Thank you so much for watching the show and sharing what you learned!
I took a break from CZcams to write. Upon return, this was in my feed. Neat.🙂
I'm extremely happy you found this episode. Dale's mentorship is top-notch! What are you writing? How's it going?
@@TriumphTalks I suppose it's a memoir. It'll need to be fiction. To protect the guilty. 😁 Thanks so much.
@@TriumphTalks perhaps soon I can send you my first page. 🤞 Thanks for inspiring me 💯
@@baddfaith absolutely, send it! And that’s so funny… Fiction to protect the guilty 😂

Wow. What a great interview. Works perfectly as audio only in the background while working.
Thank you for watching.... or, listening! I'm glad you benefited from Dale's knowledge. I will have more like this coming soon ;))
Very helpful and insightful video! Thank you.
Thank you for watching! Dale is a great teacher. He is truly an expert in writing and shows while he's telling :) I'm so grateful he came on the show!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful.
That's funny. I have yelled at it out loud saying "no, you're wrong, i'm right, stop telling me I'm wrong."
Are you punking us with the misspelling of "mediocre" at 4:24 ? If anyone needs an editor, please reach out.
@@Vic-Meow too many hats, too many hours, just learning video editing and just one person trying to help others, no pay…. Things slip through. Facepalm. I’ll get better! Thanks for helping.
Even the suitcase is smiling.
That's such a great visual! It would be an intriguing first line.
Show what is interesting--tell the rest.
I love that comment.... a simple and accurate way to address the "show/tell" concept that people so often struggle to define. Great contribution!
The constant video transitions is freaking annoying.
Hi thanks for your comment! I completely understand. People who jump in and out (near-far-near-far) in quick edits, have redundant music going in the background throughout a long video or sound effects with every movement drive me crazy! It's much easier not to edit with so much transitions (it's super time consuming), so I will take your comment and use it to guide how I film/edit in the future. I do like to have the guests full screen, so there will be transitions, but I can back off on how many. I'm in the learning process and there's been a lot of push towards "retention editing" but now I think it's going the other way, which is fine with me! :))
