    I love how it's completely normal for us writers to be hella creepy when finding inspiration lol

    • @ace-iw8jm
      @ace-iw8jm Před 5 lety +1

      So true. Artists are the same. You can just be staring at someone and then pretend to be drawing.

    • @Idk-ud1pf
      @Idk-ud1pf Před 5 lety

      Angie Ena YES YES YES I DO THE SAME. What’s funny is that I relate to both as a writer and an artist. 🎨📝❤️

    Or walking into a library or book store and choosing a random book, looking in the back to the last page and say there's 431 pages, ask someone a random number between 1-431, go to that number and pick a random line and use that.

    Yay! I actually enjoyed this one even more than the first, as I think these tips are interesting and not really ones I've heard of. Thanks for giving us all ideas!

  • @petergulgowski
    @petergulgowski Před 6 lety +2

    Kristen, I just wanted to stop by and say that you inspired me to start a YT channel myself to go through my own journey and what I've learned! Also, thanks for the inspiration over the last few months in my own writing! :)

    I came across your channel a couple weeks ago and I love it!!!!! So much information to lead in me in the right direction for getting my book published. I plan to write children's books (I have a six year old) and science fiction. Your channel is very motivating!

  • @tijondembo6687
    @tijondembo6687 Před 6 lety +1

    U should make a video on how to create conflict or the main problem in your book

  • @BedtimeBookworm
    @BedtimeBookworm Před 6 lety

    Love this video! I love the idea of writing but I've never really been struck with any ideas. I'm always looking for advice on this. I really like the prompt tip, I'll definitely be using that one to practice writing without the stress of coming up with an idea from scratch.

    @azureocean8571 Před 6 lety +2

    Could you make a video how to write horror/scary scenes etc.?
    This video was very useful reminder that the inspiration lies right in front of us most of the time, we just don't see it. ˆˆ thank you.

  • @grekoy
    @grekoy Před 6 lety

    Can you do a video that focus on epiphany or an example of one please?

  • @how_tragic
    @how_tragic Před 6 lety

    Funny. As I was watching the video an idea hit me. And I struggle to think of ideas, like REALLY struggle. It was not a 'this is what the story will be about' idea, but just a scene. A scene that could be developed into a minor plot, which could The be developed into a story and then into a Novel.
    The idea actually came to me when I read a comment that said 'Just pre-ordered shadow crown'. It might have been the word *Shadow* , but, I don't know.

  • @ace-iw8jm
    @ace-iw8jm Před 5 lety +1

    Me at some scene of the video: Maybe I should use the idea of a Phineas and Ferb episode. I liked that episode.
    Also me: **goes to watch Phineas and Ferb**
    Also also me: I’m a tween and read young adult books. Why am I like this?
    Edit: PHINEAS AND FERB ISN’T ON NETFLIX ANYMORE!!

    Hi! Will shadow crown be available on ebook like kindle

    • @AuthorKristenMartin
      @AuthorKristenMartin  Před 6 lety +1

      Hi! Yes, SHADOW CROWN will be available through Kindle as an ebook :)

  • @MG-vx4rk
    @MG-vx4rk Před 6 lety

    I realize your tip of opening another author's book and a line to expand upon is only to get the creative juices flowing. However couldn't that be copywrite enfrengement? I know when I publish a book one day if someone used one of my books for that and publishes it with the line being exactly the same as my book or too similar I would be very angry.

    • @AuthorKristenMartin
      @AuthorKristenMartin  Před 6 lety

      That's why I said you can always change it later.

    • @MG-vx4rk
      @MG-vx4rk Před 6 lety

      Oh ok. That makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

    Sorry for this, but the frazzled backpacker thing: he probably blinded himself by accidentally spraying deodorant in his eyes because he left his packing to the negative 15 minutes.
