    I've definitely been accused of that and worse! Some would argue that writing in general is boring. You sit at a desk or computer and just... write. Nothing terribly exciting about that. May I suggest you choose another hobby besides writing that might give you the excitement you need? Some people like sports, music, etc. Everything is boring to someone, but you might find something less boring to you. Thank you for watching! :)

  • @archaeobard1
    @archaeobard1 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I know this is an old video, but I'd like to say I disagree with point 3 @ 5:35 'if you open it, close it'. The short story form should mean the reader has to do more work. That's why they are so hard to write. Not everything is handed to the reader on a platter like in a novel, but the writing still has to be engaging enough to read on. As a reader of short stories, I often expect to have open endings, this way I get to use my own imagination and keep the story with me long after reading, so I can visualise a variety of resolutions to any open ended questions the writer leaves. As a writer of short stories, it is often difficult to chose which threads to leave open. You don't want the reader to scream in frustration, rather develop a balance of resolution and lively curiosity so the story lives on. Just my 2 cents worth.

    I listen to both this and the longer version about once a week for the past month.

I have listened to your novel in 3 weeks every 2 or 3 days as well. I would love to have a writing only version of that one as well :D I love your vids! keep it up!

      RantingForSanity I think it was Ray Bradbury who said this: "write one short story every week; I doubt you'll have 48 bad short stories after the year is done." I've kind of altered this to finish something--whether it be a chapter, a short story, or lengthy poem--at least once a week, and write in my journal for practice in between short stories. Just write a lot and read a lot. You'll get the hang of it

    I enjoyed watching your video you made some good points! I am currently working on my first book it is a self- help personal journey story. I do not consider myself as a writer or an aspiring author, but I do feel that writing this book is something I have to do. Since I am not part of a writing community is difficult for me to find someone to point me in the right direction. Not just when it comes to writing itself but getting all writings previewed, edited and just the whole process altogether. I feel I have a powerful story of overcoming obstacles but I have reached the point of self-doubt. I wonder if I will be the only person that thinks that the story is good LOL, is this common?

    • @andrewheath515
      @andrewheath515  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Clinton Mccoy It can be hard to sell short stories in general. If you write a novel, it's easier. If people can relate to it, even better. You can write a novel and publish it at Smashwords and/or Amaazon, and it might sell some copies. You never know till you try.
