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.

I got asked a question about pacing a few months ago and figured I'd create this video to explain what I taught the person. I wish I put more of my science side into this, since what I worked on draws from things like Kahneman's Attention & Effort as well as Yerkes-Dodson Law. But regardless...

3 part series starting that works as an overview for some stuff I wish to focus on more.

A little something that's been on my mind, curious what others think.

Alright, I'm fully back on track now. Been super busy working on an ambitious project as well as working 12-hour work days (and trying not to lose my sanity with the latter). Regardless, here's a little something I put together to put into perspective how great this time is for writers.

This is a little something that's been eating at me for weeks now, after I rethought how best to approach teaching The Enneagram and cracked something with my writing. So, I'm passing this along.

I finally started tackling plotting as I've wanted, for those who actively want to hear stuff beyond "I do whatever I want" or "I make it up as I go," and other notions that don't care about anybody besides oneself. With this one, I went for the most barebones stuff as, with a lot of things...

Newest video after taking a 1 week break to avoid burnout. Next up, I'm finally discussing plotting as I've wanted. At any rate, hope this one helps out!

Here we go, two parter for the antagonist essentials I've worked out. I released the one last week, this is the second half.

I hate that I had to split this into parts. I worked hard on what I designed this week. Regardless, this is the next part in my character construction breakdown, with me now tackling antagonism. Hope this all can help you out with your stories!

This was a satisfying pain in the ass to work out. I was so happy that... Well, here's a peek behind the scenes from this week. This is the refinement of everything I've done with character construction. There is much more I can do, but I am positive that these are the 6 things you wish to...

Tackling a bit on creating a series this week! Laying the foundation for so much I wish I had known in the past.

I've been thinking a lot about the common issues I often see with writers and working with so much information. This is my attempt to streamline a strong foundation for everything else. I still have much to do, but this is the thing I'd recommend anybody who wants to write does first, whether...

This involves a little something I've been working on and will be expanding on a great deal. Expansion for each archetype on my site and curious, what audience archetypes do you find you fall into the most?

This is one of the various articles I've built on my site, which I wish to bring over here. Introduction In the early 20th century, pulp fiction magazines dominated newsstands, packed with thrilling, fast-paced stories designed to entertain the masses—writers like Robert E. Howard (Conan the...

New video out now! I tackle a couple of things that will make sense of several things, including the idea of storytelling rules and how they aren't even frameworks like some people often say. I define what stories are and what storytelling is, tackle the key to success with writing, etc.

This has been on my mind for about a week now, since my last IRL writing group meeting. So, figured I'd open up a bit about what I've been thinking about. Curious what others think. Also, experimenting with a new format.

I've been cooking so much this week... The sheer number of breakthroughs I've had are mindblowing... This is just a taste of what I've figured out, building off of what I began with The Story Marc Plotting Method. And I hope this helps you with your protagonists as this is just the start of...

My new system, built around the Universal Conflicts, resulted in me having a new perspective on things when mixed with an old lesson. Maybe it'll be useful to you.

So, first, I created a whole PDF which serves as a writing instructional book for plotting. It's in the link on the video if you wish to dig deeper into it. Uses a different method than anything you've heard before and this video touches on one of the uses with genre blending. Furthermore, I...
