The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

In other news, I fell into writers YouTube and it's extremely ... something.

Lots of millennial women in blindingly white backgrounds with cut flowers and "live, laugh, love" decor on the walls, talking earnestly about being a full-time writer. Looking at their Amazon sales, though, it looks like they're pulling in only about $100/month at most from book sales, which doesn't match up with their rhetoric. They're enthusiastic and successful hobbyists, not full-time writers. (For one thing, most full-time writers don't look like they're living in a Nora Ephron film.)

A lot of the actual writing advice ranges from fine to actually good, but the disconnect between the rhetoric and what's actually happening is weird.

Yet another odd subculture I had no idea existed until I put in the right search terms into YouTube.
Check out Overly Sarcastic Productions (specifically Red's Trope Talks) and Hello Future Me if you haven't yet. They're more focused on story/writing analysis and "how to use specific storybeats well" than "here's how to become a professional writer", but I've found them to be super useful as an aspiring writer.

I miss Hakuho. I loved his mawashi and tachiai. He was the greatest yokozuna of all time. He had the best oshidashi in the business.
 






Time for more unused meme dump.
