How did you know I was struggling to plot a mystery? Thank you!

@JoeWebb-TheStoryteller 2 года назад

I know all. But I'll leave THAT as a mystery ;)

@tasedeon2423 2 года назад

Holy cow, you have saved my crippling Mystery Thriller plot with this! You know sometimes, when a story would have a sequel planned, maybe returning to normality won’t always be the case, and the characters world is forever changed.

@JoeWebb-TheStoryteller 2 года назад

Oh wow, I didn't realise this video would be so helpful. I'm glad you got so much out of it :D

@MikeSiegert Год назад

I really respect the humbleness of a video like this. To me, you are a professional, and to see that your writing process is not flawless, and that you also had to pull up the structure of one of your own previous videos is very comforting as a beginner writer.

@ursulass3 2 года назад

I’m a Pantser not at all an Outliner, so it’s absolutely fascinating to me when I see other writers like yourself create an outline 😂 like I’m seriously impressed😱 I tried to do that but I just can’t, for me I write ✍🏾 as I go…I know it’s strange😆 but I enjoy watching this, it really helps me compare to the mystery series I’m currently writing and there’s something very soothing and calming about this video and even hearing the birds chirping in the background. Sorry long paragraph 😆 but thank you for this!

@JoeWebb-TheStoryteller 2 года назад

Aw I'm really glad you enjoyed this. Loads more to come. In the next long video, I actually start plotting out my next story. I swear sometimes being a pantser writing as you do might be better in some moments, as I get so caught up in the structure I forget to actually write, haha! Thanks for watching :D

@ursulass3 2 года назад

@@JoeWebb-TheStoryteller LOL! Yes you’re right, even as a Pantser myself, I guess having a little bit of both (Pantser/Outliner) can come in really handy☺️ I know sometimes I need to write a few notes/ideas/outlines from time to time, it helps and Yess I look forward to watching what you have coming up!

@falks941 2 года назад

Joe, this is so helpful! More than anything I’ve seen on RU-vid so far in writing! I’m trying to plot a mystery in parallel to my character’s individual stories and this was an enormous help. Looking forward to seeing more of your content 😇

@monstar4 2 года назад

Omg I love this. I'm glad you did it. I find it hard to get myself in the groove of writing. But having the ability to write alongside a writer I look up to is very motivating. I wish you the best of luck in this writing world. And I hope you have a wonderful day Joe. Stay motivated and always be positive. We love and support you.💙

@anziacromer9945 4 месяца назад

I didn’t write my story but I wrote notes on what you were saying (waaaay too many pages I’m sure) and in my head filled in what would go where. I’m going to go find your other videos now. This was great!

Hi, i was looking up about making mystery short stories and found your video. I've been playing this in the background as i take naps or short breaks from my work. I really enjoyed this type of video and felt your presentation was satisfying, entertaining and informative, even with the many mishaps that you went through in the making of the video. So anyways I enjoyed the behind the scenes process, and will love to see more. Enjoy the sub 👍

@annaelisabethgeissler 2 года назад

YOU CALL THIS MESSY? I'm just absolutely stunned how quickly you've basically written an outline, without any actual characters. I need my characters for plot, so this was very interesting...

@JoeWebb-TheStoryteller 2 года назад

Brill, looking forward to reading it. Also I'm glad this was helpful to you. I am overly organised, sometimes to my own detriment, haha! XD

@flappleduck7584 Год назад

This actually helped me a lot. I'm currently for school needing to write a short story but I'm extending it out, a lot. I was thinking of extending the page number from around 5 to about 50 maybe 100, and this should help a ton.

@asm1113 2 года назад

Hey Joe can you please make a video about how to write a horror mystery novel . Also if you can highlight the mistakes that should be avoided - that would be great. Now about this video, I loved watching the raw process and felt bad at the point where the trees were cut off. More power to you🤍

@brianna6377 2 года назад

Note: "guidance" could also involve an opportunity to recontextualize the clues they've gathered. Perhaps why they're at a dead end is because they obsessed over one puzzle piece when they should have been studying another. Or perhaps they assumed that a puzzle piece "must" be part of the puzzle when it isn't and the real clue was overlooked at the place where the piece was found.

@Belerofonte2588 Год назад

Power cuts whilst explaining the outlining of your mystery. *Queue dramatic music*! The tree choppers were the red herring, the real clue was the Tesco Tea; Tesco didn't appreciate the slander! Plot twist. The kettle killed the power, in the kitchen, with the induction heater.

Me (compelte amateur) : Watches video is working along, pauses goes on phone. Get's up from around pc goes on phone, start watching useless youtube shorts. Get's upset closes phone for a little bit, think to myself about the story. Suddenly gets massive inspiration, then hammers out an outline of what I wanna do and accompish with my story, feels super happy. Honestly I started writing for about week now and i have 0 background in it and oh my gosh, I can see the potential light at the end of the tunnel. I just might be able to write something. Posting this for accountability, also just me screaming into the void the emotions I feel. Also lowkey procastinating already. P.S I have never read or written a mystery novel before, would appreciate some recommendations from anyone. P.S.S I haven't realised how little I know till i started to try and write about stuff. P.S.S.S I already regret posting this before even commenting it.

Try reading Dame Agatha Christie, Walter Mosley, John D. MacDonald and James M. Cain. They are all very different writers. Hopefully, by reading their books, you’ll get a feel for the genre which will allow you to explore many, many other mystery writers. Have fun and good luck.
