Welcome back to another video, friends! I’m diving right in with a question that I’ve seen very passionately debated: Can you learn to be a better writer or are you born with it? Is it something that can be taught, or is it the type of thing where you either have it or you don’t? 👉How to write a chapter of a novel || How I use a spreadsheet for my scene list for outlining a novel ruclips.net/vi...

I'd prefer if you didn't my dear
Women writing male characters: someone said that my breath smelled so he killed that person and fucked me over the body
Her faces made me spit out my tea. Phenomenal
“She breasted boobily down the stairs.”
Sounds like me except buch more psychopathic
I promise you I will not do this when I become a professional writer
Interesting topic 🤔 would my Ai be able to detect the Ai?
Women writing female characters: Hulk woman
Ladies, you’re writing about a different gender, not a different species. Don’t write a male character, write a character who happens to be male. It’s not that hard, especially if you ever talked to man. Just give them a a personality, backstory, hobbies, etc.
I usually read an extremely different genre so I came into this expecting jokes about intense trauma, self-sacrificing natures, an overwhelming loneliness with the desire to belong, and the occasional homoerotic subtext
This is offensive -Absolutely no one.
Nah fr- we love creating men well never get irl 😭
Men writing women and women writing men will always be peak literature
If someone asks you to write a book for them and (hopefully) pays for the privilege, then yes it is ethical. If you write a book and use someone else's name to sell it without their permission...that's bad...that's very very bad. I've never ghost-written for anyone...I didn't have the spirit for it.
Omg, using someone's name without their permission!?!?!?! Yikes. Are there people who do that? Probably. Not ok.
Oof, women are really no better at writing men than men are at writing women... XD XD
And yet, as a romance reader. I would scream in happiness everytime there’s a fluff scene RAHHHH
I’ve never read a description like this. But I don’t read romcoms. So maybe that’s why? Most male authors I like are Brandon Sanderson and Rick Riordan. 🤷♀️
This is beautiful 😢
I think it depends. Cuz smutt itself is completely fine but if it’s just idk 🍇 then it is obviously but normal smutt is ok not toxic
Me writing my 💅males💅 as spoiled brats
Thats so real like guys give me more lanky, awkward and shy guys not some bad boy alpha🙁
Great video!
Thank you!
Brandnew to the channel. Honestly, it's whatever. I'm would assume in the case of the disabled person. While they can't write themselves. They would potentially be more involved in the creation process. So, whomever is penning the words is irrelevant. In the blog scenario, like you said, I don't care who actually wrote it. Regarding AI, I follow a channel that does AI short stories. They are up front about this and have said they feed the idea to AI. Then, edit and fix the story. To what extent I don't know. But, because they're up front with their processes, I don't worry too much about it. Point is this, as you mentioned, if the reason you utilize ghost writing through another person or AI and take credit for their work. You may want to self-reflect why that course of action is so important to you and why you're comfortable taking credit for other people work. I'd have far greater respect for someone who clearly stated they had someone write their biography. Then, falsely stated it was an autobiography.
Wow. I don't hear of many people owning up to using AI. That's a start, for sure. At least readers know what they're looking at, you know? That was my reaction when I learned that a lot of entrepreneurs don't write their books -- like, why not just SAY that? If it was good information, I don't know that I would care. But instead, finding out after the fact that they lied, that was a huge turn-off.
Love Your Channel Megan!!!
Thank you so much!
Being delulu is the most Great and stressful thing ✨✨
This is why I don't read romance centered books LMFAO..
Lmao have i just read to less or what i never find anything this detailed 😭
Lmao what novel are you reading with such details
as a woman.. ".. and he was totally gay. You could tell."
This is not true- but cause it's a joke.. okay 👍
I loveeee book men writen by womennnnn😢❤
I definitely agree that one must write for the right reasons. Not to become famous or as a a 'get rich quick' method. I can't tell you how many videos I've seen from people saying that writing a book is an easy way to side income. They say it's super easy...but writers know that it takes A LOT of brainpower and dedication. By the way, can you please tell me what genres you write in (i.e. romance, fantasy, sci-fi, etc.)? Thanks in advance and take care!
I couldn't agree more! It's so much harder than people let on. You HAVE to love writing, or it's pointless. I've written humor, mystery, and my latest is... supernatural/fantasy? I'm still trying to figure that out. :p How about you?? Thanks for your comment. :-)
@@bymegangrant Thanks for your reply! I have two projects in progress. One is a memoir and the other is an outline for a movie idea (which is an inspirational drama). I haven't worked on either in a while since I've been dealing with writer's block and I recently just got over a cold. I'm not an authortuber or anything like that though. Appreciate your question and hope you have a great day!
How do you know your good enough? Need a confidence boost in your writing? Write a book, or a couple chapters at least. Let it sit for a month or so and then edit it into a new draft. Let it sit for a month and read it again. That is a given and that is what we all should be doing. Now comes the fun and humbling part. Go to a grocery/department store and pick up a few books on the shelves that are designed for mass commercial consumption and read them. And be honest with yourself regarding whether your material is at least on par (not better) than this material. If it is at least on par, you are not wasting your time. This is also a trap in that a lot of these mass published books are either the 'made it' authors like Patterson, King, and Child. Or they are mass written under pseudonyms and are bodice-rippers, murder fo the week, etc. The former is what we are all wanting, but the latter is where you might find yourself landing in time. And that is fine. That means a paycheck. And if the paycheck is used to pay the electric bill then congratulations, you are now a professional writer.
the non binary folks are just gods at writing characters cuz they dont do this stuff im the they im the nb writer im better then all of u/hj
Would that not be asexual people?like cus lesbians describe women differently
@@diemos17 hmm possibly, now an nb aro ace would be- just too powerful
@ bro learned the techniques of darth plagues the wise
Don't forget 'His face was chiseled'. 😂
HE'S SO HAPPY WRITING OMG!😂😂😂😂
me who always makes the man shorter than the woman: 😨
A few people have said that and I am HERE FOR IT!!!!!
And then we have uncle Rick.
Thank you, this is a refreshing idea.
I want someone to do this but they just bang their head on the keyboard a couple times randomly then keep typing lmaoo
You forgot the brooding glare and the chuckles
Yall cant be talking after seeing all those bl man made by female artists aswell 😭😭
Y’all describe them? I just introduce the females name if I wanna write a female character
You’re not alone. I had to do that with my first novel and a few of my novellas.
Im dying here trying to imagine what that thing would look like
😅😅
I don't care what he looks like, it gotta be donkey shlong poofa (heavily inspired by barbie) don't ask.
