Ask Questions Away

First, saying this.

With that said, In the past, I'm willing to just answer anything as best I can, with detailed, practical advice, if I haven't already answered it. All I ask is to give me precise questions because the more vague or open it is, the more difficult it is for me to cover it. Like, if you asked me "How do I world build," I wouldn't want to go through everything I could say, though I can give a practical model that focuses on worldbuilding from the inside out, starting with religion/myths and so on and then progressively building out. On top of things like The 3 Fs of Worldbuilding, with my emphasis on fixed and found instead of free design to ground it in the story and my methodology.

Thanks for making the videos, and good luck with future work. Doing it for yourself is always the best thing you can do, even if it doesn't reach a large audience.

Hi, I have a question about POVs that aren't from the MC. The world often feels messy when you only see it from the MC's point of view. However, I hate switching POVs in a chapter. So here's what I'm wondering: Does it make sense to introduce side-chapters for such POVs, and if so, when should they come? The problem with side chapters is that they tend to interrupt the flow of the story.

Many thanks in advance.

As a whole, no, you don't want to introduce characters in "side chapters." The character should be introduced through the protagonist meeting them and only get POVs during one of the 3 types I mention in a video I already made on this topic.

Thank you, for all of the dedication you puts into all the work and vids you did. It would be very sad not being able to hear your voice for a while. I'll miss you.
