    Hailey, a little tip if you're looking for writing lessons. Brandon Sanderson, the author of Mistborn, he's taught some classes on writing sci-fi and fantasy at a university (but he says it works for other genres just as much), and it was all filmed for youtube. You can literally type 'Brandon Sanderson lecture' and I'm sure you'll find it. There are hours of content where he talks about character creation, worldbuilding, plot, editing process, and even business stuff like getting agents, market, and etc. His lectures are REALLY good, and it's cool because it's an actual best-seller author (who I only hear people say great things about) who's teaching them, so he knows the business quite well.

      He does a podcast too that's got loads of helpful advice and prompts. It's called 'Writing Excuses'.

    • @camilesouzaa
      @camilesouzaa 7 років тому

      sorenkrane Yeah, he totally does. I had completely forgotten about it since I don’t usually listen to podcasts. But I'm sure it's worth to check it out, Brandon has really good writing advice.

      Alice English i think in one video she said she didn't want to do that because some people would just look in the description and skip out on the whole video. She doesn't want people to do that because she puts a lot of work in her videos and wants people to watch them. I'm not absolutely positive but I think she said this.

    On Writing by Stephen King! you don't have to be a horror/thriller writer to get a lot out of the book- it is half his memoir and half how he found his writing style and process. It is very informative and gives great insight into how it is being a writer 24/7. Love the vids! xx

    If you like breezy contemporaries with a summer theme, I just read Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett and finished it in one day. It was really cute, but had some substance. I really enjoyed the characters and the setting. Also, one of my favorite books about writing is On Writing but Stephen King. Lots of great advice there, but it doesn't read like a textbook. Love it!

  • @mollylawrence1178

    I had Eliza and Her Monsters on my radar for several months before I finally got to read it. I really loved it and I recommend it for everyone. I also loved Of Fire and Stars but I've read so many negative reviews on it. I think of it as high fantasy for people who don't really like high fantasy (me) 😊

    Just a little tip for writing or anything doing with personal creativity; DO NOT compare yourself to other people's. Of course you're not gonna start off being as good as your favorite best selling authors. But you can get there. Don't compare yourself to other people's work, compare yourself to your past work💜

  • @Raven-rv9ge

    i listened to two kasie west books this month and they where
    by your side and the distance between us and i loved them so much
    but one book i recommend is
    A letter to the lost by Brigid kemmerer i highly recommend this book i loved it i gave it 5 🌟
    i have always wanted to be a writer myself because i have so many ideas of what novels i want to write and i do write all my ideas down,
    but I also questions my writing skills and keep putting myself down
    so ur not alone when it comes to low confidence

    And one of the "okay" books is the fill in boyfriend. The only reason that is keeping me from hating it, is because of a side character.

      Daenerys Targaryen Yesssss! It's my second most favorite triology of all times. I REALLY loved it, the books are fast-paced and don't have long introductions. I'm the kind of reader that usually struggles to get past the first 100 pages of a book because they are usually intoductions and there's no action, that didn't happen with any of the books in this triology. When I finished reading all the books, I just wanted to keep reading about the characters😂. I know that some people have a problem with the slave/master relationship on this books but it isn't what it seems. I really recommend them and you should read them😊.

      Daenerys Targaryen Hahaha😂 Glad I did! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!😊
      P.S. Just so you know and don't go to the book expecting something else, the books do have explicit sexual content and the story itself isn't super intricate, it's actually quite simple but very enjoyable.

    You should do NaNoWriMo during November!! It's National Novel Writing Month where you try to write 50,000 words in 30 days. It's a great community, tons of people do that, and you can plan ahead of time (so now, after you've read your writing books) and then by the time November comes around you'll be ready to go! And even if you don't write 50,000 words, as long as you write something, it's good!!

    Hailey, it's so exciting that you're going to be writing books!!! It's exhilarating and scary and a lot of fun! There's a community of people (myself included) who make UA-cam videos about writing. We call it AuthorTube, and there's a facebook group for it.
    My July TBR includes THE DYING GAME by Asa Advic, SECOND CHANCE SUMMER by Morgan Matson, GIRL ABOUT TOWN by Adam Shankman and Laura Sullivan, and THE PURSUIT OF GOD by A.W. Tozer, and maybe something on SoonReads.
