thanks very much for watching, don't forget to subscribe, and give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed!!
If you can write this incredible dialogue in a couple of minutes, your book will be a bestseller! Great job!
Agree, I was hooked 😂
My thoughts exactly!!!! His book will be a bestseller period💯
I second that!
2 minutes silence to pay respects to Jacks back for carrying youtube
top tier comment 😌
pay respect where it’s due fr
Truth in itself 😂✨
🙏
HAHAHAHA period.
As a fellow writing student, "that's something I wrote, I hope you don't hate it" is possibly the most relatable feeling! Also, I thought it was great 😄
4:33 It's true that I will take every opportunity to fangirl about Schitt's Creek, but that show is genuinely a MASTERCLASS is dialogue writing. Each character comes with their own personal dictionaries, vocabularies and speak in such a unique style all throughout the six seasons. I love the show as audience, but their special about how they made it was also soo interesting, as they talked about the process of writing the show, building each character from their backstory to their wardrobe and then writing each individual episode and arcs
yeah ive never watched a show that has such natural, realistic diaouge it feels so representive of real life
Quote of the Day: “You know how some people say their body is like a temple. Mine is like a dilapidated old garden shed.”
Ok time to live my life vicariously through Jack Edwards for 24:01
seeing jack work so hard for his dream life and also be so carefree about life at the same time is so motivating, assuring that everything is going to be okay and he is just so wholesome☺🥺
P.S Jack we are waiting for your book(No pressure tho but like the anticipation is killing me)👀
Seeing Jack being so happy with his Valentino jacket and gifts made me smile.
It's so lovely seeing your slice-of-life vlogs! I moved from England to Asia around the same time that you moved to America, so it's been nice to see your explorations and it inspires me to record my time living abroad too. Thanks for another fab video, Jack! Glad to see you're enjoying New York!!
What a great video! I’m way out of your demographic, but I’ve followed you since you were in Uni and seen you grow and change. I’m so envious of this new chapter in NYC. What energy and excitement!
The dialogue is brilliant. Your puns, a close second.
Thanks so much for showing so much of NYC. Lived there in my youth 1980's and it was a very special time. I attended both the New School and NYU for writing and worked in journalism for most of those years. I still make it back several times a year and it never gets old, though covid took some of its might away and I know NYC and it will recover. Loved the glimpse of your life.
please, drop more content about your writing classes! we’d love to see your progress ❤
wow wow wow the VIBES in this vid! Jack you are thriving and we LOVE to see it!!
Jack is SLAYING with the Halloween Costume 👏🏽
your lil writing bit with the dialogue caught me by such surprise, and it gave me chills
I can’t tell you how proud I feel to see you grow, travel a thriving in your elements. It’s both generous and inspiring that you share your success with us, so thank you.
that was the perfect treat during a Sunday morning, thank you Jack for sharing all these good vibes, I've never seen NY as a city I would enjoy (Italian from Milan, living in Paris) but this vlog changed the way I look at it now. Glad you're living it to the fullest!
the horror books coming in that cool box where every drawer is a book is so dope, had never seen that before. also yes jack flexing with the valentino sponsor and yes with fashion and literature collaboration!
Does anyone else ever feel like when you watch these types of videos, you’re watching your friend grow? Jack, I feel like your videos have become so much more than what drew me to your account in the beginning, book recs. Your videos have been my happy escape during darker times. I think it helps that we are close (ish) in age and learning some of the same valuable life lessons, but you are now the comfort of an old friend and I love to see you thriving. You have earned all of this and I hope your exciting ventures remain plentiful. Thank you 💙
jack that dialogue was really good like REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD !!!
Jack writing a novel is such an exciting thing. If you ever publish it I’ll order it as fast as I can.
Does anyone else also want Jack's job sm😭
everyone really
it's a dream
ooh, would it be bad to say i want him?
Same, it'd be my dream job but I don't think I'm creative enough, so even just being a beta reader or an editor would be immaculate
I’m a very sick mom at home and this video was the positivity break I needed ❤️ love seeing you continuing to be you
Jack is living the dream aha, it’s amazing that you get to do what you love for a living!!! :D
Also guys, the 📚Book Club📚 is reading Jane Eyre for November! It’s a community dedicated to just Jack’s viewers :) and there’s nearly 1,900 of us! (details in replies if you want to join!)
Hey!! I’d love to be a part of this bookclub, how can i join?
@@tanishaaa.m hi! Thanks for being interested! If you can see my reply above, that has all the details :) it’s on Reddit 📚 :D
Jane Eyre, or Jane Eyre Laid Bare? 😂😂
@@Hello-wj6cp is the subreddit just jack ? Or just jack Edwards? Or jack Edwards?
@@VictoriaCaswell bad memories 😂
hi jack! you're living my dream (i did tv writing and prose writing at undergraduate level but would love to take it to a masters level). tv writing is so much fun! dialogue is key, but once you've got that nailed it's honestly so lovely to write. sometimes when writing my short stories, i would use tv writing to plan out how i wanted the scene to go and then add prose in, in place of stage directions. i used to have workshops where "the writer was dead" like yours - where you can't explain your process to others critiquing. it was always so fun reading other people's scripts and giving feedback, but so nerve-wracking when your own work was critiqued. however, once you get to know the people on your course quite well, it's always a lovely experience and you can feel everyone growing and progressing throughout. always such a fun process, i miss it so much. let's hope we are both successful in the creative writing world
It's so nice and it feels so warm to see Jack so genuinely excited about the life he lives! No pretense here, and I'm living for it! 🥺
Is no one gonna mention the fact that this video is an ad for VALENTINO?????? Get that bag Jack omg!!!!
I loved your little dialogue! Now I can’t wait to read your novel 😍❤️❤️
I can't wait for 5yrs to pass by and to be able to witness the growth and success Jack will reach. I never get tired of hearing about his adventures!
as an english lit n creative writing grad i love this video
Now that we´ve got a little glimse into your writing, I`m even more hyped for your novel. Sir, you`ve got some serious talent!
loving all the don’t worry darling soundtrack music hehe
Idk why this vlog made me emotional. It is a so nice to see you enjoying this brand new life in NYC. This video made it feel like everything is possible if you put enough work and passion into it. Hope we get more of those, good luck with your book ❤
Jack declaring himself a New Yorker while calling his sweater a "jumper" 🤣
I never call it a jumper. Who calls it that these days?
This video is filled with optimism and positive energy I feel like UA-cam is really missing that.. this felt like watching vlogmas form Zoella totally In love Jack good job 🤍
I just have to say, your willingness and ability to travel the world chasing what you love is so admirable. I would LOVE to experience little bits of life in different places, but often I simply do not have the nerve to confidently go and DO it. I hope you are able to continue as long as you want to travel! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us!
Jacks dialog reminded me of a really lovely movie staring Sarah Paulson and Mark Duplass called Blue Jay. Its about 2 high school sweethearts who's paths cross again years later and both their lives are in totally different places. Would defo recommend a watch :D
love the new york vlogs and seeing what you get up to! would love to know your favourite bookshops to work from in the city
my comfort youtuber FOR REAL
Omg ciara gan I'm such a huge fan
Yes giovanni's room :))) im ignoring the outpour of emotions but definitely one of the best
Amazing thanks. You're one of my favorite BookTubers. I love you.
you’re taking the world by storm jack i’m so proud to see how far you’ve come !
i went to nyc this summer and i went into that exact bookstore in the financial district !! i feel so special rn 🫶
1. The music choices are incredible!
2. Valentino!? Major!
3. You looked hot as hell in that bunny costume. Also not something I thought I'd ever type
Living in NYC must be wonderful for inspiration to write a book. People watching in the city surely could help bring some ideas. It's good to see you having a wonderful time there and having met some good people to help navigate and see/do things you may not have otherwise.
Jack you’re living my dream and I’m so proud of you,so proud of how much you’ve grown and makes me happy to see you happy,bless you loads 💜
I'm a Novelist too and wrote 2 ya book when I was 15... its been nearly 3 years, and I've progressed! I'm working on 3 more novels that I hope to complete soon. Writers like you give me motivation to keep on going! Ps, love the dialogues. 🌸
absolutely dreamy, I was in awe with your dialogue, can't wait to read your book 💌
GIRL, VALENTINO???? CON👏GRATZ👏 BABY👏!!!!
The jacket makes sense now haha. I was tripped out at the beginning
Love how the music in this video is basically just the Don’t Worry Darling soundtrack 😆
Also, the dialogues, to quote you are "IMMACULATE" ❤🥺
Jack that was sooooo good, you made me feel like I knew their whole damm story in a minute and your writing is obviously immaculate.
Firstly, I love how you have shot and edited this. Dreamy 😍 I'm also blown away by your motivation. It's so nice to see people invest in their passions x
the don't worry darling songs are giving me so much joy!
Watching you and your channel blossom so beautifully has been a UA-cam highlight for me. Valentino baby! 🎊🙌💃
I’m so happy for Jack enjoying his life🎉
loved your dialogue piece!
I'm about to graduate from my creative writing course and i'm so glad you're doing it! it's been such an amazing experience and i've met some of the absolute best writers and people. our last assessment was pretty similar with the outline/full screenplay and let me just tell you it is so hard but SO SO rewarding! good luck!!!!
dont worry darling soundtrack in the background is chefs kiss it set the vibe of the video and nyc as the backdrop in an immaculate way !
following you since the uni days, its so amazing to see how far youve come and how far youll go. lots of love ❤️
I was sad when the goldfish story ended, I need more! Make it into a short story please 😇 :)
Just now bumped on your videos and subscribed to your channel and I ohsolove you!
I'm from India. Obsessive reader, Literature PostGrad.
You're so full of positive, lively vibes and your book reviews and discussions are not only sharp and precise but what's amazing is how clear-headed you are about your thoughts and what you speak(say about how men avoid Romance genre or why you think it necessary to shout out under-represented niches like Black romance Etc).
You're awesome!
And super cute too!
I so wish you were in India!
I'd sure have loved to go out with you.
All my warm love and good wishes to you boy!
Dressing gown sounds so dramatic to me😂😂 I love seeing you enjoy yourself here in New York! I was nervous that you’d regret it after your stories about your first time in the subway or being mugged but I’m glad you’re safe and thriving! Love your videos as always🖤
Loved the little goldfish dialogue!
We NEED more vlogs from Jack!!!
So excited for the novel ✨✨✨
Look at you manifesting your best life!
You go bro! Never apologize for sharing something you've written, be proud of it and own it. Damn, what a great dialogue that was!!
love love love your vlog so much aaa i had fun watching it over my morning coffee.
Really loved this video and how you embrace life, it’s inspiring. Appreciate your vulnerable moment sharing your work, which you shouldn’t be insecure about as it was great 🙌
Love McNally! Also, I took fiction writing with Gotham as well. I had a really great experience with them, I hope you are too. If you’re ever looking for additional writing feedback, the Brooklyn Public Library hosts creative writing workshops each week for free. It’s a free write session where people can choose to share or not. It was a great way to just try new things with other writers.
I minored in creative writing. Dialogue is absolutely the most difficult part of any writing for me too. Making it seem natural is a challenge, but what you shared with us was wonderful! I really enjoyed it.
omg Jack!! dressing as one of those bunnies!!That's so cool! i love Bunny sm!!!
I've been binge watching your videos for hours now since I discovered it. Totally in love with every single one I've watched! Thank you for making them❤❤❤
This music w/ NYC landscape - chef kiss
Aight let me simp. First of all you have me simping for a luxury fashion brand which hasn’t happened since I was a teenager and Olivier Rousteing took over Balmain. I want Valentino stuff now, especially that blue sweater. Next: all that reading has paid off, that scene you read us felt very genuine. Finally: makes me so happy to see you live the dream 😭 I started watching you during lockdowns and you kept me feeling human so so happy to see you living it up!! Keep it up!
The music in this video is the perfect touch
Jack, you're amazing, keep it up!
the music, the nyc of it all, the books, amazing incredible outstanding obsessed need more please and thank you

Ah I'm an intern at Gotham Writers! The community is so great (obviously I'm biased lol) and the teachers are really fun
This video already gets bonus points for the intro music - I love cars!

I love you sharing your writing. We are all so excited for your upcoming novel! I'd pre-order it years in advance if I could. Side note: your handwriting is so nice.
From school and library babysitting to NY, Valentino, writer. Life has been good to you, enjoy!
Absolutely incredible! Super proud of you, Jacky, look at all that you’ve achieved and all that is yet to come.
