When I had doubts, I did what people do in any other field: I trained.

Just wanted to say, I'm super curious about what you could do for some Urban African Fantasy. I feel there's a market for it.

Huh, why does it haunt you? Looking at your titles, I can say I really like them since there's a colorfulness to them. I feel they are fitting for a story called "Charisma."

I'm glad to hear it! :biggrin_s: And thanks for saying as much, especially since I've been trying to improve with every video! I like this thinking! It sounds like a good example of borrowing and stealing interest. Can you share a few examples? I'm curious to see what the end result looks like!

Wanted to do something simple after all that prose stuff. So, want some stuff to get you thinking on ways you can name stuff? Here you go! If you want to vote on what the next video is, pop over to my community tab and give a vote. The choices for this week are... 1) Character analysis...

I use this approach I call "layering." I once made a video on it, but I hate the video, so I'm not linking it. Regardless, first I outline the chapter. Then I write all of the dialogue while leaving notes for myself. So it looks kind of like this... Then when I make a later pass, I do far...

Just message me on Discord at storymarc.

I'm making one right now, but that's a work in progress. Regardless, I'm willing to hear you out and help where I can if you do want to chat. And when it comes to ideology, I honestly don't care what you make.

I started writing at first because I just wanted to have fun in these duels and... I guess I just felt drawn to it and the desire to create stories. Then I started delving more into it to develop unique skills for a different ambition I once had within entertainment. As I kept working on it and...

I've always been told that brains were my most attractive feature. Never thought it be in this way though. XD

This week completes the 5 part series I made for helping writers who are interested in learning what I know about prose. This is the one I was most looking forward to, cadence. If you're someone who is looking for direction beyond "just write," this (and the entire series) is my way of paying...

Sure! Just give me a few days. I'm a liar. I took a look at The Hunter and it grabbed me immediately. So, first up, it gets my thumbs up. The first line hooked me and you handled the opening line with dialogue well. I've seen so many do it poorly, but you did it right, having someone else start...

Cassidy's official job is corporate Ambassador within her family business. To be precise, she's part of the Public Relations Department. She's the public face while her mother runs the actual company and she officially answers to her. Also represents the company in multiple ways, such as...

Oh yeah, agreed big time there! I so need to get to making a video on all I can offer on this topic... But later, one thing at a time.

Yes, that can help, though it doesn't teach anything about applying it artistically. I'd recommend it, but I doubt it alone will lead to breakthroughs for people who are seeking greater insight. But that's just my experience with such advice in a vacuum.

I shared this elsewhere before, I'll copy it here. I'm not saying you have to do it this way, I'm just providing a bit of info. I recommend doing whatever resonates with you most. Everything else, well, I'd recommend getting started first to get stuff down, then seek help from someone you...

I was going to stay out of this since I can say a lot on this subject, but I feel the urge to add a little something. Overall, there are two types of fight scenes in fiction: entertaining and gritty. Think of this as the fight's tone. There can be a mix, but... we'll worry about that later. If...
