His book “This Year You Write Your Novel” is just wonderful. Such an amazing person ❤️
Did not know about this book. Thank you :)
Truth. I fell in love with writing by journaling the things I couldn’t express at a young age.
Everyone finds their own path.
Love it! Everybody does romanticize being a writer! Just like being a truck driver-it's only as romantic as you have time to breathe in between living and work! Kudos!
I agree that comics are great reading. Stan Lee had a deeper meaning in his stories and really made me want to read them. This then led me to novels.I still read comics and novels together. To me, they go hand in hand.
I love this guy!
Some people are misunderstanding what he’s saying.
He’s saying that all writers (big and small) begin at the same place. All writers were children once and all writers had to learn the alphabet, had to learn how to string words together to form sentences, had to learn grammar rules. All writers share these same humble beginnings.
The love of creating fictional worlds and characters probably began in their childhood when their imagination was most active. And what imaginary worlds, characters and games do children come up with? The most common feature is that it must be fun, right? So that’s what he’s saying, that the writer’s main goal is to be entertaining and perhaps say something about the human condition. He’s saying that the writers of those classic literary novels didn’t sit down at their desk and think “oh, gee, today I’ll write a novel that will be considered as the greatest novel for the next 1000 years”. Their goal was to write something that was entertaining and relatable.
So he’s warning all writers today to not fall into the trap of thinking that “everything I write needs to be perfect”. Just write something that people will love and relate to. Everything else will take care of itself.
The Hardy boys, Nancy Drew, Famous Five, Secret Seven were my introduction to reading and writing as a young boy in a small town in Kenya.
i read the whole series of the Nancy Drew Books and Archie Comic books!
I love you Walter Mosley!
Well and Fit 1 Now ✌🏾
one of the best!
I really admire him. Read all his books
0:35-1:50 I could see applying to reviewer culture on TH-cam esp. when you consider how say ex-Channel Awesome anime reviewers put a lot of research into expressing the nature of narrative on old animes when it's probable that such media was dismissed as lurid shlock when they first saw it.
Another take-away I suppose is to not be ashamed if you mean to write but mainly cultivated that impulse from media consumption of a seemingly low-brow pulp instead of luaded literary masterworks.
Found this massively engaging.
Johnny Showbones me too.
walter mosley is the best
The important point to keep in mind is that it was popular literature that was excellent! There is no *necessary* correlation between something's popularity and its greatness.
For me it was 'Bazooka Joe.' I always wanted the story to be longer.
Just after 1:00 Nancy Drew Hardy Boy Reference and again right after 2:00 2:30 What classics are
Walter Mosley and I have some something in common. Comic books at age 11.
I think he has a point, though I don't think *everything* popular today will be "great litterature" in the future...I mean, I think he might have said that...but what he's saying is true about music too...well, a lot of it...there are exceptions...there are often things considered "great" today that were never popular (Wagner in general wasn't as popular as Bizet was, but both are considered by many, even if perhaps there's more controversy about Wagner, as I've read it said, people either detest his music or really love it, as "great" today)...but I have to say I didn't really ever think of it like that...there are pieces of classical music that were mainly aimed toward the nobility, at any rate, rather than the people...but, often, the music was popular in its day...
I mean...most music, historically, has vanished with time, isn't performed anymore, etc...and most of it is popular...therefore most popular music won't survive as "great music"...I would *expect* the same to be true about literature, I don't know if I can say the same was true historically, perhaps since less people wrote in the past...but I would guess that's also the case historically...
he’s my step grandfather
I should start reading this guy's books.
I think what he is talking about is the belief of *some* people. What other people might deem "great literature".
yes.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
To imply that great literature is simply aged popular literature somewhat disingenuous.
He didn't imply that
