hello, and welcome back to my somewhat incorrectly-titled video on common writing mistakes i often notice in the work of newer writers. but also in the work of established and experienced writers as well! (nobody's perfect)

✨ timestamps:
0:00 - title card
0:12 - intro
1:41 - pacing issues
3:44 - overdeveloped but uninteresting characters
5:48 - boring romance subplot
7:37 - character arcs fall flat
8:46 - the story lacks thematic cohesion
10:16 - repetitive prose
12:55 - nothing is original
14:39 - outro :)

as always, prescriptivist writing advice is silly—these are just my personal thoughts, and you can take them or leave them as you like. :)

thank you so much for watching! if you have the means, please feel free to drop a "tip" in my kofi - link below. :)
