I also love the first point you made. A novel is typically a rollercoaster of emotions, whereas a short story is almost a study of one emotion in particular.
“For sale: baby shoes, never worn,” is attributed to Ernest Hemingway. Hannah, I love your videos! Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️ The edit along ones are incredibly helpful.
It'd be great if you made more videos on flash fiction. Anything to help us get better at the craft and understand the format better. More videos like these, but also more on how to narrow the focus to a single event, and how to deliver that gut-punching emotion correctly, etc.
I swear I need a boot camp for subtext, I'm so bad at just getting surface level stuff when I read and write. It just doesn't click in my brain for some reason. I guess part of it is because I'm never really analyzing text, but even still
Subtext is tricky! It helps to think about real life conversations and see how people rarely say what they mean. Noticing what goes unsaid but understood in real life helps you to write it in fiction
I'm not sure if I've asked this, but when writing an anthology, do you have to have a common theme? I am/trying to write an anthology of flash fiction ranging from fantasy to Cosmic Horror Fantasy.
I think it's nice to be themed, for sure. I go in depth about it in my skillshare class about collections, which you should def check out! Free trial through the link in the description if you don't have an account. Just be sure to cancel it when you're done or it autorenews

I heard they it may have not been from Hemmingway but I didn't read up on it. 🤔

You know whenever you have an image for a character that feels right and then you realize it’s just the fairy godmother from Shrek 2

A good boot camp for subtext is watching any show with a super popular gay ship that is never made canon.

@@HannahLeeKidder In the words of Cobb from Inception, "[I] need to go deeper." I just hang out at the surface level of stuff too much, I think.
@@KailorAurelius 😂 You're not wrong
Can you please do a video on writing essays that have a word limit of like 300-500 words? Preferably the ones assigned by the schools?
when you say ur a short story writer and then you look and realize all you can write is a flash fiction 🤗😳😯😔
