Nice. Hey, my channel has many free lessons in writing, from plotting, to show and tell, to creating suspense. Just click my nick, and then browse my playlist. People say they’ve learned more from my videos than they ever did taking writing courses. That makes me feel good. Feel free to post a video response of one of your videos.
A person can only write about what they know and I personally only write from the perspective of myself. All the stories I write are about my own experiences, though some I’ve altered. I have yet to create a fictional character completely unlike me. How can I do this when I only see the world through my eyes? Maybe I’m not creative enough I guess.
Thanks Kieth for doing this video. It’s got some really good information for writers out there.  It’s true what you say about inspiration. My advice to people is if you want to write read!
The Stand by Stephan King is my favorite. Really inspiring.
I want to be a writer fairly young, but it’s incredibly hard! Thanks very much for this, I’ve already written a novel, but I plan to write another.
Hi there,I’m trying to get into film but screen writing is my biggest worry. I’m so clad there are writing courses like this online. It’s a great resource.
Excellent novel.
This was really interesting and I shall be taking a little notebook with me wherever I go from now on. I am an aspiring writer, so I shall be taking your advice very seriously
Even my partner got sucked into watching this video and he’s a graphic designer, not a writer!
Or, better yet, study some plays.
Try reading other English novels and see how the authors use language to narrate the story. =) It helps broaden your vocabulary and improve your grammar when writing. When I first started out, I had no idea how to use commas. (And English is my first language *rolls eyes*). So I read a book which I thoroughly enjoyed and noted how they used the commas.
