Whether you’re a beginner trying to publish your debut novel, or a seasoned professional looking for border viewpoints, here you’ll find advice and a detailed explanation of every step I took to publish my book. Learn everything I did right and wrong so you too can improve your author journey. 📖
—What I’m about—
My channel offers a variety of writing, art, and media related content focused on discussion, personal advice, speedraws, animations, humor/entertainment, and creativity. If that’s your cup of tea, then consider sticking around and follow my journey as a young author and artist 😄 And don’t be scared to contact me or strike up a conversation!

—What’s next for my channel?—
My next post will be a discussion of this year’s NaNoWriMo, what I worked on, discussing some program controversy, and advice on moving forward after a long month of writing.
A/N: Wow, I haven’t posted a sit down writing video like this in almost a year. I’ve been mostly posting speedraws and other art stuff since those were all I really had the energy to do, but I plan on doing more of these kinds of videos in the future. Hopefully at least once a month so I can keep a routine. Also apologies for any poor camera or mic quality. I’m still trying to improve my content but equipment is very expensive so I’m trying to make due with what I have. I’m also not great with talking on camera in general but I’m slowly but surely getting better and trying to improve my talking speeds and lisp. Follow my journey if you want to see me slowly get better at this whole YouTube thing haha.

#animation #animator #digitalart #digitalartist #procreateart #procreateanimation #capcutanimation #capcut #originalcharacters #ocs #indieartist #indieauthor #bookcharacters #scifibookMilitary Fashion Show │animation meme│(flash warning)Rosalind B. Sterling2024-05-09 | Military fashion show meme except I hardly follow the format and use a different part of the song lmao. But anyways, this is my first official animation meme! I’ve technically done a few prior to this but they weren’t *really* animation memes and were usually hardly animated or too short. So excuse the quality of this video, I’m still getting used to making stuff like this. I was honestly pulling my hair out trying to make it look decent but I think this is an okay first try, especially considering I didn’t use any actual animation programs and just drew each frame in procreate then added them individually into CapCut using some key frames and effects. There’s also a lot of OC lore here that probably doesn’t make sense without any context so click this link for some information on my OCs: authorrosalindbsterling.com/new-page
Here’s some extra context about this video: The first scene is loosely based off a scene from book 2 in my trilogy where Sapphire walks in on Jonathan and Katrina (the two main characters in this video) Yada yada. Everyone sleeps with each other at this agency. But I wanted it to transition to stuff about Jonathan’s past relationships since that’s been a subject we explore in book 2. Trauma from his abusive ex (Licy) gets rehashed, and he even starts to regret the one good ex girlfriend he had (Saba) because he got together with her right after his breakup with Licy and broke things off after realizing he wasn’t ready for a relationship again at that point. He just holds some guilt because he felt like he let her down. Now that he’s with Katrina and sees a future with her, he wants to lock things down as quickly as possible because he knows he got lucky with her, and understands that either of them could die out in the field any day. So he’s scared that if he doesn’t push things forward now, he’ll never get a chance to settle down with her. But he also doesn’t want to push her into things too quickly and risk ruining the relationship altogether since they both come from complicated pasts. So rushing into things is probably the last thing either of them need Also we go over some stuff with them trying to capture Jase since that’s the main plot of book 2. I just wasn’t solely focusing on that in this animation.

Sterling2024-05-07 | Just something silly I made to accompany a rant I posted on Instagram. I'm currently looking into alternatives to advertise and promote my content and will instead use social media on the side of it. Social media is just such a hit or miss and terrible for mental health if I'm being completely honest. I'll still post as often as I can, I just don't want to solely rely on it.

Sterling2024-04-30 | I'm like two months late to reviewing this show lol sorry 😭 But anyhoo, this video was as fun as it was frustrating to make since there is just so much to say about this show. It's a beautiful hot mess and I wanted to voice a lot of my own thoughts as well as thoughts brought up by other communities since there are so many good points out there. But I couldn't cover them all unless I wanted this video to be ten hours long, so I covered what I could. As always, keep this discussion civil, and remember that most of this is just my opinion and all my opinions are subject to change.

Sterling2023-12-19 | Here’s my entry for @DaCaptainDerpy ’s contest! I had lots of fun with it XD I originally was just going to share the art of DJ unicorn at a rave party but it slowly got more and more complicated as I started made a last minute story line of DJ unicorn going to a rave and Derpy finding out about it and being “tf are you doing here?” lmao. I didn’t have much of a direction with this but my idea was mostly based on Derpy’s first song: "My Friendly Ghost" which can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=fs6kV4siLww I really liked the cover with DJ unicorn in their glow sticks and wanted to run with a rave theme. I also, of course, had to add that little blob thing Derpy voices because it’s iconic lol. His characters are so fun and I loved having an excuse to draw them so this was awesome. I hope you enjoy this Derpy!

Also, I mentioned this on my Instagram, but for anyone not in the loop, I’m currently making a very lengthy blog and video essay for this franchise that will go over lots of info about the movie, book, production, creation, and analyses on the plots, characters, worlds etc. So look out for that 😉

Now that the trailer has officially been posted, I wanted to share the soundtrack! The music was slowed down to fit the length of the trailer and was also covered with a bunch of voices and sound effects so it’s not super easy to hear the full thing. You do get to hear a snippet of it at its normal speed without any sound effects over it during the credits, but I wanted to dedicate a post to just the full song so I can have an excuse to brag about this masterpiece that I’ve been jamming to since I made the trailer. The song was made by music producer: Alzah studio, which can be found on Fiverr here: fiverr.com/alzha_studio?source=gig_page
Super talented and kind guy honestly. 10/10 recommend hiring him. I asked him to make a song that was inspired off of Hey Baby by Pitbull because, as you all probably know by now, that song is my absolute favorite of all time and I heavily associate it with my book series for an unexplainable reason. If song hyperfixations exist, then I have one on that song because I’ve been fucking obsessed with it since I was like 12 and have a million different versions of it saved to my phone. But I couldn’t use it due to copyright issues which meant I couldn’t sample it either. So I had him make a song that was inspired by it instead. So if it sounds vaguely familiar to you, that’s why 😉
I honestly have so much nostalgia with that song. Like specific memories of me listening to it in my bedroom late at night while daydreaming about my characters and looking out at the stars which is why I picked it. I’m super happy with how it turned out and can’t be more thankful for the folks that worked with me on this trailer 😭🙏

———- I am once again so sorry for how late I posted this compared to my book’s release. I am by no means a professional artist, so this was a big project for me even if it seems small to others but even despite the stress it caused me, I still had a blast working with the voice actors and music producer, as well as drawing all those frames, and I’m so happy that I was able to finish it 😭🙏 I have so much more to say, but I don’t want to clog this post with a bunch of rambles, so I’ll make another post in a day or so going over all my thoughts on this 6-month long project. For now, I’ll save my words so you can enjoy this thing I labored over for half a year.Book trailer sneak peek #animation #animatic #youtubeshorts #authortubeRosalind B.

Description:
This part takes place during the prologue of the book. The trailer will be about 2-3 minutes long (not including credits and promos). The prologue portion should take up about 40 seconds of that runtime while the rest takes place in the current time line.
Also, I'm so fucking late to posting this lmao. I need to start promoting this trailer more if I want it to get more than like 3 views when I post it, but I’m also very busy and exhausted and no matter how much I try to promote my shit, nothing works, and I just end up wasting time and energy. So these sneak peeks might be sporadic.
Also also, this isn’t the finished clip. I’m still gonna be working with the audios and visuals and stuff since I’m using Capcut which has a lot of cheap looking transitions/effects, but it’s the only video editing app I know how to use, so I’m gonna do my best with whatever I have. The drawings themselves could be a lot better as I’ve said before, and I fucked up the perspectives/proportions on a lot of these. I might try and fix some of them, but I don’t have the time or patience to perfect them or else this trailer won’t see the light of day for years lol. These illustrations are more like those rough, unrendered drawings you see in comic dubs on YouTube. As long as it gets the point across that’s all that matters. A few parts will also be animated but only slightly.
Last thing I wanna mention is that I’m almost done with all of the drawings. I’m waiting until I finish all of the frames to start putting the full video together. I don’t have an official release date, but I’m working on getting my book on ingram spark soon so I can list all of the book’s locations in the video. The trailer should be up soon after that (def sometime in August)

Sterling2023-04-14 | This is a human version of a creature from my book called a "Burbal." She's basically a small ball of pink fur (her name's Rachael btw) that my MC Jonathan takes with him everywhere like an emotional support animal, but he basically treats her like a daughter. I tried humanizing her YEARS ago but it obviously looked like shit. So I wanted to try again with my new skills. She’s honestly the closest thing Jonathan has to a child, and I think the only reason he gets the hang of parenting his future biological children so quickly is because of the Burbals. They were his trial run lol. Also fun fact about Rachael: she has a strange patchwork of knowledge. So she could have an excruciatingly detailed conversation about politics or quantum physics, then fail to understand 2+2. Jonathan eventually learns to deal with her odd range of intelligence, but it definitely makes for some good humor.
