anghraineIn response to this post, incognitajones asked:
which one do you watch? I’m always looking for a good writing youtuber (haven’t found one I like yet)
I replied:
I watch Tim Hickson/HelloFutureMe! His channel is a mix of analysis (some of which I profoundly disagree with, but by and large that’s fine), criticism, and writing advice (mostly from a SF/F angle). It’s definitely … hmmm, evolved over time, but I enjoy it and it usually makes me want to write more rather than less, which is my main metric of success :)

Oh no… Oh wow
I replied:
Yeahhhhh. Even when they’re not super negative, they’re super authoritative in a way that I find really grating (all the more because there’s often some tacked-on “but follow your vision!!” at the end).
