Sympathy for Villains

This week's video is a little different from what I normally do, but I'm hoping it will spark your interest. With new novels constantly coming out you want your book to stand out from the others. How do you do that? Complex characters. In this case it's our villain.


Comment below if you want other videos like this were I talk about different elements you can through into a story, OR if you have questions about an aspect in writing or publishing comment below and I'll make a video on it!

Loosing Focus in Writing

The thing I was trying to say in this video is that loosing focus isn't always a bad thing. In fact, sometimes it can be a very good thing! Left the words flow, write then down and don't worry about how everything will come together until you finish the first draft of the manuscript/story. Then for draft two you can make sure everything flows.


So, are your best ideas the spontaneous ones that come in the moment of writing. Or are your best ideas the planned out ones you make...say, when writing an outline?

Outline Misconceptions

Just because I've come to love outlines so much I chose to, once again, talk about them! Though this time I do go into much more detail. Enjoy and don't forget to comment!

Forming a Story


I don't know about you but I'm the type of person who can just sit down and write. I have to have a geam plan! So here it is, the simple things I do BEFORE I start writing a story.
Are you one of the lucky people who can just sit down and write? Or are you like me? Having to make an outline and figure out all the detail before hand?
