Nov. 26th: Writing Advice (And Notes on Surnameless Tiffany)

UPDATE: THERE IS NO LONGER A NEED TO SEARCH FOR TIFFANY!

In which John gives advice to young, aspiring writers. He also discusses Tiffany with no last name (who, if you were to somehow find her, John would repay you handsomely). No scavenger hunt clue today, Nerdfighters (too much paper towns!), but--not to sound like a broken record--you can feel free to devote your scavenger-hunting energies to Tiffany the surnameless horse lover.

"I really think that reading is just as important as writing when you're trying to be a writer because it's the only apprenticeship we have ---the only way of learning HOW to write a story." -John Green

FINALLY! SOMEBODY WHO UNDERSTANDS!

It makes me kind of sad that all of John's childhood stories are about no one liking him.

@callan351 Is it mentioned in a video? Which one?

I now want to write a book that begins with hating foxes and ends with no one liking me. Next NaNoWriMo?

I would just like to let you know how right you are about reading and writing. I started writing a story in 5th grade and in that year I read like, 30 books. I revisited the story in 6th grade, 45 books later, and my writing had improved and I thank the books. (Yes, most of the books were 200 pages or so and, you know, at a 6th grade level other than the Harry Potter series but they improved the writing a lot. :P)

I want to learn to write like you. What I mean is, I usually write fantasy novels, but I would like to write a realistic fiction novels for young adults. I have read alot of them, but I just cannot write them. Any advice on how to change grears, so to speak? In advance,

DFTBA! P.S. If you could just comment on my channel with the advice, that would be great.

Not that you need to give me advice, just if you are, that is where you should put it. Or else make a video so that other writers can see.

That fox story NEEDS to be published.
