@Dean Vennard Pretty sure the people there are getting it for free as well. I think the class doesn't give credits, it's a workshop. Don't quote me on that though.
@@briandoeslife7182 he says at one point in a later video that it's a one credit class everyone gets an A in as long as they show up lol. Love Brando-Sando.
@@mattkhourie4037 Ah, yeah sry I was thinking of how he has a 15 person workshop as well as the class, but I guess you have to take the class to get into the worshop.
Hey @zmunk, just really want to thank you for the wonderful work you've done putting these together. It's also really cool and respectful how you've left alone those lectures that Brandon uploads on his YT now. Really appreciate it!
Thanks for that. Once he started his own YT channel, I felt I wasn't adding any value, vs before when these were scattered everywhere and often in pieces. Glad it's been useful to people :-)
I love the categorization of writing styles. I had never thought of it more than I'm a messy writer. By his standard I'm a discovery writer. Much more positive.
I'm definitely a discovery writer. I'm discovering how to write a novel. This is my first. In spite of having an outline, every time, it seems, that I learn something new, I go back and make changes. And yes, I've been writing this for about 10 years, and am determined to finish it.
@@gray_mara I'm in the process of filling/ fixing plot holes. Going back through the first chapters (it's been awhile) there are scenes of foreshadowing that were never followed through on. Fortunately, I have room to expand.
Great class. Just a small note. GRRM calls outliners "architects", because they make a plan and then follow it. GRRM calls discovery writers "pantsers" because they write off the seat of their pants. GRMM calls himself a "gardener" because he believes himself to be unique an special and imbued by the writing gods and the muses to be the one and only writer who is neither an architect nor a pantser, but gets the best of both worlds. GRRM is an egomaniac.
I disagree that you can tell how good someone is at piano in a minute. You can tell if someone is really bad at piano in one minute but the difference between an amateur, professional, and one in a million savant is much more difficult to discern. It would depend on what they are playing. There are amazing piano players that barely make a living and average piano players who make millions of dollars. There are hobbyist piano players who could blow your mind but never made a single dollar playing piano. In art the relationship between skill and success is tenuous at best. Art is incredibly subjective.

I don't have much interest in writing but I really enjoy these lectures. It's like watching a magician tell you how the magic is done.
These students don't know how lucky they are!

"G.R.R. Martin is a discovery writer, if you can't tell my how long it takes him to write his books."
Oh, Brandon of 2012, you've no idea..
😂😂

Did you finish it?

@@kathyl6677 Ugh, plot holes are the worst! Congrats on your book progress, that's great to hear. You'll get there!
Only 50,000 words? Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
At the end, the protagonist does a backflip, snaps the bad guy's neck, and saves the day
50k words is tight!
What a great professor. I hope he makes it big someday!
Haha
Only if he finally finishes a book.
I’ve learned so much watching his lectures, very grateful. 💚
I knew Codex Alera was about the Roman Legion,but I didn't know it was about Pokemon too......lol
oh my god you are a treasure for doing this
this guy is actually a genious😆
I'm outlining a comic and it's sooo tedious. I just want to start drawing it but the plot's got me stuck
Get a writer and just draw.
25:05 Brandon Sanderson makes a pun about the band Tool
Thank so much for this video Brandon. I learned so much. I know where I went wrong. I am looking forward to the next lectures.
17:52 Goal of class, word count and timeline
Sounds like aliens or a water drain in the background.
Also, I love these lectures. So much.
Sounds like drowning pikmin to me.
Aliens confirmed. Somebody better call down the other dropship from the Sulaco...
What if I discovery write my outline ? 👁👄👁
Military sci fi paranormal romance... what an idea! LOL
Thanks for sharing this!
best advice ever

Hope he sees this bro
pretty sure that comment was a reaction to students chatting making it unlistenable at times
