Hey Chelsey, thank you so much for sharing your tip, and I'm so glad you found a way out of perfectionism. You remind me of a story I was working on for so long, and I didn't know what made it not work. No matter what part I worked on, I was unsatisfied with how it turned out. Then one day, I decided to throw everything away and write it from scratch, and the was the best thing I did for that story. It felt liberating. I rewrote it in a few days since I knew the characters too well. It helped me leave out the things that weren't working, which I had been holding on to without realizing it. I hope you get to finish your fiction project. And if there is an aspect of the writing process you have questions about you can let me know and perhaps I'll create a video about it (if I think I can add some value 😊). Good luck!

@mohamedsmorshed thanks so much I will deff let you know.

Thank you 🙏

Hmmm, a few that come to mind are Tobias Wolff (I would read his memoir first, This Boy's Life, probably one of the best books I've read in the past 10 years). Junot Díaz is another author, and he incorporates his Dominican culture into the writing. Colson Whitehead's The Nickel Boys is also a great place to start. I hope these help 😊

Thank you 😊

It’s true that listening is easier than reading, because you can listen while liking, doing laundry, or driving. I do feel like when I read I comprehend more, but that doesn’t take away from the power of listening. I think our focus on reading has become harder because of our phones. I could be wrong, but no book can compete with half an out of scrolling through memes, sport highlights, and cat videos. Sometime, when I’m stuck writing, or get to a less interesting part of a book, I automatically reach for my phone. It’s interactive at this point. Nevertheless, it’s a habit or a muscle. We can train ourself to read. We just need to have patience, and most importantly read books we enjoy.

Thanks for the sub, and I hope you watch more of my videos. Let me know if there is a topic you want me to cover ☺️ Here are the books on the thumbnail: 1.1984: amzn.to/3RsfIob 2. Gaza Writes Back: amzn.to/3XurNge 3. The Great Gatsby: amzn.to/3XlKNO0 4. Good Omens: amzn.to/3XpXCH8 5. One Hundred Years of Solitude: amzn.to/3xkAKyf Happy reading!

@@mohamedsmorshed thanks for your reply! I think I would like to learn more about the process of writing poetry. Greetings!

Yes! YOU NEED TO!

@@mohamedsmorshed Yes!

For me it’s not a mental switch that I turn on and suddenly I enjoy the process (of writing, in my case). But it has to do with how I approach ‘the thing.’ If I sit down to write for the sake of writing the story, I tend to enjoy what I write down, how the characters come to life, and the word play I use to shape the world I’m building. But if I sit down to write because I feel like I have to, otherwise why would I call myself a writer, then it starts to feel like a chore. Mind you, the thing gets done in both cases. But I enjoy one over the other.

@@mohamedsmorshed Sounds nice.

Do you ever just write to see what comes out? I'm old, but have always loved typing. I can start just by doing the old typing exercises like, "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country." ... and then keep typing to see what you say about it. Just letting yourself write without judging yourself is freeing.

Absolutely! Writing is literally the act of discovery. I can’t think of stories in full form and then start writing them. I sit, type, and the images start flowing. Sometimes it takes a few minutes before my engine starts turning. But if I’m patient enough, the story will come around.

"That's a very interesting goal; I love it. I wonder why you wouldn't put your name as the author?"

@@mohamedsmorshed by that I mean not popular like Neil, Stephen or JK. I’m just a guy in a galaxy of superstars.

@@philipdouglas842 Oh I see! Well you never know who you’ll become 😊. Keep writing!

I always wanted to write well-worn library books. They were the love of my childhood... the fragrance of another world.

Thank you! We just have to train ourselves to be rewarded by the process or get feedback from sharing our work.

Thank you so much for the comment. Will share more about Yemen in future videos- and writing 🙂

I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏼

Thank you for the note. Will do!

"Elements of Style" is a good book. I would also recommend reading a lot and reading widely. The more you read, the more you train your brain on how authors tell stories, structure books, and craft sentences. Good luck! If you watch the video, let me know what you think of it.

@@mohamedsmorshed thanks a lot for the reply 🪄and yes im exploring different writing styles, different authors and genre. i hope your ramadan goes well.
