I don’t understand why people can infer like a gazillion different things about a person based on one video, and then proceed to get angry, when the image that they have in their head gets proven wrong. It could be a result of spending to much time on the internet or in echo chambers. I don’t know.
I love your videos because you’re a well thought out person, and you critique things, on either side.
I think watching your book…reviews(?) will help me in the future when I start writing my book, and beyond that.
That was a bit of a tangent. Long story short though, love the channel, love you, peace.
About these authors behavior:
I'm self-pub. My debut novel (which I embarrassingly had to take down due to multiple format errors that I couldn't let stand because I refused to look sloppy) got a few page reads. Someone getting through my book to any degree was a source of joy and cause for celebrating. I had zero expectations. No one left me any reviews. Not on Amazon or Goodreads. Am I angry? No. Am I entitled to those people's opinions because they read even a page of my book? Hell no.
Why do these authors think that's the case? What upsets me here...So many of these authors out here shaming the honest reviews they have received! Good grief, can they not appreciate and be grateful for someone (who isn't their BFF or granny) paying to read their work? Take precious time from their lives, their money, then that person cared enough to leave their genuine thoughts. If you publish your work, you're fair game to critique. You're also lucky to get feedback from the public when 99.9% disappear into oblivion forever. These authors make me glad I'm not on Twitter. I might run my mouth off to teach a lesson in gratitude. Bah! They're not owed anything.
Appreciate you, Ian.
I read a book to read a book if I like it, I like it; I don't go looking for authors hot takes or whatever the only time I will not read something is when I'm reading and they start to sound like they're getting up on a soapbox I don't care what it is I don't appreciate having things rammed down my throat ad nauseum.
One of the reasons I love your channel is the discussions that happen in the comments section. I read a wide variety of fiction and non-fiction, but seldom have anyone to discuss it with other than my husband. For instance, I re-read series when I need a total rest for my mind (evenings usually), but during the day it's research for a WIP, or a book that others have read and want an opinion on (Bringer of Light), or my own work (which is never ending).
Reading speed is down to what I'm reading for: Enjoyment (a book a day average), Research (deep dives for days), Craft (a few hours if I just need one or two chapters), or an arc or beta read for another writer/author (Very deep dive for grammar gremlins, plot holes, and pacing.)
Given a preference, movie or TV or a book: Book wins. Reading is an activity I can pace through out the day. I can carry a book around all day and read wherever.
The people who think 1st person is a new fad for first time authors need to read more lmao
Patricia Briggs was the first author (that I read) who used a combination of 1st person for her MC, and 3rd limited for the second MC. She didn't start doing this until the 5th book in that series, but I loved it. In my own work I use 1st for a deeper look into the world, and 3rd limited to step the reader back (less intense ). The story starts in 3rd limited, then goes into 1st, alternating between the two by chapter/character.
It fits how I write. I've been told by more than one person that no one would read it, find it too jarring. Yet, I still find books that do the same and people love them. I've decided to push onward and keep going.
@@spookyfirst9514 first person can be so good depending on what story you are telling and I've read so many where pov changed depending on person.
People who find it jarring likely just find bad books or can only tolerate third because they refuse to give anything else a try. Honestly tired of people complaining about 1st because most don't even have it as a preference. They just have not come across it much and are parroting others dislike instead of actually trying to read it for themselves.
As a newish viewer who has binged most of your catalogue of videos over the last couple of weeks- I find the honesty extremely refreshing and think if more people had your stance then discussions about the arts would be far more productive. I don't agree with everything you say and from your reviews get a sense of differing backgrounds/ideologies- but that's part of the appeal to me. Really fundamentally interesting to hear how other people percieve the world and social issues and if you can take those moments of conflicting views and use it as an opportunity to learn rather than just a chance to get mad and feel superior, everyone walks away more educated and open minded. It's obvious that you are really passionate about the craft of writing first and foremost which is what I'm here for!
Thank you for sticking around! That's all I can ever ask for and personally, having people who disagree can help me stay grounded from spiraling into seeing things only one way or being unable to hear disagreement, so thank you for being around and being willing to share in disagreements and discussions!
Boogie hop dance in space five was pretty good, I wish more people knew about it. I think my favorite character was Clive (AKA "Number 3") because he didn't talk much but when he said something it was actually clever, not just fake clever where the other characters comment on how clever it was. But I will say the scene where Number 5 comes in and does the Zero G Boogie-Woogie even though he has a partially sprained tibia and a broken left index finger--and he crushes it--that was pretty well done.
It bums me out that you have to even say these things.
Obviously if you ask for a critique you should expect to be critiqued. I can't imagine being mad at anyone who took the time to read something you wrote and give you their honest opinion.
Nothing beats a good critique. Makes you pay attention to what you write, and nothing is more insulting than a patronizing "good" review that just says some general compliments and doesn't go into the book at all.
Thanks Ian, I honestly can't wait to see what you think of my stuff when I get it to you, good or bad. I will completely trust your opinion.
I have a giant pile of books and a small well organized collection of books I've read. I blindly pick things based on luck and how much time I have. If I can finish the book I'll review it.
WOOT SHE SAID PICKLE!!! Take your like lady.
28:53 "If you're going to be on our, in our writing community then you can't do critical reviews of your peers/ of anybody else's work, because it's us against the mainstream."
Without peer criticism there's no growth happening. If they just want a place to rah rah and complain about how hard life is, they're welcome to have at it. It's not someplace I care to go. Seeking to replace an existing industry is a tall order that takes years. The biggest mistake I've seen so far is those who are pushing to replace _____ are only building a mirror image of what's already there. It's not new, and it shows. Plus, all the fighting to get clicks or please a bot is exhausting. High School had enough drama, why would anyone want to fall back into that hellscape for monetization? It's cruel to creators and viewers alike.
I'd rather do my own thing than become embroiled in a cause that will demand all my time.
32:34 The Banned Books reviews were difficult reads to a purpose: to discover if the stories were done to target young people with age inappropriate subject matter. I've referred parents to that playlist so they can see for themselves via your over views if it's okay for their kids. I don't see anyone else systematically going through those lists, taking the time to find out what the issues are. You've done good work there.
The bad author and fan behavior really frustrates me as an author. Like, I would be sad if someone didn't like my book, but oh well, I'm not everyone's cup of tea. I would be APPALLED if my fans went and crapped on someone or their review.
That's because certain people aren't looking for art they're looking for propaganda. I say that as someone who is political, I don't care about purity testing people (because I went through that with fellow "leftwing" people). Plus I go off of the principal of "see it all, before speaking."
@BJJohnson98 unfortunately we live in a world of aesthetics, no one looks at the material of things. An easy trap to fall into that creates a feedback loop of conformation bias. The poverty of philosophy you could say. I wish you luck on your story and good fortune.
@BJJohnson98 I'm in the same boat, (schedule wise) you can always make a short story and see where it goes. You won't know unless you try.
@BJJohnson98 write them anyway. I started by writing fan fiction (never shared it) in the worlds I liked. Then I reached out to an author and she encouraged me to keep going and make my own. So I did.
The current shallowness that's popular won't last. There is someone out there that will enjoy what you write. Keep on with it. Once you're ready, self publish.
As an old movie didn't say: "Write it and someone will read it."
Re: Bringer of Light; I'm going to send you my notes on that one when I'm finished. I read it in two ways: backwards for research of story, then from the beginning after giving my brain time to step out of research mode.
And you're right, it IS a magnum opus. Not for everyone, but the story's construction is done so that a wide range of readers will find something they like.
if i find out an author is having a tantrum on social media because someone didn't like their book, yeah, i probably would take the bad reviews very seriously and avoid that author's books like the plague. like you've lost my respect with your very public whining, congrats heather-ann dunn and others.
also, demanding people who aren't professional writers write perfect essays about a book they read for casual enjoyment... come on. tell me you're angry about a bad review without telling me you're angry about a bad review.
Sam Fenna should thank you for the review. I mean its for some people and the review sounds interesting, and dunno some people probably check it out of interst alone. Dunno why sam complains? It was a good review for art that, like the aart and concepts are actually praised and, yeah still pr for people that are interested. it sounds interesting.
A through honest review is , good and it praised enough that its , dunno why sam complains? Hell even shad, i mean milking him videos keep him relevant, and distract from his other drama.. While listening to criticism is good, there is an actual plus hater can help with, ther is rarely such things as bad press.
As valid as your views are doesn’t change the fact this is the environment in the whole industry. (I’m not even qualified to comment but think u are correct and I just like your videos)
But does it worry you that times are changing and this is just the norm much like movies storytelling is changing and this is what the new generation assume is correct and normal?
I know no one cares, but the review part of being an indie author is why I lost my mind. It was like “you need reviews, but don’t pay for them, give your book away in exchange for reviews, but don’t give it away to get paid in exposure. Share that you got reviews, but only the positive reviews. Don’t read the negative reviews, but use the feedback to improve. However, don’t let the world change you.”
I stepped away from booktube almost entirely, unsubscribed, from all but you, James Tullos and WithCindy because I was about to pull my head apart like that woman on the credit sequence of The Ghost Whisperer.
Reviews are such a mind game and everything around them's conflicting if you listen to advice about what to do with reviews, I don't blame you at all. I think they drive a LOT of people crazy.
19:22 The best part of Amygdala (for me) were the illustrations. Those were beautiful. The story was very ambitious and didn't land on several levels. I DNF'd when it went from a fever dream world into politics. The story needed a serious developmental edit, and those are pricey.
deleted my comment? lol
interviewing richard spencer twice to troll is actually really cringe. it doesn't make you a nazi but still yikes on bikes.
RUclips deletes comments for no reason a lot lately. You are not special.
You're not special. YT deletes comments a lot lately. It deleted my first reply to you.
RUclips deleted 2 replies to you. You're not special cory ~
@@Trissogynist seeing as how kirkpattiecake doesn't once mention interviewing richard spencer, it should be clear I commented on the wrong video
@@Trissogynist but piss off anyways
