Calling yourself "prize-winning" without naming the prize is cheezy. Anybody can make up a prize. I literally uncovered three yahoos who built their own "contest" website and gave each other "prizes." Either say it completely or leave it out.

yea really cool I will sub too you keep it up

Thank you so much! This is brilliant! The first draft of my novel has gotten to the point where I really needed something like this to get it finished. Forever grateful ❤

This was super helpful to me - thank you!

This is so generous of you, Nicola. Tank you for your dedication to "passing the torch and helping those of us trying to break in to do just that!

Thank you! Talking about the dream, King mentioned in "On Writing" that he had dreams that also became part of the stories. Yes, indeed, he does not mention that dream of being a great writer. I just wonder if the dreams came from memories or imaginations. He writes for his passion and pleasure. He advised to not to think about how much the pay is.

00:41 🗑 Stephen King's "On Writing" emphasizes not discarding any work; salvaging saved King's "Carrie" and taught valuable lessons from mistakes. 02:21 📝 Embrace rejections; they are steps toward eventual success, offering learning opportunities and constructive feedback. 04:30 🌍 You can write anywhere; Stephen King wrote his breakthrough novels in unconventional spaces, emphasizing comfort and psychological space over perfect settings. 06:25 💭 Dreams can mislead; King's grand writing office didn't boost productivity. Writing success isn't solely tied to ideal spaces or material dreams. 08:44 ✍ Write a messy first draft; focus on momentum and completion rather than perfecting every sentence initially, then refine in later edits. 09:57 🚪 "Write with the door closed, edit with the door open": Initially, focus on expressing freely without concern for audience; then, open up to refining for readers. 13:15 🌟 Persistence is key; despite doubts and rejections, perseverance in writing is crucial for growth and success. 15:07 📖 Read "On Writing"; Stephen King's book offers invaluable insights into the craft, industry, and mindset required for success in writing.

Any advice about Process should understood in the context of Individuality. Messy Fast Draft vs Slower Clean Draft - who cares which Process or Method the writer uses? Each writer needs to discover what best works for him or her.

Thank you for this video 🥰

Please make more of these!

I followed King from his beginnings and find him UNreadable Torture for Masochists King is a Sadist who LOVEs to torture should be in Jail

What a woman.

Imagine a heckler saying, "She should have left Carrie in the trash." --Ohhhh! Just to rib him.

Nice video!

Shout out to Tabitha King! Thank you for being so wise.

Hi there. I am struggling with MS Word and not sure if it is because I am using the 360 Office version or because I am trying to use one of the MS templates. Do you recommend starting out with a blank format or using the template?

❤

Damn, this hit me.

I use google docs since i can use it anywhere

I need to know what the resolution with Jon was meant to be ... In the killing jar ... Like was the dog in the shed meant to mean that Mark had done it to that boy from the trash can and jon too?

I can't find anything online to explain forsure what happened to Jon in the killing jar and it's literally eating me up inside

I loved this story..... Would you like to read a story I wrote

Unable to understand and use Microsoft Word, so not applicable to this writer; type-writers are better.

I keep the door shut but it doesn't help much. Most of my writing is at home where my adult children still live. Even when I am squirreled away in my room, there's a lot of distractions going on throughout the house that pull my attention away from my writing. The biggest help from me has been wearing earplugs. Either I'll wear the earplugs as is, or layer them up with a pair of headphones playing some white noise or Lo-Fi music over it. Even when the house is quiet, I sometimes use my earplugs. I find that the extra layer of nothingness really helps my concentration.

This is gold

Very informative. Merci beaucoup.

Thank you, this was VERY helpful! It's scary to think how many years I have written in Word with my ADHD diagnosis, and this would have made my life so much easier :) Subscribed! <3

I know this is an old video of yours, but I just found you and here we go ... When you told about your manuscript of 80 000 words getting published as a 5 000 words short story, I wonder, what is happening about all those lost characters and scenes? I mean, we avid readers know fiction is a parallel universe, they are as real as any living in a small town in Mexico or a city in Japan. So, where do they go? Do they end up in a Neil Gaiman book?

That is awesome. Positive great healthy beautiful advice. Thankyou

Her biography is very intriguing, also. Peace on earth.

Excellent story!

Have you tried things like Notion or Coda? Any thoughts on how this compares against them?

thanks

Very interesting please provide a picture of the book an title 💚is this new version ? this book does not look like the american style

I wish I had these tools 10 years before, when I wrote my course works in the university. Thank you, I will use the tools in the future

Oh, this was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks very much.

The MOVIE VERSION of the book "Desperation"... SUCKED ASS! King was PISSED at how BAD the movie was. It was a GREAT story ... turned to DOGSHIT!

King's book, "Desperation," is the essence of evil, brought out in the darkest form you can't possibly imagine. It is his GREATEST work, ALL 690 pages of it. A MUST READ!

Thank you so much for posting this. I have been a Scrivener loyalist for ten years or more but have found myself as of late being frustrated with the software. It has become so complicated and with so many bells and whistles that I never use, I can’t get compiled documents to come out in the most basic format that I want. And with it being constantly updated, there is never any support or anyone that seems able to give a clear answer to what should be simple questions. Using the navigation pane in Word allows for basically the same functions in Scrivener that I was actually using. It also helps me better justify paying the subscription price for Microsoft so thank you again for sharing.

Software?

I write for a few online pages and I want to get a novel done one day. King's book is one of the best inspirations for anyone in the game who thinks they can't make it. Keep writing...and thank you for this page!
