He isn't. :ROFLMAO: I know what he's talking about since this goes back by months now.

I'm still thinking of a unique angle to make it relevant to writers in general. :LOL:

Do any of you write about characters trying to gain or maintain power? Then you write politics. None of my tips are exclusive to governance. XD Like controlling the narrative or to consider the tension between the public persona and private.

Let's start this set of videos with the oh-so-popular topic of politics! And more importantly, what to consider when writing them.

Opposites attract isn't really all that hard to write. It's just a matter of interest in writing or not. Otherwise, it's just a matter of using the tension points and development stuff I put together. The specifics, the flesh, is whatever someone builds on the basic skeleton. Otherwise, it's as...

Not really. While someone might get better as they go along (though this tends to be a cope), if they screw up early on, people most likely aren't going to be forgiving. If they are forgiving from the start, it's not because they're holding out hope it'll get better; it's because it's delivering...

This is a little something I was working on for romance plotlines. Getting organized helped me pinpoint quite a few things and be conscious of my options when writing romance plotlines. Also, it just makes better marketing. Anyway, this video is more of an overview than when I dive into each...

I received a request for this topic a while back, so it's been on my list to get around to. I'm glad to finally complete it, as it took me some time to think this through. I'm releasing another video tomorrow, so look forward to that. I will also release a new project I've wanted to do...

Here is how I do it.

His advice is his advice. I disagree with it for the reasons I stated, and I likewise pointed to people who succeed if we play the appeal to authority game. It's why people need to learn to think for themselves and understand the logic behind it (and decide if they should reject it or not)...

That's what I aim for. :s_wink: It's also one reason I try to keep my videos shorter if I can. :ROFLMAO:

Yes, do this... if you're doing things like a hobbyist. Which I'm 100% for, I think writing is a great hobby. If you wish to be a professional, this attitude has issues. But before anybody thinks I'm saying you must conform to the audience, no, that's not the lesson. This comes to something...

Glad it could pop up just when you needed it then!

My personal path was to just study people smarter than me who can actually break down stuff and then figure out ways to teach it myself. With that said on the actual writing side, here you go, this can show you tons on how to actually write better. With actual steps, examples, and explanations...

This is a small concept that, while I feel it's fundamental to understand, is constantly overlooked by many. So, here is me spelling this simple thing out.

Find a mentor to study under. Someone you respect and who is willing to help you out will likely help you progress far more than just asking questions here.

That's a serious issue I have with it, too. There are ways to integrate it naturally into a story. ...Hence, the episode. For me, those who toss it in without thinking about these things are like those who just toss in a fight scene for the sake of a fight. It requires as much artistry as any...

Combination of both, though more the latter than the former most likely. I wasn't trying to do anything groundbreaking. Honestly, I seldom try to do anything groundbreaking -- I just find most people are missing tons of pieces as writers, so I share the pieces I have. But regardless, I feel...

Obviously, both, but that goes against the spirit of this. So, with that said, I enjoy spending time with the protagonists more.
