I got interested in this since previous death stuff since, in my current taxonomy, four types of death in storytelling. This one interested me the most to tackle next because of Yu Yu Hakusho. Had a fun time with this, I kind of want to come up with a way to use this in the future. Anyway, hope...

Putting this out here today, alongside a new hybrid for my video aesthetic. I hope you find this helpful, especially since I've been enjoying creating these diagnostic systems. I believe it helps simplify and reduce cognitive load when implementing things and judging one's own work. I've been a...

My expanding thoughts on the literature world as we move closer to the future! This is something I intend to expand on, but I wanted to document this as a starting point for some observations and thoughts.

So, I worked hard this weekend creating this diagnostic test for writers to engage with. Plus, it's the answer to how I'd judge a magic system and if I'd say it works well or not. If you want to see how yours measures up and why, give it a try. It's a simple yes-or-no question throughout.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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...

Newest video after taking a 1 week break to avoid burnout. Next up, I'm finally discussing plotting as I've wanted. At any rate, hope this one helps out!

Here we go, two parter for the antagonist essentials I've worked out. I released the one last week, this is the second half.

I hate that I had to split this into parts. I worked hard on what I designed this week. Regardless, this is the next part in my character construction breakdown, with me now tackling antagonism. Hope this all can help you out with your stories!

This was a satisfying pain in the ass to work out. I was so happy that... Well, here's a peek behind the scenes from this week. This is the refinement of everything I've done with character construction. There is much more I can do, but I am positive that these are the 6 things you wish to...

Tackling a bit on creating a series this week! Laying the foundation for so much I wish I had known in the past.

I've been thinking a lot about the common issues I often see with writers and working with so much information. This is my attempt to streamline a strong foundation for everything else. I still have much to do, but this is the thing I'd recommend anybody who wants to write does first, whether...
