I am Brianna Goux, a 19 year old redditor who has published her first young adult sci-fi novel, AMA!

Here’s a bit about me:
My name is Brianna Goux

I have an unhealthy obsession with giraffes

I’m graduating from the University of Iowa this May

I own a cat, a dog, a horse, and probably have a future animal hoarding problem.

My proof: besides being the only Brianna Goux alive (and maybe ever), here is some proof that I am who I say I am.

Proof, proof, proof and my cat (not proof, I just think she's cute). Oh, and my website

Hello! I’m the author of Amara’s Rose- a Young Adult Science Fiction/Fantasy novel with kickass female leads. I started writing this novel because when I went to middle school all of my friends when to different schools so Rose, Phoenix, Sylvia, and Derek became my friends. I wrote of their adventures and from that this book came forth. My motivation for carrying this novel through the long, arduous process of taking it from a shitty first draft, through editing, and to publishing is that I wanted to write the characters I wish I had read growing up. This book is groundbreaking for this genre in that four out of my five main characters are female, there are no predominant romantic plots or love triangles; there is only a mission Rose is on to save her people and the determination of my characters to save their world.

I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember and have gone from writing short stories about a border collie named Millie to writing 400 page novels about Rose and her intergalactic adventures. The first novel, which was published a few days ago, I have been working on for five years. Ask me anything about life, writing, or giraffes- I’ve got answers for you.

EDIT: Amazon link for those of you asking

I am also interested in writing, but can't seem to find the small plots

inbetween the major story to make it fluff, any tips?



: BriannaMGoux :

:

: That's my biggest issue as well. I would focus on the connecting scenes. How

: are they getting from point A to point B? Then expand on that

Do you have a sample chapter or anything posted to get a feel for it?



: BriannaMGoux :

:

: If you message me I'd be happy to send you the first few chapters :)

How did you make a plot? Was it an idea that just came to you or did you sit

down and brainstorm?



: BriannaMGoux :

:

: It was just a daydream that snowballed

Hey Brianna! Congrats on getting published. Im also a college student that's

passionate about writing. I've been working on and off on different projects

for years now, but I rarely find myself finishing anything between classes and

work. Do you have any advice on staying motivated towards writing (i.e.

following a schedule, researching new ideas)?



: BriannaMGoux :

:

: Thank you! I am the worst about writing ever since I've been in school. I

: don't follow a schedule because I tend to find that based on the day and my

: homework I have varying amount of time to write. What I would recommend if

: you don't have a lot of time to write due to classes is to carry a (for

: pleasure) book around with you wherever you go. You'll start finding a lot of

: five minute gaps where you can read and the more you read the better your

: writing (generally will be). That's one way you can work towards writing. As

: for the actual act of writing- write when you have the impulse. If you don't

: have the time write short hand notes about your idea. Then when you do have

: the time you can pick up your notes and get your ideas flowing. Finding time

: to write during school can be hard, but don't let it discourage you! Follow

: your passion and you'll find motivation there.

I'm an 18 year old writer, and I've set a goal to publish the book I'm writing

before my 19th birthday in April. Just wanted to say that people like you give

me hope, inspiration, and motivation. I'll definitely be checking out your

book. Shit, I gotta come up with a question now, don't I? What are your

thoughts on self publishing versus the more traditional route?



: BriannaMGoux :

:

: I love self-publishing because of the control I have, but I also have to work

: harder to sell because of the prejudice against self-publishing. Everyone has

: their own route for this process! Let me know what you think of my book and

: good luck with your novel!

Hi, I'm very happy to see your book come to life! I am currently working on a

book myself but I tend to lose hope because of the length process and I just

never know when it should end. From chapters, to the whole story itself. What

seems to be a good length for you?



: BriannaMGoux :

:

: Less than 80,000 words is typical for a first time author

striker7 :



Can you share a bit about the process of getting published? For instance:

Did you get a literary agent and they shopped it around? Did you have a

complete draft before getting an agent/publisher?



: BriannaMGoux :

:

: I had a complete and professionally edited draft before I queried agents, but

: I quickly decided that it wasn't the way to go for me. I wanted more control

: over my book and to do things on my terms so I self-published via Amazon and

: here we are!

Do you plan on writing in other genres in the future besides sci-fi? How were

you able to graduate from the university at a young age? Cool cat btw. Do you

have pics of your other animals?



: BriannaMGoux :

:

: I do plan on writing in other genres! I want to write about my great-

: grandmother in the future. And I did a program called running start that

: allowed me to jump start my college career.
