Olivia Grace Cook - Invidious

Hey, I'm Olivia! I share writing diaries, literary essays, & cozy lifestyle vlogs. ✨

I'm a twenty-something writer living on the central coast of California. After earning my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing, I'm currently revising my debut novel, PROJECT AMARANTH: a high fantasy/adventure-quest story set in a world of myth, magic, and mystery.

Here on this cozy corner of the internet, I share about all things books, creativity, travel, and writing. By documenting my writing journey and sharing literary breakdowns of my favorite stories, my goal is to inspire and encourage you on your own creative journey.

Grab a cup of tea and stick around for a while!

Hey friends! I’m mapping out my video schedule for the next few months. Maybe you can help me out...what kind of videos would you like to see more of on my channel in 2026?

(Feel free to comment any specific video requests, as well!)

Hey friends! Since wrapping up the full draft of Project Amaranth, I've spent the last few weeks exploring and plotting out a brand-new writing project: the SEQUEL!

Obviously I vlogged the whole thing so we could do it together! 🫶 So, in my latest writing vlog, I'm sharing the full behind-the-scenes process of how I turned my ideas into a structured outline—including gathering ideas, writing a synopsis, and creating a full “plot grid” style outline. Grab a cuppa tea and let's jump into it!

P.S. Cast your vote! Which code name should I use for the Project Amaranth sequel? 👇

🌑 Project OBSIDIAN
🌙 Project CRESCENT
👀 Something else entirely (Share your idea below!)

For most of us writers, coming up with ideas is the easy part. You have a story idea, you're excited about it—but how in the world do you actually get the story out of your head and onto paper?

In my latest video, I’ve put together my 10 best practical, productive tips for how to (actually) get the writing done! I hope this inspires you to jump back into your novel. 🫶

Cheers!
