That's quite interesting, I thought it took Google days to index stuff, but this is in hours.

When I heard the Mark Felton theme I knew we were going to get a meticulously researched fact about WW2 😂

I guess your idea of ‘meticulous’ is different than mine.

Great advice! Get that first draft out, let it be terrible, and then shape it into something great.

No, shape it into something better. And then repeat.

I don't really know much about him, has he written about this?

What a WONDERFUL find. I've watched three episodes-I'm grinning like a 5 yo in the ice cream shoppe. I spell shoppe as I imagine the oxfordians would. I'm presently addicted to Endeavor on PBS and now I'll look for you on the streets of Oxford in the 60's! thanks so much and I downloaded the course. While I know writing is re-writing and "don't get it right get it written" you have resurrected my determination to write badly without theme or the misbelief and just write!!

Thank you, Malcolm! And you're absolutely right.

Hey Oxford writer😊 I really enjoy watching your videos, as your tone is so peculiar, perfect with my morning coffee in my Parisian courtyard (not mine only though)! Personally, I make the whole thing up in my mind and write only when I can see the whole movie. I'ld be very interested in seeing a topic on the differences between novel and screenwriting, would that be possible ? Gratefully, Katia

Hi Katia, thanks for some great feedback! I will have a think about your suggestion, it's an interesting suggestion. Although Chekhov's Time Machine is next in line :)

I've no idea how this ended up in my feed, but I liked it. So I liked it.

It’s ironic that people fear the blank page when I live in fear of someone noticing my novel is 130,000 words and 50,000 of them have to be cut 😱

Fabulous. Thank you

Thank you for the positive feedback, I really appreciate it

This idea is actually also called the MVP or minimum viable product. It’s a well eastablished development concept. Also, of course, is the japanese Kaizen concept, of continuous product & service improvement. Stalin often spoke about MVP and Kaizen with his generals and admirals, bearing in mind the disasterous russian attack on Japan in 1905. No, he didn’t but he should have done.

Useful, funny, creative, Oxford Writer!

Drowning by knowledge never felt so good.

Hey thanks for those kind words! Failed nation, ha ha, I know what you mean, there's a lot of it about right now, not just Canada.

Huh, I always felt that the Soviet pic felt like their version of the US's picture, but never looked into it lol

Yes, it's quite interesting that they are both staged

Thank you, a lovely video. They say that journalism is the first draft of history... is that why so much journalism is rubbish? (BTW I like to rewrite Eric Blair's name as Jaw-Jaw Well...)

Thank you! I think you might have a point about journalism...

Oddly enough this is just how I am working the process, it will be messy and quite likely terrible, but it will be something to work with.

That's right, it is so much easier to improve on something once you get it written down
