X
Omg Ruby! I’m so happy for you! I’m trying to get a literary agent and I’ve been trying for quite a while now, would you be able to make a video on how you got one like how you structured your query letter, where you looked for agents etc?
I just approached a lot of agents! I've been looking for an agent for the past two years and faced a few rejections -- and then, funnily enough, an agent approached me and asked if I had any plans for publishing. I didn't end up signing with that particular agent, but sent off a draft and letter to another agent who did end up accepting it :) I could talk about the process more in a video (especially compiling the different elements that I sent to agents), but I am also aware that my RU-vid channel gave me an advantage when approaching literary agents (even though I don't want to position it as a "RU-vidr book") x
@@RubyGranger8 hi thanks so much for replying! Yea I.m just gonna keep trying and persevering. Yes a video would be great if you could make one. Thank you :)
