Those are where some of the best character moments happen! They get a moment to talk, and you can learn so much about them.

Yea that's really cool. Plus, it sounds like a good setting for you to remind readers about anything important in those past adventures. They'll enjoy being reminded about the awesome fun, but you can highlight any specific takeaways or anything that might be relevant in future narrative. Thanks for sharing!

Same here

No no it’s apart of the fun. I enjoy buying a software that I find myself not using and having to pay to stop being charged

@@jazzburrell8870 hahaha nice

Yeah. I'm thinking of getting rid of Adobe. Just need something else that is equally professional looking while not draining my bank account every month.

For sure! I definitely have to hit romance!

Like, when you say romance situations, and then go on to say fade-to-black, what you seem to mean is "Crank up the Barry Manilow and pour the bubbly." There's a difference between romance situations and, well, for lack of a better word, sexual situations. For instance, the bit I just wrote (from the perspective of both characters, too), would absolutely be a "romance" situation, but there's nothing sexual about it. And yes, it has something storywise happen right in the middle of it (in fact, one of the major defining points for both of them happens at that juncture). As to non-cringe, it's all in how you describe things. The way my spouse writes, it's what they want to read. Me? I usually fade-to-black or heavily imply there's going to be some wink-wink-nod-nod-if-ya-know-what-I-mean going on. I find that if something needs to happen with the characters while they're ah, *compromised* as such, it can usually be handled by describing the reaction of the person who has done the compromising. That's my £0.02 on it. Hope it helps, or at least gives you something to think about! :D

Ah yes, Perry Hotter! The young warlock that attends Dogwarts with his friends Don and Persephone

@@AroundTheCampfire Next video needs to about writing comedy, cause you're pretty good at it

I saw "LOTR" in this comment and thought the time, and someone was here to slay me for criticizing Tolkien lol. Yeah, I agree that they don't really stand up as great examples when talking about writing in modern times. Not everyone has 30 years to spend worldbuilding 😂

Thanks so much! We are working on a bunch of new stuff right now 😁

Thanks! Glad you liked it 😁

my man Iroh knew what he was talking about

Sanderson is so good. His method of making you ask questions to propel you forward is SO EFFECTIVE. I always want to keep reading!

He's already working on the next one 😁

The 1000+ episodes of one piece agree with you

Thanks! Tolkien isn't above criticism 🤷‍♀️

Love Rothfuss, but also we try not to think about Rothfuss 😔

I've never read any of Butcher's work, but one of the guys here at the company keeps telling me to read the Dresden Files, so I'll have to check it out eventually!

@@AroundTheCampfire. Have a friend who just ditched Stormlight archives for Dresden Files. It's that good. Great work you guys are doing.

Any recommended reading from Weeks? I'd love to check him out! Action is one of the more difficult things to write, so I'd love to read some great action.

@@AroundTheCampfire I've only started the Lightbringer series but already recommend it. IF you enjoy epic fantasy. The Black Prism (first book) is ~180K words, but he sucks you in quick!

I'm working on a book where the big mystery is how capitalist exploitation works and the main character slowly realizes he's a wage worker. Thing is: once you got all the relevant information from the big reveal in the middle, you have to be a complete doofus to not come to the correct conclusion in the next couple chapters. My main character is kinda too smart there. The second "half" of act II is half as long as it should be, and act III which leads up to the "let's occupy the factory!" speech is even shorter because the main character is still in the habit of petty bourgeois idealism - and if he wasn't, there wouldn't be an ending at all. This sucks!

Exactly bro! It’s so hard not to go too fast.
