    I'm so very sorry for your loss, Ari. I remember thinking that grieving over the loss of a pet shouldn't be so hard, but you're absolutely right that they were a part of your family. I cried and grieved for months after the loss of my childhood dogs, and it sometimes still hits me in the middle of the night. I'm glad you've been taking time for yourself! The location of this video is breathtaking!! Ollie is so lucky to have found your family <3

    I am so sorry for your loss, Ari. Losing a pet truly feels like losing a member of a family. Lost our childhood dog earlier this year as well and it was very painful. I still feel her presence with me everyday and sometimes I even have dreams of her being around me. Sending you all love and virtual hugs and take your time to heal! You are strong! 💐

    Oh Ari. Grieving is such a weird, complex time that affects everyone differently. I agree whole heartedly. I refer to Duchess and Honey as my two children. They are my babies, and will always be treated as such! I am so happy to see you back on my UA-cam homepage. Yes, we missed you, but we are also glad that you took the time you needed to heal and feel all the feels. Looking forward to seeing where you go from here! ❤

    When you do 0 drafts do you do mostly dialogue and action tags(barely description or introspection)? I feel like that's my strategy.

    • @AriBPK
      @AriBPK 2 дні тому

      yes! sometimes I will insert a description if it comes to me vividly, but a lot of the time it's super bare bones

    Dear Ari, Why not buy and apply, "Save the Cat! Writes a novel," by Jessica Brody. She has a built a blurb template using the beats, which strengthens the stakes, before the time clock runs out, and hints of death. The book is a road map for any genre, and is great for picking up anywhere for a bit of fun learning, with some practical index card movements, to make sure you hit the beats at the right time in your story, a great thing to fall back on when stuck, editing, or drafting...

    I learned today that I've been writing blurbs with your template without realizing it haha. This is gonna sound weird but I write blurbs as part of my brainstorming process. I think it just helps me narrow down the idea of what the book is about and I go from there. Also helps me set the mood and tone of the book <3 thank you for this wonderful video Ari! (and I also love the dark mode screen-- my eyes appreciate it so much)

    • @AriBPK

      that's amazing, jas! it's not weird at all, that's what I do too -- I think it's helpful to think about how you can talk about the story in a clear and concise way (+ also the mood and tone!) ✨ thank you so much for watching and commenting, jas - I really appreciate it! and hell yeah, dark mode girlies forever

    Hey Ari, I’m very new to writing and I’ve never heard of a “dialogue draft”. Can you explain? In some of your clips, it looked like you may have typed a name and text beneath, is this the dialogue? I am probably the most scared of writing dialogue and it not sounding like real people but very proper robots instead.

    • @AriBPK
      @AriBPK 2 місяці тому

      Hi Vaneice, thanks so much for watching and commenting! ❤ That's totally fair, I also didn't really take time explain it very much in the video! So a dialogue first draft prioritizes dialogue for each scene, so I'm essentially writing the draft like a screenplay. So my draft looked like this: Character A DIALOGUE Character B DIALOGUE I find it very helpful for distilling a character's motivation and how that might influence their dialogue in specific scenes and conversations. Dialogue is very tricky and it's so hard to make it feel natural and I think it takes several rounds of editing to make it work. I also find reading my dialogue out loud helpful! I can make a video that goes into dialogue more in depth, if you think that would be helpful?

    • @vaneicecoleman

  • @bookishsyd6077
    @bookishsyd6077 2 місяці тому

    First off, congrats on finishing your dialog draft, that’s so exciting! I had never heard of one before you, but it sounds super interesting. Writing on,y the dialog, who said it and how, and maybe a few sentences of scene description in between sounds like a fantastic way to not get bogged down in excessive detail and just get to the core of a story. I’m editing my mystery/thriller novel right now, using a truly impressive amount of color-coded index cards, post-its, and page flags, lol. I put them all on a tri fold poster board instead of on the wall or floor because seeing it 24/7 will make me want to work on it all the time, which isn’t great for me. This way, I fold it away and so I literally can’t work on it until I open it again. That, plus only doing it for like three or four thirty-minute sprints at a time before a longer break has really helped me not get burnt out. I’m actually excited to edit, which has never happened. Your dialog draft is totally a draft! Every draft of a story improves it, there’s no ‘oh, it’s just a [insert type of draft]’. I also have a hard time with blurbs. I am so long winded in general, plus I just get so excited about the story I end up including major spoilers when I try to write one. I have to learn to majorly pare back and be mysterious, lol. (I also love all your adorable mugs.) Congrats on finishing the draft again 🎉 and thanks for the video!

    • @AriBPK
      @AriBPK 2 місяці тому

      thank you so much! I love your comments and I love hearing about your project! I found the dialogue draft to be so helpful, I totally recommend it if you have the time or interest -- I can also make a video to get a bit more into the technicalities of how I did it, if that seems interesting? and oh my goodness, that sounds like such a project with all of the index cards and post its but it's so smart to put it on a trifold board! It sounds like what you're doing is really working, especially if you're excited to edit! ❤ I'm going to work on a blurb video next, so I hope it'll be helpful if you, like me, find blurbs to be torture 😂 you'll have to let me know! and I LOVE collecting mugs -- they are my absolute favorite ❤ thank you so much for watching and commenting!
