1. Introduction: Hi everyone. My name is but forgot my, and I am based in risotto. And today's course we're gonna be talking about
ten writing tips, how to structure your writing. And we're gonna be talking about writing that emotional scene.
2. 10 Writing Tips You Need: First, before we begin, let's talk about the
ten writing tips that you're going to need. But if you have probably
mentioned before, but you need to I in the mouth. So like I mentioned, you have to make sure
that you write every day. Like I said, practice makes
room for improvement. So the more you write, the more you become better
at what you're doing, the more you become way, way better than you were before. And I'm going to have to join. I don't know, find yourself, surround yourself with
people who are writers to join our Writers
Circle workshop or a writing can perhaps
anything just surround yourself with people
who are doing something that you
already doing, that we are going to
be easily motivated. You're going to learn a lot
more easily in the first row. So just make sure that you have people who are doing what
you're doing around you.
3. Be a Word Nerd: Be a word, Ned. Okay. With this one.
This is what I do. I I'm currently
reading a dictionary. That's what I would do it. So for my dictionary, every day, I take five words from all of the alphabets in the
dictionary words each day. And I made sure that I
advise them, I have them. I tried to put them in my work somehow find words that are
meaningful for my, my work. And that way it
helps me with not repeating the same words in my writing over
and over again. In other words, that you type. And then when you read, you figured out
that this word is just so much in my writing, it's starting to bother me. You understand,
that helps you out with just avoiding that mistake. And make sure that of course, if you're a writer,
you don't just write. You read. And by we, I mean you read more than
you actually even right? But do not abandon your own work because
of other people's work. So the more you read, so simply going to lead you towards becoming
better at what you do. And you're learning from
other people's craft and that way, come on. What else? You are improving
yourself as a person. So read and read and read
and read as much as you can. But still remembering
that you don't just read. And then now you lose interest in your own
work because you're so focused on what other writers
are doing because trust me, reading is amazing and it definitely distracts
you from so many things. So make sure that you know
that you have a limit to what you're reading and you have a limit to
what you're writing. Don't consume too much and end up forgetting
your own work, right?
4. Avoid 'Awesome': This point is simply
just close to the last point I just
mentioned, are weighed Awesome. And what I mean by that is
figure out which words, you know, you, you, you, you like you
write on the most. Figure out which
words you repeat on a daily that are starting
to boil you a little. Dealt with just what? Challenge yourself
to come up with. Extra, extra ordinary words, new words that you
find really difficult. One thing about the dictionary is that it gives you a word, its meaning, and they help
you construct a sentence. Just write below, so that
will be very easy for you. Just make sure that you guys find like extra ordinary which to use in your writing to avoid what I call awesome. Awesome. By that I mean awesome is
everybody moves that word. So avoid those mistakes and make sure that you
describe the Monday. Find things in
your everyday life that that interests you, that you look forward to
every day you wake up. Things that trigger you to become a better person or
not even a better prison. Things that just make you lose interest in the
things that you love. Just pay attention to your surroundings and the
smallest details you get. Hope you just create
that motivation for where you're going with
your IT and it's going to definitely give
you a lot of ideas.
5. Ask For FeedBack: Most importantly, make
sure that you are, You asked for feedback. This is very important. And like I mentioned
in the last video, that a lot of us are
afraid of criticism. And so as a writer, you have to be up for criticism. Anyway. Whatever criticism you're
getting, ticket to hide. Try to understand
where your critique is coming from and
try to do better. Only if the critique
is making sense. Because there are some people
who will just criticize your work and not even understand where your
work is coming from or what's the point in
the view of your work. So first, be competent
with your work and then make sure that you are able to handle critiques, okay? And then take risks. Take risks. That is important. Because come on. Try new things. Just explore with your writing. Explore, find different
genres of writing, a setting, another
type of character. You never know what will happen, perhaps you know,
anything can happen. So don't stay in your own zone. Don't get too comfortable
in your element. Go out of your element, reach out, try new things, challenge yourself and
try new possibilities, because trust me, you'll
never know what will happen.
6. Find A Mentor: One another thing
that's important is try to find a mentor. Because honestly, a
lot of things you just do and then you
don't know much about. But when you have someone
who's guiding you and who knows way
more than you do, that makes work easier for
you and it's very helpful. So make sure that
you find a mentor. You know, they're
going to give you tips and they're
gonna definitely motivate you because when you surround yourself
with someone who knows who's been where
you're starting. Trust me, they know
a lot more than you do and they're going
to boost you so much. They're going to make you
want to continue with that because you're going to see
where they are in your head. You're gonna be
thinking, Oh my god, I also want to be there. So make sure that
you find a mentor, someone who just guide you
throughout your writing.
7. The Art Of Not Giving Up: Remember, do not give up because this one is
very important for me. I want you guys to be very strict with yourself
when it comes to this one. Do not give up, okay? Because even the
famous offers who are doing amazing work took them years and years and
years and years to evolve and to
actually become great. So whatever you do
to not quit, okay.
8. Story Structuring Part 1: So moving on to your
story structuring now. I like this one. We have a story or
you have a story. And you just have all of
these ideas in your head. You don't know where
to start, what to do. First. Begin with your main character. That way you're introducing your readers to your
main character, immediate. And you are what? You're, you're driving
them into what? To wanting to find out more about this main character
that you have, okay? And trust me, starting your, your story with your main
character mixed things so easy because that way
you gain like you gain more confidence to
actually continue with the writing because
the main character is obviously the one that has all of your ideas
and your ideas, most of your ideas are focused
on your main character. And so that makes it
so fun in so easily. And it definitely makes it
fun for the reader to show the MCV is normal
world while you are at that makes sure that
ensure the MCs normal world, the life that they've
chosen to leave, their life, their normal life, the things that are
comfortable with, the things that are
constantly doing, which is reasonably comfortable in or she is reasonably
comfortable. It just makes sure
that you give your readers your main
characters usual way of leading or doing
things before you can actually change to anything
about your main character, like fill them in, fill them in with everything
that your character does. That way it helps them
understand your character better and actually develop a relationship with
your character. And then show the MC, show the MC curve in a
characteristic moment. Yeah. By this I mean, okay. Let me give you an example. Probably a dog once a bone? Yeah. Less than a dog once a bowl. So what what can be more
characteristic than that? I'm going to continue
in that idea for you guys to actually
understand the law. But also start with movement. From the first moment
we see the dog. It's I don't know, this is me just
trying to give you an idea of what we can, what I mean by show the MC in a characteristic
moment there. When you when you first
talk about a dock and bone, obviously you know
that a dog gets very excited when
he sees a bone, it will jump up and
down, run around, you bark and move
its tail around. That's like its movement, right? It's, it's the doc, showing excitement for whatever it is you're going to give it, but in this case,
it's the bone, right? So yeah, include only
necessary information, right? As we, as writers
have like a habit of just dumping all of the ideas
that we have on writing. We don't actually develop a way of mingling every idea into something that's going
to interest the reader. But at the same
time you're sharing all of the information
you have, right? So it's like making
sure that you don't introduce any extra characters while you're still
in the beginning. To avoid confusing a
reader, like a lot. In one chapter,
make sure you have at least two characters
in one chapter. Don't make it four or
five that way you have, you have your reader thinking, Oh my God, I'm only at the
beginning of this book. By the time I reached the end, how many, how many characters
am I going to like? How many characters am I
going to engage with now? It's like it's a lot
for the reader to take in and make sure
that the backstory, my backstory, I mean, of course that your character
your character is you have, you have, you have a whole
plan of how you want to unfold your
character's life, right? Start with the life
they lived before, the one that you want
them to actually tap into that, okay? That way, that way you are
having the reader remembering, Oh my God, this person
was actually like this before they turned
out to be like this. And then as exciting, the readers perhaps lending
from from your characters what behavior and character? I don't know. Yeah, something like that,
something like that. Give readers a reason
to care about Joe Mc. Not that is very important because that is what
carries your book, your entire story or whatever. But make sure that
your readers care more than enough
about your MC and the away interested into your MC. Okay. And oh my god, MC. Of course you can, you
can understand that I'm talking about your
main character, right? So as soon as he started
hearing me saying mc, I'm talking about
your main character.
9. Story Structuring Part 2: And that with the MC
wanting something, I've already mentioned
that a dog once a bone. So start with your MC
wanting something. For instance, maybe
they want to achieve something by the
end of a period, like the time at time. At time period. Yeah. So like make sure that your your reader is
out to get something. Do you understand me like that where you have your readers fascinated into finding out how this character is going to achieve all of these things
they want for themselves. How they are going to get there? What obstacles are they going to meet while trying
to get there? So you already have your reader's mind trying to figure out so many things
about this character, but makes sure that you
make it easy and enjoyable. Don't make it difficult and boring because that
way you're going to have your reader just leave that book right there and
just forget about it, okay? Make sure that once you're
done with all of that, you end the first
plot point, okay? By that, I mean, your
first chapter per say your first two pages of the
book that you actually, you're actually done with them
with the first plot point. The dog, the dog, while the dog is trying
to eat the bone, it gets irritated by something. I don't know. Probably. Your kit comes along
and tries to eat the bone with the dog and
it gets really irritated. Now, you live in your
reader at the edge, at the edge trying
to figure out, Oh my god, is that they're
going to bite their head. Are they going to
share the bone? So you see, you
have your readers still interested and
still trying to wipe, trying to see where this book latest story
is actually going to go. Okay? But when you end
things like that, tab amine trip your
main character in a spiral of events
outside of his character. By that, I mean, just
create problems, create trouble for this. Does create a lot, lot and lots and lots and lots of trouble for this,
for this character. That way. You're also giving yourself
enough length for your book. Giving yourself enough
time to think about more ideas that have
to go with the story. As what, as you give your character like
a lot of trouble, you're figuring out
so many things. How are you going to tap
out of that trouble? How are you going to
make it exciting for the reader to keep going on
with the book or the story.
10. Story Structuring Part 3: So make sure that you also force your MCs main goal to
act out of his reach? The dog is running the poll. Okay? Now as the dog is
trying to eat the bone, it gets trapped by something. Now they can reach the bone. They can reach
where the bone is. You see? Now the dog is frustrated. It's trying to understand
it once the bone, but still at the same time, it wants to get
out of this trap. So you see, you're making
it very difficult for what? For your main character to
actually reach its goal. Now it has another
goal you understand. So do things like that, do things like that while
you structure your story, makes sure that
you have like you have everything planned
out in your head. And as soon as you
put it on writing, it tends out great. And give the MC and new goal. Yeah, a new goal. By new goal, obviously now
the dog is trapped, right? It's new goal is to get
itself out of that, out of that one,
out of that trap. The bone is still
their main priority. But for now they have one thing to focus on, which is to what? Get out of the trap so
that they can walk. They can actually get
that boom, right? So give your readers
exciting things, give you he does things to, things that they
would want to like. Really, really, really,
really keep reading on. Okay. Yeah. And at the midpoint, because the MC to make a
decision that shifts him from reacting to their
antagonist and to what? To figure out a plan. Get out of this
trap they are in. Just make your character think, think, and while it's thinking, make you think of
things that are so far beyond them actually getting out of this trap that
way you're making one. Remember, you're writing
length is still increasing. You're giving your readers
what Interesting, interesting. You're giving your readers
and interesting storyline. And they're going to, they're going to want to
continue reading, right? So make sure you do
things like that. Don't easily get, don't easily give your readers
the easy way out. Don't easily give your
character the easy way out. Like that dog be trapped for
so long and so frustrated. It doesn't even know which
idea is like its way out now, have it confused, Okay? That way you, trust me, your readers are going
to be interested. They're gonna be so interested in trying to figure
out, Oh my God, When is this dog like
finally going to get out of this trap and actually
get that bone instead. But at the same
time, don't make it. Don't don't drag
that for too long. Don't track it for
too long because as soon as you drag
it for too long, it's going to start
boring your reader. I mean, imagine now you're
talking to your friend. They're sharing your story. They keep repeating
the same event over and over and over
and over and over again. It's going to bore them. It's gonna, it's gonna
boil you a lot, right? And you're simply just going to get tired of even
trying to figure out what was the next thing
that happened from the story. Because now you're sober. You're thinking, Oh my God,
if I listen to this person, I actually continued
to give them my time. When they get to
a certain point, they're still going to go back to the same point
again and try to tell me and tell me and tell me the same thing over and over
and over and over again. We don't want that.
We do not want that. Share your ideas
in a way that you want to make them really interesting and you
want to drag them, but have a limit. Don't overdo it. Okay. Everything has a limit now, we all know that, right.
11. Ending Your Story: And bring your MC to a new
understanding of Himself, particularly the lie
he believes, Okay, and now it needs to
become someone better to defeat his antagonistic. Okay? So the most powerful
stories are those in which the MCQ obtained like physical,
physical victory, right? You know, when you're
fighting with someone, you can afford to lose a fight. You cannot afford
to lose a fight? Not that I've seen
anyone fighting. Well, I've been in any fights, but when you're in that
moment are fighting, the only thing you're
thinking of is I can not get injured. I am not the one who's
going to get injured. So no, no, no, no, no travel. Like give you a reader that that power of them wanting
to defeat this, okay? Like they want to defeat
this so bad they cannot afford to see themselves
becoming the loser. Okay? That way is it's going to
look like I keep going back. It's going to give your reader more interest in
reading further. What's going to happen next? You know, you're
leaving your reader at the edge trying to figure out what's going to happen
from year or my God, let me turn this page and
actually try to find out. Okay. So now you stretch your MC
your MCs, what resolve? Physically, mentally and
Murray, just stretch it. You know. Like you're better
than never easily one, they are never easily want. So keep your readers in doubt of the Euro that keep them
in doubt of the hero. Batman. Batman, batman is everyone's
favorite hero, isn't it? So that men doesn't always solve all of
his mysteries, right? Sometimes, maybe he does, but not all of them. And it's not it's definitely
not easy for him to stop. He has to go through some
trouble before you can actually say this matter is resolved. So do that. Same thing for your
main character. Just keeps going back to keep creating more trouble and more
trouble and more trouble. Your main character. Remember, tension makes things
a lot more interesting. Because like I told you, this world that cannot be an interesting place
without the villain, okay? So we also need the bad guys and the good guys make
sure that you always, always make sure that
you have both of those and you can balance
them really good, even if you don't balance them, just make sure that you have
your readers wanting to continue with your work day and at the same time
you're able to work, you're able to
handle the idea that you have for yourself
a new story. And you're gonna be able
to structure it really, really good so that you cannot just continue
with an idea. And then when you get
to the middle of it, you've run out of more ideas
on how to continue with it. So the only thing that's
going to make easier for you to actually
do that is to definitely make sure that
you just keep creating more trouble in trouble because we've trouble
comes with a solution. So the more trouble you create, the more solutions you're
going to have to find. Okay? That's a good thing. It's a good thing.
So what we write the MC at the last moment, okay? Now, I love drama, okay? I love drama. Make it dramatic. Just, I don't know. Give your main character
something, something dramatic, something traumatic,
something very, something that's very,
very, very traumatic. Your reader is going
to wonder, oh my God, when things get here, they're going to
go back to what? To reading. The last page that
they were reading, just to go back and
try to find that, Oh my God, what
happened from here? Not because they are confused, but because they're actually enjoying this drama
so much speed, they are not understanding
what really happened. Okay. They were
they were reading. They were reading, yes. But it's like they were
not really reading. So make sure that you give them drama that's going to
make them want to what bounced back and actually
tried to retrace your main character staffs and it's going to bring them
back to the same place. And that way what you read it is drawing your story,
structuring, okay? Yeah, and do that and
just make sure that you force your MC to
respond in a unique way. Every treble that your MC faces, make sure that they have like a unique way of
bouncing back from it. A very, very unique way of
bouncing back from it, okay? That way. Remember, your main priority
is what your reader, all you want is for
your reader to what? To keep reading
your story and to keep enjoying your story, okay? Yes. And remember that they don't
just have to keep reading. After reading, they have to tell everyone about your story.
12. More Ways Of Ending Your Story: Now we have what is
called image ending. Of course you can
understand this one. Image ending is simply where you don't say anything,
you just show. I don't think I even need
to elaborate further on that one because literally
the name says it way, way much more clearly right? Now we are going to help you writing that emotional scene. Okay? I like emotions. I like emotions so much. Like I enjoy emotional things. When writing that
emotional person makes sure that no
emotional words, please know your
character isn't said. Okay, happy, devastated, in pain in we never
scared or worried. Do not use those words. I'm sure you saw me trying
to sleep right there because those words
are worrying. Do not describe a
motion with words. No, no, no, no, do not do that. Imagine you're describing
imagine you're trying to write. You're trying to plot a line, and then you say, hello, It looks so devastated. Come on. Give us something, say
something like describe exactly how devastated
Hannah was. Okay? Because once you
simply just give us words like devastated, happy, angry, worried, those words simply cut down on the
heat of your story. And they definitely like that. Definitely way too hard for your reader to work
to connect to. Because it's like Hannah
was so devastated. Boom. That's it. You've
just simply cut off your reader and that's
simply the end to it. So we don't want that.
We want you to elaborate further on why Hannah
was devastated. In fact, don't even tell us
that Hannah was devastated. Just describe Hannah's behavior that will simply show that
Hannah was devastated. And that way you, what you have your reader connected to what to handle this situation
in that moment, alright? And make sure, make
sure that you use, actually use action. Instead of being angry, your character
should scream, okay. They should have the fist
tightly clenched and tremble. See what I did. Just take take the
emotion, you know, take the emotion and thought of how to show it and
use and use it instead, instead of just throwing words that describe the
emotion they fled on, so that the reader can simply understand the situation
that your character is in. Doing that adds like
a little olefin. It's more, it's more one
more seasoning to you. What do your work? And it has your reader what? A lot more interested, okay? Remember, I'll keep saying this over and over
and over again. The only important thing we
want for your reader to what, to be interested in what you are doing or in what you're
trying to show them, where in what you're
trying to share with them. Alright? Now, use perceptions. I love this one, I love it. Your character isn't said, know, your character is suddenly
seeing things differently. I'm gonna give you. Okay. Your character is seeing that
lover in a different way. They are trying to
understand their lovers knew what new behavior and this
simply just has them what? Losing what? They just have them losing interest in your
lover, in their lover. Or they're not, they're not connecting with their lover like the way they used
to connect before. That perception of what that person is changing
or it has changed, right? Because what love tends to loss and what smiley
now becomes Ts. Why? Because they are
trying to understand their lovers characters so much, but it's simply just
not making sense. And nothing is the
same after the, after the emotional action hits. So you definitely need
things like that. You definitely need lots of emotions that
are going to work, that are going to season you're writing and you're sitting. Please use setting. Your character is happy. Happy. Yeah, no, they are not. Your character is noticing
they're like the tiniest, tiniest, tiniest
things in their, in their, in their lives. And they're just not making
them happy. Dislike. Dislike. What? Just like when you, when you go and buy a new car, a new spot that it
has a scratch on it. Get hit disappointed. You get really
disappointed in your head. That way, your emotions
about the car simply changed because of a little
just that tiny scratch. Your whole, whole, whole view of the car is going to change. It's going to change. That's happening with what? That's what's happening
with your elaborate. You'd like. You're noticing that the
tiniest changes in them and you're simply just falling
out of love with them. Okay. Because when
you love something, you notice you notice more when it makes you
said you understand. When you, When you're when you're absolutely in
love or something, the tiniest things that
they do that make you like. The tiniest things that
are wrong that they do are what make
you the saddest. Because the good that
they do, it's okay. It makes you happy. But then the boat that they do, you're going to end up
forgetting that there's even what the good
that they once did. Okay? So make sure that
you use setting. You setting and setting
makes things so interesting because that way you get to compare
things, right? You get to compare the
good days, the bed days. And now you're wondering
what happened, what changed, what
what court is here. You understand and
definitely go out of bounds. You know that how high
emotion like often means. High emotions often
mean the low ability. Ability of thinking
things straight, right? Or even thinking things through. Again to make the
character wonder, like wonder the borders. Like wonder that bothers doing like a highly emotional moment. Like they should ask themselves. For seeing this
person like this. They have an explanation for this person that turning
out to be like have them, have them wondering and asking themselves questions that we can't even answer themselves. Like have them and in that
moment go out of bounds. Like have them scream, kick, or kiss harder, anything make them like knock some
teeth, anything. I promise you it's
okay to do that. And you are definitely
going out of bounds. It's so important to make things interesting
for your reader. Again, that's very,
very important.
13. NoteWorthy Tips: Definitely use dialogue. Use dialogue. By dialogue coming. You know, when people are just talking in
poking and poking, just use those lines where
you have Hannah token, you have Hannah's best
friend poking or anything. Okay. So use dialogue. Angry. No. You said things are things
that you recall and like you say things that you had and you don't mean
when you angry, right? So when you said, you will hide the truth and
you'll confess properly, use those human folds to advantage after your
characters dialog, which was an ability to open up during highly
emotional scenes. The priority they have
is to like handle, it's like handle what they
like, what they feel. So make sure that your dialogues are very, very interesting. Like make sure that your
dialogues are engaging. Also, don't just have them
interesting in the sense of you just want to get
your dialogue heated up. No big, make your dialogue
have sense, you know, make it, make it so easily for your reader
to connect with. Okay, yeah, make it so, so, so, so very easy for your, for your reader to connect
with and remember. For this thing to happen, you have to practice and practice and practice
because it's not easy to master
anything without practice. It's so not easy to master
anything without practice. So you're definitely
going to need to work to practice more and more
and more and more. Alright. Before that, we're
going to go back to what your story structuring. And I'm going to talk about
a point where we said, stretch your what your
MC your MCs resolve. Right. So I said that you should
do that physically, mentally and Maureen,
to the breaking point. Okay. Keep what keeps readers
in doubt of your one of your reader's ability
to work to Trump rate. So this makes your
main character even way more interesting. It makes them what makes
them have more things, like more and more and
more things to solve and want to get into
this way you work. You are still what, you are still keeping your
reader what interested. You just have to make
sure that whatever your main character
is going through, make sure that you stretch it. Stretch it, stretch it, stretch it to the point
where like there's gonna be a point and a point and another point on top
of another point. That way it's just
going to make things more interesting for you. Now. Let I mentioned, you have to make sure
that you weren't you force your sees main goal to add up out of
his reach, right? I go back to this point
because it's very important. When you make things
easy for your reader. You're giving them like they are now like a
step ahead of you. You understand their step ahead of you in terms
of in their head. When, when, when, when
your reader is reading your book from whatever
events you give them, they already have something
else imagined in their head. Okay? So when you, when you give, when you give you your main
character like a Limited, a limited number of ways
to get out of a situation. You make it so easy
for the reader to simply guess what's
going to happen. And it's okay,
sometimes it's okay. But what we want is for
the reader to what? To keep flipping the pages. We don't want the
readers saying, I know what's going to
happen after this one. That's very boring. Like a storyline that
has your reader. So sure about everything
they already have planned out in their own
head is like so boring. And it simply shows
how much of her, how much of a lazy
writer you are. Okay, don't be lazy writer. Do not be lazy. Vita. Go all out to share your ideas. Go all out. Like experiment, you know, like I said, before, you need to don't, don't stay in your comfort zone. Do not do that. Explore
other generous, explore other characters and other settings that
we want that way. Even when you're in
your own element and you're very comfortable
in your own element. You what, you have other
things to fall back on. You have other you have other materials to fall
back on or which is what? It's also what
increasing your ideas and increasing
your ways of what, of focusing on your own rating. And that's exactly what we need. We need you to stay motivated
while you're still writing. And the only way to do that, the only way to do
that is if you have so many things that are going to influence
your way of thinking, the way of plotting your ideas, the way of structuring
your story. And it's very important to
have a well-structured story, okay, so like I told you
before in the previous video, what I normally do is like
before I actually right before I actually type my writing and put
it in my laptop, what I do is I handwrite, write I write it
down, and trust me, I write to complete
the writing day, I write and I'm done
writing with my hands, and now I can go
to my typing rate. That way. What gives me, what it gives me a way of referring from here, where I first when I first had my writing
rate into my laptop. Now when I'm writing in my
when I'm typing on my laptop, I'm simply what also correcting what the
mistakes I had here. Changing a few ideas that I had on this first
piece, right? Because trust me, ideas
change with time. The more you keep writing, the more you're going to want to go back and check and say, Oh my God, I shouldn't have
put this idea like this. This idea shouldn't
be on this chapter, it should be on
another chapter, okay? And so that way you
are simply what you're simply evolves
in your writing and bombarding all of
these ideas that you have into something
huge and one, right? And that's what we want. We want you to
have strong ideas, ideas that are strong, and ideas that you're very, very, very much confident in. Because the main
thing we want is for you to complete that story, finish it makes
sure it's finished. That is your main
priority. Okay. That's like the most
important thing that you need to do, right? Yeah. And also have like
your main character. Don't have your main
character two isolated. Don't have your main
character two isolated. And I know I said Do
not bring up lots of characters within 11111
chapter of your writing. Okay, That's also
part of stretch of structuring your work, right? You have to know the do's and don'ts of your writing, okay? So make sure that when
you're writing, you have, you have your character in the highest
wrench here on top. But at the same time,
don't have them too isolated because you're
scared that, Oh my God, I cannot, I cannot invite, I cannot invent too
many characters here. It's going to have
my readers confused. Truth is, it's the technique that counts. It's how you do it. If you're very much
sure that okay, if I read three to
four characters here, right in the sport, my reader is going
to be able to get to have a relationship
with them all. And up until we reach the
end of your story, do that. Don't limit yourself. Like I said, bees,
be comfortable. But at the same time, what? Remember the rules that
come with writing, the rules and the tubes
that come with writing. So make sure that
while you're trying to become this good,
good, good, right? Tau, or this good story. Good story. You want to structure
your story in a good way. You do not limit yourself because now you're
scared of what? Of the rules that
come with writing. Remember, rules are meant
to be broken or gay. That's come on. I mentioned this before. Roles are meant to be broken, but you cannot break rules
that you do not know. So it's okay for you
to know the rules, but at the same time, so careful you to break them. Okay. So break those
rules if you have to, just make sure you break them in a way that it's not gonna be, it's not gonna be easy for
your reader to recognize that something is
off here, okay? Because trust me, your
reader is very cautious. Reader is going to
judge your, your, every step, every page
they are reading, they are trying to
find something. So make sure that you are
very, very much quotient. You very, very much cautious
when you write, you know, the things that you need to put, you need to put in this chapter and the next chapter
and that chapter. And remember, do not
bombard your reader with lots of ideas all at once. You can bombard your video with all of the ideas you have. What do I mean by
Bomba is there's a way of introducing,
introducing ideas, right? Sometimes we get like
two what we get, we get carried away while we think when thinking that
our writing is so good. You know, when, when, when an idea is so good in your head, and then you're
enjoying it so much, you simply just
start throwing in everything you had and you
haven't putting it down there. That's not what we want. We want you to like. Okay, we get it. You have this great
idea in your head. And it's amazing. Okay, We get that. But make sure you have like a proper way of sharing all of those ideas
that you have, right? Do that and that way
you're still keeping, remember, now we're
trying to wipe, we're trying to structure
that writing and trying to make it worth trying to make it. What I'm trying to make it, what we're going to
work, what we're going to enjoy at
the end, right? So make sure that you
structure it in a way that, in a way that's so neat. So neat, you're
going to even forget what your editor, okay? Because remember, at
the end of everything, wherever you begin, you
must end with an editor, you, or someone else. But for me, sorry, I simply advice
that you actually find two to three people who are actually going to
help you edit your work. Because you can be,
it can be what? You can decide to actually
edit your own work yourself, but then not end up
editing it like so, so well or well enough. You should just find yourself someone who's willing to take, someone who's willing to invest their time into actually what, actually helping you edit that book and edit
it without cheating, without trying to manipulate you into believing that they are. What advice is better
than your vision? Okay? Don't, don't don't don't don't find someone who's
going to help you with that. But at the same time, Who's going to, who's going
to manipulate you into what, into believing that
their version, that version of the editing
is way better than your own. And like I mentioned before, that is only going to be easy. That is only going to
be achieved if, what? If you are not confident
in your writing? If you're not competent with
what you have done, right? So first be competent
with what you've done, and then now move to
the other person. Alright? So remember that what is
important in all of this, whether you are actually
thinking of writing that novel, or whether you've not even
started writing that novel, you're only planning
on doing that. Remember, at the end of it all, what is needed for
you as a writer, for you to practice, practice, practice, save all of those
drafts that you have. Saved them and save
them and save them. If you're not completing the
work just keeps saving them. Save them and save them, and move on to new things. Move on to new things, move on to new things. Because what practise,
practise opens room for what? For improvement here. So I've simply like
you guys to do that.
