I never really realized how hard writing actually is until I actually did it, It's actually given me a lot more confidence now that I've finished all of it, and all I have left to do is some animation. Love your channel by the way, it's one of the only sci fi channels that actually discusses the behind the scenes work necessary to make sci-fi, rather than just lore.

Gonna admit, I really, really needed to realise that I can just skip a scene if I'm having trouble with it. One of those bits of advice thats so obvious that no-one says it.

I've never considered the Hitchcock table-bomb analogy as pertaining to character emotions and dramatic irony before, but now that I'm thinking about it that way, it makes total sense. Thanks for that insight; great vid!

I love a good waffle once in a while. Really appreciating this "series", a lot of solid advice I'm taking away as someone who dabbles in writing as a hobby.

Oh hey, I didn't know Marc was on here! Makes sense seeing as he's a big Star Trek guy. Dude's a legend and an absolute gem.

I've run into many of the problems mentioned, but you didn't talk about names. Names of aliens, alien races, and technology can be a huge problem because unless the reader is extremely familiar with sci-fi they might not understand it.

And I really don't want to just steal names from other properties (hyper drive, warp drive, impulse, transporter, blaster, phaser, etc) but coming up with new names for all that stuff can be a real hassle.

Hey, that's not Skippy from Family Ties.

[TrekBeatTK]

Ah, different Marc Price. I was wondering why you were hanging out with the kid from Family Ties.

I have seen your first part and I would like to know if you received my email on my animated Star Trek show? It's called Star Trek: The New Human Adventure, it takes place between TMP and TWOK.
