Learning to write through journaling
I started journaling because I wanted to improve my thinking and have some place to store my thoughts. With time, though, journaling became the daily writing exercise that helped me improve the way I tell stories. If you can make up a tale about a mundane day where you went to the coffee shop, you can make a tale about anything.

How I Write: A Writing Vlog
zhlédnutí 307Před měsícem
This weekend I was working on my next programming book and decided to record a writing vlog. Here's what I do and think about on a regular writing day. I focus on keeping the pen moving to avoid writer's block and sit down with an idea in my mind that I want to put into words today.

How to start a story?
zhlédnutí 197Před 2 měsíci
When I'm writing a story I never start from the beginning. I usually have an idea for a character or a scene or even an ending. Then I write the story chaotically and leave the beginning for last. The first sentence my readers go through are the most important because if they don't grab your interest or show you what the story will hold you will never reach the great moments I had in my mind wr...
Why do we tell stories?
zhlédnutí 97Před 2 měsíci
Working on a short story got me thinking why we tell each other stories in the first place. And I think I got an answer, but I'll have to tell you a story first.

Reading the first story I ever wrote
zhlédnutí 69Před 3 měsíci
The first short story I ever wrote was an ambitious one - an anti-war story. In this video I'm reading a few pages from it and talking about what was going on in my head as I was writing this.

How I find inspiration
zhlédnutí 202Před 3 měsíci
If you want to hear me ramble more about writing, there's a subscribe button right above this box. Inspiration feels great but if I rely on it I'd be writing every couple of weeks or so. This means it could take me up to a decade to write a book. But I wrote 3 in the last 4 years. Here's how. Here's my instagram - kondovwrites My blog - alexkondov.com And my short story collection...
How programming made me a better writer
zhlédnutí 298Před 4 měsíci
If you want to hear me ramble more about writing, there's a subscribe button right above this box. I started writing my first novel when I was 9. It turned out it was a lot harder than I thought. 20 years later, and 3 published books, my biggest writing inspiration has been programming.

Good for you!
- Write regularly - The more you write, the better you become - Inspiration never comes out of blue, it comes when you work on something and take a break - If you wait for an insiparion it will take you decades to publish a book - Watch high-quality content and surround yourself with greater people
Hey Bro! Good one. Been missing hearing your voice through the headphones. Listened to you while I was doing the dishes after dinner. I like how you finished with the thought about improving our baseline for creating. It also made me think that sometimes I kind of know this kind of stuff in my gut, but it could be difficult to formulate it with words so that I can remind myself about it and make it a habit. So thanks for the video.
Thank you for the kind words, buddy! :) We need to catch up!
Alex! So happy I get to follow your content on another platform. Always inspired by your work. Keep going!
Thanks a lot, man. I'll be posting a lot about writing on here :)
Awesome video, Alex! Really insightful and interesting! Looking forward to the next one!
Surround yourself with Inspiring People and Good Books 👍
That's the formula for guaranteed inspiration.
Amazing!
Who is John Galt? I think we have a huge new topic to help us catch up :) Great video, bro! I will check the short stories as well.
Awesome 👍
Awesome video. Can you post a link of something you’ve written recently?
Haha, I knew I was forgetting something. This is my short story collection: brokenstatuesbook.com
