I so need to decrease the pause between some words when working in Descript. But that aside, I tackle prologues in this one and I realized I should start making diagnostic flow charts and decision trees to help people navigate decisions with writing better.

These are the patterns I've noticed and am sharing with those who want to see more.

Next phase in things!

Fair! I'm still working on blending the two, particularly with stories. I recognize the potential in it for much higher scaling.

I don't have time to read, given all I'm working on, but I will answer this on slow burn real quick, after having put some thought into it. A slow-burning experience exploits these 4 psychological principles: anticipation, delayed gratification, emotional intimacy/thematic depth, and trust in...

Hence why I said "11-step process." This is the essential stages of worldbuilding. This is all a writer actually needs. If you want to go beyond that, as I said in the video, I'll be covering more of that in Tier 2 and Tier 3. Still, hierarchy wise, this is the 3 things that's most important to...

I'm finally doing this now, since I feel ready for it. Here's the worldbuilding method I came up with, starting with the first three essentials, if you want to stop at this point.

What don't you understand? I'm more than happy to do my best clearing whatever up. And preferring slow over fast isn't a problem. See Frieren, for example. It's a matter of context.

This is less my "writer" side at play and more my psychology side coming out more. It's stuff I think a lot of creators would benefit from hearing with this one.

I got asked a question about pacing a few months ago and figured I'd create this video to explain what I taught the person. I wish I put more of my science side into this, since what I worked on draws from things like Kahneman's Attention & Effort as well as Yerkes-Dodson Law. But regardless...

3 part series starting that works as an overview for some stuff I wish to focus on more.

I actually have more... Hmm... This is something I'll elaborate on more since I feel we're on the same page in truth, there's just more to things I haven't gone into.

Oh yeah, because I removed them. I need to remove 1 other soon, but I'll get to it. Changing my entire signature soon with new developments. Though thanks for pointing it out!

Sounds like you fall into the Hedonist Egoist class I mentioned! Thinking big is a starting point! I feel there's more to it, but it is a foundation.

A little something that's been on my mind, curious what others think.

1) “Too much competition. Too many books being published every day” There’s always been competition. The difference is that before, competition was artificially limited by gatekeepers. A publisher or studio decided whether you even got to compete. Today, everyone has the opportunity to put their...

Alright, I'm fully back on track now. Been super busy working on an ambitious project as well as working 12-hour work days (and trying not to lose my sanity with the latter). Regardless, here's a little something I put together to put into perspective how great this time is for writers.

Focus on problem-solving. The theme will emerge organically from the problems you choose to focus on and how they are solved.

This is a little something that's been eating at me for weeks now, after I rethought how best to approach teaching The Enneagram and cracked something with my writing. So, I'm passing this along.

I finally started tackling plotting as I've wanted, for those who actively want to hear stuff beyond "I do whatever I want" or "I make it up as I go," and other notions that don't care about anybody besides oneself. With this one, I went for the most barebones stuff as, with a lot of things...
