How did I not know you had a dog? it's so cute!

tbh having my fanfiction get #1 on the fukase x reader board (younger me was crazy, yes) got me to start writing so much more for people

Has anyone ever told you that you resemble Jack Black? But about the actual topic, good list. I'm embarrassed about how clichéd my writing always turns out being, in the end. Much-used tropes are much-used tropes for a reason, though, so maybe they have their place. Or maybe I'm just defending my stories. 😂

I just attempted this on an afternoon where I was not expecting to be interrupted. I got 50 minutes and 3k words in before I got a surprise visit from some family and...lost it all. Hahaha I'm going insane. I have, at least, gotten some better idea of this new story in my head now. I guess? Ugh

❤❤

Good thing I don't read or write romance because I'm a mysterious lone wold who is to good for love ( I have no idea where to even start writing a whole book about a relationship, I'll keep writing horror Lol ) Could you make a list of genres that are easy to hard to write? Which I suppose is more or less subjective but might be a cool idea.

Are you an actor because you look like someone who’s an actoR?

The chosen one is soo overrated

I’m not sure if this is necessarily a trope or if I hate it because I love the concept. It's just really hard to stick the landing. It’s when a girl and two guys (the roles could be swapped but it’s usually one girl) where she was in love with the first guy but then he went away (sometimes is presumed dead) and so the girl gets together with another guy then the first guy comes back and they have to deal with those glorious emotions! The second guy usually ends up dying but it’s really annoying when the story uses that death as a salutation? Like no. Give me the feelings of the characters, I don’t want this cheap garbage! Probably the best it’s been done is in The Count of Monte Cristo, that book does a lot of things well.

"You'll be no better than them!" I HATE this one where the hero is about to kill the bad guy, but they're stopped because it would make them just as bad. Which is a terrible argument, and 99.99% of the time is just not true in the context of the story. Plus, it often results in the bad guy getting away, which is annoying beyond belief. I am not including stories where the hero has explicitly made a vow against killing, like Kenshin, Aang or Batman(although batman goes back and forth so he's not really off the hook). I'm talking about stories where in the last minute they decide that all killing is always wrong, even if they haven't discussed the morality of it at all in the book, and even if they just killed 50 faceless goons. For one, you just can't make me believe that the moral weight of killing someone who has killed a bunch of people and will kill again is equivalent to the moral weight of killing a bunch of people. Secondly, let's suppose that the moral burden of killing the villain really is that high. In most cases, the hero isn't fighting the villain for revenge, they're fighting the villain to stop him from doing something. Personally, if I were the hero, I would be willing to bear that moral burden if it meant stopping the villain/keeping people safe. Like if there was a serial killer rampaging, and I had the ability to kill him and protect the people he was going to kill but it meant I would go to hell, then I would absolutely do it! The hero should be willing to sacrifice their own peace of mind/sanity for the sake of the people they are trying to protect.

One I really hate is when someone with powers just wants to be normal. It's so lame! We're reading about someone with powers because we don't want normal!

2:48 excuse me? Don't fart at me 😭

I understand the love triangle being overdone and hated, but when it's done well, I'm fine with it But sadly it's always a girl trying to pick cookie cutter guy 1 and cookie cutter guy 2

Honestly, I like the pregnancy trope, it does just have to be written well 😁

Yeah, miscommunication has been overly hated, maybe because it's done so poorly a lot, but it really is realistic and it can be written well

I actually love the chosen one trope, I love Harry Potter so much 😎

Challenge: for the power of love, write a short story where, say, Cupid/Eros has to solve a problem with what he knows best 👀😁

Miscommunication should have been number 1 😭✋ sorrryyyyy but I find it annoying

Oops, I cut myself off there. Only stop watching this video to watch interstellar if you’ve never seen it. (Or if you want to watch it again. Tbh it’s a better use of your time!)

I'm a writer but I don't write that often but I do plan on getting back to it.. this might be relatable in the future deserves a like so I can remember it

1st

Few months ago i would have tried this but turns out I don't like drinking 😂 (have been having alcohol for years but found out i don't want to ever drink more than I'm used to in an event, which is like 1 1/2 drinks)

What you write will always seem more predictable and boring to you who knows your story than to your non-mindreader readers xD

How are you able to balance your online presence and maintain a good writing work habit?

Hey Patrick do you have any sort of reading and writing community in other media? Like at the discord for example? If you did can you share an link?

Came here from Tiktok, Good to See ya, Also I needed this video then again it's less I hate reading and more my brain finds video games more rewarding

My book is the best book ever. Check it out.

youtube doesn't like comments leading people to other sites (probably a good thing given scam bots exist) But I have some of my socials linked on my channel profile, not that I post much on anything, but they do exist!

Don't

Boktok make my bones hurt

should one try and build an author platform before they've even finished writing a book?

It is a little frustrating, even for romance books that simply can’t compete with some of these giants.

this game would be very fun for me when im old enough to drink, because BOY do i have some stinkers in my discography 😂

I do enjoy listening to book drama videos in the background while I play minecraft. I generally have no intention of reading any of the books featured because they tend not to be to my taste. I do also like watching well researched high quality videos because that's what I want to make myself, not that the drama videos aren't well researched

I am writing a book and trying to get so advice for the first bit but everyone is saying first draft and I am only 8 and I am writing a book and I do not even know what first draft means is that a problem

It can be very disheartening especially to an aspiring writer, like me. I've read a lot of the books that people talk about and I just don't really see the hype about them sure they're good but is the hype really necessary? I do hope that my book becomes that popular tho but who knows lol people will always talk about fourth wing and acotar, that's for sure

That's...actually really funny XD

"Would the human brain fall out of the head if the head got split in 2" I did not infact get a good answer, but I got a picture of a human brain being cut up.

Same happenings with me

😂😂😂

oops, I missed this upload because I was reading

Starting to write made me really want to be a better reader, but at the same time, I found that the excitement that I used to get from reading didn't hold a candle to the excitement I get from writing! Writing for me feels a lot like reading, except I get to make the characters do exactly what I want!

Yeah that’s normal. Just because you’re a creative person who enjoys storytelling, that doesn’t mean you’ll automatically have the best reading habits. I had a similar experience, but I caught onto reading around the third grade when I read Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief. Also I hate how snobby some people can be about the amount others read. People consume books and all other kinds of stories for different reasons. I don’t read that many books myself because I read to learn how to write my kinds of stories better. Book critics and people who read to escape probably read double or triple what I have, and that’s okay. Two people can get something completely different from the same story. Plus I’m just naturally a slower reader, and that’s okay too, I’d rather read something in five one-hour periods over the course of five days than five hours straight. I’m never gonna get to read all the books I want to anyway, so what’s the rush? It’s good to encourage others to read, but I don’t understand why other people feel like reading is a race.

In 2022, I wanted to get back into reading, but had only read 2 (and they were both stars wars legacy of the force). In 2023, I read 27. I also read 27 in 2024. Now, my goal is 50 books and so far, I've read 5! (I really surprised myself so far and I'm so motivated)

Sometimes you have to remind people not to ship them 😂😂😂

hay, I think this book is way better than the first chapter or two of my book that I put on wattpad

as someone with an older brother and many cousins, i am also guilty of this 🤣

yea i get this alot i just have them have like one appearance or die in the most brutal way EVER
