  • I always start books, but I never finish them. D:

  • @riceroudis Try reading by chapter, in any form. First, third, fifth, etc.

  • I have plenty ideas for my story. I know it inside out, but my problem is descriptive writing. I can't seem to describe people and places without rambling.

  • @lizrulz1 Practice is the key. Try describing small thing, person. Write exactly what you see, only vital details and don't ramble. You can do it.

  • This is really great advice, so inspiring! It's exactly the kind of motivation I needed for the rut I was in.

  • @remip89 I'm happy it helped.

  • I have been a writer and freelancer for over 15 years.

    I have written hundreds of articles for newspapers and magazines.

    To be frank, this video doesnt address the nuts and bolts of being a writer.

    This largely mind over matter pablum that-while edifiying to some mentally-doesnt provide a clear and concrete framework to be a real working writer let alone a successful one.

    If you dont address the real world aspects of writing, you will never be a writer.

  • lol she needs to watch a video on how to speak . im sure she is a great writter tho

  • i cant hear shit

  • Does a writer have to also look for bad clip art? Eww.
