5 YouTube Channels All Writers Should Subscribe To

As writers, we can never have enough resources to help inform and guide our writing. Here are 5 YouTube writing channels that have helped me on my writing journey. I hope that you'll be able to find some useful information from them, too.

Writing With Jenna Moreci

Jenna Moreci is a published author of fantasy and science fiction novels who posts weekly videos with writing advice. Her videos cover writing advice as well as tropes from different genres, as well as practical tutorials for writers - like budget and marketing tips, tradition versus self publishing, and how to write when struggling with a mental illness.

Terrible Writing Advice

This one is definitely one of my favorite ones on this list. The channel is run by -- and author who creates "terrible advice" videos for writers, each video centered on a different trope or genre. By doing this, the videos are humorous as they describe what the writer "should" do as the worst, most overplayed versions of the trope and genre, and what a writer "shouldn't" do as a more authentic, fresher way to write the trope or genre.

Overly Sarcastic Productions

This channel i run by two people- whose online personas are named "Blue" and "Red", and their videos focus on summarizing literature, mythology, and history, which serves as great inspiration, especially for writers of speculative fiction. They also do trope videos, discussing different examples of the tropes in literature and movies- they

Just Write

This channel features video essays about movies, TV, and literature - analyzing stories and discussing what writers can learn from them

Hello Future Me

Like some of the other channels on this list, this channel helps writers with different aspects of their writing- like world building and character development- by analyzing stories that may be familiar to the reader. Tim Hickson, the owner of the channel is also a published author.

As a writer, there are so many resources available to you- YouTube is only one of many. Hopefully, these channels will provide

some useful information that will help you to improve your stories.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
