    What writing exercises do you guys practice?

    Hmm... I can say a lot on this, but here's the tiny bit I'll toss out. 1) Seek Understanding above all else. As in, you don't want to just have knowledge of something. Knowing about something and knowing how to use that information, when to use it, and why are two different things. It's like...

    What advantages do novels have over other mediums?

    Immersion and internalization. More with character voice stuff and getting into it with internal dialogue and so on, it's the greatest strength that other mediums can't replicate to the same level.

    The 3 approaches to world-building explained.

    I'll tag in for this one! What he mentioned isn't the only three approaches. In fact, there are different ways to do one approach: free design. What you brought up is my preferred approach, fixed design. There's also found design, which I often use. With that in mind, he is 100% correct about...

    How to Spot Bad Criticism

    Hence why I said what I did in the video about "delusional" people and broke down actual clear signs to look out for to judge if something is destructive or not. That said, I'm going to return to the concept of delusion and how to determine whether oneself is the problem. It is a product...

    Romance Plotlines

    Opposites attract isn't really all that hard to write. It's just a matter of interest in writing or not. Otherwise, it's just a matter of using the tension points and development stuff I put together. The specifics, the flesh, is whatever someone builds on the basic skeleton. Otherwise, it's as...

    How to Avoid Failing Your Audience

    Not really. While someone might get better as they go along (though this tends to be a cope), if they screw up early on, people most likely aren't going to be forgiving.
