Autocrit without Daniel is inconceivable! He’s been such an effective coach!

Great content, as always! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

Thank you for wrapping up reality with a big red bow and a wonderful sense of humor, sir from @autocrit. Malika

I just signed up for lifetime membership! 🎉 I can get rid of my other subscriptions for the other tools I'm using now.

Thanks for all you do @AutoCrit!!!!

I love a good reverse trope when it is effectively used in the narrative! So much fun! Side note: Love the tropey visuals in the beginning of the video. Great stuff, good info!

I see a short story collection of reverse tropes.

Sounds fun...

Can’t wait!,

Interesting to see you go through the process of editing your own work. Thanks for sharing!

I am sorry, but if you are an adult, reading an adult novel, but you can only read at a 5th grade level, it seems you are shopping in the wrong part of the book store. "Improve that from a grade 12 to a grade 5". I am quite certain someone thought this video was going to be helpful, but between the "logic" of improve down a grade level, and the constant mouth sounds from the MC, this is just intolerable. lol

What's funny is that when writing fiction I am very much the person that tries to match plot points beat by beat and does more research on the topic than writing, which now that I think about it might be a procrastination technique. Anyway for all that I plan out my stories, planning was my least favorite part of writitng essays in school. I was very much the type to go where the topic took me and then hash out a sort of mind map or whatever when I was done if only because they were required.

“Watch that Google search.” So true. I am in the process of writing a mystery story right now. I Googled searched how does cyanide kill you and the very first hit that came up was the 988 helpline. 😆😆

Thank you! I learned a lot!!

Love your style!

An effective exploration of things to avoid in the writer's mating dance to woo the reader's attention. Loved the presentation style-great energy as always Daniel-and in the future, an actual bird costume might not be too far if executed correctly for emphasis. 👍✨️

Thanks for these comprehensive examples applying AutoCrit features. I thought it was similar to Grammarly until you showed those impressive analytics reports.

Ok- here is what I have and if someone is reading this and has an input on it- I would appreciate it. 1) the clues part. I am thinking of trying to make the reader think they have a clue but it's just a normal scene(ex/ a characterkeeps hearingnoises in the house, in reality it's just a rat) , and think something is a normal scene but is actually a clue (the rat made them not focus on these scenes that they don't notice that the character is allergic to a certain food which will clear them off on a case we thought they were connected to it) 2) the motivation part. I wanna make the M.C, the investigator, a workaholic, resulted from a childhood trauma, which gives her a motive to always work to her finest point, and her emotionally feeling bad for the victim makes her more invested in the case . 3)the twist part. The story starts with 1 case if assault. To a case of serial killer. 4) the easy ending part. I wanna make a fake ending where she finds the killer and puts him in jail. But oh no! She was wrong. And she needs to fix up her mistake. 5)the researching part. I already searched up everything with chatgpt. What is a detective able and inable to do ? What are their limits? How does a case file look? How does an interrogation room looks like? How many times does someone need to hit their head to k-ll themselves? Would someone have bl00d dripping down their mouth from a head injury? Why is that? And I am planning to continue this.

I watched the entire video on Tuesday evening, November 26th. The Black Friday coupon code was dropped in the Chat. Since I did not watch it live, I had no access to the Chat feature. Where else might I find the AuroCrit Backwards Outlining opportunity at a discount?

I would rather die penniless and never have written a story in my life than use AI to cheat on any part of writing.

I cannot thank you enough for the Story Analyzer tools! I love the way Autocrit is evolving to meet author needs. The Backwards Blueprint is a game changer. A question for future tools: will you add a blurb feature? I believe the promise of a premise, or premise, will help me construct my blurb going forward, but it would be cool to have a blurb section by itself. Again, thank you!!

I must admit, I’m not entirely clear on what a "story bible" is in this context-or perhaps more accurately, I’m not sure I see its relevance to my storytelling. Assuming I’ve already written the story, and it’s complete and published, why would I need a bible? The only reasoning I can think of is that if I planned to write a sequel, it might be helpful for consistency. But honestly, if my story is so complicated that I need this to maintain continuity, doesn’t that suggest I made the story too complex? We're not all George R.R. Martin or Brandon Sanderson, after all. Don’t get me wrong-I completely understand the utility of a story bible for authors managing sprawling EXPANSivE universes (looking at you, James S.A. Corey) or epic-length series. But for a completed stand-alone book or a simpler narrative, creating a story bible feels, well, unnecessary. If I find myself struggling to keep track of details, maybe the issue isn’t with the lack of a bible, but with a tendency to overcomplicate things. I lean toward contained storytelling, so while I can see the value for others, I question its relevance to my own work. See, here’s where it gets funny (or tragic, depending on your perspective). I’ve written five volumes of Sci-Fi/Fantasy-all set in the same fictional universe. My original story, Chromosome Quest, written in late 2014/early 2015, was a one-off. A stand-alone. A complete tale with no plans for a sequel. And yet… I wrote one anyway (Chromosome Conspiracy). Then, to my everlasting folly, I went for a trilogy (Chromosome Warrior), where I killed off almost everyone to ensure there could be no further shenanigans. But, dear friends, the madness continued unabated. I wrote a prequel (Undercover Alien)! And then, insufficiently mortified with my previous mistakes, I compounded them by writing another prequel (Cicada Serenade). At this point, I swore I’d stop. No more expansions. No more sequels or prequels. So... I launched a Kindle Vella series (Tommie Powers and the Time Machine), which-mercifully-will remain unfinished thanks to Amazon’s wise decision to shutter Vella. So, why do I need a story bible? Just because I’ve clearly proven myself incapable of sticking to a stand-alone story? Come-on... Let’s just say I find chaos is its own kind of creative muse. Thanks for the great discussion.

Great addition! Can't wait to try it out after the completion of second draft!

Excellent video! Liked & subscribed! I am in the process of saving up for a few months to purchase a brand new Royal Scriptor 2 electronic typewriter. I have worked for 33 1/12 years in a passionate vocation as a Volunteer Amatuer Pet Detective\Missing Pet Consultant. I intend to begin noveling as many of my cases would make interesting stories to tell. I also was considered to have creative writing talent in my school days. I suppose the only possible issue is that not many of my cases have actually involved crimes. Still I have a feeling that the novels would likely appeal to mystery lovere & animal lovers of all ages so I am determined to get published.

Looks like a great tool!

This is a GREAT addition! Thank the whole team for us!

This is an awesome addition to AutoCrit. Thank you.

Any planners in here?

thx i am studying for my exam :3

You know what? As an aspiring screenwriter, these "tips" are moot, null and void. Dialogue is written differently in screenplays than it is in novels and short stories.

They can take the oxford comma out of my dead god damn hands.

Man, I just farted and shit my trousers. Explosive scene, to say the least.

Dudley was the muggle cousin, not the one whose parents were killed because he had the same birthday as Harry Potter.

Thank you for this! I loved the explanation of each point as always.

Why is autocrit so slow when writing?

Daniel, I typed 279 words

“What ?!He’s really an alien!”😂😂😂😂

Go Team Planner! Night Visitor Continuation the Woman's Wing. There was a girl who had eaten some ice cream and was allergic to milk. She broke out in hives. The ER team had to pump her stomach. Then there was an old man who had a heart attack. He checked on him and looked at his stats. The ER team welcomed a lady on the stretcher coming in hot with a dog bite that was bleeding profusely. The ER team tried to stop the bleeding the best they could. By then, it was time for his lunch. He opened the refrigerator and got out his chicken sandwich and his Pepsi. He sat down and his friend Sasha joined him. "You know Matt, you need a break. Let's go to the movies and eat at our favorite restaurant and do some dancing tomorrow night on your day off" Sasha said. "That sounds like something I need. All right." Matthew said looking at his watch. "One hour lunches go by quickly don't they?" Sasha said. "Yes, they do. I have to get back. I'll meet you at the movie theater tomorrow night." Matt said putting on his white coat. Doctor Matt took another deep breath and went into the ER. Could it be that he was burning out about his job? Could it be he didn't want to be a Doctor anymore? There was a baby that was 90 days premature. It was in a clear box and was plugged up with many wires. The baby was being airlifted to the nearest Children's Hospital. Doctor Matt held the tiny hand to comfort the baby. The baby was wheeled outside to the helicopter pad. Then a 7 year old child was waiting for him. He had hit his foot on the curb doing fetes with his skate board. It turned out that he had a Ganglion Cyst on his heel. Doctor Matt put on an ace bandage and gave him some pain killer.

It was a rainy Monday. Unlike any other Monday. Doctor Matt went to work at the ER. He looked around and this day seemed the same as the others. His job was tedious and he took in a deep breath and shook his head and walked into the ER. There was a boy who had gotten hit by a car on his bicycle. He had a few cuts and bruises and his head was bleeding. Stitches and bandaging up and Doctor Matt said "Next". There was a woman who was in labor. He helped her and it was a couple of hours before she would give birth, so she was sent to...The name of it is Night Visitor.

Daniel, I have written 12,342 words so far.

I don't agree in the least; Stephen King is wrong about adverbs.

I'm team plantser. I think plantsers will win because we have a plan but we also revel in the freedom to veer off to wherever our imagination takes us.

I love the description of building our block of granite that we will later carve our novel out of.

My newest manuscript is contemporary fiction/women's fiction, with a climate fiction backdrop. What genre would you use for Amazon?

I'm an Autocrit lifer, but I have to say there is conflicting advice throughout this video, and these conflicts are present in the user interface also. The "Showing vs Telling" button in autocrit can be helpful for some things, but not for what it’s labeled. As one of the hosts in this video points out, the famous “Show Don't Tell” advice is all about using evocation (getting the reader to infer things while the author emphasizes events and stays invisible) instead of exposition (summary description). Unfortunately, the video’s examples of this are mostly off, and sometimes off by 180 degrees. If done properly, Show Don't Tell should result in fewer adjectives, not more. And as for describing emotive body movements or the five senses, yes those are sometimes necessary, but if they're the focus rather than being tucked into the action, then they can feel like an amateur shortcut toward evocation when there are better blow-by-blow storytelling alternatives available. To clarify, let's say I want to evoke a nervous room. Here’s an example of Show Don’t Tell that dodges all adjectives and most sensory words to evoke the nervousness of the room without any summary description: “John paced near the doorway puffing on one of his Marlboros, Marge attacked the keys of a typewriter, and Clemmons stared out the window onto 33rd Street hoping all hell didn’t break loose with the protestors.” That’s the “showing” version (good). The “telling” version looks like this and it’s bad: “John's shoulders were visibly clenched and so were Marge's, absorbing the nervousness of the room.” (….this is bad even if I delete the part after the comma, because it’s still acting as a summary description of a nervous room rather than evoking a nervous room through actions, dialog, and events such as the obsessive cigarette smoking and the protesters outside the window)

I spent a lot of time organizing a bunch of different character and story information into one composition book to help me as I write. It eliminates my sifting through all those pieces looking for things. Then I can plug important things into the notes section of AutiCrit.
