      @ 00:3 I heard her saying: "It WASN'T dark inside the wolf.
      The subtitles here say: "It WAS dark inside the wolf".
      I find what I had heard very interesting and what the subs say...not so.

    Best masterclass so far! It's not just about her very practical teaching, it also about the fact that I couldn't help smiling and laughing throughout the lessons. I haven't enjoyed listening to an instructor like I did listening to her in a very loooong time.

    This was the first series in MasterClass I streamed, and it's so worth it. In her masterclass, Margaret Atwood imparts substantial nuggets of wisdom about creative writing, and each lesson is therapeutic to listen to. The workbook is also a work of art, and I enjoyed reading it after every class.

      Ad placements before videos may be counted as views -- and that would explain why this has so few comments.

      Probably a bunch of feminist ideologues praising one of their patron saints. I want to find out how to block this video, then go back to making hundreds of dollars a month writing intense erotica featuring masculine dominance. Whether that dominance is dominating females or effeminate males, it doesn't matter. Masculine dominance is natural and beautiful.

    I always said there's a time to write, and there's time to not, my minute is Dad if you're going to ride you focus just like she said it's just you and it page. When you are not writing it's not you and the page. When you writing your story it's you in the page if you have an idea or get inspired write it down in notepad just like David said your nuke binder. Take it from a guy who doubts sometimes and struggles with his writing.

    @prakkari Рік тому +1

    Maybe “hold my attention” has been a bit misunderstood. It’s not a call for the reader to be alert and on the edge of his/hers seat all the time in my opinion. It’s more like “stay for the ride” or something. There are dreamy and mysterious scenes without much tension that make you hold on. There are things that make you reflect and ponder outside the story and come back with new insights. I think writing shouldn’t be so tied rules as structure. The more one studies and learns about the “right way to write” the more contrived and superficial the writing gets. Nobody has ruined screen writing like Sid Field or the “heroes journey” fad. It has generally turned stories into canned food that all tastes the same. At least it feels that way to me.
    Hold my attention, absolutely, but there are a million ways to do that. Quiet or loud.

    This brain hack works to efortlessly eliminate writer's procrastination for both fiction or non-fiction: Simply erase part of the last sentence you've written for that day. Your mind is hardwired to be working on it, so that you "can't wait" for the earliest time to get back to writing some more. Do this every time. If your last sentence is so golden you don't want to erase it, write another line and erase part of it.
    If you're stuck and haven't written in a while, go back to where you left off and erase part of the last sentence you wrote.
    Your last sentence might change almost every time. Who cares because you're on your way!
    IOW, you've just conquered the biggest challenge to writing for most writers and done it effortlessly.
