    Hey Brandon, Dallin seems like a super cool kid. He said at the beginning that he's interested in animation and or video game art. I'm a 3D product artist and I would highly recommend you get him set up with Blender and some tutorials. I'm severely dyslexic, but it turns out that a lot of dyslexics think in 3D instead of 2D like most people. That's why 2D concepts like words and numbers get mixed up in our heads, our brains are trying to figure out how they look in 3D so they get flipped around and mixed up. I started learning 3D software in middle school and high school and it changed my life forever! Suddenly I knew what I was good at and what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. So please, get that kid into some 3D classes! It might not be right for him but there is a really good chance he will take it and run with it. :) Dyslexics for the win!

      And then proceed on a decades long journey of pain, failure, loss, and eventually striving to become a good man again, in order to help save your loved ones and humanity as a whole. Dalinar is definitely not a 1D character, and the best chapters imo are where we see how flawed and evil he was, so we can contrast that to how good he could become/is becoming. i.e. the entire point of (at least the first 4 so far) books, where humans prove that they can change and be better. Literally every major character in stormlight so far is this lol. I hope he reflects one day on how his namesake idealizes how people can change, and should change, so that they can become better.
      But yeah it was funny that he looked surprised and expected it to be the other way around, I hope it didn't upset him!

    Hey Brandon (or others) how do you fight the feeling while writing that you're writing something really weird?
    Brandon Mull has talked about the weirdness of writing a teenage girl. On my end, I feel embarrassed about writing a fantasy about merpeople. What can I do to get past this?

    • @pjc7729
      @pjc7729 3 года назад +8

      Acknowledge the thoughts of weirdness and keep on writing. Your mind is your tool not your enemy.

    • @WasatchWind
      @WasatchWind 3 года назад +8

      @Annie Wavecrest Well, I'm embarrassed because... well, I'm a guy. I don't think it makes much sense, but it is pretty widely perceived that merpeople are for girls.
      Regardless, my story takes place in a world where a coastal human nation and a collection of merfolk city states are in a constant on and off war.
      In this conflict, the humans have captured merpeople, where they keep them in "farms" to harvest their colorful scales, using them in things like jewelry.
      The crux of the story revolves around a boy named Irian who works at a scale farm, and it follows him as he confronts the complex situation between the humans and merfolk.

      @@WasatchWind iirc, he (but it might also have been another writer's interview/podcast) once said that he had that in the beginning too, but not so much now. The more you write, the more you get your style and rhythm, as well as your strengths and flaws - so it's easier to catch it when it happens and easier to fix it after it happens. When it does happen, you can get it out while editing, even before giving it to alpha-readers. When it happens in the beginning, it's better to push through and try to fix later, or get tips etc, than to stay and try to fix something. The inertia will slow everything down. Either push through and fix later or skip and try again later.
      I'm not a writer myself, but I remember something like this, because I'd be deathly afraid of that happening too, before showing it to someone.
