    I’m so glad I found this video. All of the highlighted tips are very helpful, but the last three really resonated with me the most. As I am currently working on how to incorporate subtle elements and hints into my novel. Thank you for this awesome video!

    I do like the one about the literal doors closing, like yes you can trust that the door usually gets closed!

      Yeah, I feel like I could have done with being told that when I first started because I genuinely wasn’t sure how much of that stuff you needed. You just develop a feel for it don’t you ☺️

    I like the point about not throwing things away. That's similar to Neil Gaiman's advice about adding things to the compost heap 😉 it all adds to the final pieces that do work

    • @KierenWestwoodWriting
      @KierenWestwoodWriting  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Absolutely ☺️ it all ends up somewhere, and often what that ends up being is better than what you originally wanted.
      P.S you’re my favourite

    I like the part about 'not having to close the door'. I just went through this with a story I'm writing. The character woke up hungover and threw up in the bathroom. There was a part of me that was bothered by this dirty bathroom. I needed to clean it up - so, I had her do it. After I read what I wrote, I thought "What is this? This does nothing to add to the story - and doesn't tell us anything about the character. I'm just making her soothe my OCD." Lol !! Nice to hear this advice from a pro. Now I don't have to spend time fixing it. I can just get rid of it. Thanks for your content. Love the channel.

      Thanks for watching! That's a big thing for me too, I always feel the urge to overexplain and there's never much value in doing so when I read it back.

    Hey new to your channel. Great videos, great production value, good lighting and good audio quality, keep up the good work, you deserve a bigger following. Don't worry it will come, keep working hard. TH-cam can be grindy. Sorry for rambling.... I use to many -ing words.

      Hi! Thanks very much, I really appreciate that. Who knows what the future holds, all I can do is keep making videos, I figure if I interest myself, maybe others will be interested too.

    Love your video. Some of the rules make me smile (reflecting on myself). I write to amuse myself, but get so many criticism, rules etc that is making my story lose my voice.

    • @KierenWestwoodWriting
      @KierenWestwoodWriting  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I knjow what you mean. Don't take any rules too seriously I'd say. If you're amusing yourself with your writing, you're going the right way!
