Andrew, I love your channel!!

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Hey, I'm so happy to hear it--thank you!

[@muratcelik6228]

Hey Andrew great video. Do you think creating Coofl page helps for creative writing?

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Interesting question--I'm not familiar with that platform. In general, though, I'd say that the best things for improving creative writing are practice and good feedback. If a site helps you to get one or both of those, it will probably be helpful

thanks,

[@WritingwithAndrew]

You're welcome!

[@aurelmuresan9886]

Best wishes 😆😂🤣

[@aurelmuresan9886]

Best regards, A.M.

[@WritingwithAndrew]

Haha, at least "Best wishes" and "Best regards" are actual phrases. "Best" by itself eludes explanation...

[@aurelmuresan9886]

Any intention on filming anything about plagiarism? Or better yet, self-plagiarism…. Best, A.M.

[@WritingwithAndrew]

That sign-off looks an awful lot like fighting words...but, in all seriousness, that's not a bad idea! Plagiarism in all its forms is definitely worth talking about--putting it on the list!
