ABOUT
I'm Grayson Taylor, an author and filmmaker, here to help you on your creative journey by sharing what I've learned—and what I'm still learning—about storytelling. After writing my first full-length novel when I was seven, I've authored more than a dozen action-adventure, sci-fi, mystery, and dystopian books. I've also written and directed several short films, composed music, and acted onstage, on TV, and in films.
You'll find writing advice, publishing tips, and behind-the-scenes videos on my channel.

Very high level of quality for such a small channel, looking forward to your growth

All of your answers were well-thought out, thank you!

“Endless revisions”

😅 Yeah. Wouldn’t that be an awful situation that I certainly haven’t been caught in for years trying to write 4 books at once. Nope. Couldn’t be me 😅

You should look for author Stacy James Meadows. Anyway interesting and informative video. 👍

I wanna go to London one day and recreate the Parks and Rec scene that goes:

"I can't believe we're at Hogwarts!"
"No that's Buckingham Palace. Hogwarts is fictional, do you know that? It's important to me that you know that."

and then the iconic Ron Swanson scenes:

*takes a picture of Big Ben*
"Look, a clock. We don't have that in America."

*sees a postcard of "London at Night"* (just a black image)
"That's very funny. Excuse me, I'd like to buy this."
"We don't accept American currency here, sir."
"Course you do that's the greatest piece of paper in the world"
"Very sorry, sir"
"Fine, enjoy the fact that your royal overlords are an old woman and a tiny baby" (at the time it was filmed lol)

Is it possible for someone to become an author without any professional knowledge of writing???

Because I'm not a literature student or anything but pursuing computer degree. But i love reading and currently strated writing a story.... But it's really tough. Sometimes i think it's something that's possible only by professionals... Is my thinking true??
