I watch your videos whenI feel like I need some inspiration or a boost with my daily writing. All of the ones I have watched have been excellent. Keep up the good work. Thank You!

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Thank you so much, that’s great to hear ☺️

[@koltonheath6073]

Been there done that. Tip two

[@JoeyPaulOnline]

I do like the one about the literal doors closing, like yes you can trust that the door usually gets closed!

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Yeah, I feel like I could have done with being told that when I first started because I genuinely wasn’t sure how much of that stuff you needed. You just develop a feel for it don’t you ☺️

[@akshaylakhani7898]

Awesome tips, Kieren. Love your videos :)

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@koltonheath6073]

Me too.

[@hayleywestwood3432]

I like the point about not throwing things away. That's similar to Neil Gaiman's advice about adding things to the compost heap 😉 it all adds to the final pieces that do work

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Absolutely ☺️ it all ends up somewhere, and often what that ends up being is better than what you originally wanted. P.S you’re my favourite

[@koltonheath6073]

Thank you Kieren in tip number nine you saved me from making my stories boring

[@koltonheath6073]

Thank you amen tip one

[@tracypattin3746]

Once again you have given me so many golden nuggets, Kieren. I always feel like I'm in the room with you.

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

They probably come from Anne Rice rather than me! 🙂

[@ADSmallAuthor]

I'm sticking with publishing on Amazon or self publishing.

[@BrittanyPutzer]

Great video! I agree passion is what fuels the journey ❤

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

I agree ☺️ It’s definitely a great thing to carry with you while you’re writing!

[@chrisroberts8974]

Some good stuff in this one Kieren. Good job 👍

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Thanks mate, they all have different pearls of wisdom don’t they ☺️

[@francescaknapp]

I think you offer really unique writing advice! Thankyou!

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Thank you! That’s definitely my goal ☺️

[@bossalina4941]

I’m so glad I found this video. All of the highlighted tips are very helpful, but the last three really resonated with me the most. As I am currently working on how to incorporate subtle elements and hints into my novel. Thank you for this awesome video!

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Thanks so much for watching! It's always great to hear that these tips have resonatd with other writers :)

[@DrProgNerd]

I like the part about 'not having to close the door'. I just went through this with a story I'm writing. The character woke up hungover and threw up in the bathroom. There was a part of me that was bothered by this dirty bathroom. I needed to clean it up - so, I had her do it. After I read what I wrote, I thought "What is this? This does nothing to add to the story - and doesn't tell us anything about the character. I'm just making her soothe my OCD." Lol !! Nice to hear this advice from a pro. Now I don't have to spend time fixing it. I can just get rid of it. Thanks for your content. Love the channel.

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Thanks for watching! That's a big thing for me too, I always feel the urge to overexplain and there's never much value in doing so when I read it back.

[@lexcoupe82]

Hey new to your channel. Great videos, great production value, good lighting and good audio quality, keep up the good work, you deserve a bigger following. Don't worry it will come, keep working hard. KZbin can be grindy. Sorry for rambling.... I use to many -ing words.

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Hi! Thanks very much, I really appreciate that. Who knows what the future holds, all I can do is keep making videos, I figure if I interest myself, maybe others will be interested too.

[@gemmakitchener8053]

Great video!

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@andysim9995]

Love your video. Some of the rules make me smile (reflecting on myself). I write to amuse myself, but get so many criticism, rules etc that is making my story lose my voice.

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

I knjow what you mean. Don't take any rules too seriously I'd say. If you're amusing yourself with your writing, you're going the right way!

[@3RDEYELOVE]

its like don't tell the reader all the good parts have them witness and experiences it themselves

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Exactly!
