Writing advice. It can be a good thing, but eventually, it can become dangerous. If you listen to everyone else's input about your story, you might end up with less creativity and passion than you started with--and you might even want to stop writing. Why does this happen and how can you avoid it? Let's talk about it!

Great vid. I went to an IRL writing class where a trad published writer of military fiction was giving AWFUL advice to a Regency romance writer. I've also seen people giving "advice" to people who I know were better writers than them. The problem is, I've also seen some great advice in crit groups. The thing is, consider the source and, most important, *Know thyself... and thy genre, and what your art is trying to convey.*

Your videos are always so honest and uplifting. Thanks for another awesome vid, this is exactly what I needed to hear to kick out that next little bit of writing I needed to do. I was so weighed by the what and how, instead of finishing the content/creative part. Good advice to take ... less advice... or at least not to take advice at the sacrifice of passion. Thanks again.

You’re welcome! I know how easy it can be to get stuck in that self-doubt rut, so I’m glad I could help. And I love the way you worded that: don’t take advice at the sacrifice of passion. That’s exactly it. Keep writing and don’t lose sight of that passion. :)

I'll stave off the passionless burnout for another day. Thanks again 🙂

Without joking, this video was just what i needed to find the courage to keep writing

I’m so glad! Definitely keep writing, you’ve got this!

thanks. after taking so many advice i just stopped being able to write anything. never felt i was good enough in the first place and then having other people tell me what to do just made it worse. it's just really overwhelming i just wanted to learn the fundamentals but everyone keeps telling you how to write your story and it's really annoying.

I absolutely get that. Just tune them out and follow your own creative direction. You’ve got this!

If people take the advice as rules it can be dangerous but if they just few at as stated as advice. It can be constructive

We need a video of nothing but the bloopers

All serious, this was such a good and refreshing video. Too much advice- advice I never asked for- had balled me up the last 7 years from writing. It hasn’t been until recently have I been able to break out of that shell and start to write again. I’m still too scared to have people read what I’m writing, as I don’t want more harsh, unsolicited advice, but that is a hurdle down the road.

I’m glad you liked it! Advice can really be harmful sometimes. It’s always a good idea to only show your writing to those who you know have your best interests in mind and who want to see you grow and succeed. ❤️ Good to hear from you again, Kaitlyn!
