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...

So, over the last week I created a whole diagnostic of the many issues I've noticed with these and how to solve them. I'm going to be releasing it across the rest of April before I shift focus to serials and series. It's just important to do this first because people who can't handle the micro...

I put this together as a follow-up to breaking down how short stories work, with this as a more episodic example. Plus wanted to give a clear case study, just spreading stuff out more. I've another which will probably release tomorrow or Thursday -- we'll see, depends on what I do today. Anyway...

One simple, quick tip I build on and forth here! Fourth video I made this week, getting more and more into the flow lately with new setup. Hope this can help!

Newest entry in all this work I've been doing focused on shortform, regarding when it should be done. With webnovelist types, this is particularly useful given stuff I plan to discuss soon with series and serials. Regardless, hopefully this helps and adds to what I've been doing lately.

The newest one I put together, working through what clicked with me when writing short stories and getting the format down. Next one will be on "when should you write short stories" since I don't feel it should inherently be used as a tool. I view it as a solution to a specific set of problems...

Alright, back at things in full! I have a lot of videos setup now since I refined my workflow and am able to just relax and make smaller things quicker and so on. Can thank short stories for one of these reasons. They're surprisingly great for handling burnout, as I mention in another video I'll...

As I bring up in the video, artist counts for not just visual creators, but anyone who fits the definition of an artist I mention in it. So if you're an author, you're an artist. Just a subclass of artist. Anyway, this one helped me get down a lot and the result of clarifying a lot of thinking...

This is something I've thought about a lot, when watching writing advice, considering own stuff done in the past, and just... well, this is my current thoughts about it all. Maybe it puts into words what others have experienced. I am curious what people think on this one.

So, as I mentioned, I've divided what I'm focusing on in different fronts. When it comes to writing craftsmanship stuff, I'm putting that more into articles. With that in mind, here is the first article I've released this year: how to create an ensemble. I've an accompanying diagnostic I'll...

First video of this year with part of a pivot. I wish to focus more on the creative mind and developing it more. This is something I've been thinking about a lot with being a modern creative.

Here is the next in the series of openings I've identified! Hope this helps, it's been interesting exploring all of these.

So, last week I did the more "Action-oriented" openings that many think about. This week, I'm tackling openings for stories where things start off mundane for the protagonist and it becomes more grand as things go on. Two down, three to go.

This is something I've thought about a lot and I'm feeling confident about what I've put forward. Hopefully it can help!

Tackled this due to a request for help, and I framed it around this topic for the YouTube game. Regardless, my foundation for writing redemption stories given in this and so on. Hope it helps out!

Here we go, I followed up on The Bad Place with this one now. Had a fun time dissecting what I did. I kind of want to make some battle related stuff using this, but that's future me's problem. Regardless, hope this helps out! And Happy Halloween! The next one is... going to be me tackling...

I'm building a list of future topics again, since I feel confident tackling so many things now after improving my methodology this year. Is there anything in particular someone wants me to dissect and discuss? Right now I'm planning on tackling some stuff like isekai, more stuff on fight scenes...

This was fun putting together! Got to do some deep dives into horror and so forth. Plus, I'm confident in the systems I built from this. Tell me what you think and if it helps. Also, I'm nearly set for what's coming next after I finish one more horror entry.

And with this video, I completed the taxonomy of deaths in storytelling series I... accidentally stumbled into. This one was genuinely the hardest out of the set, but I think I cracked this one. Hopefully... Full playlist here if you want all four types of deaths explored: If you can think of...

Next part in me tackling deaths in fiction! This one was fun working things out with, since I ended up looking at plenty of examples I didn't get to mention, such as Batman: Brave & The Bold's episode with the introduction of The Flash. It only clicked with me yesterday after I had already...
