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...

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...

The framework qualifies itself. Either the diagnostic tool works or it doesn't. Either the principles hold up under scrutiny or they don't. You're welcome to critique the actual substance. Show me where causality, character truth, consequence, or thematic meaning aren't core to effective...

The video answers that quite well. That has nothing to do with what I said in the video. It's why I even took the time to break down the different types of deaths.

That falls into Transitional Death, which I said I'd explore more in the next video. Or, well... Transitional or Reversible stuff, depending on execution and context.

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...

I agree, though I feel the "flair" of publishing would be destroyed no matter what. Amazon was going to do what someone would do because it's practical. And, as I made clear, no era is without its problems. Someone would try to solve that problem in whatever way, as the existence of...

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.

The "sometimes" thing is the reason why I'm starting to make diagnostic flow charts and decision trees. I feel it's too vague and I'm hoping to give concrete means to navigate these things.

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.

Next phase in things!

Fair! I'm still working on blending the two, particularly with stories. I recognize the potential in it for much higher scaling.

I don't have time to read, given all I'm working on, but I will answer this on slow burn real quick, after having put some thought into it. A slow-burning experience exploits these 4 psychological principles: anticipation, delayed gratification, emotional intimacy/thematic depth, and trust in...

Hence why I said "11-step process." This is the essential stages of worldbuilding. This is all a writer actually needs. If you want to go beyond that, as I said in the video, I'll be covering more of that in Tier 2 and Tier 3. Still, hierarchy wise, this is the 3 things that's most important to...

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.

What don't you understand? I'm more than happy to do my best clearing whatever up. And preferring slow over fast isn't a problem. See Frieren, for example. It's a matter of context.

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.
