Some of my best writing came on days when I started out sluggish. I write every day without fail.

I'm only ten minutes into the video but what you said around 7:46 - "I generally find that the things that feel hardest to write are the ones that are most worth writing" - already blew my mind a little bit! Thank you so much for this ❤

Thank you for putting all of these videos together, Kieran! Several of my favorite authors are included, but I would love a video about Joe Abercrombie 👍

Thank you for the positivity. When I was looking for writing advice, many authors gave all the reasons not to write. I like that you present a concept, give examples, and explain your thoughts. No judgment.

Loved this series, it's what brought me to your channel. Thanks for this compilation! As for requests, I'd love if you could do one on Markus Zusak. Cheers Kieran, keep on making great content for the writerly community.

I have been using your advice to edit my first book. I know you should not write a novel first, but my muse disagrees. I heard a quote, "A good book will write itself." This book and its characters have led me through my changes. I have cried twice. I am just finishing the first 20, 000 words.

I don't consider myself a writer but I'm trying to put a story on paper. I have no idea what I'm doing, your videos have been great. No one author's advice stands out its all been good. Thank you.

Raymond Chandlers quote about a story being distilled - he is saying that revision is just rewriting what you already have. Distilling a story is to remove all that is watering the story down, cutting what isn't necessary from the brew.
