The Q&A Vlog

   Finally (after almost half a month *cringes*), here is the Q&A vlog I promised you all! Thanks a bunch to all of you who submitted questions, this was super fun to record.


   Yes, I was slightly awkward. Yes, two minutes into the video, Ariel tells me to tuck my misbehaving hair. Yes, the video is eighteen minutes long (my apologies!), and yes it was tons of fun and I'd love to do another xD. I was only able to answer about half of your questions - so if you want me to do a part 2 and answer the rest, leave a comment and tell me so!

   Okay, okay, I'll quite rambling. Onto the video. (sorry that the quality isn't the best - it was fine until I uploaded it to Google Drive *shrugs*) 


   So there was that. Hopefully it wasn't too bad for my first shot at this - and hopefully I'll be back with a better one sometime xD.

~ Savannah Grace

    What is your favorite point of view to write in, 1st, 2nd, or 3rd? What is one of your goals for next year? Should I do a Q&A part 2?

  2. Awk. Your face talks. Amazing. You have an American accent. Agh. So cool seeing and hearing you!! :D

    I actually did some videoing for my vlog this morning! It was hilarious fun, and I so just can't wait for the 30th when I'll post it. Watching this was actually interesting because we got several similar questions... :)

    I vote for part two! *cheers*

    1. "Your face talks." xD So glad this video amused you!

      You did?! Yay! (and isn't recording a vlog fun? Awkward for me, but still fun xD) I can't wait until the 30th so I can see the vlog *nodnod*.

    1. She's an ESFP - not sure how accurate it is, but the extrovert bit is definitely correct! It was really fun having her in the video - otherwise I would have been a lot more awkward without someone to talk with xD. Glad you enjoyed this!

  4. Great job, girl!! *facepalm* I know you've denied it sooo many times...but I was really awkward. XD *whispers* I do want to make an appearance in your next video despite that... ;) I loved getting to hear you answer allll the questions, and I most definitely think that you should make another video!

    1. *whispers* But it was still FUN xD. And you'll have to be there next time (whether in the video or not) to keep the camera from falling over! :D

  5. Ah, you did a vlog! You and your sister are so fun to watch and listen to. :D

    I generally like first person, I think. Or third. I CAN'T DECIDE. But one thing I've always wondered is... what even is 2nd person?? I've seen varying definitions, and I don't know which one. :P

    BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! I'm so excited for that one. xD All around me, people are freaking out over sci-fi movies like Star Wars and Arrival and I just want the fairytales. :P

    (oohh, you pronounce it NaNoREEmo? I pronounce it NaNoRYEmo. xD)

    YES. Pleaaase do a part 2. *really wants my questions answered*

    Loved it!

    1. Glad you liked this, Emily! :D

      I've always though of second person as being more like 'you look up and you see white birds flying overhead' as opposed to 'she looks up and sees white birds flying overhead' (don't know why I did the examples in present tense) - but I could be totally wrong, so I wouldn't quote me on that xD.

      YES it's going to be epic! *waits impatiently for March 17th*

      I've heard most people pronounce it like you do - but I'm an oddball, so I do it differently - even though I'm fairly sure my way isn't correct xD.

      *really wants to answer your questions* I'll probably be doing a part 2 - we'll have to wait and see what happens ;D

  6. I loved this, Savannah! You did great, and you weren't awkward at all. I loved your camera woman. (Seriously, Ariel, the accents. I'm impressed.)
    "Because you can fly, and you can breathe fire. You are awesome." At first I thought you would say a horse, but a dragon was the first thing that came to mind when you said fantasy animals. Though I thought you'd say an elf.
    And YES, Cerulean Kane. So. much. awesome.
    You should definitely do another!

    1. *grins* Thanks, girl! (though honestly, I think I can do a better Irish accent. I need to show you next time I see you ;))

    2. Oooh, that'd be great! I thought you did fine though. ;-) And I was really impressed by your Gollum imitation. Seriously, it was awesome!

    3. Glad you liked this, Hanna! And yes, the camera woman was quite fun :D.

      YES dragons are epicness *nodnod*. (*whispers* I didn't even think of an elf - but I wouldn't quite put them in the 'animal' category, so dragon it was!)

      *will make sure Cerulean doesn't see all the comments praising him* Glad you like him so much! :D

      Delete
    4. True, elves aren't really animals. . . Though in some stories dragons feel more like people. I guess that's why I write fantasy because:
      fantasy = no rules
      :D

  7. This was so much fun. (I love all of the questions.)
    Yes Savannah! Do part 2! (I want to ask some questions too, so maybe even a part 3!��)

    1. Glad you enjoyed it, Cerra! (*whispers* and you can ask a few questions here if you want to, since you weren't able to for part 1 - I can probably sneak them into part two ;))

    2. Ooooo! I can?!? Okay. If you could visit any country in the world, where would you go?
      Thanks! �� I can't wait to see part 2.

    3. THANK YOU, ELLEN! :D *will probably be doing a part two*

      Yes, wouldn't it be so awesome to go and see it together? It would be epic! We should totally do that *nodnod*.

      Glad you like him so much! xD (also, I sent Hanna some snippets from his prequel story - so maybe you can get her to give you those ;))

  10. I LOVED THIS YES WE DEFINITELY NEED A PART TWO!!!!!!!

    Oh, I can't wait to see Beauty and the Beast! And Cerulean is also my fave! I like third person too, but I also LOVE first person. One of my goals for next year...Well, I'd LOVE to go to a writing conference as well, but I don't know if that'll happen. I do want to finish the second draft for Runaway and hand it off to beta readers as well.

    And by the way, your copies of LOTR are gorgeous! My copy (I have all of them as one gargantuan book) is literally FALLING APART. The Hobbit, however, has stayed intact.

    1. EEP THANK YOU!

      *squeaks happily because you like Cerulean* xD. Third and first person are definitely the best - and wouldn't it be cool if we end up going to the same conference (at some point) and meeting each other? That would be the best :D.

      And OH GRACIOUS I will totally be one of your beta readers when it's time! *raises hand and waves it in the air*

      Thank you! I love it, too <3.

  11. THE VIDEO IS HEEEERE!!!!!!!!!!! *tackles it*

    EEP. THIS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAY! I'm literally grinning so hard. I LOVED THIS. And you speak so well! I can't even speak coherently when I'm just talking casually to my family. >.> I fumble around so bad. But you're so confident and easy-going and fun. I JUST LOVED IT. Hearing your answers was TOO. FUN.

    I'M SO LOOKING FORWARD TO BEAUTY AND THE BEAST TOOOOOO. I keep watching the trailer because IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. Also, it was so exciting seeing your copies of LotR that Deborah gave you. THEY SO PWETTY. And I loved your plan of what you'd do in Middle Earth for a day.

    YOU MUST DO MORE OF THESE, YESH. WE NEEDS A PART 2, PRECIOUSSSSS. NEEEEEEEDSSSSS.

    I adored Ariel's commentary in the background, too! I agree with what others said, Ariel should appear on camera. We need an Ariel cameo. ;D But seriously now, you two had me laughing so hard. (Your Irish accent, Ariel, was the perfection! <333) You two actually remind me a lot of my little sister and me!

    I don't think this comment is any form of coherent but I JUST LOVED THIS SO MUCH I CAN'T BOTHER WITH COHERENCY. (It's also midnight, but I just HAD to watch this before going to bed!)

    I NEED PART 2. *flails*

    1. EEP THANK YOU, CHRISTINE! *hugs you* You should see all the fumbling that goes on behind-the-scenes - I honestly didn't think I'd make it coherently through the vlog, but somehow it worked xD. SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT! <3

      Isn't it though?! The movie better live up to my expectations :D. AND YES THE COPIES ARE GORGEOUS - I just love looking at them! xD

      *hides from Gollum and will probably do a part 2* xD

      Ariel was a very fun camera woman, I must say *nodnod*. MAYBE there will be an Ariel cameo - if we can get the camera to stay steady xD. We laughed at ourselves when we re-watched the video after taping it!

      THAT'S OKAY - INCOHERENT COMMENTS ARE THE BEST *nodnod*. Thank you for your sweet comment, Lauri! *hugs*

    2. You liked my Irish accent!!! <3 Thanks, Christine! Yeah, I'd looove to make a cameo... *whispers* ...Savannah....?

  12. WELL THIS WAS GREAT. You did such a good job talking to the camera :D I'm super curious as to who asked the chinchilla question though... XP

    1. WELL THANKS - and talking to the camera is HARD xD. It's a good thing Ariel was sitting behind the camera, that way it wasn't quite so weird xD.

  13. *finally scrambles over here to comment*

    I WATCHED THE WHOLE THING *waves to you and Ariel* IT WAS SO EPIC OKAY. you guys are epic xD and my goodness your hair soooo cute. xD

    *runs away before you yell at me to do a vlog* NOOOO. xD

    1. WOW YOU WATCHED IT ALL? *applauds you* So glad you liked it! (and EEP thank you! :D)

      YESSSS DO IT! xD *chases after you*

  14. Soooo... I was only going to watch a few minutes of this and ended up watching the whole thing. XD YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME. You reminded me a bit of my younger sisters and I! (And yes, I need a part 2. And Ariel should make an appearance and do more accents/voices.)

    I don't know if I remember everything I was planning to comment on--seriously, I should've taken notes--but Realm Makersssss!!! I'm very much hoping to attend this summer. It would be so neat to meet you there one day!

    Your LOTR copies are very pretty. I sadly do not own LOTR yet. But visiting all the elves and going to Bilbo's birthday party would be EPIC.

    I'm sure there's more I was going to say, but I really should be asleep. XD Merry Christmas! :D

    P.S. Oh, my parents give my siblings and I new tree ornaments every year too, it we get ours the day the tree goes up, usually around the beginning of the month.

    2. EEP Tracey, you wonderful thing! *hugs you* And YES REALM MAKERS - it would be SO cool to go someday! Meeting each other would be the BESTEST *nodnod*.

      *gasps* Tracey, go get thyself some gorgeous LotR copies! (and I would take ALL my LotR-loving friends with me to the party :D)

      Ooh, you do an ornament tradition too? That's so cool! *highfives* You'll have to post a picture of the ornament you got in your Subplots post this month ;). (no pressure - but I'd love to see it!)

  15. SO I FINALLY WATCHED THIS. Epic video where SAVANNAH ACTUALLY TALKS TO US, guest-starring Ariel. XD I don't always have time/fast enough internet to watch videos all the time buuuuut you should totally do a part two because this one was so FUN and you're so good at it! Like, you're super casual and talkative and I would never have known this was your first time on camera because you seemed so natural. O_O SERIOUSLY, WOW. I am super awkward/self conscious and a video of me would be SO bad (there's a reason I write and don't talk) but you and Ariel were SO SO FUN. :) I so enjoyed it! ^_^ *squeaks because I was mentioned and feels faaaamous* And :O mint is WONDERFUL! <3 I need more of Ariel too because she's hilarious. XD This was SO fun, thanks for sharing!

    Also! FYI, I FINALLY did the Text Tag you tagged me for ages ago, on my blog today! Just thought I'd let you know. ^_^ https://deborahocarroll.wordpress.com/2016/12/26/two-word-tags-text-quotes/ Hope you had a good Christmas! <3

    1. YAY! Better late than never xD. And OH GRACIOUS thank you for your sweet comment, Deborah! (*whispers* and I'm kinda planning for part 2 to come in January)

      *sighs in relief because you didn't think I was super majorly awkward* GOOD xD. And writing instead of talking is SO ACCURATE for me - I mean, you can EDIT your thoughts and actually end up coherent xD. I'm so glad you enjoyed the vlog! And YES, THANK YOU for those gorgeous LotR books, I love them *nodnod* *happily pets them*.

      *scrambles over to your blog to read the post* Merry (belated) Christmas to you as well, Deborah!

  16. This is a SUPER awesome vlog! You seem so at ease in front of the camera! (How do you do it??)

    And J.K. Rowling!! Aaaah!! Yes, she is SO incredibly amazing! Harry Potter was the first "no-longer-a-chapter-book" series that I read. :D

    And I really need to read Nadine Brandes's books! I've stalked her blog for a year or two already, but I finally got ahold of her trilogy, so I think I'll be reading them pretty soon. :D

    And I vote for a part two to this vlog! :)

    Have a great weekend!
