As I bring up in the video, artist counts for not just visual creators, but anyone who fits the definition of an artist I mention in it. So if you're an author, you're an artist. Just a subclass of artist. Anyway, this one helped me get down a lot and the result of clarifying a lot of thinking...

This is something I've thought about a lot, when watching writing advice, considering own stuff done in the past, and just... well, this is my current thoughts about it all. Maybe it puts into words what others have experienced. I am curious what people think on this one.

So, as I mentioned, I've divided what I'm focusing on in different fronts. When it comes to writing craftsmanship stuff, I'm putting that more into articles. With that in mind, here is the first article I've released this year: how to create an ensemble. I've an accompanying diagnostic I'll...

First video of this year with part of a pivot. I wish to focus more on the creative mind and developing it more. This is something I've been thinking about a lot with being a modern creative.

Here is the next in the series of openings I've identified! Hope this helps, it's been interesting exploring all of these.

So, last week I did the more "Action-oriented" openings that many think about. This week, I'm tackling openings for stories where things start off mundane for the protagonist and it becomes more grand as things go on. Two down, three to go.

This is something I've thought about a lot and I'm feeling confident about what I've put forward. Hopefully it can help!

Tackled this due to a request for help, and I framed it around this topic for the YouTube game. Regardless, my foundation for writing redemption stories given in this and so on. Hope it helps out!

Here we go, I followed up on The Bad Place with this one now. Had a fun time dissecting what I did. I kind of want to make some battle related stuff using this, but that's future me's problem. Regardless, hope this helps out! And Happy Halloween! The next one is... going to be me tackling...

I'm building a list of future topics again, since I feel confident tackling so many things now after improving my methodology this year. Is there anything in particular someone wants me to dissect and discuss? Right now I'm planning on tackling some stuff like isekai, more stuff on fight scenes...

This was fun putting together! Got to do some deep dives into horror and so forth. Plus, I'm confident in the systems I built from this. Tell me what you think and if it helps. Also, I'm nearly set for what's coming next after I finish one more horror entry.

And with this video, I completed the taxonomy of deaths in storytelling series I... accidentally stumbled into. This one was genuinely the hardest out of the set, but I think I cracked this one. Hopefully... Full playlist here if you want all four types of deaths explored: If you can think of...

Next part in me tackling deaths in fiction! This one was fun working things out with, since I ended up looking at plenty of examples I didn't get to mention, such as Batman: Brave & The Bold's episode with the introduction of The Flash. It only clicked with me yesterday after I had already...

I got interested in this since previous death stuff since, in my current taxonomy, four types of death in storytelling. This one interested me the most to tackle next because of Yu Yu Hakusho. Had a fun time with this, I kind of want to come up with a way to use this in the future. Anyway, hope...

Putting this out here today, alongside a new hybrid for my video aesthetic. I hope you find this helpful, especially since I've been enjoying creating these diagnostic systems. I believe it helps simplify and reduce cognitive load when implementing things and judging one's own work. I've been a...

My expanding thoughts on the literature world as we move closer to the future! This is something I intend to expand on, but I wanted to document this as a starting point for some observations and thoughts.

So, I worked hard this weekend creating this diagnostic test for writers to engage with. Plus, it's the answer to how I'd judge a magic system and if I'd say it works well or not. If you want to see how yours measures up and why, give it a try. It's a simple yes-or-no question throughout.

I so need to decrease the pause between some words when working in Descript. But that aside, I tackle prologues in this one and I realized I should start making diagnostic flow charts and decision trees to help people navigate decisions with writing better.

These are the patterns I've noticed and am sharing with those who want to see more.

I'm finally doing this now, since I feel ready for it. Here's the worldbuilding method I came up with, starting with the first three essentials, if you want to stop at this point.
