As the main characters grow up, they will experience problems in social, political, and economic fields. I'll also add some romantic relationships and deeper philosophy.They will encounter politics and religion, and kill each other because some parasite has told them to do so.
A superpower by definition is neither reasonable nor believable!Modern professional athletes have some kind of superpowers compared to average humans, at least in their fields of competition. They can be seen from world records which keep getting broken.
To say "they have superpowers" seems to rather misrepresent the fact that they typically work very hard.A superpower by definition is neither reasonable nor believable!Modern professional athletes have some kind of superpowers compared to average humans, at least in their fields of competition. They can be seen from world records which keep getting broken.
There's a difference between being bigger and better at something like running or throwing, and having a superpower like being able to fly or see through walls.What I meant was to amplify those above average abilities to extraordinary levels as far as permitted by natural laws, like conservation of momentum and thermodynamics. It might be done e.g. by enhancing drug, genetic modification, or artificial implantted organs. The genre is sci-fi after all.
Outline your saga, pick out the best story and publish that first, then release prequel and sequel stories, sell it to Disney and retire.Making money is not the main objective of this project.
the goal is to introduce and socialize /popularize critical thinking, science literacy, and basic ethics to children so they could be equipped with mental tools to face the world in front of them.
After its release on videotape, she sought performance and song royalties on the video sales. Disney CEO Michael Eisner refused, thus she filed suit in 1988. Eventually in 1992, the California Court of Appeals order Disney to pay Lee $3.2 million in compensation or about 4% of the video sales.

Do you have any dealings with real children? The bottle is clearly marked "poison", and Junior Shipman knows exactly what not to do with it.
Nah Hamdani, it will never sell. For the great unwashed today, I recommend hard core porn!Selling it is not a priority. I don't really mind if I have to publish it for free. With enough number of readers, I might still get something from advertising.
But it should not stop you from telling them not to drink poison.There's a significant difference between telling someone not to drink anything labelled poison because you will die, and telling them "don't punch or kick like this [demonstrates] because you will kill the other person".
There's a significant difference between telling someone not to drink anything labelled poison because you will die, and telling them "don't punch or kick like this [demonstrates] because you will kill the other person".What seems to be lacking is knowledge of the consequences, directly and indirectly, to the individuals involved as well as other people around them.
I'm sure teachers and parents tell kids not to attack each other with knives, but they still do. The advantage of karate is that you can't be arrested for having bare hands.
What seems to be lacking is knowledge of the consequences, directly and indirectly, to the individuals involved as well as other people around them.I'm pretty sure that anyone who stabs another several times with a knife has a good idea of what he intends to achieve.
On the other hand, self defense using guns is permitted.Not under UK law.
What I meant was to amplify those above average abilities to extraordinary levels as far as permitted by natural laws, like conservation of momentum and thermodynamics.
I'm pretty sure that anyone who stabs another several times with a knife has a good idea of what he intends to achieve.Not sure if it applies to kids. It depends on the location of the stabbing.
Not under UK law.Yes it is, as long as it's "reasonable".
You seem to be moving towards a gory comic, or possibly an anatomy textbook.Whose hallucination is that? Is it you, or a free AI model?
In a flash, radioactive Marine Barbie decrypted the alien battle plan. "This calls for the active-shielded titanium evening dress" she thought "but my tattooist appointment will have to wait". Changing sex whilst running through the kitchen* he picked up a serrated carving knife and disembowelled the first zombie. "just for once" he said "let's forget the bloody president and concentrate on curing myopia, with a proportionate carbon offset and lashings of ginger beer."
I'll leave it to you to decide how he/she gets reunited with the dog.
*you'll need the kitchen run if it's ever going to be a movie
An 80 year old in a wheelchair who shoots a twentysomething running at him with an axe is acting legally- as long as the firearm is licensed.The farmer who shot a persistent and violent intruder in the middle of the night, ended up in prison. His shotgun was indeed licensed.
They might be wise to claim they were aiming for the legs.
Whose hallucination is that? Is it you, or a free AI model?I'm just summarising all the trendy woke things that will appeal to modern youth. There is an alternative, based more accurately on observation:
The farmer who shot a persistent and violent intruder in the middle of the night, ended up in prison. His shotgun was indeed licensed.
There is an alternative, based more accurately on observation:What kids can learn from this kind of story? How can it help them to make better decisions?
John was staring at his phone. Then the world ended.
"Martin shot three times towards the intruders (once when they were in the stairwell and twice more when they were trying to flee through the window of an adjacent ground floor room). Barras was hit in the back ".Odd that a farmer didn't have a valid licence - it's as much part of the business as a driving licence. A few days out of date, perhaps?
That's not self defence, is it?
Odd that a farmer didn't have a valid licenceNot in the circumstances.
So why not humans attacking him?And, once again...
Martin shot three times towards the intruders ... when they were trying to flee
Why are a few shotgun pellets in the arse of a known scumbag considered unreasonable?
Not in the circumstances.So damaging an intruder's property is an offence, but killing him isn't. Be careful you don't make holes in his clothes next time - one shot to the head, please. Which definitely means a short rifle, not a shotgun. H&K do a nice police weapon with a laser.
"Martin had his shotgun certificate revoked in 1994 after he found a man stealing apples in his orchard and shot a hole in the back of his vehicle".
Shooting someone in the back when they are running away is not self defence.But incinerating noncombatants with nuclear weapons is. I learn something every day.
So it's OK to kill an attacker with a shot to the front, but not to wound him in the arse.Mr Martin was jailed for manslaughter BECAUSE HE KILLED SOMEONE.
He lost his license to own/ use a shotgun because he used the shotgun to do something illegal.So if he'd damaged the vehicle with a hammer, would he have been prevented from owning or using a hammer?
So if he'd damaged the vehicle with a hammer, would he have been prevented from owning or using a hammer?IMO, it depends on the main function of each tools, and how high the risk of harming someone unintentionally.
So it's OK to use a gun for self defence, as long as you don't actually kill anyone.Not necessarily.
as long as it's "reasonable".are you struggling with?
The effect of a shotgun on a human is pretty much a matter of chance.Not if you know how to use it- that's pretty much the point.
So if he'd damaged the vehicle with a hammer, would he have been prevented from owning or using a hammer?After that action, he would not have a license to own a hammer.

Never assume your enemy doesn't feed and drill his soldiers!That's exactly why the hero must train harder and smarter. Learning from experienced fighters can help identify which techniques work, and which don't. Also, which techniques is more appropriate for which situation, or more effective against other techniques.

Welcome back to another video! Today, we're exploring a topic suggested by a subscriber: How do you know you're not completely wasting your time trying to become an author? Is it worth all the time and effort you're putting in?
In this video, we explore the life and philosophy of the twentieth century writer George Orwell. How has his worked affected the course of the world, and how have we ignored his warnings about the terrible ways the world might go?
How do you know you're not completely wasting your time trying to become an author? Is it worth all the time and effort you're putting in?
Using AI can reduce wasted time. Putting the writing online for free can maximize impact on people in the world. An example, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martian_(Weir_novel)How do you know you're not completely wasting your time trying to become an author? Is it worth all the time and effort you're putting in?
The answer is "not completely", but pretty close. Fewer than 5% of proffered manuscripts get beyond a first reading. You could of course self-publish, so you'd be wasting less time but more money.
You can publish your book completely for free in just 15-30 minutes and honestly it's extremely easy! In this video I'll share 5 steps and show you how to go through each one, including how to actually upload your book to the print on demand company, get the right cover and interior file types, and officially publish your book!
Uploading a file is one thing, marketing your intellectual property is another. And that's where agents, editors and publishers get involved.Being endorsed and promoted by influential people can be an effective marketing strategy. Traditional publishers act as the influential people.
Ernest Hemingway is regarded by many as one of the greatest craftsmen of sentences. His work, particularly his short fiction, is known around the world for saying everything with very little. The true magic of a Hemingway piece lies between the lines.
This way of writing is referred to as "Hemingway's Iceberg Theory", and is great way for young writers to apply in order to improve their craft. It's helped me tremendously with my own work.

Some people write because they have stories they want to share with the world. Other people write because they dream of the fame that comes with a breakout book. Still, others might write because there's a world, characters, or plot that rattles around their head for years and they need to get it out.

Today I have a very special breakdown on storytelling. Not just because storytelling is so important to charisma and life, but because I am actually in this breakdown as the interviewer.
And the person I?m interviewing is without exaggeration one of the people I most admire on the planet. His name is Scott Harrison and as the founder of charity:water he has helped raise over 100 million dollars by telling stories for a good cause.
So in this video you?re going to learn the 3 high level principles that will help you to tell more engaging stories in any environment.

Don't just write more. Write better.
What if the way you describe your characters and settings is the very thing that?s turning readers off? Most writers think more detail equals better writing?but in reality, that can kill narrative momentum. In this video, Tim Grahl breaks down the #1 mistake writers make with description?and how to fix it immediately.
After reviewing over 2,000 scenes in our Story Grid workshops, we've seen the same pattern again and again: well-meaning writers overload readers with irrelevant details, slowing the story to a crawl. If you've ever gotten feedback like ?This scene feels slow? or ?I skimmed this part,? you need to watch this.
? Learn the real purpose of description?and why most writers get it wrong
? Discover the two simple tools that will transform your exposition: Minimum Viable Exposition and Just-In-Time Exposition
? Understand how to choose what to describe (and more importantly, what to leave out)
? See real examples of bad vs. great description?and what makes them work
? Learn how to weave emotional cues into your details without ever ?telling? your reader how to feel
? Master the subtle craft of using sensory detail to drive narrative rather than stall it
? Discover how expert feedback can accelerate your growth 10x faster than going it alone
Whether you're writing your first novel or trying to level up your craft, mastering description is non-negotiable. It?s time to write pages that readers can?t stop turning.

? Discover the secret weapon behind stories that are impossible to put down?it?s not what you think.
? Learn the 5 steps for building a powerful crisis that drives plot, reveals character, and delivers emotional payoff.

Also, to be clear, I mean no disrespect to hard sci-fi fans. I actually love hard sci-fi, and these characters are all straw men. (If you look closely, you can see the hay poking out from under their sleeves.)
It's simple: hard scifi is when space travel is massively inconvenient, yet everyone is doing it.
My favorite sci fi are retracted scientific papers

What does it have to do with using AI assistant?
In this video, I explore how the rise of AI as creative tools is reshaping the landscape for writers.

Most writers think querying a literary agent is about having a great book. It?s not. If you don?t understand how agents actually think, you don?t have a shot. This video breaks down the brutal math, industry incentives, and insider knowledge you must know before hitting send on your query letter.
Whether you?re an aspiring author or deep into the submission process, this is the video that will change how you approach agents forever.
? Why 99% of query letters get ignored?and how to stand out
? The three things every agent is really looking for (and it?s not what you think)
? How market fit, publisher targeting, and platform can make or break your chances
? The truth about advances, royalties, and what agents actually earn on your deal
? Why most books fail financially?and how to help agents believe yours won?t
? How to reduce the agent?s workload so they say ?yes? faster
? The biggest mindset shift you need to make before querying anyone
This isn?t about gaming the system?it?s about seeing the publishing industry clearly, so you can work with it, not against it.
Do you actually have a title, a plot, or a hero yet?Yes. I've written some of them in sudowrite.com. to arrange the plot into a connected storyline. Previously I wrote the scenes I want to write in a spreadsheet.
If not, I think you would find it more profitable to write something than to watch videos about it.
This is the best writing advice I can give: don?t write in order! If you want to know more about my book on this, the link will be in the books section of this description.
Someone said something like, "Readers start a book at the beginning and go on to the end. Writers start in the middle and fight their way out."

One thing that really comforted me, was hearing a Brandon Sanderson saying something along the lines of: "Of all the people I know, who have written books, few have published them. However, none have regretted it."
Plot twists are one of those writing elements that are often misunderstood. In this video I'll break down the best way to structure a plot twist into a story as well as several other factors that will help you use your plot twists to the best effect.

Your story is falling apart?and you don?t even see it yet.
Most plot holes aren?t big, dramatic mistakes. They?re quiet breaks in logic, motivation, or theme that make readers stop and think:
?Wait? What just happened??
These subtle story breaks are sabotaging your manuscript?and in speculative fiction, where world rules and logic matter deeply, they can destroy immersion and reader trust.
In this video, I?ll show you:
✅ How to spot hidden plot holes fast using the DAC method
✅ How to work backward from your story?s Ley Line to fix logic gaps without guesswork
✅ A real coaching case study showing how one author turned an unconvincing connection into a plot-driving, emotionally rich relationship
✅ How critique partners are great for catching these issues during self-editing?and how to find one that actually helps
You know the scene?s not working?but you don?t know why.
Most authors revise the same chapters over and over, hoping it?ll finally click. But without the right self-editing strategy, nothing changes (at least nothing that makes a real difference)?and your novel still isn?t ready to query, publish, or impress readers.
And in this video, I?ll walk you through 3 powerful revision techniques I use with the authors I coach:
✅ The one thing you must do BEFORE you revise
✅ How to strengthen your story scene by scene, making them each work hard on multiple levels
✅ The key things each scene needs to deliver what readers really want
These self-editing techniques will help you stop editing in circles and finally make real progress toward the novel you know your story can become.
Powerful Action Lines: The Screenwriting Skill No One Teaches
Most screenwriters treat action lines like filler?just something to get from one block of dialogue to the next. But pros know better. Your action lines are your voice. They?re the reason a reader keeps turning pages? or doesn?t.
In this video, I?ll show you:
Why most action lines fall flat?and how to fix them

Think you can tell the difference between human and AI writing? In this video, I show you how I learned to spot the telltale signs of AI-generated content?and more importantly, how to transform that writing so it doesn?t get flagged. Whether you?re using AI tools for research, productivity, or content generation, it?s increasingly important to understand how AI detectors work and what they look for.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The prompt used in this video:
I have a block of AI-generated text that I want to revise so it sounds like it was written by a human.
Please improve it using the following guidelines:
? Vary sentence structure and sentence length to increase burstiness
? Introduce intellectual hesitation (e.g., "may suggest", "appears to", "is likely to")
? Add nuance, subtle critique, or alternative perspectives where appropriate
? Avoid overused or generic AI vocabulary like ?delve,? ?robust,? ?innovative,? etc.
? Use more natural transitions (and not too many like "therefore", "moreover", "in conclusion")
? Replace vague examples with specific, relatable, or realistic details
? Adjust tone and style so it sounds less polished and more human (a little informal is okay)
? If relevant, include first-person voice or a light anecdotal tone
? Break repetition in how sentences begin (e.g., don?t start every sentence with ?This study?? or ?It is important??)
? Preserve the *original meaning* and context, but improve naturalness and authenticity
Here is the AI-generated text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This isn?t about cheating or avoiding responsibility. It?s about understanding how these systems operate, especially when original, human-written work can still be misidentified as AI. That?s why I take you through the mechanics of an AI detector bypass and explain how you can responsibly revise or rewrite your text to reflect your own voice and intent.
I also walk through practical techniques to bypass originality scoring tools?not with hacks or shady methods, but with a deeper understanding of language variation, sentence structure, and academic tone. You?ll learn the signals detectors rely on, such as syntactic repetition, low perplexity, and formulaic transitions?and how to adjust your writing accordingly.
One of the most useful tools I demonstrate in this video is a prompt-based method that helps revise AI-generated text. If you're wondering how to bypass AI content detection, or even more specifically, how to bypass AI detection ChatGPT outputs might trigger, this video lays it all out. You?ll see how I take text from a detector-flagged 100% AI-generated paragraph to one that scores as 100% original?without losing academic integrity or meaning.
Best of all, these methods don?t rely on paid services. Everything I demonstrate is based on freely available tools, making this a guide to free AI bypass detection techniques that anyone can apply. Whether you're an academic, student, or content creator, understanding and managing AI detection is becoming a key part of working with large language models responsibly.

In this video, we take a look at a simple but powerful technique that ensures you never get stuck when writing your novel.
I use a plot grid to outline every single book I write. I learned it from an article about how JK Rowling outlined the Harry Potter books, and in this video, I explain what a plot grid is, how I use it to outline, how I use it to revise, and also share a template so you can create plot grids of your own.
I made this video YEARS ago on this channel, but I wanted to re-do it with clearer examples and also include a template. So, here you go.
Have you ever used a plot grid to outline your books?
I always start plotting my books by figuring out these 5 plot points. In this video, I break down what each of the plot points are and what order I figure them out in when putting down my first ideas for a novel.
ALL OF THESE PLOT POINTS WILL CHANGE WHEN WRITING.
I always come up with ideas when plotting a book out, but almost always, I come up with better ideas while writing and change the plot points around. At this early step, all I want to do is create a starting point for myself that lets me jump into writing quickly and sets me up for success instead of for getting overwhelmed at how daunting the project is and giving up.

Hyperbole Meaning ? We break down one of the most common literary devices.
Chapters:
00:00 - Introduction to Hyperboles
00:52 - Hyperbole Defined
03:07 - Chapter 1: Verbal Hyperbole
07:16 - Chapter 2: Visual Hyperbole
10:33 - Chapter 3: Genre Hyperbole
14:01 - Takeaways
─────────────────────
WHAT IS HYPERBOLE?
Where would we be without hyperbole? How could we declare our love for someone? How could we adequately state how hungry we are? Happy we are? Angry? Hyperbole has a myriad of uses, but its core purpose is to emphasize. When we say "I love you to the moon and back," we are using hyperbole to emphasize the magnitude of our love. So how can this figure of speech be used in movies? We take a look.
HYPERBOLE LITERARY TERM
The most common form of hyperbole is verbal. Verbal hyperbole emerges in dialogue that pushes expression beyond the bounds of literal truth. Characters declare things that are far larger, grander, or more extreme than reality? not to deceive, but to communicate the depth of their feelings or convictions. It is a kind of emotional shorthand, condensing a state of mind into a line that can be instantly understood.
HYPERBOLE IN MOVIES
Visual hyperbole operates through imagery and design. A set might be built to an impossible scale, a movement might defy physical limits, or the framing of a shot might distort proportion to intensify impact. Editing can stretch or compress time for dramatic effect, while lighting and color can be pushed far beyond naturalism to evoke a heightened mood.
GENRE HYPERBOLE LITERARY DEVICES
Some genres embrace hyperbole so completely that it becomes part of their identity. Comedy often thrives on overstatement, playing situations to the point of absurdity to provoke laughter. Melodrama leans into emotional excess, giving every feeling a sense of epic magnitude. Musicals lift the ordinary into the extraordinary, where bursts of song and dance transform the simplest action into a moment of spectacle.
In film, hyperbole is less of a distortion of truth so much as a magnification of it. By amplifying language, images, and genre conventions, filmmakers invite audiences into an intensified version of reality. In the end, isn't that what movies are for?
When to Show vs. Tell
?Show, don?t tell? isn?t a strict rule?it?s a tool. Knowing when to show and when to tell is what makes a skilled writer.
Use Showing When:
✔ Emotions are running high
✔ You want readers to experience the scene deeply
✔ Character relationships are evolving
✔ The moment is pivotal to the plot
Use Telling When:
✔ You need to bridge time gaps (Three weeks passed.)
✔ You?re providing necessary background (The revolution had started in spring.)
✔ The action is routine (She drove to work.)
✔ The moment doesn?t need emotional depth
📌 Example:
Instead of showing six months of work life, you can tell:
✅ Sarah had been working at the firm for six months when the Richardson case landed on her desk.
But when she gets a life-changing case, you show:
✅ The case file thumped against her desk, making her jump. ?Your first solo,? Pete said. Sarah?s fingers trembled as she reached for the folder. Richardson vs. Henderson Insurance. The same company that had denied her mother?s claim last year. Her throat went dry as she flipped open the cover.
Conclusion: The Art of Show vs. Tell
Mastering show, don?t tell is one of the most powerful skills a writer can develop. It transforms writing from flat and explanatory to immersive and engaging, pulling readers into the world of the story rather than keeping them at arm?s length.
By observing human behavior, using vivid figurative language, crafting compelling actions, and leveraging the environment, dialogue, and specific details, you can convey emotions, deepen character development, and make your scenes come alive.
However, remember that showing is a tool, not an unbreakable rule. The best writers balance showing and telling, knowing when to draw readers deep into a moment and when to move efficiently through the story.
So, the next time you write a scene, challenge yourself:
Can I replace an explanation with observable details?
Is there a way to let the reader infer the emotion instead of naming it?
Does this moment require deep immersion, or should I summarize and move forward?
Imagine being inadvertently left for dead on Mars, completely alone and abandoned by your crew, with nothing but your wits and a scant amount of precious supplies to keep you alive.
That?s the enthralling premise of the best-selling science-fiction survival novel and soon-to-be released motion picture, ?The Martian,? scheduled to run in theaters nationwide on Oct. 2.
Amidst a whirlwind media blitz, the book?s author, Andy Weir, took time to visit the Laboratory on Wednesday, entertaining a packed house of nearly 400 Lab employees and special guests with his wit, vast and varied scientific knowledge and tales of his sudden rise to stardom.
?It?s kind of a homecoming,? Weir said. ?It?s special for me because it?s where I grew up.?

All-in-all, I think the second book has been easier than the first for me. This is (I have heard) not the usual experience. In part, I think this is because I didn't have to work as hard to create the characters (they already existed) and because I had some really strong ideas coming out of the last one.
Still, there are some practical reasons why it was easier as well...just because I knew about them now. Ways in which I had previously misunderstood the writing process. Here are a few of those things.
Expert writers use strategies that help make their dialogue sharp. It's important to use writing tips that make characters sound natural and unique. Even expert writers struggle, but experience and writing advice can help you write flawless dialogue.
