I quit social media fec,insta, tiktok since 2014 and I will never go back
Donde hallar respuesta, dejaremos de sufrir?
Best video I've watched in 2024. Thank you.
Aw no you should actually be proud of yourself for publishing so young! It's a great learning experience. But YES. I agree with that *embarrassment*. My self published book from when I was eleven is still on Amazon, and I just wave it off when someone mentions it lol.
Do you use flip phone ?
I’m literally using notion to outline my book now 😂 I’ll definitely take some ideas 💡
omggggg Mel! this is looks so amazing. sorry i'm late to the party, lol. i am so proud of you, girl!
This is beautiful!!! Have you thought about doing a tutorial?? Happy writing 💕
🩵🩵🩵🩵
girl, why you dont follow your heart? and stop trying to be someone else?
I like that template:D How did you make the images for ur characters tho?
She might have hired an artist to create them for her or used AI!
the glossiness of the pics make me believe they're AI
Why would you need to count the words tho
Counting the words can be a way to track your progress. Some set a goal for how many words they want to write for the week to stay productive.
tracking progress, motivation, have a certain limit for the day, have a certain minimum for the day.. or just for funzies
Have you tried out that playlist because I don't think it works. I've never gotten any playlists to work other than as previews.
For me it works with the full song sometimes...! I still haven't figured out why, but if it's only showing previews it's really easy to click and open the playlist on Spotify, which is still nice.
Hiii!!! Do you have a P.O. Box!!
I don't sorry! But I love receiving emails <3
when the world needed her the most, she came back.
I can't tell if this is an alternative Avatar reference or not, but thank you!
@@MelTorrefranca I'm pretty sure it is 😎
Ooooh, everything's so detailed ♡ I'll snag it when I re-outline my WIP for sure!
Thanks, hope it helps you!
Yay! Mel Posted! I don't think I've ever commented on one of your videos before, but I just wanna say I found your channel about a year and a half ago and you've been such a big inspiration to me. Keep up the great work :)
Thank you for taking a minute to let me know, that means a lot to me!
I haven't seen you in a while!. Wow, the template looks so cool. I wish Notion Mobile didn't suck. Completely ruined it for me. Will definitely be getting the template when I get a new laptop. I love this so much.
Thank you so much! I hardly ever use Notion mobile either-desktop is definitely better.
Actually as someone from the dinosaur era 🦖 I existed for over 40 years of my life without the internet or social media, we had no choice! They just didn't exist!! Fortunately, it is not essential for me to use it, however it has brought benefits to my life, instant fingertip information, And a place to write store and share my poetry. It brings to mind the fairy tale off The emperor's New clothes! Am I the only one in the crowd to see just how dangerous social media is?, obviously that is overstating, but I feel sorry for a younger generation that has only known social media. We have the expression which states Know Thine Enemy! If we are honest social media is not here for our benefit, it is here to fill the coffers of corporate giants! Evolution has not kept pace with technology, hence the mental health damage caused to so many young people. I worry when I see that's people are giving it up!! Over the years I tried many times to give up smoking, drinking etc overnight!! It can work but rarely, many will end up going back to it? It's not a challenge to face alone, buddy up with a friend, and together cut down your use over a period of time! Sort the wheat from the chaff!!! Some sites are beneficial, some sites are evil!!, but I think we all know that! Good luck!! It won't be easy but the result will pay off in the end! Regards David 🦖

Hey, literally just got approved to beta read Underground Royalty! I'm not sure who approves the readers, but either way thanks so much. I'm kind of freaking out right now.
Happy to have you on board!!
Hey, i am from South Africa , i have written a few short stories and many poems and would like to take my writings to the next level but i don't know how which kinda make the light in me burn out 😢
Thank you for this video🙏🏻 I too have been wondering for years where Pim has gone. Honestly his music gives me goosebumps every time. Chaos in the Jungle is one of the most beautiful songs in the world.
my mom might get me the books and i can’t wait
Aw yay! I hope you enjoy them!
Good one Mel
I just published a book at 13 too!

@@MelTorrefranca if I paste here a text which was written by me. As a writer and native english speaker, can you pls review it? Like, can you tell me if it is good or if it has many redaundant words. Please. I am not native.
Great video 👍👍👍
Thanks for the update - been on the same journey. Love his music so much and hope one day he'll return. Such extraordinary talent. I miss him.
I've been using social media for 19.5 years. I'm 41 I deleted all my platforms 3 days ago. (except RUclips) It's certainly not the first time I've deleted these platforms. Last time was for 6 months this time I'm hoping for a year or beyond. Once again, I told none of my friends I was leaving and after 3 days no one has noticed I'm gone. When I quit for 6 months it took weeks for people to finally send a text asking what had happened. No life in social media life!!
Hi! Im 13 aswell and you really inspired me do a tually start on a book. This idea has been floating on my mind recently. It's about religion, more specifically a religious boy and an atheist girl, pseudo-love story I guess? But the premise wont be focused on romance. Instead, it will be like a back-and-forth between both of them disputing wether god is real or not, but I want the series to end not with the vocal point of the story being if God is real or not, rather how it affected both individuals negatively and positively, and shaped their self-growth and finding strength through their beliefs. Thoughts?
I am 4 months late but I am willing to start now.
Do it!!
Whenever I watch your video I learn sth new. This time I get to know that I can also write a book bcz I have a lot of stuffs to write on but of course meaningful. And, before that I have to increase my vocabulary to make it better and to do so I have to read more books which are also inspired by you. Thank You ! For your indirect guidance. ❤ I really love to watch your videos. ❤
Thank you so much for watching them! I'm happy to hear that :))
That cover is just gorgeous!! Can't get enough of it 🖤 just finished reading Maelin and I can't believe the emotional rollercoaster you were able to put into this book 😭 hopefully will be posting my review soon! your writing just shines through in this novella. I'm so glad you wrote it!
Thank you so much for reading! It was great to see your review :))
Do you consider Google Docs a good writing source?
as a content creator, singer, drawer and model, the most off my differents audience are on instagram. If I delete it, I lose a lot of contacts and opportinities. But it's actually a big fight to avoid scrolling everytime I open the app to post.
💗💗💗
Congrats on the new book fren Mel <3, can't wait for it to come out & love the cover...
Thank you so much!!
"I prefer nature through a window" LOL. This got me laughing so hard. Congrats Mel. You wrote another phenomenal book.
Aw thanks!
remind me to come back ! its late but id love to watch
come back? 🫢
