WHAT THE HELL??? Thank god youtube recomended this video to me, I can't believe at this visualizations number... Girl... Thank you! What a great approach! You helped me realise that all the seamingly random things I have figured out for my story are actually a great starting point. I should stop forcing myself to figure out everything chronologically. The beginning and ending can both stem from the middle! Also, I loved what you had to say about character development, really helped me structure some ideas that were kinda aimlessly floating around my noggin. Thanks!

Thank you, I'm coming back to this video to try this method on my current projects! I really love how you describe things and how you incorperate the Misbelief (I call this the Lie) and character arc stuff. The Mirror Moment is new to me and I'm excited to use it! I've never really tried outlining from the middle or any other point than the beginning, and its inspiring me a lot.

@@StarlitSeafoam I’m so glad this video found you, then! I truly hope this method will work for you as well as it does for me, but just in case it doesn’t, if there is anything you should try to remember from it, is the mirror moment. I believe all books can benefit from it!

Shout out to James Scott Bell! Such a good writing coach.

[@ohmyjordy.official]

@@JonBaldie I have only read his book, but just from the book alone I also have to agree! I’ll have to dive deeper in his other teachings!

[@ckjensenauthor]

I loved this! I'll have to check out the book!

[@ohmyjordy.official]

Please, do! It was such an eye opener for me! ❤

Great video. Well presented. Very interesting combination of methods. Please make the music quieter and a longer loop. It couldn't have been longer than six or seven seconds.

[@ohmyjordy.official]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video. The music is about 3 minutes long, but I will make it more quiet in future videos 😊

Agreed, her voice is too delicate and soft, at least for violins. And the content isn't enriched by it.
