You give me motivation❤❤👍👍👏👏

Hey dude 👋 need your opinion, so I'm worried about plagiarism I'm not actively doing it but I read alot and some of sentences just stuck with me ,and the structure so the line is; the first thing he saw was xyz but the next xyz would this be plagiarism?.(An author I read uses this structure often)

I want to start but I really have a problem with wording my sentences and how the characters move and express themselves while they talk! I’ve tried time and time again but it always ends up so stale, dry and convoluted.

Thanks mate. I needed it.

I appreciate you giving examples. It really helps this new writers.😊

Writers can learn so much from each other. Channels like Ray and others care about other writers. When you hit a wall that is writers block it can seem to last longer than we care to admit. When I had doughs it helped to stop writing and read more and come back another time. This could be weeks months. If writers block is haunting you, I try to think of new ideas for my next novel. During the time of being absent from writing my novels, I came up with a new idea for a new book, so long as your always writing and creating its a good day. When I write its like a film being played out in my head. Its interesting how you really cant teach prose, it just comes out of your head. If your a pantser, I found it stopped me writing, so I became and outliner and started writing again. so now writing day to day I fly between the two when the writing is going good I find its more freeing to be both

Thanks for good encouragement!

thanks!

I'm going to start writing today

Yes! Yes! Yes!….thanks 😃👍📚

Ahhh, this is the sight I've been looking for. Thanks!

3:01 This is what so many modern fiction writers are missing. They merely type (as mentioned previously) and make short sentences that are supposedly more “digestible,” but rarely make anything beautiful. Do not fret the length of a sentence, it can be looked over with proper grammar and true, coherent beauty!

I’ll try :)

this compilation is pure gold. almost all advices are practical and applicable for my style of writing. thank you for this

I like collecting names. End credits of old TV shows are a great source.

"Maybe I'm starting to defrost like a Christmas turkey"... Great videos, I took some notes cos I found your intuitions interesting. Well, about the last simile you mentioned the thing is that dead fish degrades and its aspect becomes uglier and more disgusting in a shorter amount of time compared with the natural decaying process of the human body once it's dead; probably Dickens' aim here is also to highlight the egoism and avidity of Marley's character, in the sense that his misery as a human attached to money may look like a bad lobster in a dark cellar (the cellar being a sort of soul's prison, such as money and lust for collecting it).

Hey I'm actually trying to become a writer myself and i was curious what is ur viewpoint on what i do. Usually in the stories i write, i always begin speaking about the weather and the season. I dunno if thats bad or should i start differently?

❤❤❤

I'm writing in first person since I tend to go ham with the purple in 3rd person.

8:43 Better than most Hollywood junk these days. 5/5, two thumbs up, golden popcorn bucket! Useful Information. Thanks!

The egg one is genius!

If you want to make a teaching point about a teenager, I think it’s appropriate to describe teenage development then put your point across to tell/teach the audience. I think they’ll have a better understanding of the lesson being taught

I wanna become a writer I want world to know me my name is luna and thank you for your motivation my first book will be .trap in darkness.😊

i will give it a go

Thank you

@3:28 this tip was so useful for me. it's been my missing piece

My current work is a broken piano that I've caught instead of dodging, when it came through the roof behind me, so I could work up some muscles trying to lift it. I'm pretty sure the internal mechanisms don't work and can't be repaired, but I'm polishing the outside up anyway, for practice. When it's done, I'll put it in the corner on display, and as long as no one tries to actually play it, it'll probably look decent enough. For a first novel anyway. :) And you're right - I might discover the right tools to fix the inside of it one day. You never know. But it's ok if I don't. I'll be better at polishing the next thing, either way.

I always love the way you explain things with intricate examples. Loved this!

Miblart and Getcovers are absolutely phenomenal. I use them and the covers are immaculate.

Thanks for this, good timing!

I love these essays you do. This one hit. Thanks.

Great video, and one I think a lot of us need to be reminded of--and I don't see a lot of people talking about it. I believe every story can work. At some point. Sometimes you have to step away for a while.

Helpful. Encouraging. Motivating. Thank you.

I just got stuck in my story. This video came in perfect time!

Thank you

Thanks for this. You really got my mind thinking.

The water is cold at first, but it’ll warm up quickly. Thank you for this video! I want to start my story that I have so many ideas for and I wrote a few pages but never knew how to continue. I’m going to get back into it, thank you!

Your video is perfectly timed.

I am starting my story today!

Show don't tell ?

I have 35 published novels, have been both an editor and a literary agent, and still learned a great deal from your video. Thank you for thought provoking content on subjects that usually aren't touched upon in writing advice.

Paragraphs are maps of intent. This should be a whole video.

Tq for the idea bro i also like you i have no idea and my mind was full of distrubance after watch your video it was full of outcomes and new idea was created in my mind tnx

Your words are moving and encouraging. This little soul is grateful you didn’t quit.

16:19 George RRMartin categorises writers as architects and gardeners. He says both approached are fine if they work for people, but he considers himself a gardener. I'm not sure if I agree with the short story one. He assumes shorts are easier. They're not. Novels leave more room for mistakes and being longwinded. Shorts require IMMENSE self-discipline, being economic with wording, leaving out 99% of your precious lore, cutting out scenes that don't further the plot while novels allow for subplots, digressions. It is a great practice for novels though but more like a trial of fire rather than walking through warm water to prepare you for walking on coals.

1. Agree if it's boring weather. Like "it was raining. There were clouds on the sky". But I writer horror, atmosphere is key. And I make sure the sunset/sunrise, night or weather descriptions are fresh, creative, funny, with captivating metaphors. And I've been publishes 29 times, so people rather like them. But they're short, like a 5-7 line paragraph max and it introduces characters in a in medias res situation. 2. The prologue problem is that people infodump their lore im them. They lecture the reader and it goes on for many, many pages. So readers skip them. It ruins the hook of the story. 3. The advice was against going through the tags with a thesaurus and using "he ejaculated" or "she gurgled" just for the sake of avoiding repetition and sounding smart. No hatm in using screamed when the situation is emotional and calls for screaming. 5. If everything is emphasized with an exclamation mark, then nothing is emphasized. It's just characters with no indoor voice. I think it's fine to pick the most emotional sentence in a dialogue line and put it there. But yeah, it is jarring when you put an ex-mark at the end of epiphanies that are just banal to the reader like "there are muddy footprints! Someone must've come from the inside!" It sounds like the author being in love with their genius. 8 and 9. Same as no 1. Boeing descriptions, agree. But picking specific details can tell a lot about the character. The character's room can tell a lot about what the char is as a person. And again the point is for it to be fresh, creative, with funny, captivating metaphors ir observations. Not - "there was a wardrobe and a chair. A mirror hung on the wall. The floor was made od oak planks."

The beginning has always been the hardest part for me. I used to write so much when I was in my twenties but that has slowed down so much now. I worry I've forgotten how to write, how to describe a scene and I'm so mad at myself for having so many ideas in my head and never getting them all down on paper. I am going to try to use your video as a way of challenging myself to actually get started. Even if I hate it, even if it kills me because it isn't perfect, I'm going for it. I will be back in a month or so and I'll let you know how it went...
