    so happy for you! I'm an underwriter, too (in that my zero drafts are always short and in each new draft I add more details), but I don't really have a preference for dialogue, my zero drafts are kinda like stream of consciousness. Act 2 is most challenging for me, too, but when I get it right, it's so rewarding! This video motivated me, thank you for sharing! 💓

    I'm actually blown away because I've never heard of a dialogue-first approach! That's really cool. A lot of us tend to come up with snippets of dialogue before sitting down to write a scene, so maybe that can be a way to keep the gems that pop up in our heads instead of losing them to forgetfulness.
    I'm also coming to the end of Act 1 (fell behind this month bc my last year of college has me *busy*) but I think I'm more excited for Act 2. The setup is fun to write, but with my WIP the shenanigans only start in Act 2 and I want to be writing about the whole gang already (as they don't come together until the end of Act 1).

    I'm so interested in your dialogue-first technique!!! I think it might be very helpful for people who get easily stuck when something doesn't go exactly as planned!

    i was so happy to see another video dropped today. currently went down to see my mom so, hopefully, a new setting (not really) will bring inspiration. I started my book at my mom's place ( I get what you mean about home but not *home* lol). happy to see you finished Act 1though, still figuring out the structure of my book. Learning Acts and other such things. Still new to writing but it's been a great journey so far.

    dialogue really first helps me start writing a scene, i guess because it feels the most dramatic, or maybe because its easier than description?

    26K words by now is terrific. Proud of you, Kris.

    When I see a character of mine having more than four self insert characteristics I like to give one of those to a different character and substitute in the opposite characteristic in its place. Does my character love dogs? Short, extrovert, artistic, deviant dreamer? Now they are a tall introvert who loves cats and is an artistic, deviant dreamer. I used to make my character's physical traits be completely random. Just spin the wheel. Green hair and black eyes, who cares. But I try to think of where they came from and who they are as being important to THAT story. Why them? Why their story and am I the right person to write it? Who should they be and how can I make them the MOST interesting? It helps to watch those random street interviews on YT. Why does she have a shaved head? She let her little niece double bleach her hair as practice and burnt it all off. There's a story behind every trait.

    Hot take but every character should be a little bit of a self insert. That way they all get to shine in their roles and you can beat yourself up if needed and still come out the winner lmao
