i moved to my dream house to write a book 📗 (in seoul, korea!!)

join my close friends group chat on instagram here: ig.me/j/AbYJiZjwhG6WakBT/ -- i'll be sending all book updates here 💌

"Oh no I forgot my sunglasses in the forest of wisdom" is such a distinct vibe 😂

JACK YOU'RE LIVING THE DREAM! so so happy for you and i hope that you have the best time there. <33

Please do add the carbonara in your acknowledgements, i love it when authors put seemingly out of pocket things in the acknowledgements 😭

i watched you on a podcast once where you said you’d rather live your life, then film it, instead of make filming your entire life, and i’m glad you’re doing that ❤️

As an author, my biggest tip is to write everything. Do not stop when your creative juices are pumping! Free writing is amazing. Then, after writing the entire manuscript—COOK THE BOOK! Let it simmer for about a month or two. Some will do this for even a year. Then, go back to your work, and that's the time when you edit it. You'll see so many things to fix, adjust, add, or delete. This method has worked for all the books I have written. I wish everyone good luck! Good luck with writing, Jack!

The way you’re smiling throughout - you are truly in the right place!

Love how he moved to Seoul because of ✨literature✨ Many people move to Korea because of business, Korean entertainment culture and technology. It’s rare to move there just for literature but it’s actually a bliss. The country’s book culture; literature, libraries and book cafes are literally the best ones. You can’t experience it anywhere else. Most people would figured that if I ever move to South Korea, it will be because of the Korean entertainment culture. Don’t get me wrong, I love K-Pop and KDrama but it was never because of that. My love for books is beyond and South Korea feels like a dream for bibliophiles. So happy for him to live the dream

I don't want this video to be over!!!!! The music, the views, the editing style, EVERYTHING was sooooo amazing! Also, I'm not sure if this is possible, but for the place that you are writing about you might be able to watch some vlogs from people that went there? Maybe they took a tour of an old building you are writing about, or they talk about the view from a certain point. Anyway, we need more video's like this!! Good luck.

This is, truly, the very best content you have ever produced…..show us more of Jack the writer!

In korea right now, having a very sentimental and cry filled time away from my family, but this is just what I needed because I’m nearing the end of my first draft

The peace I want in my life to write poetry

I loved this! As 40 something female, I feel like I’m living my life vicariously through you.. thank you.. I’m so glad I found you.. I’ve just enrolled in a creative writing course at my local college… I have a dream..

I’m from Paju but living in London. I’m so glad you’re enjoying my hometown☺️ It is the best city for book lovers!!!!

Oh my gosh, welcome to Korea! I love your channel and immediately clicked on the video when I saw the title 🥹 hope you get the inspiration that you need!

manifestingggg jack and cari collabs

you're glowing jack, i feel so incredibly happy for you right now i could cry 🌟🤍🥹

OMG IM KOREAN AND MY JAWS DROPPED WELCOME KOREA JACK!❤🎉

I did not know Paju was known as Book City. I remember going there back in 2017 to visit an outlet mall (best highlights for me there were the Johnny Rockets restaurant and the Marvel store!), but knowing how close it was to the DMZ and North Korea actually scared me, because on the drive to and from Seoul, you could practically see North Korea’s “Fake City” from across the river and there were watch towers along the shore (on the South Korean side obvs).

as someone who used to watch all of your uni vlogs -loved this more informal style! you should do more of these we would love !
