1. Establish your writing space. 2. Assemble your writing tools. 3. Break the project into small pieces. 4. Settle on your big idea. 5. Construct your outline. 6. Set a firm writing schedule. (Firm Deadline) 7. Conduct your research. 8. Write a compelling, reader-first, opener. 9. Fill your story with conflict and tension. 10. Turn off your internal editor. (While writing) 11. Don't quit during the Marathon of the Middle. 12. Write a resounding ending. 13. Become a ferocious (aggressive) self-editor. Edit: I highly recommend watching the video too for a better explanation, this is just an overview of the content.
I have decided it's time to attempt to write a novel about my life . I was a heroin addict for 12 years bringing up my son, today I have been clean 18 years but I feel now is the time to inspire other addicts to getting the strength they might need to get clean. Wish me luck :) Thanks for the video.
I love how he talks like he actually cares about you writing your book. I feel like I don't want to disappoint him 😂😅 I will write my book for you Sir

I didn't have to read any of his books to know that he is a real deal of a writer. Every word in this video is very beautifully put together. Very smooth yet very impactful in every point he is trying to make. Thank you.
To whoever needs it: stop watching videos about writing and write, you've got this
He's like the Bob ross of writing
His voice is so soothing. It’s like he’s really calm about it all because he trusts you.
I am 74 years old and have never written a book. I am debating between writing a screen play or book. It is a compelling story about a friend of mine who was disabled and ended up being one of the most talented musician, singer and song writer I have ever known. I just hope I can due him justice so other people can know his story. You have filled in many pieces for me so that Ii think I can at least start. Thank you.
I wrote 119 books in the last 40 years: no one : My brain : That's three books a year!
"I dont promise you a best seller." Thumb's up for your genuineness sire.
This is like having a masterclass on youtube for free
I am a ten year old. I love reading and writing books. This is my time to shine. I have this competition to write a book and I will be competing against people from 17 other countries. You have helped me complete my book, The awesome adventure of Mom-o-tron. Now all that’s left is winning. Thank you Mr.Jenkins ❤ Anvi
"I wouldn't show this first draft to my worst enemy" 😂 mood every time
15:55 If you have several ideas, pick the one that is the most emotional because readers remember what moves them. Excellent advice.
I have a favorite bit of advice given to me by my grandmother, “Don’t write it right, just write it down.” Easier said than done at times! Thanks for the list of tips!
I'm 18 years old and have been developing a story in my mind for the past 2 years, but I never really knew how to start writing it. Thank you so much for sharing these tips they’ve really helped me feel more confident about getting started. I truly appreciate your guidance.
