Is bad writing just bad prose? It is poor storytelling? Is it reductive, repetitive or uninspired? Can an author make up for bad writing with great characters or a lush world? LET'S FIND OUT!
0:00 The survey & a couple disclaimers!
1:01 What is BAD WRITING?
1:55 What's more important: character development, prose, plot, or world-building?
4:00 Can you enjoy a story even if you think the writing is bad?
5:13 If the writing is "bad," what can make up for it??
6:20 Have you ever DNF'd a book for bad writing?
6:54 How often do you DNF books?
7:12 Have you ever "hate read" a story?
8:33 How would you currently rate your own writing on a scale from 1 to 10?
10:34 Would you rather be forced to finish a poorly written book, TV show, or movie?
11:28 Have you ever purposely read a book with bad writing in order to analyze and learn from it, as a sort of "what not to do" for your own writing??
12:33 Questions for youuuuuu (can be found in the description below)! :)
D I S C U S S I O N Q U E S T I O N S :
If you rated your writing as a 7 or higher, when did you reach that place? Was it recently? After conquering a particular draft? After dabbling across a bunch of different genres or trying a lot of different styles? Let me know!
Have you ever thrown a book across the room like I have?? (It was only one and I STAND BY IT.)
Is there a question about bad writing that you think I missed? (I'll try to include it during the livestream!)
Do you have any concrete, actionable ways you're working to get better at writing? What are they? Would you recommend them?
