Whoa, has it been a year already? 🤯
well, let me thank you for a few things...
Thank you for having welcomed me in this space.
Thank you for having taken the time to say hello.
For considering my work.
& for giving my method a go.
And thank you so very much for all the heartfelt comments and emails you sent my way every day.
Things have been pretty busy with the Dual Storyline challenge starting tomorrow, but there are more videos coming your way :)
Oh, and remember:
You don't have to write to fill word counts.
You don't have to chase daily streaks.
Build your story with intention.
Because your work matters.
Talk soon,
Julian

It happened 9 minutes before the Turning Point... 😱
Writers around the world had 9 minutes left to commit to their novels, but then...
Blackout.
The cloud went down and, with it, so did the Early Bird sign-up page for the Dual Storyline Challenge 😅
Good news is: Everything's back to normal now.
For anyone who was ready to join the challenge but got cut off: I've extended the Early Bird sign-ups for one more full day!

Guess what concept is doing a major comeback this weekend?

Most writing advice will tell you "one scene must cause the next." 😶
But stringing scenes together randomly won't save a weak story...
If anything, you'll make revision harder than it needs to be.
What actually matters is the type of scene doing the causing (and the deliberate order they unfold in).
So I made a little video to show you the 6 scene types that create proper Sequences (not just chains of events).
Once you see how they work, it'll save you so much time during revision - you're welcome 🙃
P.S.: I'm organising a challenge this November where you'll master the Dual Storyline... the only structure that protects the soul of your story while you build it. Sign up here → club.julianmaylett.com/dual-storyline-challenge/

What if I structured YOUR story idea? 🤔
This idea popped up in Discord today!
You'd submit story ideas, backstories, or plot points. Then I'd show you how I'd build them into full stories using the Story Pillars Method (from Internal Conflict to Dual Storyline and through all 5 parts of the framework).
Would it be a series you'd like to watch and learn from? Let me know in the comments!
And if you’d like to actually submit ideas and vote on which ones I tackle, that’ll all happen inside my Discord community.
You can join here: club.julianmaylett.com/membership/
Talk soon,

Thank you to everyone who hyped the new video!
I honestly had no idea this feature even existed until today 🤣 It looks like it’s only available on mobile, which is probably why I’d never seen it before.
If you’re watching on the YouTube app, you should see a little “✨Hype” option under the video, and it really helps push the video out to more writers.
Anyway, as always, I'm beyond grateful for your support.
You're truly amazing - have a great weekend!
