Over on her YouTube channel, Jill Bearup has been doing a series of posts that have had me in stitches. During this serialization of both a novel and her interactions with her main character while writing it, she points out almost exactly how things go when you’re trying to put a story together. I especially love how the character eventually goes off the rails in relation to how the author wants things to go.

If you’re a writer, this may give you a case of the giggles. If you’re a reader, it’ll give you a good story to follow and some insight as to what writers go through.

Her entire channel is a great resource for armor and medieval combat for the stage. I’m working my way through so that my own writing gets better.

Enjoy!
