Brandon has earned a page-long dedication in my first published book and a small mention in every future publication of mine for as long as I am a writer because man, I dont think i would ever had understood all of these concepts or internalized these tricks without someone like him explaining them as concisely as he has. Finding his videos has forever changed my writing and my mindset as a writer when I was ready to give up. Understanding the "science" behind crafting stories in the way he explains it has helped me believe that with enough practice and dedication, i can probably become an author too.

17:00 Reading Terry Pratchett's Night Watch right now, and it gets into time travel. He handles this masterfully: 1) He has the time traveler explain relevant info using his own worldbuilding lingo, 2) The time traveler says, for certain things, "I can't tell you that because it will mess up time" basically, and 3) When the guy learning about this is very confused (because Pratchett is doing a little hand-waving), he says, "magic."

The revenge against the past self concept reminds me of Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, which was a great book

55:00 Great pep talk! This is how I feel. I run a business, so does my wife, we have 2 kids right now. I discovered I love writing six years ago, wrote a book in 1 year (before kids), and have been revising it since. I LOVE writing and even revising. I love seeing it improve, learning the craft, escaping to that world, thinking about how we can make ours better, how we can be better people--oh and doing awesome magicy dragony stuff =) I'm super excited to share my book with my friends at various stages. I've approached agents and may continue to, but if I find no success there, I'm super happy to just keep on writing! Thanks Brandon, for being the kind of guy who just wants to tell stories, and forget the rest!

54:00 Fighting more than 1 opponent at a time, the best description I've heard is "Lining them up on a wire and chopping them down 1 at a time." In other words, you always try to fight only 1 person at a time--you do NOT let yourself get surrounded (unless you know the Force/magic).

35:00 I prefer just not using italics or anything. I like writing (and reading) from as close inside the POV character's head as possible. So everything is their thoughts.

Omniscient sounds like a bestie spilling the tea and you're hooked waiting to hear how it plays out.

she's mentioned that sexual scenes in YA are usually minimal and end in 'black screen', and later when she talked about swear words, she said putting just two F words into her book - ruined her sales, people wouldn't recommend it to each other and she wants to re-release the book without those swear words, because she regrets it. And those F words came from a convict character! And here I am, in 2024, where the bestselling YA fantasy novel has 2 swear words per page, spoken by 20 year old girl protagonist, and that book also has porn scene lasting 100 pages. Not a sex scene, but a porn scene. How things have changed in just 10 years... btw I'm talking about Fourth Wing

9:00 This is why I don't understand why people use "said" SO much. A lot of my dialogue paragraphs start with a "beat" or have one in it. And most of the other dialogue tags should be clear who's speaking by the context. I hear what you're saying about not having a beat on every single one, but I just greatly prefer when I'm not constantly reading, "he said."

I am a short story writer (unpublished) who is struggling to make the transition to novels. I am of the opinion that there are minor differences in the structure of a short story versus the structure of a novel that make a novel far more than just a short story that keeps going. I think an in depth analysis and comparison of what it means to have a central conflict in a short story versus a novel is needed
