20k in 2 Days (Collab with Katie Ann Writes) Wallisimo 2023-08-08 | Writing 20 thousand words in 2 days wasn't easy the first time I attempted it. And editing 20 thousand words in 2 days also turned out to be a difficult task. @writerofscribbles and I camped out together in mid-July and attempted to complete this challenge. It was a bit of an S show, tbh.Katie's Video:youtube.com/watch?v=7C8l-ydmU_4&pp=ygUQa2F0aWUgYW5uIHdyaXRlcw%3D%3DMy Links:My Sims Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCyS1RCaE-5amH7n-0V8dDjQThe Troublemakers: (We do ‘sprinting’ streams on Fridays at 9:30 a.m. eastern): youtube.com/c/TheTroublemakersTMMy instagram: instagram.com/wallisimo_writesMusic: (Most music in my videos is sourced from Epidemic Sound)Say You Would by Victor Lundberg (Instrumental)My Outro song is Checkmate by Nathan MooreEquipment: Camera: Sony ZV-1 Editing Software: Final Cut Pro
5 Years on Authortube // Reacting to Authortube Newbie Tag Wallisimo 2024-10-01 | Celebrating 5 years of this YouTube channel by looking at my very first video and seeing how far I've come. The hair has changed but the dream hasn't. And it blows my mind that in just one week, I will officially be able to call myself a novelist upon the publication of A Dark and Secret Magic. I can't say these years have gone by fast. How could they? With everything that has happened since 2019. But I am so happy to be where I am today, to have made it to the other side of it all. And other than maybe uploading a bit more, capturing just a smidge more of my journey, I can't say I regret spending the past five years among you, writer friends. If you are ready now that it is officially October, pre-order my love letter to Halloween: A Dark and Secret Magic: penguinrandomhouse.com/books/767124/a-dark-and-secret-magic-by-wallis-kinney

you conjure the spirit of a dead witch to remove a family curse // Black Water Playlist VEDIO Day 8 Wallisimo 2023-10-08 | Two years ago I uploaded my project playlist for This Book is for October. Now that TBIFO is finished, my mind still finds itself dancing around in that universe. I may or may not have started working on a prequel story. A group of young college students in Michigan accidentally find themselves embroiled in a magickal mess after spending a weekend at their lake house. A night of fun partying in an abandoned graveyard takes a turn when magick promises to give the students all their desires. Can they last through the month of October and solidify the powers of their new coven? Or will all be lost to the temptations of magick? This playlist is a much more rough outline than the TBIFO one was, but every song title and every image will likely play a role in this new story. It's definitely moodier than TBIFO ever was, so if you're looking for something that evokes dark dealings with long dead spirits, enjoy!If you like spooky witchy stories, check out my playlist for This Book is for October. Many many writing vlogs as I work through that story. I go into lots of detail about the story itself and my writing process. Enjoy!youtube.com/playlist?list=PL61UfFonaOcL-boJRsKfUZEvgkK2Buw2w&si=fLl7ixq3bVoLiAaxAnd I'll see you tomorrow for another VEDIO Video!My Links:My Sims Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCyS1RCaE-5amH7n-0V8dDjQThe Troublemakers: (We do ‘sprinting’ streams on Fridays at 9:30 a.m. eastern): youtube.com/c/TheTroublemakersTMMy instagram: instagram.com/wallisimo_writesMusic: (Most music in my videos is sourced from Epidemic Sound)My Outro song is Checkmate by Nathan MooreEquipment: Camera: Sony ZV-1 Editing Software: Final Cut Pro

Ink + Volt Dashboard Review Wallisimo 2023-04-06 | Here are my thoughts on the Ink + Volt Dashboard Deskpad. I go over the general structure of the deskpad itself as well as show how I use it for my personal planning every week.This video is dedicated to @AnnaRobbinsWrites on the condition that it was actually Anna who asked me to make a video about this a few weeks ago. I went searching for that moment to confirm it was her but the troublemakers (mainly me) talk so much and I wasn't gonna sit through a four hour stream. If Anna wasn't the one who asked for this...well then the video is still dedicated to her because why the hell not?Intro: (0:00)Review: (1:10)My Links:My Sims Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCyS1RCaE-5amH7n-0V8dDjQThe Troublemakers: (We do ‘sprinting’ streams on Fridays at 9:30 a.m. eastern): youtube.com/c/TheTroublemakersTMMy instagram: instagram.com/wallisimo_writesMusic: (Most music in my videos is sourced from Epidemic Sound)My Outro song is Checkmate by Nathan MooreEquipment: Camera: Sony ZV-1 Editing Software: Final Cut Pro
ChatGPT Writes a Chocolate Short Story Wallisimo 2023-03-29 | I have returned to bring you a chocolate short story. Sadly, I can't claim this as my own work as it was written by ChatGPT. I wanted to see how quickly/well this newfangled A.I. could write a chocolate short story within the same constraints that I face. The story itself is pasted below:Lady Antione's Garden: Lady Antoine had always been known for her love of gardening. She spent most of her days tending to her beautiful flowers and plants, which she grew in her sprawling garden in the heart of London. Her passion had earned her great recognition, and she had even won the coveted Chelsea Flower Show in 1928.But after her victory, Lady Antoine had withdrawn from the public eye and sunk into a world of secrecy. For thirty years, she had stayed hidden away, tending to her garden and avoiding all social contact. Many had speculated about her sudden reclusiveness, but nobody knew the true reason.On the thirtieth anniversary of her Chelsea victory, Lady Antoine emerged from her seclusion. She had decided that it was time to share her beloved garden with the world once more. The garden had been closed to the public for decades, but she had now arranged for it to be opened to the public for one day only.Word of the event quickly spread, and crowds began to gather outside the gates of Lady Antoine's garden. As the clock struck ten, the gates opened, and the visitors streamed in, eager to catch a glimpse of the famous garden.Lady Antoine herself was there to greet them, a small smile on her lips. She was dressed in a flowing dress of soft, pale blue, and her hair was tied back with a ribbon. In her hand, she held a small sprig of elderflower, which she had picked from one of her many plants.The garden was a wonderland of color and scent, with roses of every hue, lavender, and lilies. The air was thick with the sweet fragrance of jasmine and honeysuckle, and the gentle rustling of leaves could be heard in the breeze.The visitors wandered through the garden, marveling at the beauty of the blooms. Lady Antoine followed them, pointing out her favorite plants and offering snippets of advice on how to care for them. Her eyes sparkled with pleasure as she watched the people enjoy her beloved garden.As the day wore on, Lady Antoine became more and more animated, her shyness melting away in the warmth of the sun. She laughed and joked with the visitors, sharing stories of her life and her love of gardening.As the sun began to set, the visitors made their way out of the garden, each one clutching a small bouquet of flowers, a reminder of the beauty they had witnessed. Lady Antoine stood at the gate, waving goodbye to them all.Once the last of the visitors had left, Lady Antoine retreated back into her garden. She sat down on a bench and closed her eyes, taking in the sounds and smells around her.For thirty years, she had kept her garden hidden away, a secret world that was hers alone. But now she realized that sharing its beauty with others had brought her more joy than she had ever thought possible. She promised herself that she would open the garden to the public every year, to share its beauty with all those who appreciated it.She looked down at the sprig of elderflower in her hand, and smiled. It was a reminder of the day she had returned to bloom once more, to share her love of gardening with the world.My Links:My Sims Channel: youtube.com/channel/UCyS1RCaE-5amH7n-0V8dDjQThe Troublemakers: (We do ‘sprinting’ streams on Fridays at 9:30 a.m. eastern): youtube.com/c/TheTroublemakersTMMy instagram: instagram.com/wallisimo_writesMusic: (Most music in my videos is sourced from Epidemic Sound)My Outro song is Checkmate by Nathan MooreEquipment: Camera: Sony ZV-1 Editing Software: Final Cut Pro
