I'm familiar with the start, stop, keep practice as well. For that, it's hard for me to really do a start, stop, keep with your RUclips format, because it's rather simplistic. Not in a bad way, but there isn't anything I can say, stop, really. Start also is hard because since you've just started these videos, I have no knowledge of your video editing skills and wouldn't want to ask you to add something you can't actually achieve. As for keep, that I have a suggestion. Keep the honest, candid opinions of your work and your lack of work. Reading all types of writing is good. I could recommend a variety of fantasy/fiction-style writing so you get a broader scope of the good, bad, and ugly of it. I'll mention A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula K. Le Guin, a fairly unknown book series, at least in my opinion, has its first book called Sabriel, by Garth Nix, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams, A Series of Unfortunate Events, by Lemony Snicket, and to add a little craziness into the mix, The Dream_Quest of Unknown Kadath, by H.P. Lovecraft. That will give you a wide range of writing styles and slants on fiction. Now, this isn't something I'd recommend to you normally, honestly because of the darker subject matter and use of some questionable, okay, bad language, but for time travel fiction, you could also watch an anime called Steins;Gate that has an extremely unique take on time travel. Still, for the basics of story writing, sticking to the books is just fine. Plus, you all are busy and I doubt you'll be able to get through all the books you probably have listed to read already.
[ND] Thanks for your suggestions, Jon! I have read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and I believe my dad has as well, but I'm not familiar with the others you mentioned. I'll make sure those get on our list of reading materials to look into!
