I honestly thought I was the only one who worries my book is too specific to my ideas and interests to be marketable! But then again, when I think about all of my favourite books, they generally revolve around themes and formats I wouldn't have even thought to explore - whilst there are definitely agents who look for the more tropey, commonly written narratives (which is great!), there are definitely those who love the unusual or previously unexplored! I'd say that anyone who claims it isn't marketable just hasn't seen it done yet and isn't ready to take the plunge - and who wants to put their book in the hands of someone who doesn't care enough about it? passion is contagious, and there'll be people who can't help but want to fight for it once they see your own enthusiasm and read the story you've carefully crafted!

this was the reassurance and motivation I needed to hear today!

I completely forgot that call was THAT long-it did not feel like it at all, I so enjoyed talking shop with you!! And I absolutely cannot wait to read the entirety of Local Heavens, the six chapters I read have been lurking in the back of my mind all this time

AHHH cant thank you enough for reading it!!! 😭💛

@luhhsatori Год назад

i got so excited when i got a notification that you've uploaded 😂 i haven't written new chapters for almost a month and looking back I've realized that i'm also at the climax! things are happening ✨ so excited to reach the ending

1:35 "I don't care how long it is, I'm having a good time" is the motto of my brain. The issue is that my brain and I have two very different opinions. 7:20 You know what, 3 AM is better than 4 AM. 9:42 You're young. Take deep breaths. 18:06 is the face of someone who's just developed grave concern for the humidex having an aneurysm. In general, feeling so good for you at the end of this. In terms of "Sway with Me", bring it on! I'm ready! (With any luck, the magazine you're with is one that presents online availability.)

YOU ARE SO PRETTY KRIS 😍I’ve been trying to also write whatever I want recently and it’s been pretty nice!! It feels a little like I’m not working toward a bigger goal, but these breaks are helpful to give myself a clean state ☺️ this vlog got me in the mood to work on my novel again though hehe thanks!! I like seeing you incorporate your personal life into these videos, like your mom cutting your hair that was so cute!! I’m so excited for everyone to read Sway With Me, we love your story so much 💛

@KrisMF Год назад

thanks for watching Kelley!!! 💛💛

I'm so happy to hear editing for Sway With Me is turning out so positively! Looking forward to that! ❤ I totally sympathize with the worries about Local Heavens finding an audience. When you're writing something niche it can be really hard to find comp titles too! I've got confidence that there's enough overlap between literary fans and people who like cyberpunk for the detail work that it'll be enjoyed, regardless of what happens with publishing. Rooting for ya getting to the home stretch! 🎉

thanks so much for the encouragement! ✨

I’m so excited to read Sway with Me! I hope it’ll be available to read online! I’ve had several short stories published and it’s always exciting. Best of luck finishing LOCAL HEAVENS! I know what you mean about worrying that it will find an audience, especially if you’re a marginalized author. I worry, too.

@TheHoneyPott Год назад

As a fellow Cyberpunk enthusiast, I was wondering if you have any interesting reads on/about the genre that you'd recommend? Anyway, I'm happy Local Heavens is going smoothly !! and I'm excited for you to publish Sway With Me 😊

I have been most heavily influenced by William Gibson’s work personally! I like Neuromancer and Johnny Mnemonic. outside of writing: Cowboy Bebop (1998) is one of my all-time favs. Cyberpunk Edgerunners (2022) is also quite fun. I also like some of the video essays about “Techno-Orientalism” that I’ve seen popping up recently as I think it raises important questions about East Asian representation (and fetishization) in the cyberpunk genre. It’ll be interesting to see how the genre continues to expand, diversify and subvert itself with time because I think, compared to other genres like fantasy, it is still under-written or at least under-explored in mainstream media.
