Ooh I love a list too. I'd second Handmaids Tale and Never Let Me Go. Also Perfume. I still need to read Crow by Ted Hughes. I had no idea that you went to Edinburgh Uni so jealous, it's my favourite city in the world. I've finally got a day off today so catching up with booktube and the like, I'll be doing my try a story video today finally. Hoorah.

Don't mind the haters! Really.

I'm so excited that you got to my question!!!!! Also, you should win an award for the amount of things you are able to do and keep track of at once. I see my to-do list and panic before I've even done one thing on it. I'll working on parceling it down to smaller amounts, because I have anxiety issues, and too many things (even if it looks like just a few) cause it to flare up. Thank you for all the advice you give on writing as well.
It's disgusting that people say such hateful things. They hide behind keyboards and think it gives them the right to say whatever they want. I suppose they missed the whole "do unto others" lessons when they were younger. -
Thank you for answering my question Jen. :)
-
Jen. Mr. M- why do you call him that?
-
Jen, I'm really glad I found your channel. Since I teach History, my reading gravitates to historical nonfiction/fiction with a touch of mystery/political thriller. Your recommendations are new to me and I am enjoying them. I read some poetry (not nearly enough) and almost no short stories (which I am interested in investigating). Keep 'em coming! And thanks for being here.
-
Loved this video - some really good questions - and I learned more about you :) Thank you for doing it.
-
Excellent. Thanks for sharing! Just curious; uh do you ever like to draw?
-
love this video and your channel in general, the potential essay on other sounds awesome
-
Your response to the question about hate is great. You are a beautiful voice on Youtube!
-
I can't believe people are capable of saying such mean things like that! Jen you're a great person. I really look up to you. Thank you for your videos!!! Regards from Brazil 🇧🇷💋

Lovely image of stories strung together like paper dolls. Thanks Jen.

I would love to read more poetry, but unfortunately haven't been able to find any that I really love. I read a collection of William Blake poems but didn't really like any. The only poem I love is Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep by Mary Elizabeth Frye. I was wondering if you could maybe recommend some poetry that is similar, not necessarily in subject but feel, to the Frye poem since you're very knowledgeable in all things poetry.

Hi Jen , what's going on with your fingers ?
-
Thank you for answering my question, Jen. :) And thank you for all of the fantastic writing advice. You are wonderful and so is this video.

Quick note: Your top reminds me of the cover of the 2010 Faber & Faber Edition of Ariel by Sylvia Plath :)
Also, hearing you talk about writing is always so grounding. You make a wonderful BookTube-Writers Mentor :) -
