There are so many types of writers out in the world.

There are the writers who love to do world building, who thrive with character dialogue, who get really into the layers of their character's personality and physical appearances, and then there's the writers who just have this incredible ability to create atmospheric sensations with their words. 

But, like anything, when it comes to novel writing, there are good ways and bad ways to display your poetry like words. Of course, this is subjective on what does and doesn't work, but today we explore various mediums of art which have created projects that lean heavily on the atmospheric nature of their work and what went well and what didn't.

Scarlett Marie is a true born creative, who has spent her whole life dabbling in the arts and craft, only to find her feet in the world of words whereby she has spent over fifteen years making stories come alive.

Her time and energy has been mainly spent on the series A Royal Life, of which she started drafting when she was fifteen. 

Here on the 'Diary of a Writer' she hopes to show people a peek behind the door of what it means to live as a full-time creative.

We as creators have the choice to either create something bland that can be referred to as content, or we have the ability to spend time with a project and add depths of layers to it to give it a feeling of art. 

Today we're discussion a recently released album that did phenomenally well to show the different layers involved in creating a piece of art and how these different layers can be formed in creative writing.

Unknowingly, we read so many stories which have a seed of origin we're not aware of. In the white western world, we're all aware of the most famous seeds of fiction like Merlin and King Arthur, Robin Hood and the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, but there's a bunch of other stories and characters that are just as old, that have and can be the source of modern-day stories.  

Today, we're discussing the importance of the seed of a story, recognising the culture it comes from, and why it's important as creators to hold this curiosity over the seeds of fiction and how it can help us grow as a writers.

If we stick to consuming art we’re familiar with, we’ll never know what could be and grow as creators. 

As consumers, it is totally fine to find what you love and stick with it, but as creators we have to be willing to dip our toes into other waters. It’s the only way to develop into a well-rounded creator, and help change the narratives that each of our cultures loves to adopt and portray in fictional spaces.

Articulation or vocabulary, which is more important?

Today, we discuss the requirement of a writer's vocabulary to tell a good story and addressing the growing trend that seems to be focusing on how articulation has a play in how we appear and show up to the world. 

Note - This is not focused on expecting any person or writer to have some level of upper class pr*ck worth of vocabulary to be considered a good writer.
Quite the opposite in fact.

It's been a tough week, but within that difficulty, I've found a new way to connect to my writing, which I haven't much explored before. And somehow, in that new and unexplored connection it's become a saving grace.

Today we're focusing on the portrayal of female characters in fiction and how there is a trend in how we write and portray women in stories, and how that portrayal is really f*cking unhealthy and hasn't changed enough. 

This episode was inspired by a particular TV show that was recently released and which I've previously spoken about on another episode in Season 3, Unlikeable Characters.

It's a new day and a new session of writing came a long, and this time the writing session left me chopping off the ending of my current manuscript and working on a new outline, because hey, like our lives, our characters’ lives have so many different paths they can take. 

The problem is, after playing around with so many outlines of one’s story, one can begin to wonder, 'Well, which outline is the best outline for the story?' 

Today's discussion will help you navigate changes in story outlines and one key element to pay attention to to help you figure out whether the changes you're making are for the better.

Every writer’s secret power is their gut.

Our gut feeling (or intuition) can help us so much while developing our creative projects, because usually the gut will tell us something is wrong before our mind realises there is a problem.

The issue?

Having a quiet enough mind and enough faith in yourself to listen.

Writing has evolved over time, but lately, it doesn't seem like it's for the better. Whether it be books, TV shows or movies, we're all seeing a decline in quality in scripts and productions and fumbling marketing moves that make no sense.

This means that it is getting genuinely harder and harder to find pieces of fiction to enjoy and get attached to.

It doesn't help that unlikeable characters are running rampant in a lot of stories. We need these unlikeable characters - they help make our stories more interesting - but there is a way to do it right and keep the story engaging. Unfortunately, recently, I came across a TV show that ruined a beautiful premise it had created in an earlier season, simply because the writers forgot the most basic rules of writing when it comes to writing unlikeable characters.
