Insane how I commented on middles just yesterday and IMMEDIATELY got half of everything I was looking for!!!


Super thankful for your stuff Greco!!!! Always quality

I swear every video you make has infinite rewatch value. ❤ There's so much good stuff I want to remember but my walnut brain can only absorb so much (and actually remember it when writing lol)

How friggin perfectly timed this is!!!! Ive been struggling with my middle but youve given me so much knowledge for approaching it. THank you so much!

This is amazing!! I'm trying to plan out the story for my graphic novel and was so stuck on the middle. I knew where it started and where it ended, and now I have direction for the in-between. Thank you!

really enjoy your essays(?) on writing. Your explanations are more applicable for where I'm at in my writing journey(first timer)

Aight finally watched it and yes it was a banger.

from opening and inciting incidents, to this the middle, i'm praying a video on landing an ending/resolution would be next too 😍🙏🙏🙏

Good video! My takeaway is that the middle of a story should focus on developing thematic ideas, build tension, and challenge the worldview in ways that draw on how the reader feels.

The idea of development is driven by smaller conflicts that pile on each other. Every arc should create some kind of twist/irony within the narrative. Characters NEED to bounce off something. These clashes of belief add narrative weight because they lead toward meaningful payoffs & callbacks.

I think the main lesson is about pushing characters closer to the edge, giving them false confidence, and revealing cracks. You gotta show what makes the story tick.

super helpful tyyyy <3

Truly excellent and helpful video! I'll have to watch it about 10 more times ;)

Dropping a comment to boost the algo, sleeoy as hell rn so gonna watch it later, bet it's peak tho🤸‍♀️

This seems to relate to Sanderson’s promises model. The middle is where you set the reader up to get the airplane rather than the car. I wonder if that always follows, should you always have some plot promise where you need to deliver something different in the ending? Excellent video, as always. Is anyone compiling these slides into a handy reference?

Have you seen the K-Drama “The King of Pigs”? It’s a revenge drama that stuck with me for so many years now, but it is quite explicit and gruesome. I could not sleep all night when I finished watching.

Holy moly the universe heard my prayers, this is just what i needed to finish my story and start with my comics script! May all the gods bless you, this is perfectly explained, thank you!!! 🥹🥹
