    Issues with story predictability? Watch this!

    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...

    Does your short story feel pointless? Here's the problem.

    Hmm... This actually sounds like it taps into a potential issue I bring up in a different video you'll get next week! The "turn" shouldn't be the ending itself and the reason why taps into what I'll speak about in said video I mentioned. Plus, what I broke down with short story structure. More...

    Does your short story feel pointless? Here's the problem.

    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...

    Short Story Case Study: Sherlock Holmes

    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...

    That's an episodic series! I actually plan to go more into series and serial stuff in a few weeks. This is basically the building blocks to something bigger. If that works, that works!

    When Should You Create Short Stories -- The Five Problems Short Stories Solve

    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.

    How to Create Short Stories

    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...

    Why Writers Should Write Short Stories

    Hope you dig the new format! ...Going to make the slides bigger, I wasn't sure on those. The fun thing about short stories is that they can EASILY break that decade-long break... I actually plan to tackle this factor because I maintain that short stories are still useful even to those who are...

    Why Writers Should Write Short Stories

    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...

    @Envylope It's part of why I've reached a point where I'm genuinely considering no longer caring about others and just keeping everything I have to myself... After this weekend, I'm struggling to see why I should give a damn about assisting others when I literally spell out why most people never...

    Why Many Artist Fail (and How To Avoid That Fate)

    For my current work, you'll see what I'm up to starting next week. :s_wink: I... Well, it's stuff I discussed in the past in some other videos and been iterating on. But this is something I'd like to make my job, hence why I work hard on it.

    Why A Lot Of Writing Advice Fails Writers

    Actually, I've been thinking a LOT on critique and working something out for that. I'm just... not done yet. :LOL: But next week will be the first half of that equation, with the creator side. To note, I mostly just wanted to use an example with ensemble thing to show what I meant, not actually...

    Why Many Artist Fail (and How To Avoid That Fate)

    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...

    Why A Lot Of Writing Advice Fails Writers

    Nah, though I don't have any issues with AI like other people do. I'm just like that more when I'm in script mode. It's clear even going back to past videos. And no, summarizing in 2 minutes wouldn't actually explore things and touches into the exact issue I have with shallowness. Though if you...

    Why A Lot Of Writing Advice Fails Writers

    That is EXACTLY the problem I had with so much for so long and what I've always wanted to avert. Of course, as said, it's easier said than done, though I'm feeling more comfortable with it now. Such as, take the opening thing. I personally dislike that advice big time. It's why I took the time...

    Why A Lot Of Writing Advice Fails Writers

    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.
