Do you know the reason why your video has so few views

Dear❤

Nice Video❤

Helped a lot for my yr 11 assessment, thanks :)

Terrific insights Ted. Thank you!

I saw this video on Twitter and followed it over. Interesting stuff! I hope that we're getting looser on genre, too; I've never really let it inhibit what I write, but I've also noticed especially in the commercial field of publishing and promotion genre plays a tremendous role. Thanks for posting this, and I hope your reading goes well tomorrow!

I wonder how niche is experimental literature? Or, is it a thing that is just treated that way.

This was very helpful for my final exam, thank you for sharing!

Love it! Cheers from Brazil

Well done! Great to hear someone talking about Gass! And I had no idea he started The Tunnel so early. Really looking forward to hearing you talk about Omensetter's Luck and The Tunnel. Both absolutely magnificent works! Cheers.

Man I never thought anyone would notice the author photo ... but I totally get what you mean. ^.^

Following up, Professor Morrissey. I admit to avoiding videos - I'll do better! I had read about Hemingway's trick previously - I tried it, but end up more often doing what you do - leaving myself notes for the next step. I have established a writing routine of daily 20-30 minute sessions, but they are stolen wherever I can get them. I always have my commonplace journal with me - or a computer. It helps me remember that writing IS a thing in my life - and more ideas seem to be flowing this way, too!

Writing regularly is honored advice for every writer. I'm not sure I could write for only ten minutes at a time, or if it would make any sense if I tried!

CZcams knows me too well, they know that when I search for a video at 2 am I want something that will put me straight to sleep. Thank you for the lecture professor Morrissey!

I like the advice from Beth Warden, If you have an idea, write an essay; if you have a message, write a short story." The thesis statement in a creative piece could happen anytime, couldn't it? I would think that if you have a story in mind and the story has a Freitag storyline, wouldn't it have a basic message to convey, but maybe it would change sometime through the writing because rarely will a piece stick to the plan as the writer works through the project to its end. I think Brady was hitting on it.

I would have to agree with you, @simmonslcsw, about some distance between an author's political views and their writing. Heidegger comes to mind. He supported the Nazis, but his writings have changed the world of philosophy of the 21st century. I know people who, to this day, raise their noses now after finding out more about Heidegger. Presenting oneself is a dangerous game in this day and age as well. People with opinions on social media can "find"" you and then stalk you both online and in real life. On the other, as an author, you have to promote your work and want to get your work out there, and one way to do that is to have a presence on all the platforms and be everywhere. This needle that needs to be threaded is something that people make entire careers figuring out and get paid large sums of money to make happen.

21:57 I appreciate you sharing your experience and process of how you draft with us. I also needed to hear your thoughts on how not to compare my work with that of the finished work of people who have spent months or years working on their’s. I am going to have to extend that to others students as well. I will be “stretching” my comfort zones and writing in genres I have never written before.

Amazing!

I enjoyed this quite a bit. Is this podcast available via podcast software outside of CZcams? Like Google Podcasts? One thought I had regarding author presence on social media is I prefer some distance from an author as a reader. An author's reactions to issues of the moment via Twitter can get in the way of my ability to have all sorts of fun transference. You don't want to know all your therapist's political opinions and/or see them get into social media spats. I feel similarly about authors.

Hard to take u seriously when u can’t pronounce Nabokov, Anna Karenina or Ivan Ilyich properly… and I don’t mean their Russian pronunciations… u can’t even say them properly in English.

Awesome. Great story, Laura!!

interesting. thank you ted :)

Oh my goodness! I just realized I called my favorite Shakespeare scholar, Emma Smith, Emma Watson. Emma Watson is a wonderful actress, and she may know a lot about Shakespeare -- but I meant to say Emma Smith. Apologies to both Emmas.

I really liked your video. Nabokov also said that it was the best short story ever written, do you agree?

is there a follow up to this video i am unable to find it on your channel

Here's a related video. In it I tell the tale of author Herman Melville and his writing of "Moby Dick": czcams.com/video/KnvM50WP3uA/video.html

It was really nice and fantastic. I learnt many things. Thanks for your captivating explanation.

thanks so much for this! I am doing revisionism for my poetry module so this is lovely !!

I allude to a debate on moral fiction between John Gardner and William H. Gass, and I say that I'll post a link to an audio recording of their debate. Here it is: drc.libraries.uc.edu/handle/2374.UC/697052

Very nice

You can hear my interview about The Artist Spoke on the 42 Minutes podcast: syncbook.syncbookradio.netdna-cdn.com/mediasfree/42Minutes353B.mp3 -- also, the online preface for the novel is available here: tedmorrissey.blog/2020/10/27/preface-to-the-artist-spoke/ .

1. How could you mention the Mary Reilly film without mentioning Julia Roberts, who played the title character?! (I say that with both laughter and defensiveness, as I'm a little bit of a fan of her brother's.) 2. Testament of Mary was released in 2014, according to Amazon. (But it must have been a year earlier, as I mentioned it in the introduction to a book I released in 2013.)
