I tried to write like James Joyce once. It didn't end well.

please keep making videos, never stop. i think it will be a while until this channel catches on, because of how real it is. you must continue helping writers on yt. every time you tell your experience of writing it resonates with me and where im at. today the first thing you said made my jaw drop, how actual sentences just dont matter, for a long long time. haha. through my experience i cant agree more that the actual sentences of your story are some of the last things you do! my point is that youre lessons have helped me more than the channels i use to frequent, because im actually writing a book, a real book. and this channel has said more little nuggets that resonated with me than any crazy wackadoo book tube channel. so please dont ever be discouraged at growth on here. if you keep going, you can be an adult's writing channel for people who intend to finish their work, who will forever be thankful. and the world will have more stories than it would have otherwise. theres channels on here that make a million dollars for themself but dont teach anyone anything. this is not that channel. this is a real channel. haha not saying you dont deserve one million dollars. you deserve several!!
