Professional Writers REACT to Writers in Movies

[@AbbieEmmons]

Which scene could you relate to the most as a writer? 👇

[@garimakaushik4508]

Probably the ink drop one. I relate to it too well, and it hit hard because I was staring at a blank page, spinning a pen in my hand mere minutes before clicking on this video.

[@AlyssaDyck-uj9dr]

I think I relate most to Little Women, Miss Potter, and Tolkien. When I’m on a roll while writing and someone wants me to go do something or is just hanging around for attention, I’m just like, sorry but you’re only getting half of me because my other half is still in my story. As for Miss Potter, my characters feel so incredibly real to me. They’re like my children. And then about Tolkien, whenever someone asks me what my story is about, but mind just panics.

[@PrincessKJBunni51819]

Dickinson most definitely 2nd is Miss Potter, 3rd Tolkien and last little Women. I would probably turn into Smeagol if someone touched my book 🤣

[@Pharaoh_Tutankhamen]

Basically, all of these, I've had the pacing while "talking" to a character, the struggle of losing a large portion of writing, questioning the quality of the writing, and not wanting to share aspects of my story cuz it sounds weird to say outloud

[@ninecatsmagee8384]

Dickens explaining his concept to the agent and publisher -- wanting them to jump in with him and "get it." I live and write alone for days. Then I'm out there telling my family and friends about the world I inhabit, trying to convince them that it's real. The looks on their faces - oh lord. Some day though it will be real to many and that's what keeps me going.

[@kassandra0]

The people interrupting you just when you’ve started to finally get an idea/figure something out and gotten things going is the most relatable thing ever

[@BrittWarren201]

Honestly, quickest way to piss me off 😭😭

[@user-ps6uu7sw3m]

Imagine what you could wright if nobody ever interrupted you I’D BE FUCKING FAMOUS

[@forevercatholic243]

I'm a writer and can totally relate to the "mirror scene". I can't tell you how many times I've stood in front of a mirror, acting out every sequence, even violent or emotional scenes. And then I walk out crying and friends are like "You okay?" "Yep, just writing!" I also loved the scenes that displayed the interruptions and hardships of writing. The internal voice hits deep, too. We are our worst critics.

[@thattrickydude]

When Abbie was talking about the dialogue just happening in her head, I could 100% relate. I feel like I am just watching scenes play out in my head and writing them down like a stenographer. It's hard for me to even take much credit for my characters because it feels like I'm just watching them, not creating them. Every time I sit down to write I am just excited to see what they do next.

[@tiarailic4086]

Miss Potter was such an influential movie to me as a child. As a homeschooler, very shy, and not many friends, I remember creating my own drawings of bunnies that had names and personalities. I think I always believed they could pop out of the pages and now as an adult writer, I still do. ❤😊

[@DeborahPettit]

I love Miss Potter! One of my favorite movies, too!

[@sarahwithanhyouheathen3210]

Beatrix Potter was one of my absolute faves as a kid. The Tale of Tom Kitten still haunts me lol. I grew up on a farm with lots of cats and it was so real to me. I dressed the cats in my doll clothes like in her books lol 😅

[@bellethilrancthalion1109]

I find those Little Women scenes you watched so relatable. I came home after being at college for a year, only to find my parents had completely wiped my old highschool laptop. I lost everything I’d ever written that I considered to be good. All those drafts and huge scene chunks and the PERFECT dialogues I’d written and that I was so attached to were only saved to the computer drive. Three whole years of writing gone. I was devastated and it felt like part of my soul had been vacuumed out. It took me years to get up the motivation to write again and try rebuilding what I had lost.

[@EE-od6qm]

There are programs you can use to dredge up your old material. You should check with some friends or experts that might be able to get back your dialogues even though your computer has been wiped.

[@AMoniqueOcampo]

I feel like "The Man Who Invented Christmas" is very relatable in terms of things a writer deals with. It shows what it's like to be inspired, gathering ideas from real life, and still dealing with at-home issues cuz writers are seldom isolated.

[@CPBialois]

I feel the one where the idea passes through you. They stick with me unless I play the scene out in my head. If I don't think about it or think it through it stays. But as soon as I do or I write it it's gone. I know this and still think through things, telling myself I'll remember them later. LOL

[@LindaRockower]

I knew I wanted to be a writer when I saw one portrayed in a movie as a child. It was Lillian Hellman, played by Jane Fonda in the film "Julia." There's a scene where she's writing on an old fashioned typewriter near an open window in a cottage on the beach. She becomes so frustrated with her writing she stood up and tossed her typewriter out the window.

[@VampireNinjaBunnies]

Honestly I do have whole ass conversations with my characters. My neighbors must think I'm nutz cuz I'll just pace around doing this. It truly helps the dialogue sound more natural if I can hear it out loud

[@ninecatsmagee8384]

How wonderful you covered this aspect of writing and even used a couple of my favourite films as examples. I nearly cried the first time I saw The Man Who Invented Christmas. I'd always written nonfiction and was into drafting a first fictional novel -- shocked by the characters appearing and handing me the dialogue, showing me the scenery, relating the story. I was in a conversation with some of them and half-thought I was losing it. TMWIC made me laugh and what you've said makes me sure. Yes, I can write fiction. The characters will talk to me and give me the story to pass along to everyone else. It's perfectly rational and I don't need a shrink.

[@eruvandib.676]

The Man Who Invented Christmas hits me hard because it's so accurate to how I get ideas from everywhere and everything and how my stories follow me through my days, even when I'm not immediately working on them. The first time we watched it, my Mom asked, "Is that what it's like having characters in your head?" And I'm sitting there like.... Do I admit how insane I really am as a writer? XD (Jk, she already knows I'm nuts and loves me anyway. :P) The Tolkien movie hits me hard in a different way because not only does it show how a writers' stories can grow and be inspired by experiences throughout our lives, it hits on the true importance of words and art and how those seemingly small things can truly change the world when we give them our all. It just makes me cry because it reminds me WHY I write. It's not just to tell a story, it's to tell stories that matter, that mean something, that inspire, challenge and shape people. When I feel discouraged, I think of that and remember that I have to pick up the pen that I believe God gave me the desire and ability to use and I MUST keep going, I MUST use it to combat the darkness of this world. Because words matter! *steps down off the soapbox*

[@DavidLewis-v4m]

I've heard some great advice mainly devoted to screenwriting, but I think it applies to all writing. That is to never settle on a line of dialogue without saying it out loud. Acting out in voices of my characters is the most important part of my process apart from goofing off doing everything I can think of to procrastinate more.

[@DeborahPettit]

The part of The Catcher in the Rye and what you two said about the internal dialogue of self-doubt brought on some tears. I am working through some of that myself, so thank you for your encouraging words. I enjoy your show a lot. Thanks.

[@keithberube2685]

So glad you made this video--thank you! This is what happens to me on a daily basis. I am a teacher, teaching from home right now, finishing a PhD, and I write books. My wife and I have five kids, and I converted a spot in our house into a library a few years back...with a door, I should add (not a cellar door though). You can imagine what it is like. One gets into a groove, and then it is shot away, and getting back into the groove can be like climbing a wall of ice covered in oil. At the same time, so many special moments of wife and kids popping in. Oh, which scene, or scenes, can I relate to most as a writer? Dickens. All the Dickens scenes. I love that movie, and would whether I related to it or not, but it's extra good with all the scenes of interruption, which provide that wonderful "It's not just me, I'm not alone!" moment. All the scenes are great though, I can relate to all of them. The second most relatable is looking like one is lazing about, when really it IS work!

[@joshuawilliams7734]

I found this video to be very therapeutic to me. I have been writing for many years now I will be 30 this November and I have just started sharing my writing on my channel and I really think what most of these scenes illustrated was that we all have a different approach to our creativity. For example I like to listen to music when I write, whether its a pop song from when I was growing up, a song my mum and dad would listen to alot or a classical piece I always find it help to ground me to my computer and start writing. I also found the scene in Tolkien where him and his date were talking about words and there meaning and his date leading on with the words Tell me a story and he couldn't do it, brilliant because I have done that, I can't make stuff up on the spot I have a - and I know I'm going to get a few eye-rollers for this comment - I need to be in the zone when I write meaning I need to feel relaxed and comfortable to tell a story, I can't just create something when someone wants. Great video and all the best 👍😊

[@eruvandib.676]

If I could add one movie that has inspired me and captured some aspect of writing, it would be Harriet the Spy (1996). It came out when I was four and was actually the first thing that ever inspired me to be a writer. I love how Golly encourages her to seek inspiration everywhere, to pay attention to her surroundings, and find the stories in everyday life. It also does a great job showing the power of words and how we need to use them wisely, to tell the truth but to also balance the truth with love and kindness. I didn't start writing until my 20s but I felt like that movie had me spending my childhood absorbing stories so that by the time I was ready to write, it just felt so natural and fulfilling. :)

[@vanessaglau1797]

As a writer, this was so fun & relatable to watch! Love the scenes in Little Women in particular. I wish you would chat about Colette sometime, absolutely adore that film & its portrayal of Colette as a female writer breaking taboos who isn't really respected in her time.

[@PrincessKJBunni51819]

This is so relatable its mind blowing. 🤯 I get interrupted a ton especially when I am in the mind of the characters and when I respond its actually the characters responding not me. The mirror thing I dont really do, but imaging the character in the room with me is more accurate. Almost like they are sitting right beside me. I also freeze up when people ask me what my story is about. Its terrifying for me like Im on stage doing improv😮 Sometimes I try dressing like the character would to get inside their heads😂. Great video

[@WestheBestMoore-du8kp]

Life can be so rude, interrupting just when I'm on the verge of a breakthrough! (Even if said breakthrough takes days, weeks, or months to actually emerge!

[@BrittWarren201]

I also imagine the character is hanging out in the room with me. Like I'm observing them and their mannerisms!

[@BKPrice]

The off-the-cuff storytelling thing from Tolkien seems like a very useful exercise, not even so much to hone your improvisational skills but rather to hone your description skills. Without the benefit of your handy thesaurus, you have to expound a narrative in a way that captivates your audience, using the words that come to you unaided, without the luxury of editing. I think that's the real benefit of such a practice.

[@evastrgar]

The Man Who Invented Christmas is my favourite movie!🎉

[@atlantisduke5005]

Little sister: Why can't you play with me? You've been on the computer for 5 hours! Me: I'm working on my story! the computer: 500 demon names that you can name your baby!

I want complex mathematical equations and lines of C# code floating around me while I'm writing code. That would be cool. Distracting, but cool.

[@debcarroll8192]

The part where the Dickens' characters talk to him-- that happens all of the time. Sometimes they won't stop talking to each other when I'm trying to sleep (not something I would admit to non-writers!)

[@carmencolado1926]

[@sable-simp6837]

Even though I'm a fanfiction writer (so no making money with my writing yet but I'm still in university), I can relate to a lot of that! Especially the part about people being unable to comprehend and share my excitement and the experience of loving the characters I write about with all my heart. They're, like, my whole world. I tend to get inspiration for completely random scenes without any pretext at all and I often have multiple scenes of a story written before the general plot materializes itself. I don't EVER want to stop, stories are my purpose and I don't care who disagrees! (My goal is to become an editor as soon as possible - I've learned that betaing/editing can be at least as much fun as writing my own story.)

I’m a writer and yes I find this really relatable, especially the scene where your not writing. I do this all the time, I’ll be flowing on minute than the next I’m walking around trying to figure out what to write next

[@JustClaude13]

Names can be such a trial! On my current project I hunted down all the old fashioned names I could find for a mighty warrior who must confront the sorceress who controls a mountain valley. He was actually a quiet, bookish person and Percival felt like a thin and reedy sort of name. Bonus points because Percival means "Pierces the Valley". Appropriate for the setting. The companion he meets is Reginald Pierpont, another intravert born to be an administrator, which is exactly the type of warrior he needs to win the battle. There's surprisingly little combat needed to defeat a sorceress.

[@joshuam2212]

I definitely understand the characters you writ being your friends my life would be so lonely without them i'm a stay at home caregiver to my mom and older brother we have 3 acres of land and i don't often leave it but as for being interrupted i have learned to deal with it i use voice recorder on my phone when i'm working alone around the house or yard so i don't lose my thoughts and the term for thinking about your stories is soft writing some days that's all i have time for and other days i have most of the day to write

I always say that I'm thinking out loud. 😊😂😂😂

16:47 not to nitpick, but Tolkien fought in World War One, Salinger fought in World War Two … about twenty years difference. Also, fun fact, Salinger dated Oona O’Neil, daughter of playwright Eugene O’Neil. When Salinger went off to war in Europe she left him and started dating and later married Charlie Chaplin.

Also the Little Women scene, if anyone ever destroyed my writing to spite me they would see a side of me they would not wanna see 😭

[@rchom]

I’m reminded me of my time in animation school, when the teachers encouraged us to act in front of the mirrors. Naturally, very few people did that. Of four years, I probably observed it five times. Then there’s the sister burning the writing reminded me of when I used to draw on printer paper, and a parent’s kid at BSA (too young to join at the time) folded it into his pocket. When he ran up to me with it, I just threw it in the trash, I was so angry. With regards to negativity, I strongly believe that people should know about its hardship and the possibility and likelihood of disappointment. Of so many years in the creative field, I’ve seen so many people burn out or become disenchanted. With animation, it can be doubly so: drawing the same thing over and over and over again. There’s so many people who I’ve went to school with who’ve drop out of the industry, or the creative market in general. That said: I’ve watched people work hard to succeed, having a hard upbringing, or barely being able to pay for school, or difficulty getting hired. At the end of the day, I don’t want to see people become heartbroken over something that they *think* they want. It’s possible to make it through to the other side: I’ve seen it, but it’s not easy. As Roosevelt said: “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, and difficulty.”

Gotta love interruptions when deep in the writing mood. I soo can relate to these authors lol. My one issue I have I'll start a story, be deep into it, writing for ages or days. Then out of the blue my dang nabbit muses say hey here is a new story idea. Then I get pounded from the muses to do this new story lol. I am yelling at the muses to let me finish a story already! LOL!!! Worse is when I get a story scene idea while I'm in bed, or driving or something else when I can't stop to write lol. I'm like gee thanks muses! My parents have tried for years to squash my dream of being a writer. Even as far as threatening to take my writing away from me. I'm now 50 and now I write nonstop. One day I'll be published. Life long dreams. Thank you Abbie and Kate for this video. This video shows so many truths for a writer.

[@forevercatholic243]

I can relate to the new story ideas! I have four current draft openings for four unique stories and another one in the works! :) And also, it seems like you've already figured this, but it never hurts to have a reminder. You are amazing in what you do as an author. Whether anybody else thinks your writing is a real career or not, it is. Stay true to the love and passion that first made you write and remember that your future readers are out there, just waiting for the day to buy your book. Stay strong and persevere! Writing is a journey not a vacation! Good luck on publishing!

@@larssjostrom6565 From what I know, he did based the character "Beren" on himself 😅 considering the fact that he had the 2 names (Luthien and Beren) inscribed on his and his wife's tombstone, just under their names. The love story of Beren and Luthien (a mortal man and an elven princess) was inspired on his real life love story with his wife, Edith. With the 'Aragorn being based on Tolkien himself' tho, I am not sure. He said that out of all the characters in LOTR, the one who he sees himself the most is Faramir. Aragorn and Arwen's union was supposed to mirror the romance of Beren and Luthien tho that's why I said Arwen maybe based/inspired from his wife. 😅😅

[@andre-hugopretorius9815]

Hi, --I hope I am allowed to have a little of your time . I hope you are all well. I believe I may have mentioned that I was working on a book when I felt it needed a little more depth and that's why I wrote a pre-book. Now, that prequel has developed into three distinct books, all of which come together to form the basis of the beginning of the last book. This is the question I have. I have three or four primary characters in my "main" story that I am creating. Loretta, Brad, and Howie. I originally intended to combine their stories into a single book, but due to the extensive plot, I chose to tell the stories of each character in a separate book. As previously stated, my final story will begin where the three other "character books" conclude. What is your opinion on the inclusion of epilogues and interludes that hint to something the reader isn't yet aware of? How do I handle this successfully to entice the reader to want to know more than what I am revealing at that stage?

Hello, this may be a random question but I really really need an answer; whether it's from Abbie or just a viewer. What do you do or is it okay if your MC has a lot of internal conflicts? Like, they have many desires and fears that clash together, but some of them aren't really SUPER part of the main theme(e.g; The theme is love, and one of the internal conflict IS about love, but the other is also about freedom of themselves from others). 😅 I'm so sorry if this is confusing

I suggest you not to write down what happens in the first fifth of the book like most book have it. Instead, ask questions like "what would you do if x happens, and then y, just to be followed by a z? well, it is exactly what happened to "book's hero name". Now he has to decide between revenge and stopping the same things from happening to other people. But he has to hurry because in the next two days they are going to do something similar to a woman named "hero's future love interest". In this story of love and betrayal nothing is how it seems at the first glance. will our characters realise that on time?"

I'm currently trying to work on a story, a fanfiction, working on chapter seven, and I have writer's block😅 yeah so I don't know anymore, I'm looking back on the previous chapters and I'm starting to wonder if should even continue the story because I was want to give up but I'm already seven chapters in and I don't know what to do. Any tips?
