I find most advice given by authors to be too broad and general to serve any practical purpose. Is there any text or video out there where we get to see a writer create or critique/edit something line-by-line instead, so we can gain from seeing their thought process when it comes to the details and finer decision-making of writing?
>>23979058It's not quite line-by-line granular but otherwise I think A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, wherein George Saunders breaks down Russian short stories from a writer's perspective, is what you're looking for.

>>23979405A generic art hoe nigga open hinge and sort by "Figuring out my relationship type"
>>23979433Kek. Yeah, these girls are horrendous to deal with. I just spent two years with one.
>>23979058the thing is books come in a variety of genres and styles. Someone writing a young adult novel and someone writing historical fiction are after two completely different audiences and hoping to accomplish completely different things with their stories. So coming up with advice that would be useful to both of them is going to be vague.
>>23979058I've been published a ton of times, and I was considering creating a YouTube series doing something like this for poets and literary fiction writers.
>>23979436>horrendous>spent two years even if by mistake on your side, it can't be all but for naughtso how good was it?i find that a better question than how bad it was (which is obvious)
Why am I aroused by this picture?
>>23980313must have a shit fetish, in other words a faggot
>>23980244Not the same Anon, but I also spent a considerable amount of time with a woman like this. In the good moments which made up the majority of our time together, things were great. We were very good friends and enjoyed doing many things together. Cooking, walking, playing board games or just talking. The sex was the best I'd ever had, intense, frequent, and passionate. But it became more and more common for her to have drastic mood shifts and become convinced that I didn't care about her, and over time I couldn't deal with the insecurity and emotional see-sawing every few days. Sorry for the blog post, just thought I'd answer the question.
Writing these days is easy. Just bang out a couple rough paragraphs. Copy/paste into ChatGPT with the prompt "Rewrite this in the style of Cormac McCarthy: <paste here>".
