Next part in my whole system

Next part on my whole character creation process, where I break down why I use this in particular.

Another comedy archetype in my whole mission to explore character comedy! With this, another week complete. If you want to see the schedule for videos, check my YouTube community tab. I'll have 4 videos again next week.

I haven't broken those parts down yet, so it makes sense to be hesitant. I haven't shown the whole picture, just one puzzle piece. At most, I'd say to hear me out when I explain its function in this system. Then, disregard it entirely if it doesn't work for you.

Been meaning to get to this, to follow up off of what I mentioned with my character creation system and go into the background stuff. So, good starting point here. Hope this helps as I find archetypes and the like to be super helpful starting points.

I wish so many explained this better as... Just I seldom run into people who handle this in a satisfactory manner online.

A little something I put together for Pantsers. I have more tips, but will see if there's an interest in this topic or not.

I... think I understand? So, first, xianxia, you just don't like it from the sounds of it. Which I totally get -- I find most people who write it boring as well personally. I say just don't write the genre. Also, you want to make a revenge story, right? But you're struggling to figure out how...

Nah, I don't care about dialect-related stuff. I mean more reading comprehension skills.

Sadly. :blob_facepalm: I'm far more critical of native speakers who don't know the language than non-native speakers.

As a native English speaker, I'll give you props for being multi-lingual though. While I do possess a strong grasp of the language, I know I'd sound like an absolute fool in any other language.

Ahhh, the realm of traditional novels! Okay, time for me to step in. For length, it depends on the genre. If you want a default area to aim for, though, 80,000 to 90,000 words. And no, you don't want to go too big early on. People who tell you length doesn't matter don't know how the...

You're not. XD I'm doing the best I can with that. Some videos will definitely be harder on people there -- which I apologize for -- but my more recent work should be better. I would recommend turning on subtitles as well if I'm still difficult for you to understand when I'm doing videos.

That's fair! I think part of why I care to go into it is because I know so many don't know what makes up luck and might feel discouraged. Hence what I'll do in... um... a week or two from now, maybe.

I hate to say this, but... there's a bit more to Twilight's success that made it the right time. There are layers that are deeper than just luck, which I think is the easy, surface-level explanation. For instance, there's... something Twilight does that many others have done that works well with...

I'd argue a lot, but from my heavily biased perspective, obsession is a big difference-maker. I don't mean that in a "it's all that is one's life" type of way, but it involves pushing further beyond where most people are motivated to go. This has been the difference maker I've seen in many...

What do you need help on in particular?

Here's the next in this series I've been making, with the bumbling authority comedy archetype. For those following along, this is now 3 out of 40 up. Hope you enjoy this and that this can prove useful somehow.

I mean, there are kind of right answers/contexts which are better. Anyway, for flashbacks, you typically want to stay consistent, but it depends on how you set things up. Like, speaking from experience, for my 2nd book, I've been writing 3rd person. So I stick to it. When I do my first...
