...CRAP, I COULD'VE DONE THAT FOR THE THUMBNAIL! :ROFLMAO: Anyway, glad to hear that with the opening as it was an idea I felt like experimenting with a bit more.

I'm now making my way through my high-priority videos, so if I do quit, I can do so without regrets. In this one, I go over the 10 emotions that audiences actively seek out and how to create them. Also managed to touch a bit more on a question I was once asked on how to write funny. I actually...

Given that part of what I write is mysteries and Cassidy's the granddaughter of a great detective who trained her, I'm comfortable saying yes.

Honestly, the thing I see most is people assuming they know how to write well because they watched something and have ideas.

I'm going to step in to add one little bit of advice that can often lead people astray. Yes, every character is the protagonist of their own story. However, the author should know who the protagonist of this story is. All characters shouldn't be equals. Why not? I made this video discussing...

And that sums up the curse of knowledge. :LOL: It's something I once struggled with (and sometimes fear I still do.) Like, for me, I figure if someone is asking, I should do my best to help them as much as I can. I want to give significant help. So, for instance, let's say I'm discussing theme...

Without going into details, I'll just say there's a lot of info here you're not working with. It's part of why I didn't ask anybody if I should, I just said I'm likely doing this.

Eh, examples without context or direction of what to look at can do more harm, imo. If it was that easy, it would click with everybody instantly. Anybody can see the what, but most can't explain the how and the why. Something I've come to appreciate over time is the fact I can (and if I can't...

@Tsuru I've my thoughts on why, though I imagine my thoughts are clouded by my own biases. I can say value factors in though. Most people just care about what immediate gratification they can gain. It is what it is. I just often hope stuff works out for people in the long run. At any rate, I'm...

A bit on how to write parodies that work for those who are interested in the actual "how" instead of just the "what." The artistry and skill behind the best parodies are absolutely beautiful. If you're interested in learning how you can do things like this, I recommend this video. Also, I might...

Almost forgot to put this here for those it might help. This is my way of going even deeper into character arcs, beyond just positive, flat, and negative. Hopefully it can help out those who are interested, especially when combined with my video on external conflicts. This combined with that can...

I've been there before. I'd say it depends on what motivates you to begin with. There's part of me that has the fun part. I love shaping words to get across my ideas. The second thing that worked for me specifically was my pride as a creator and my desire to not live a life of regret. I run into...

Times like this makes me glad I make videos so I don't have to type out the stuff I'd say. There are multiple variants on how one can pants and outline as well. Like, I outline the macro and pants the micro. Though I lean heavily toward outlining.

Despite my desire to put off this video, I made it. I made this one specifically for writers who procrastinate. I hope my logic throughout comes across as sound and the actionable steps feel right for you specifically. There's still some stuff I left out ultimately when putting this together...

My favorite thing about it is how I feel when I create. I feel in my element. That I'm doing what I'm meant to do.

When it comes to weaknesses, it's mastering the art of short stories. I know what to do, I just need to practice it more. As for strengths, honestly, I have no clue where to begin. I'm not at the heights I wish to be yet (I wish to achieve a state of mastery), but I am at a stage where I'm...

One Piece shouldn't be watched... ...It should be read. Then you don't have to worry about pacing issues overall until you get caught up and you need your next fix. There's something everybody who reads One Piece knows. There are only two sides to One Piece: either it's over 1000 chapters and...

I enjoy using Word as well. I've Office 365 or whatever it's called, so I love things like being able to access my documents when I'm on the go. Plus, I've nice plugins like Grammarly Premium.

Hmm... The timing of this is amusing given the experiment I just did. Okay, I offer you two pieces of flash fiction I did for some writing experiments. Breakfast in Bed The Ache of Absence

No. I feel if someone presents stuff like that, they aren't worth my time because I doubt they care about my experience as a reader.
