I'd argue that is the result of self-indulgence, which I'll discuss far more in next week's episode. Disney Marvel and Disney Star Wars have suffered big time due to self-indulgence, which interferes with resonance since certain things I mention in this video, particularly with what storytelling...

Recent! Based on my IRL appearance, per the usual.

This is one of the various articles I've built on my site, which I wish to bring over here. Introduction In the early 20th century, pulp fiction magazines dominated newsstands, packed with thrilling, fast-paced stories designed to entertain the masses—writers like Robert E. Howard (Conan the...

Understandable there! A part of me wishes I could still do the smaller videos, but I've learned my lesson from how people act and what YouTube wants. No matter though, I've the website for things like that now.

New video out now! I tackle a couple of things that will make sense of several things, including the idea of storytelling rules and how they aren't even frameworks like some people often say. I define what stories are and what storytelling is, tackle the key to success with writing, etc.

Sorry, but what I did before was an exclusive event. I seldom give feedback for free anymore, barring exceptions like above when I was amused by this old thread being resurrected. That said, I'll be releasing far more stuff to help writers again, if you wish to follow that, and I will start...

If you want other tips, follow my content. Or commission me for consulting if you wish to customize advice. :s_wink: As I said, I was humoring. The audacity of resurrecting this old thread amused me.

That sounds like the actions of an insecure writer.

...I'm going to humor this since it's almost March 1st, when I launch everything. So, there's quite a bit of good here, but I'm noticing a bit of pacing issues, tone issues, and unnecessary bloat which makes the prose feel heavier than necessary. 1. Pacing Drag at the Start – The opening...

Still do. :ROFLMAO: But I'm excited for it all.

I know it isn't. :LOL: It doesn't go online until March 1st -- the same day as my YouTube return. I did say I'm preparing the site.

I'm right here. :s_wink: I have been keeping people updated in the YouTube community tab. So, for those who don't know, I purchased a website near the end of last year. There is a LOT I wish to cover and do to help others elevate their writing, and I needed the proper infrastructure for it. So...

I studied and practiced a lot. And made videos breaking down concepts to force myself to understand them better.

Though I'm not perfect, I tend to follow through on my New Year resolutions. I've gotten better at it over these last few years. Really, since 2021 when I got pissed off near the end of the year and made sure to get certain things in motion no matter how much it sucked, starting with the...

Plenty of differences, honestly. Plus it helps to think of the audiences a bit differently at times (depending on the genre), since they can serve differing needs. First, you'll hear people say "rules" because they're thinking about it in a conventional manner. This is the wrong way to think...

This has been on my mind for about a week now, since my last IRL writing group meeting. So, figured I'd open up a bit about what I've been thinking about. Curious what others think. Also, experimenting with a new format.

There are quite a few differences, though it's something I'll be going into soon. It's why in the guide I'm building, I devote a whole section to the differences between each of the conflicts. That and similarities.

Man, if only there was some smart and handsome writer who has already tackled this beyond surface-level observations...

I will cover all variants of The Lover sooner or later. :s_wink:

I've been thinking on this more during the week and, building on what I mention in this about genre blending, I'm wondering if it might be best to make a whole section of setting as a genre separate from plot. Like how Star Wars has a Sci-Fi genre (and I can get more specific if I think on it...
