Issues with story predictability? Watch this!

[Story_Marc]

I focused this on the short story, but this touch more into the wider diagnosis. Though I want to go much deeper into what I touched on at the beginning with regards to predictability in its own video beyond the short story.

Anyway, hope this helps and that this format is working well for others. I should have 2 more videos this week, since I wrote 10 scripts last week and recorded 4 on Saturday. I just haven't had much time between other things since, you know, day job and all that. I'll be able to go into focus state once Thursday hits.

Yeah because most readers drop stories whose plots they cannot predict because they feel alienated by it and unsafe. Readers want the story to go how they think it should go. This is why crazy endings, plot twists, or beloved characters dying is so hated by readers, they dont want the story to stop being what they think it should be.

...I'm guessing you didn't watch what I said given what I said at the beginning about good predictability and bad predictability...
