I'm going to be releasing 1 video every single day this week, starting here. This topic is near and dear to my heart for reasons I explore in this episode. Hopefully, it can help you with your writing!

Here you go. One of my 5 foundations for writing prose.

I'll just drop this back in here.

Not bad. I can see plenty of room for improvement, but you've got a decent foundation as a writer going here.

Glad it could help you relax. :s_smile: For your joke, I imagine a couple of things factor in there, such as reference humor playing into things. I agree that setup can help. More I was focused exclusively on character comedy here as opposed to every single branch of comedy. And basic...

I do since banter tends to be important to the caper genre, though there is nothing I consider my "best." I don't consider myself all that funny, despite the fact I get laughs and am told I am. But I don't like to consider myself much of anything most of the time. Regardless, the episode showed...

I'm going to have to push back against this a bit. Humor is subjective, yes, because what makes one person laugh might not even get a smile from another. But that doesn't throw out the fact that there's real skill and craft behind creating humor. Just like any other form of art, humor can be...

Character comedy isn't difficult. You can easily make any character funny if you know what I share in this video that's just about two minutes. And then, if you want further proof of what I'm talking about, look at this video, where I go further into detail about one of the various comedy...

It heavily depends on the story. Though I'll say 3rd person because it can do a lot of what first person can do and then some. And before someone plays the personal card, indirect internal dialogue is a thing that allows for immersion into a character's thoughts. As does a stream of...

Alright, I've read over the first chapter and I've started gathering notes to address everything you've brought up! Do you want me to do things in this thread? Or PM? Or Discord? Since I've quite a bit I can break down first for the issues. When it comes to problem-solving, I dislike telling...

Part of what I did bring up. :ROFLMAO: Someone asked me to discuss the differences between web novels and traditional novels more in a future video, and I think I might do that as it's something I've thought about a lot the last two years.

Tell me when you are and we'll chat. I decided to skim and I'm intrigued what I could recommend here.

I'm tired of seeing people ask this question. So... Here you go!

Wanted to add something to my commentary: you did make a wise decision starting where you did, with that dream, and how you you setup the stakes. While I'm not into it on a personal level, it is a great example of a genre anchor, as I like to call it. Hmm, an interesting challenge. Give me a...

This version of things isn't really my forte (mostly because I think of the canon characters and...that shifts me away immediately), so content-wise, I can't say too much so far. But when it comes to the reading, to start with, this reads really stiff throughout. Something I realized about...

Hey everyone! If we haven't crossed paths before, here's a snapshot of my expertise in writing and storytelling. I'm diving back into offering feedback to writers eager to elevate their work. But before you post, here's the deal: this isn't a free feedback thread. I thrive on mutual support, so...

Here you go, here's advice that goes into actual detail on a lot of things. If you want me to dissect your actual work and apply stuff, I can, but I don't do that stuff for free anymore. I could go through helping you improve as a writer if in a trade type scenario where reading my work...

Show, don't tell isn't bad necessarily, most people are just incompetent at actually teaching it because they're just repeating a commonly said phrase as opposed to understanding it. Here is it explained competently. Though yes, I DO agree that show, don't tell is bad advice since there are...
