[ Add Placeholder Text ] - Invidious

[ Add Placeholder Text ]

We are Steve and Nathan Dwire, a father/son duo at the beginning of our book-writing journey. Our channel name "Add Placeholder Text" honors the "unknowns" in the early stages of writing a book. While we have many ideas, we are also aware of major gaps in our story and our characters. Names, traits, and even plot points are often placeholders that may look very different in the finished product.

We also hope that our skills as writers will follow a similar path. Like our story ideas, our writing skills start out raw and tentative, filled with "placeholder" ideas that we will fill in as we learn.

Join us on this journey and share your thoughts with us as we turn our placeholders into a skillful story worthy of a New York Times bestseller!
