Repost of HW #2

I accidentally posted this in the wrong community.

I was only able to get through all of Thomas’ videos. I paused a lot to take notes because I like getting everything I can out of the lessons. Step 3 doesn’t apply to me because I am not published yet.

Do any of you have thoughts on how to speed up to get through videos for the course?

Homework For Thomas’ Talk

Step 1 - Look in the Mirror

What are your strengths?

• My strengths are world building, not using -ly/passive voice.  When I start something, I am determined to finish it.

What are you the best in your world at?

• When I read in my Writer’s Group, those listening love my world building and comment on how much I have improved in writing.

Why do readers pick other authors over you?

• I am not published, but I have learned from my Editors/Coaches recently, my story structure, transitions, character arcs had been lacking.

Why do people read other similar stories rather than your story?

• I don’t have a book circulation, so I don’t know the answer.

What do you do that exhausts you?

• I have had times of frustration when I haven’t understood an aspect of writing and this comes across when someone has read the text.
