How Do You Show Thoughts in Third Person POV?
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Месяц назад
Today, we look at The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson for our example. It's written in third-person close POV with alternating perspectives, and it does an incredible job of this. I discuss the first scene from the main character's perspective, third-person POV, and past tense. #writingcommunity #writingtips #booktok #stormlightarchive #brandonsanderson I also highly recommend Brandon Sanders...

Show Don't Tell In The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

Think of an object and an action someone can do with that object to show the character's feelings, rather than directly stating the feelings. In this video, we look at The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins, the prequel to The Hunger Games, for examples of emotions reflected in the objects characters use. This is called the objective correlative. I'm a novelist with two acclaimed...

Do You Need a Twist or a Reveal in the Middle? (Yes, You Do!)
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.2 месяца назад
If you've ever gotten stuck in the muddy middle, it may be because you didn't have a strong enough twist or turn at the midpoint, and therefore, your story ends up feeling repetitive. Both to the reader and YOU. In most plot structures, including the three-act, four-act, and five-act plot structures, the twist or turn at the midpoint happens . . . in the middle. It's a key before-and-after mome...

Thanks!
Thank you so much for saying that! This is my goal.
I've been going through your channel and it's been helping me with my writing. Writing is my passion and I strive to become an author. Your channels have been providing me with some very great ideas and tips to make my first book better.
I'm so glad. Thank you so much for telling me that.
A logic main sentence in english needs to have the SPO structure. Subject, Predicat/Verb, Object. Howe is doing it? (S) What is he doing ? (P) And with what/whom? (O) There are really long sentences out there, and then you should know where the main sentence really is, and you should be able to check these, too.
Since this channel is designed for kids, teaching subject verb object doesn’t work. However, they do know if something makes sense. Also, a common issue for kids is the unintentional run-on, continuing forever. Lol! So yes, you aren’t wrong, but it’s not a great way to teach kids.
