- I'm trying to move out the camera bit because a lot of comments ask me to. "Please, can I be further away from your face this website?"
Okay. Noted. (bubbling) Hi, I'm Clare, and welcome back to my YouTube channel. First if all, I had a poll on last week's video where I asked you what you wanted to see this week, and I know that you all voted to see my dressed as Ariana Grande for a week, but I'm gonna need a little more time to get that video finished. I started the challenge, I guess you could call it, and I realized it's not gonna be a true effort unless I get hair extensions. So, I'm gonna get some hair extensions, and then we're gonna try this again. And I'm gonna dress like Ariana Grande for a full week. So, today, what I have for you is an announcement/story time. As you can tell by the title of this video, I am crowdfunding a book. But the story of The Irish Bucket List, as a book, started almost exactly three years ago. I posted a Vlogmas video in December 2015 where I cataloged myself, very subtly, going to a meeting with the book publisher, which I say in the video "I'm going to a meeting about a book." And then after the meeting, I filmed myself in my car being like "I have no news to share, whatsoever." So, I've just finished my third meeting there, and I have absolutely no news to report, whatsoever. No news, whatsoever. (screams) Real subtle stuff. (sighs) A while later, I posted another video where I called my dad with the good news, and this video was me announcing that The Irish Bucket List, a series that I have had on YouTube for years, is finally going to made into a travel book. (phone rings) Oh dad, come on. - [Clare's Dad] Hello! - Hello, Dad! Yes, Irish Bucket List is actually gonna be a book! - [Clare's Dad] Oh ho! Woo! - Blackwater Press is a small Irish publishing house, family owned and run, that had worked with a number of big Irish Youtubers. They had done Makeup Fairy's book, they had done two books with So Sue Me, and they had done a book, most recently, before I met them, with @sineadycady, TheMakeupChair, who I mentioned in my last video as well if you wanna go check that out. So, the book was to be based on my YouTube series, called The Irish Bucket List, where I traveled around Ireland doing all of the cool things there is to do. We were going to include a hundred different activities in the book. So, I had about a year to write the book. One memory sticks out clearly for me around writing this book. One came as a location tour on a bus that was bringing us to all the different scenes and locations. And on that bus, I was typing my little heart out on my little Chromebook, and then I would get off the bus and shoot footage for my episode that was going to be going up in a week to two.
