Unfortunately not true. Many don't get a lifetime.

@@Maidaseu A lifetime doesn't mean "72 years on average." A tragically short life still lasts a lifetime. The context of the quote is a man asking death why he has to leave so soon, and this is the answer he got.

Shabuti R18 I say this too. Like omg, if these people can create crappy articles and stupid viral things-Why can’t I publish something with sense. :) haha

Can i ask what genre are you writing?

@@burntt999 I’m writing fantasy... how about you?

honestly, although its good to avoid negative comparisons, i think all writers (screenplay or creative-writing) can look towards the content of today and how diverse it is, and how much objectively bad stuff gets through, and feel a bit better about our own writing. I mean you read some of those critics or former Screenplay editors, who harshly describe how good you have to write a screenplay to get considered, how critical the industry is, and yet all of the most popular and biggest box office movies are quite honestly mediocre as hell. And that makes it somewhat relieving, because the market is so huge, there might be an audience for new writers.

I agree! Neil Gaiman's approach is relatable and his advice is invaluable. 😊 #Believe - Feb (from Evan's team)

True. :) #BTA219 Shine

His stories are so imaginative, fantastical worlds that blur the line between idea and reality like blurring right and wrong. Characters are weird and wonderful, sometimes being nothing more than ideas trying to make sense of the physical. It feels like he pulled all this out of his imagination, his dreams.

@@abdullahx4908 Exactly, you've got it perfectly! Reading his books feel like a fever dream dreamt in an armchair beside a softly crackling armchair. Suddenly, you awake to find yourself in a wholly different world, being catapulted to and fro between ideas until you blink and the story's ended, and you feel as if you've lost a friend.

@@tabithathecat you sounded just like him

@@abdullahx4908 I feel honoured by that statement, holy hell. Thank you! You do too, not to lie.

I'm sorry to hear about what your ex-wife did, ive read some other comments where people used to write a lot until their partner just completely spat and shit on what they wrote and their art, and then they stopped for years. That sort of response from your closest loved ones must be horrible to go through. But it's not about them, and I'm glad you're writing again. The nice thing about writing is that if you really get into it, you do it perhaps unsure of publishing, but enjoying the process anyways.

Bud - your Universe was telling you from very early on that you have a talent & therefore a calling. Wherever you are with it now - pursue it & right your Universe!

Damn, thank you for writing this, that was really good.

I see what you are saying but from an author's point (small fanfiction writer) It's hard not fall into that. When you are writing, you want your main character to be well received and liked. Q: what do you think is important for a god story. I think it's world building.

@@vinayvishwanadhan4608 For a good story? I think it's a number of things, including good world building, but it depends on what the focus is for your story. A lot of books are character driven, so the authors focus more on character development instead of creating a hugely complex world with culture, politics, language, etc. An example of this would be The All For Thr Game trilogy (the characters are great, definitely should read it if you haven't, but google the trigger warnings first there is some potentially triggering material in it, so be careful). In terms of directers and screenwriters who focus on world, Christopher Nolan is a great example, he notoriously uses characters for the exploration of world, like in the Batman Trilogy, the Joker and Batman are thematic opposites that tie in well with the two different sides of Gotham, one "good" and protective of people, the other "bad" and a true, Nietzsche-esque nihilist. But I think a key point to be made here is that even if you're focusing on character or world, it is by no means an excuse to create boring or unoriginal characters or world. I think what makes a good story, as a general rule, is good, complex characters with unique voices, opinions, ideologies, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexualities, etc. (please people, use diversity or else your characters are going to suck and it is going to put a lot of people off your book, and write them well, don't use token characters or stereotype), a good world with the relevant details explored like culture, politics, art, etc., don't over do worldbuilding because that can suck just as much as too little, it's an issue a lot of beginner writers have is that they develop this amazing, complex, detailed world and then info dump everything they've written into the first few chapters, where it is completing irrelevant. This is really terrible, not only for the readers, but also for the writers. Because, coming from someone who has been into creative fiction for 7-8 years, you want to show all your hard work, to put in every detail so your readers know how much you've created, but that isn't the most effective way of creating a good world, or a good novel. Instead, put in only what is relevant, especially for the first few chapters, only put in what the reader needs to understand and be engaged in your story, you can add more fun detail in by sparsely putting them through the book, but don't info dump. A good technique is the iceburg principle. Say you're developing your magic system and you need to show not only how it works, but also that this magic has been around for millennium, instead of going into detail about the entire process and history of the magic, take one important aspect to the magic and explain that as much as possible without over sharing the info, it will show a slice of the depth and detail of this magic without info dumping your notes into your book, and then in the future when you make a passing statement about the history of magic or something else, it will feel not only more real and believable, but the readers will also trust that you have developed this world sufficently. Now, the next aspect I feel like a lot of writers do not pay much time to, but should. Theme. Theme is incredibly important, it the backbone of your story, the fundamental building blocks of what will make your story actually great. However, a lot of writers over look this part because they feel like if they put theme into it, it will come across as preachy and like they are pushing a message onto their readers. And it can, if done incorrectly. Theme should be a big part of your story, but don't neglect the other aspects because obviously theme alone will not make your story great, you need a balance. I think a good starting poing for theme is world and characters, look at your world and try to develop it with a theme in mind, is the theme related to isolation And anonymity? Make a socially isolated and distant society. Then look at your characters, how do they act upon this world and theme, are they anti thematic to this isolated society? Or do they fit in but are trying to get out? How does the theme challenge and push the characters to change? The possibilities are endless. Another key point to make about theme is also to use symbols, physical objects or reoccurring patterns that represent character and theme. I feel like that is fundamentally what makes a good story, the worldbuilding, good characters, and engaging plot are all a given, especially in published works, but even in published novels, they often ignore or forget to put in an interesting, intricate, and well thought out theme with the use of symbols. It easily makes or breaks a story. I'd really recommend any writer read Anatomy Of Story by John Truby and maybe watch Brandon Sanderson's lectures on writing, they're all on UKposts.

I'd say; read both good and bad. You can learn from both. :)
