Genuine and original storytelling does require all this complicated gimmick. If it's truly true from the heart and strikes a chord in the imagination, the plot doesn't need to twist so much .

I think your genre-hopping idea was borrowed/adapted by David Mitchell in 'Cloud Atlas'! But yes, the issue you're highlighting comes from people's confusion between plot (the What Happens) with story/narrative (the Presentation of What Happens). With the possible exception of Whodunnits where the reader reads to solve the plot, the What Happens is rarely all that interesting and in some genres it can be discarded altogether.
Yeh, I'm not pretending it's original, just want to be helpful. I'm pretty sure 'genre-hopping' was old when David Mitchell used it. And I'm sure he'd agree.
@@TheOxfordWriter sorry, no criticism intended. I'd love you to one day look at the marketing of a book because that's where I'm struggling. Hope 'Streetcar' is doing well.
I love this channel and your tips but I wish you didn't use AI artwork in the thumbnail etc., it's quite unsettling and even distracting in my opinion. I think AI can be a great tool for artists (spellchecking, generating prompts for instance) but AI artwork has a tendency to grate on the eyes and feel uncanny, not to mention the issue of plagiarism and environmental impact of generating HD images. When I see your videos on my feed sometimes my initial reaction to the thumbnail is often, 'what's this slop the algorithm's showing me now?' until I read the title and realise it's you. Obviously I can't tell you how to make your own content but that is just how I feel personally. That aside, the advice is great as always and merry (almost) christmas!
Please dont use AI thumbnails. If your video contains good advice, there are plenty of ways to get a human involved such as hiring a human artist who genuinely wants to help! Dont just go the easy slop way!
oh i think i subbed to this channel by mistake, there's no way on earth i'd ever take advice from someone who uses stolen copyright without knowing it just for Ai images instead of opening up ms paint and doing their own thumbnail themselves and learning how to drawn the thing you want to see. This is also why books that use Ai images for covers don't sell and get dumped in a landfill like ET on Atari if they ever get printed.
The technique starts at 6:23.
Bless you.

I meant to say does not need, sorry.
Thank you for your channel and bus ticket, and Merry Christmas
Thank you and merry Christmas to you too!
I like the AI art.

I googled the original name of Magpie Lane - shocking! 😯
Ha ha apparently they were quite common in the middle ages!

That story sounds familiar!

Sorry you feel like that, but thanks for your kind words. Merry Christmas!
I totally agree!! even merely skimming across this as I scrolled to other things, this instantly stood out to me as extremely uncanny. Fuck AI. 🤮

Hilariously wrong.
YESSSS! I noticed it was AI right away, and i'm so glad you and some other comments are calling him out!!!!
Instead of AI you could have used THOUSANDS of free legal stock photos with real people in them!!!
AI artwork is the trashiest kind of theft
