  • good video

  • Best writing advice came from my sixth grade teacher. Write how you speak is the key. You mention reading out loud, and that is vital. Thumbs this comment up if you agree.

  • I ws distracted the whole time by the screen saver in the background!

  • My handwriting will always be shit as balls.

  • Comment removed

  • @Kelpiehorsegirl95 when you are satisfied young 15 year old...

  • @x69Crunchyx what exactly does that mean?

  • What I love most about this is not the video itself, but the users commenting below with misspellings and grammatical errors in their criticisms. LOL

  • Your Texan accent is really funny, although that probably is not the point of the video.

  • I did exactly what you said in this video with my secound book. People have sort attention spans so you have to keep it brief. The ending I always had touble with, I'll have to try that.

  • Im publishing m poetry book called "Everything Poetic" soon. I was just sent the attatchments today for it to be reviewed. Then with my consent, they (my publishing team) can begin to illustrate the covers and the inside pages along with my poems. I write about anything really when I write poetry. You can add me if you like and I can send you more information in a more private messege. Also I can send you (everything is copyrighted) a small piece of my novel and let you see what it is about also

  • Lol guess you summed that up for me hahahaha :p Although I am a writer/author so I already knew this and was just curious. Im writing a full length novel and I also write poetry (The book comes out around christmas time). I love writing and its always been a passion of mine :) But you did give some good advice to the beginners :)

  • Since I don't like to write entire stories, I just go to STORYJOIN since it allows you to write stories with other members.

  • I love his accent.

  • Excellent advice, thank you.

    I educate a sales team on writing for the web. And I focus a lot on brevity.

  • actions speak louder than words

  • nice vid

  • Thanks for your comment. I know the advice is brief, and I admit I'm not the best speaker in the world! But these statements comes from a little book I wrote on short writing, and I go into much detail there. I will do my best to speak better in the future.

  • WeLoveSpyaxe,

    You're confusing your "you're" and "your."

    The adverb form of 'utmost' is 'utterly.'

    "You're advice is utmost useless and your reading it." [sic] should read,

    "Your advice is utterly useless and you're reading it."

    Three prime pedagogic themes to live by - WAKE UP, SHOW UP and PAY ATTENTION.

  • @FelchBelcher Geeeez. Your user name is really gross. Well done.

  • You're welcome, but, in retrospect, your video's statement does somewhat apply to the over all nature of a full length novel.

    Focus on a single thing: Have all your plot points or large bodies of description develop your character, your characters goal, the main idea of the story, the pacing of each scene, or the emotional strain of the scene.

    Try to keep the subject short: Pretend your reader has ADD; have frequent changes in pacing and action as the story moves along.

  • I don't think this method works when whiting a full length novel. I imagine that this cutting character development completely out of the picture.

  • Yes, you are correct! This method would NOT for writing a full-lengh novel. Thanks for looking at the video. I hope it will help you in other forms of writing.

  • @rixquinn1 So this is for functional writing and articles? Do you have other videos concerning writing novels? Thanks.

  • Messy room, but that's not the point.

    Nice video, it helps.

  • sounds easy but difficult.....

  • how immature

  • I'm not good at writing.

    If you are no good at writing then let me share my secret with you on how to overcome your frustration.

    Give up.

    : )

    It works. It really works. You're frustration will dry up overnight and you'll find an extraordinary untapped reserve of energy which can be poured into something far more rewarding.

    Like reading novels written by other people who know how to write.

    Try it.

  • lol too right

  • lol so true.

  • Everyone SUCKS when they start writing, lol. You just have to work at it.

  • thanks!

  • Great! I'm glad you liked the article. I'll be posting more on this subject soon! Rix

  • This was helpful, thanks.

  • ya ha ha order?

  • I liked this video because this guy goes right to the point and doesn't waste time with all these fancy graphics. This person gave concrete ideas just as the video stated. Thank you.

  • Thank you for your kind words! I do writing workshops for schools and colleges, and in future videos will try to answer the most common questions attendees ask. Again, thank you for your kind comment! Rix

  • I only gave it 4 stars but I too liked how it went to the point and didn't use graphics.
