Yes, please do a video on making us care about the character

@NataliaLeigh 4 года назад

Thanks for your feedback Matt! I'll add it to my list of video ideas :)

Caring for the character is really important. This is true.

@AuthorJCCarpenter 4 года назад

Yes please do a video on tension and making us care about the characters!

I sometimes get the impression that suspense is taken for granted (as if it’s purely organic in a story, rather than intentional and crafted on the part of the writer), so this was a really interesting and helpful video! I’ll be thinking of this more consciously in the revisions of my current WIP 🙃

The reader needs to care about the character before they can feel suspense - I really feel this. I just read Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer and the book was dripping with so much foreboding right from the first page. However, because the ominous stuff was all before I got to know the characters it just came off as empty and scary. Your video helped me understand a lot about why that book rubbed me the wrong way.

While caring for your character is really important, I also think there is something to be said about characters you really do not like. Either way having a strong emotion either way is super important. Great video!

Ive often assumed suspense & tension were synonymous but your explanation made it so clear. Natalia is my new go-to Authortube Thesaurus! And yes, I'll take that tension video thanks :-)

Sio Savi I’m so glad you enjoyed it Sio! Thanks for watching! This is a slightly different topic than what I normally cover, so I’m happy you found it helpful 🥰

@josephinegieske5523 4 года назад

Awesome video, I love suspense in books!! Very helpful information :)

@kentshawn8986 4 года назад

Awesome video! So enthused to be participating in Wordstock with everyone. Great point about character goals. Without a goal, there is no crisis, without crisis the character cant make a choice. YOu have a good handle on this. Thanks a lot!

@thecreatorsjourney5720 4 года назад

Great video Natalia. I kept nodding in agreement as you shared your wonderful tips on suspense. You are right that building relatable and interesting characters is the first step and I love that you said suspense happens in quiet moments. I need to remember that one.

@storydtechtiverobertjones464 4 года назад

Natalia...great video! An early mentor used to have a two line comparison about how knowing the character making all the difference before bad things start happening: Harry jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, Vs. Harry Belafonte jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge. Thanks for being a part of this :)

@jaimebarfield 4 года назад

Love the tips. Thanks for the video!

@Artraive 4 года назад

This was interesting, thank you 😊. I'm interested in that video about caring about characters. Plus I also hope you make that advanced video on formatting too with those features you mentioned but did not show. (Bleeding and how to insert interior designs etc...)

@ThisAdventureFamily 4 года назад

Awesome video ! You’ve got some seriously good content !

@jemimaa2003 4 года назад

Character video, yes please.!

@NataliaLeigh 4 года назад

Jemima A Coming right up! Thanks for letting me know you’d enjoy that topic ❤️

@AzzaYCF 4 года назад

This is absolute perfect timing as I just wrote a short suspenseful story. I gotta be honest, I think I've been using the words suspense and tension synonymously so it was interesting to hear your take on their differences. I see your points. Also, very impressed that you just sat down and spoke with confidence and ease about a topic for several minutes straight! 😃

@NataliaLeigh 4 года назад

AzzaYCF Hey! I’m glad this came at the right time, and I do hope you got some takeaways from it! Suspense is tricky, and I’ve definitely struggled with it, so I hope this was helpful!

@sherrithorne9771 4 года назад

Thank you so much. This is great timing, because I have two books that have suspense scenes in them. Can you do a video on making us care about the character please and thank you
