Decided to tackle writing OP characters more now, from the perspective of "this is what I've noticed works." Hopefully it can help you out!

I approach this from another angle, explaining how things can go wrong and why, and what to be careful of when writing strong, wish-fulfillment characters.

I got asked about this recently, so here's my best attempt at tackling ways to do it.

I've received questions about this quite a bit, and while there's more I want to say on things that cause Act 2 issues, this is the immediate solution I thought about to help others. Hope it can make a difference.

Newest video, some ways to create complications in stories

I've found different things work for me than what people say should work and I sometimes wonder if they'll work for others who are seeking help, so here we are.

Here's the latest video after I took a day off! This was requested of me, so I figured, why not? I'll probably do a follow-up on naming settings soon, but not this week.

I've always thought this was a fascinating tip when I learned it, so paying it forward.

I've been asked many questions about plotting, especially when it comes to arc-based stuff, so it's about time I tackled it. I highly recommend this one for web novel writers, specifically given how many people want to write these long narratives. Given how many people don't in this space don't...

I was asked about this in the previous video, so I'm following up.

I'm going to be a bit blunt here and say most webnovels suck at pacing. I often run into plot driven writing that could do with knowing more on how to slow the plot, especially with dialogue writing and exploring characters. So I put this together as an overview, but I feel much more I'll need...

Glad to get some of these notes down, I've enjoyed making sense of stuff like this.

I realized I forgot to post this here yesterday, so... here we go. I have realized I need to add one more step to my process -- something I've been doing anyway, but need to formalize -- but that'll come up later on when I get back to it. Regardless, this completes the series I've done...

Nearing the end of my character creation method breakdown and finally got around to doing this again (for the last time). To note, when I do it, I'm actually quite fast since I already know how it all works. I'm just getting people caught up to me.

I decided to show one technique I came up with for finding your story's theme quick using The Enneagram!

I pushed myself as much as I could on this one to help with this subject, so I hope it does something for someone. I hate how long this one ended up being, given how my work tends to get treated when I put actual effort in, but oh well.

I started creating a bunch of stuff for writing light fantasy, but each part ended up as a topic in and of itself, so... here we are. Starting with me discussing allegory.

People voted on this last week and I've done my best to deliver. Hope this one helps as I was up late working through this one.

Next part in my whole system

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