    How to Make Parodies

    And that sums up the curse of knowledge. :LOL: It's something I once struggled with (and sometimes fear I still do.) Like, for me, I figure if someone is asking, I should do my best to help them as much as I can. I want to give significant help. So, for instance, let's say I'm discussing theme...

    How to Make Parodies

    Without going into details, I'll just say there's a lot of info here you're not working with. It's part of why I didn't ask anybody if I should, I just said I'm likely doing this.

    How to Make Parodies

    Eh, examples without context or direction of what to look at can do more harm, imo. If it was that easy, it would click with everybody instantly. Anybody can see the what, but most can't explain the how and the why. Something I've come to appreciate over time is the fact I can (and if I can't...

    How to Make Parodies

    @Tsuru I've my thoughts on why, though I imagine my thoughts are clouded by my own biases. I can say value factors in though. Most people just care about what immediate gratification they can gain. It is what it is. I just often hope stuff works out for people in the long run. At any rate, I'm...

    How to Make Parodies

    A bit on how to write parodies that work for those who are interested in the actual "how" instead of just the "what." The artistry and skill behind the best parodies are absolutely beautiful. If you're interested in learning how you can do things like this, I recommend this video. Also, I might...

    Internal Genres: The Different Types of Character Arcs

    Almost forgot to put this here for those it might help. This is my way of going even deeper into character arcs, beyond just positive, flat, and negative. Hopefully it can help out those who are interested, especially when combined with my video on external conflicts. This combined with that can...

    What's the point?

    I've been there before. I'd say it depends on what motivates you to begin with. There's part of me that has the fun part. I love shaping words to get across my ideas. The second thing that worked for me specifically was my pride as a creator and my desire to not live a life of regret. I run into...

    I read Stephen King's On Writing

    Times like this makes me glad I make videos so I don't have to type out the stuff I'd say. There are multiple variants on how one can pants and outline as well. Like, I outline the macro and pants the micro. Though I lean heavily toward outlining.

    Procrastination Struggles

    Despite my desire to put off this video, I made it. I made this one specifically for writers who procrastinate. I hope my logic throughout comes across as sound and the actionable steps feel right for you specifically. There's still some stuff I left out ultimately when putting this together...

    What's your favorite thing about writing?

    My favorite thing about it is how I feel when I create. I feel in my element. That I'm doing what I'm meant to do.

    Writing Strengths and Weaknesses

    When it comes to weaknesses, it's mastering the art of short stories. I know what to do, I just need to practice it more. As for strengths, honestly, I have no clue where to begin. I'm not at the heights I wish to be yet (I wish to achieve a state of mastery), but I am at a stage where I'm...

    Am I the only one who prefer really long anime?

    One Piece shouldn't be watched... ...It should be read. Then you don't have to worry about pacing issues overall until you get caught up and you need your next fix. There's something everybody who reads One Piece knows. There are only two sides to One Piece: either it's over 1000 chapters and...

    In praise of Word

    I enjoy using Word as well. I've Office 365 or whatever it's called, so I love things like being able to access my documents when I'm on the go. Plus, I've nice plugins like Grammarly Premium.

    [CLOSED] A Horny Feedback Thread

    Hmm... The timing of this is amusing given the experiment I just did. Okay, I offer you two pieces of flash fiction I did for some writing experiments. Breakfast in Bed The Ache of Absence

    Would you read this solely on the cover and title?

    No. I feel if someone presents stuff like that, they aren't worth my time because I doubt they care about my experience as a reader.

    Your opinion on round brackets(parenthesis) in original stories?

    There are ways to pull it off, but as a whole, most don't need it. I could go into detail on when and how, but eh, I don't feel like it right now. :ROFLMAO: I got cleaning to do. I might elaborate a bit more later.

    This week I decided to tackle external conflicts! I look forward to combining this one in the future with the internal genres. And I'm positive this will play a major part in whatever course or process or whatever I build. Regardless, in the meantime, here we go: I hope this helps you out!

    Anyone got any stories that aren't isekai or fan related

    Yes, I do. Click the link in my signature to see if you'd be interested. I write something that isn't the typical web novel experience. And I have one completed novel on top of releasing the newest book right now.

    How Viable Is Your Story Idea?

    Another Sunday, another video! This time around I'm giving the overall guidelines for judging if your idea is good or not. Use the knowledge as you wish. Or not or so on. This one is very much an overview and there's so much more depth I can go into in each topic. If you want to have a say in...
