Controversial Writing Advice | Last Exit To Brooklyn
Hello Everyone! Welcome back to my YouTube channel. Today I am going to share some very controversial writing advice in this writing workshop. Take it or leave it. This is my personal belief, and this is the belief that helps me with writing prose. It is not correct. Or incorrect. It is my belief.
In this video I talk about how to effectively write on the street. Street Writing. I deconstruct Hubert Selby Jr's prose style. And I give some writing tips and tricks to keep that flame burning inside of you that wants to write.
I want to say, it does not matter where you are from, what your wealth is, what religion you follow, you can be an epic writer! We are all born equal. As humans. I truly believe that. You just need to be strong! And write what you believe in. And don't let authors offensive beliefs dissuade you from your path to amazingness. Some authors are not good people, but be bold and ignore that. If they are legendary in the craft, still read their work, take what you can, and use the skills you learned for the greater good. Write to move society into a better world. Give meaning to literature. Write for humanity. Don't let the darkness of this world dissuade you from believing in yourself xx
You're awesome!
