Loved this format. Love listening to you. You are very clear and concise, and what you say makes sense. Just off to look at your book suggestions, and I shall definitely be making my own dictionary.
Great format. Enough info, yet digestible. Kudos for not dramatizing the craft/hobby. There´s so much do x, y, z, out there that stresses people I think. Better just read and write continuously and then you´ll start to learn how to find your path and what advice you need.
There is so much prescriptive advice when it comes to writing, and the reality is every writer needs to figure out how they work best and what their writing style and voice is.
This was a wonderful video and one that I will return to. I felt like I was back in college having a lively conversation with my professors. (That's meant as a compliment.) I hope you do more of these.
That was a very interesting talk [subscribed]. I'm a retired high school English teacher (in the US), and I've been writing 1000+ words a day for...well, several years now. The problem I have is that I am extremely rankled by the idea of being edited. Call me thin-skinned, but the very idea of some ill-advised, self-appointed 'expert' telling ME how to use a comma repulses me to the degree that I don't push anything I've written along the traditional publishing avenues, which are dying a well deserved and long overdue death as far as I'm concerned.
Thank you so much for the subscription! I teach both creative writing and editing and publishing courses at the uni were I am employed, so I do think there is tremendous value (and joy!) in having your work professionally edited, but of course, you have to find the right editor--not always easy--and every writer's career, practice, and goals looks different. It great to year that you have an existing writing practice. I don't feel like myself when I am not writing, so I hope you have found great rewards in this practice.
Yay you posted a video!! It was a very interesting video and I will be downloading to listen to again while I'm driving.
You're such a great supporter! Yes...it has been too long between videos and trust me when I say I have been *trying* to get another one up!
I enjoyed the video and format. Thanks for sharing your insights 😊
Thanks for the comment, and I am glad you enjoyed the video!

@@authortaraeast That simple advice is probably the best.
