@@metube0309 I left one group because (a) they were just inflating the egos of certain members and (b) one of them called my work "sexist, patriarchal, Western fantasy" as if those were objective traits and not insults.
Conscious practice has made all the difference for me and SG is SO good to level up, thanks Tim! I would absolutely get coaching for feedback however I pay in AUD and it’s just not affordable at this point 😞
Unfortunately it sounds like most of us are stuck between useless feedback and inability to pay considerably for something before it can produce return.
I do have to say honestly that I just don't think the guitar analogy holds. After teaching piano for ten years, people do not notice when they play wrong notes, and even the most talented students will still happily play some real clunkers until you point out that the composer did not write what they are playing. Regarding deliberate practice, how is this different from revision? Do you expect writers to judge the writing as it's being composed (similar to Dean Wesley Smith's advice)? I'm not really understanding how deliberate practice and revision are different.
Do you also offer training to become a mentors for german langueage writers...? Or to ask it otherwise: I write in german and have a wiritng group in german and would be interessted to become a mentor. AND also to get mentor feedback from a storygrid trained mentor in german language.
It's easy to talk about deliberative practice. But no one talks how to create a plan for one. Not everyone has 4k, 5k, 6k in their pocket to enter such interesting mentoring program like yours. Self-discipline and a clear plan are crucial for lone wolfs, sorry, writers that improve on their own (and I'm talking about sitting and getting the work done - I know feedback is important, but that is after). Yet, just the idea of creating such a plan is overwhelming. For such writers who use your really incredible resources (your youtube channel is one those to get back to over and over for me), how could they structure such deliberative practice? It's like you said somewhere: you can write everyday and not really improving. So, how to level up the writing practice?
Does StoryGrid already have its own accepted list of the micro-skills involved in writing, and if so will you make a video on them? If not, do you encourage us to make our own list as a part of the learning process?
Quite often in a writing group you'll get the same level of feedback you'd get giving a manuscript to your mom.
And your theme can be attacked by fellow group members. This happened to me in 2 groups, so I don't 'do' groups anymore.

Sounds like a good book to me@@JoelAdamson
I like this. Thanks.
Cool to see the subs on this channel go up ~1k since you started these videos.
Came here from Scrivener (Literature and Latte). And I'm glad I did!
Thanks for the video! Love the analogy with the guitar, and yes it's very hard to get feedback--most of my friends won't even read my book!
"So... how do you get quality feedback if you can't afford it?"
"That's the neat part! You don't!"
Thank you, this is what I have been searching for.
3:39 It requires focused attention . . .

We do! It will be published on the website and as a video in the next month or so.
@@StoryGrid has this been published? I can't seem to find it. Thank you so much for all the fabulous resources you guys share! ❤
Where can I get that shirt?
