Hello there. I’m a major nerd who loves sci-fi and fantasy. I’m a hobbyist YouTuber where I talk about things I enjoy. Don’t expect professionalism from the channel. Also a writer. Stay a while won’t you?

Character *is* choice. Backstory and quirks are only window dressing if they don't inform the choices the characters make that propel the story. The more interesting the choices, the more interesting the character. And often times, audiences want characters making different choices than they would.

Half the job of breaking into writing is figuring out how to break into writing. Just writing isn't enough. There is no one way in. There are hundreds. And figuring out which way will work best for you and your work is the trick of it. Every one of us has a very different story about how we did it.

Failure is part of the process. No one cares about your failures. No one wants to talk about your unsold manuscripts or the drafts that didn't work before they finally did. Your successes will define you. So don't be afraid to fail. Fail, fail, and fail again. It's the only way to find success.

Being a writer is almost entirely about perseverance. Life is going to continuously try to keep you from writing or from getting published or from getting things made, and you just have to get in life's way and say “No.”

When brainstorming a story, it doesn't matter whether you begin with your plot or your characters first. Develop in whatever order works for you. But when the work is finished, it has to feel like the two are inextricable - like one couldn't exist without the other. If it doesn't, you've failed.
