In this vlog, I spend two weeks working on Butcherbirds, my 2023 novel coming from S&S about a reluctant medium moving into an inherited mansion and the investigative journal looking into what happened to her. I also semi-freak out about NaNoWriMo/November, love that for me.

I do an update after having used Plottr for over a year to share some of the new features Ive enjoyed, changes in how I use the program, features I would like to see, and most importantly, do I still recommend using Plottr?
Plottr*: https://plottr.com/?ref=481
*I now have an affiliate link! If you use this to buy a Plottr license, I will get a portion of the sale. This does not affect my opinion of the program, and in fact I did not even have this link when I made this video. But if you want to purchase a license and support me at the same time, this is a great way to do so!

I decided to dive into some more of these lists of advice! This one is from a tweet thread from Pixars Story Artist. As a disclaimer, I do not think I know more about storytelling than Pixar, and I understand that it will be different in books than it is in movies, but I thought it would be fun to dive into these. Im sharing my opinion, but I hope that youll get involved in the discussion in the comments too!

![Author Panel: 10 Rapid Fire Questions About Magic, Fantasy, and More [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FOUZKxAT8aA/hqdefault.jpg "Author Panel: 10 Rapid Fire Questions About Magic, Fantasy, and More [CC]
I chat with Payal, Vanessa, Akshaya, and June about all things magic and fantasy from the vampire and werewolf debate to their favourite and least favourite parts of worldbuilding.
As a note, I know this is a long video considering the rapid fire title. This is something new Im doing so Im still learning haha. In future (minus the second upcoming one which is already filmed) I will likely cut down to five questions to get that faster paced and short video content that Im hoping to achieve with this series. So this time around, enjoy the extra content! :D BUT that being said, I have included time stamps below in case you want to hop around
0:00 Introduction
00:14 Describe your book in a sentence + your name, book title and release date
01:51 Contemporary fantasy or high fantasy?
03:54 Describe the type of magic in your book using three words
04:43 Chosen one trope, love or loathe?
07:57 Favorite part of world building?
12:32 Vampires or werewolves?
16:18 Least favorite part of world building?
20:41 Magical objects or magical people?
23:55 What is something you used as inspiration for your magic system or world?
29:47 Would you rather, have magic but also have your MC’s fatal flaw OR not have magic but have your MC’s best non-magical skill?
