    What I like the most about your channel is that you don't try to paint any of the thoughts in your story as cure-all absolutes. It really feels like an analytical thinking-out-loud session sat here with another writer-reader mate! Thank you for that :)

    Oh my. You just gave me an idea for an awesome short story. Or, hell, maybe a novel. I can see possibilities.
    And I can see that I need to ponder my character motivations in the novel I'm currently writing - I see issues.
    All-in-all, an excellent video! This is a permanent keeper in my REVIEW WEEKLY bookmark file folder.

    I think you may have just changed the course of my story. I was struggling with what I was trying to write, but I just did a quick motivation check on my main characters and realized that I'm trying to tell the wrong characters story. One of my formerly side characters has a far more interesting motivation and potential arc. I think she's going to become the lead and focus of the story. Thank you Maybe after 15 days of flip flopping on what this story is supposed to be, I can finally get stuck in and start writing it proper.

    Absolutely precious, thank you! I've been bashing my head against the wall all these years, unable to grasp that elusive "motivation" notion. And you made it all so perfectly clear! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 💖😍🥰

    Good reminder.
    I knew this. But seriously gotta work harder to keep it in mind when building characters.

    Wait, this isn't an Art channel?

      o melhor é usar um nome japonês, comentando em português num canal inglês 😂

    I am really struggling with the outlining/general pre-writing process. Thinking about this on the concrete to abstract spectrum helped a lot.

    They will concrete-ify, haha!
