i don’t often read fictional books but if you ever published, i would definitely read yours :))

I really like your book/literature content at the moment 😊

if you see this pls know i love love love the 2020/2021 vlogs and vids if you ever felt comfortable making public there would be at least one person rewatching consistently :,) (they felt like a warm hug and i have yet to find another youtuber that gives the same vibes)

this was a super fun process to watch! i used to write SO MUCH back in middle school and then kind of stopped :/ i used to print out my stories and pass them around to my friends during class and they would add little suggestions and comments to them. so wholesome to look back on. do you think you'll make a video talking about what inspired you to get back into writing and how you started doing it again?

Please don’t stop doing what you’re doing your videos are the best :)

This is the coolest thing ever ✨✨

Oh I was so excited for this vlog. I would love to read your story (or maybe stories) one day! ☺️

Love the idea of having a little mode board or inspiration in pictures to base my characters upon

i can't wait for you to publish your book so i can read it! 👒💐🥐🥰

First video of yours that i have watched and within the first minuet, i subscribed! Your positive energy and lovely outlook on life just gave me good vibes straight away

this was a great video! I love the writing side of youtube, and I watch these videos when I write, so thanks for helping me concentrate lol!

i loved this video so much! can’t wait for more videos like this 💕

I love videos like this! it was so calming and really enjoyable to me

Loooooved this. Thank you for making it!! This helped make the process of character development feel much less daunting.

i've been in such a writing slump and this was so fun and inspiring! super excited to hopefully read your story one day, it sounds fantastic!

please make another one of these!! this helped me with writing my own story

This was super helpful, I’m currently working on a comic and want to expand on my characters!! So thanks ☺️💖

Hey Charley, I haven't watch your video yet, just wanted to say that I'm making crêpes while watching it. It's Sunday, I live in france and today is a good day because of you.

This was super interesting!! You inspired me to write something :)

I never comment on videos, but you are my fave youtuber and I am loving this content! Also, this look is cute as heck.

FINALLY!!!!!❤️❤️❤️

I love this.If your book got published I would read it x dany looks so cool!

This is so cute!!

4:31 YES! I’m a black writer writing a fantasy romance with both of the love interests being black and trying to find ANY medieval photos with their skin color is impossible. :( I really wanted to make a Pinterest board of my story but the pale skin tones just take me out of the immersive experience making a Pinterest board normally does for my characters.

Would love to see a world building video. I'm in a similar situation with a story I've worked on and off on since I was younger.

Wow can’t wait to watch! Btw I ordered the same totoro plush as you!! Lol. I love your glasses and your amazing at art :)

your glasses look so cute!

omg charley we have the exact same glasses!! how cute

How do you manage to sit down and write? 🥺 that’s the hardest part for me

Charley, where did u get the glasses?

oh my god charley i love your content recently! learning about all your hobbies is so sweet : ) i wanted to ask - where did you get your blue light glasses from? theyre so cute!

Thank you so much for the character sheet Charley! I am definitely using this for a character! Also that painting of Dany is so beautifu, I love how creative you arel! I am trying to get into writing child/midlegrade stories (instead of more adult fiction), do you have any tips in terms of style etc. to make a story more suited to a midlegrade audience? Lots of love!

Oh, I‘m already sooo excited to read this one day!! 💓📖 (and I already like Dany wirth his two cool aunts :D ) How often are you writing tho (hours per week/day) ? I always struggle to make enough time, and feel like I could‘ve written much more.. :/

Hey, new subbie here💕 About the trying to find non white people thing....try Pinterest. It's a game changer! It has pictures of black people....just being black people, no racial prejudice or funny business. P.S. I'm black so😂 it's a reality I know too well, hope this helps.

Really nice 👌 😍💋 💝💖❤️
