Thank you so much. I can't wait for your next video. One lesson I haven't found anyone teach yet, which I think would be helpful for writers, is an exhaustive list of plot devices(?). Tricks like Chekhovs gun, Red Herring, Ticking Clock, Crystal ball, etc. These devices can add a lot to a story, and I know there's more, but I don't know them all. Thank you in advance for any video you put out because it will be gold, but if you make this one, double thank you.
I've really fallen in love with your videos! I've been working on a story off and on for about 3 years now and I've made more progress after watching your videos this year than I have within the last 3 years. Many thanks!
Love these videos! So much great information for unpublished writers like myself. Glad you took the criticism as constructive. The engagement with fans of your work and people that just stumble on your videos is really rare and dare I say, cool. Keep making these because they are making a difference in my writing.
very instructive, on my first draft i found i was doing a lot of that locomotive story telling, on my second draft ive been able to condense entire chapters into a few paragraphs instead
Thank you for each video! As a designer who started working on her story idea in 2025, I had so many questions about how storytelling works - your explanations and your own experience sooth my soul! I wonder what your MBTI type is, I would structure these videos in the same exact way if I had your knowledge, I'm amazed by your presentations
To each their own, but I found the story to be a page-turning machine. Even if the story isn't to your taste, I think there are things to learn from something that does that sort of thing well.

As an aspiring writer, these videos have been quite the blessing, miles better than many other content creators. Can't wait for the next one! Cheers
So glad you're finding them useful!
Love your breakdowns and advice and how to build an engaging story. Heads and shoulders above most of what I find on RUclips.
That's really kind of you, thanks for the feedback!

That might make for an interesting video. I'll give that one some thought... And I'm glad you're finding these useful!

Glad to hear they're helping! And I do appreciate feedback. I'm still quite new to creating content, so it helps.
@bradley.p.beaulieu I hadn't read anything by you before finding these videos but I just downloaded 12 Kings on audible. Excited to start the journey.

It's an easy trap to fall into for sure. I certainly have and still do on occasion.

Man, the hunger games plot is so painfully dumb, it's too distracting to pay attention to your points

I would love to know what sort of plot you don’t find dumb.
@@lauravsthepage I’m not too fond of THG and Narnia in this genre, but I usually liked most other ‘classic’ titles as a teen
