As a music producer it's interesting to me how much these same concepts apply to creating music.

I am loving these advice videos, and the way you give your own thoughts on them. It's something that you hear all the time, but leaving in the middle of something is so good for knowing where to go next!

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

It really is, it's so much easier to get going that way. I struggle with blank pages and more often than not I'll choose not to write anything and come back when I'm more inspired. Having a part to continue writing really alleviates that I find!

[@Martiniization]

Writing is essential communication. Part of the reward that writing produces is the feeling that you are in contact and on a wavelength with humanity and have communicated effectively.

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Definitely!

1 of my favourite pieces of advice i've heard is "You shouldn't only write what you know". This advice has honestly helped me a lot in terms of planning my story series out as i've gone out of my way to learn things I didn't know like how to structure a novel, Motivation-Reaction-Units, Character Arcs, Themes and more recently (The past year) I've being learning about mythology in different cultures, specifically Norse Mythology, as well as learning how to create a language. In my world I want to have the Mythology be real; the world WAS created by gods as I feel like it would make the series more fictional and have it feel like a fantasy world. As for creating a new language, in my world there were dragons before humans however, at one point in time the dragons and humans did meet. I didn't want my dragons to just speak english as it felt wrong to do so. You shouldn't just go for the easiest option just for you to rush into your work. You should take the time in your work to make it feel logical and realistic but also magical and exciting. Giving the dragons their own language would make the world feel more alive and it would create some great ideas on how the Dragons and Humans interacted with each other. My point is that if you only focus on writing things you know, it can get kinda boring as well as being very limiting with your creativity but, if you let yourself learn new things like story structure, mythology or even making a new language, then whatever you're working on will become a lot better than what you would've made if you just simply took the easiest routes.

I wish I could write like him!

You are a good teacher. Thank you for this series. I hope more people discover your channel. It's really good.

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Thank you! I hope so too :D

[@stevensandersauthor]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@chriswilliams6326]

Just keep writing and don't worry. I wish it were that simple... Thanks for the advice, Kieran.

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Me too. Hoping to master the skill of shutting off the critical brain and just writing. I feel like that could be beneficial if I can manage it.

[@GrimStunts]

Thanks man this was quite motivating and got me out of the desert 👍🏻

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Glad to hear it my friend :)

[@clintoreilly]

Well said. Thanks for sharing.

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Thanks for watching!

[@ikru84]

This is so good 🙌

[@BrittanyPutzer]

Great advice! But if I'm writing I have to ride that momentum, even if that means I won't know what to write tomorrow because I'll forget 🤣🤷‍♀️. But I'll write notes to where I want the story to go or make scene ideas to help.

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

I get that for sure, sometimes you've got to capture stuff on the page before it dissolves into thin air 🙂

[@bettydoughtery3920]

Thank you

[@kaseyfisher-sh6wf]

Great video! Do you have an all time favorite piece of writing advice?

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Thank you! The piece of advice I find most useful is a quote from Gene Wolfe: "You never learn how to write a novel. You just learn how to write the novel that you're writing.'"

[@kaseyfisher-sh6wf]

@@KierenWestwoodWriting genius!

[@Yokar_mova1212]

Ah actually some good advice.

[@houser2094]

Supposed i wanted to publish a novel on Amazon ,what do I do for a book cover? Edit: does Amazon provide us with the tools to make book covers or is it up to us?

[@CharlieeWriter]

This is so interesting. I loved hearing this advice. I have often tried to write so flowery that my CPs have totally missed the point.

[@BeardLAD]

Writing advice: sober up, wake up, work from six til noon… …finish book, drink yourself drunk. If you can’t do this, there will be reasons: identify & solve these problems.

[@laurabesley7095]

You're novel writing again?!

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

I am! I’m 90k through since starting in April so it’s been fairly quick. Closing in on the ending now so taking it slow.

[@laurabesley7095]

@@KierenWestwoodWriting Wow! That's great!

[@KierenWestwoodWriting]

Hopefully the end result will be okay! 😬 How’s your writing going? I saw a video on here the other day of a writer who has bought and enjoyed 100nehundred 😁
