    I literally love writing! I have millions of ideas living in my head :) Most of the time though I don’t act out on them, but I am planning on making a story that I will eventually turn into a horror game! I’m so excited of what the future will hold, since I’ve got so many fun twists in mind! Thank you for making this video! It’s so great to see that others enjoy writing as much as I do! :)

    i enjoy writing more fantasy tyoe stuff, yet ive never gotten anywhere far with it. ive only gotten around 50-60 pages done when im always aiming for at least 100 pages. i saw this video and decided to check it out. still in the brainstorming part, but this has already been a huge help! i already understand what im going to be writing about more than ive ever understood what ive already written. never seen you before, but your helping me out girlie! ✨️
    edit: ive already dumped that last idea but i think its because im doing things ive only thought about for a day or so. this time, im doing something thats much deeper than the last idea. my temp name for it is Liar's Throne. its where the king or this medieval/fantasy kingdom is a tyrant and the main character is a knight/guard of this said tyrant. the knight soon realizes that the king is a tyrant and experiences the moral dilemma; the life he has, or a better life for the rest of the kingdom.

    Im really glad I have come across this video. Ive been on a wroting break and completly scrapped the story i was working on. I got too wrapped up on worls building to realize the story itself didn't work. Now, 3 years later. Ive done more studying into literature and story telling of various forms... I have a lot more of a solid idea for a story. Simce its been while since ive started from scratch, this video has definitely helped. This is the most confident in what kind of story i wanted to share. I have an actual point and message I want to say.
    Thank you so much!

  • @Just-another-writer

    Hi Ana! You might not see this, but I hope you do.
    I had a question.
    I get a story idea and I build on it, make the plot in my head and everything. Then I sit down to write it but it never really captures exactly what I'm going for. It always comes off a little whimsical or sarcastic, even if that's not what I'm going for. So I guess what I'm trying to say is if I'm writing a funny scene, it'll come off as serious and if I'm writing a scene with all the tears flowing, it'll come out kind of funny.
    Do you have any tips to help? Or anybody reading this, actually.
    Thanks

    Aaaaaah I am still stuck
    So. I have this idea (DON'T STEAL IT PEOPLE)
    The book is inspired by Autumn, in Eldinburgh, chilly, wet weather with autumn leaves everywhere and this scent of damp fallen maple leaves everywhere. Surrounding the city is a foggy forest.
    So it is placed in the modern world, and a girl (16) has just moved with her mum to a big city like new York, after living her entire life in the cold countyside. Her aunt who does martial arts and has a weird fashion sense gave her a necklace for christmas (they are very close). One day she wore it out in the city, and got approached by some rather.. weird people. So she gets to talk to them, some stuff happens, and they drag her to into a wall and suddenly, boom. New world. Filled with all kinds of people, magic wich seems to be unique to each person. Main character is super confused, and suddenly mysterious person takes off his hood and shows his face. Her uncle. He is a Knight or something along the lines and shows her a school that is only open in weekends (so people can go on with their normal lives in the city) where she will learn to harness her magic. And yeah idk she has some sort of power but her pendant on her necklace activates it and makes it easier to control. But I have NO plot ideas :/ maybe someone wants to assassinate her ot idk because her aunt is rivalling to the assassin's sender, and once her aunt is d e d. She has to take over. But yeah

    Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love.
    Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans
    . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom.
    If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction).
    He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place.
    He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it.
    He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way.
    NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus.
    If you have any questions let me know xx
