For the full video experience, please watch on YouTube > https://www.youtube.com/@fixingbadwritingIn this episode of The Fantasy Writers' Toolshed, Richie Billing takes on a terrible enemies-to-lovers romantasy story and tries to fix it in real time. Expect bad fantasy romance, stolen magic swords, awkward romantic tension, a suspiciously convenient dragon and a practical look at how to make popular tropes work on the page.This is Episode 2 of Fixing Bad Writing, a writing craft series where Richie deconstructs a weak story draft, explains why it fails, edits it live, then presents a stronger redraft. This time, he steps outside his dark fantasy comfort zone to tackle one of the biggest tropes in romantasy: enemies to lovers.Romantasy might look simple from the outside. Put two attractive enemies in danger, add forced proximity, give them sharp dialogue and surely the chemistry will take care of itself. But good fantasy romance needs more than insults, cheekbones and “kissing probably happening soon”. It needs genuine conflict, believable character motivation, emotional friction and a reason for attraction to grow.Using a deliberately awful AI-generated romantasy draft, Richie breaks down common problems such as rushed attraction, shallow conflict, cliché dialogue, weak worldbuilding and the dreaded trap of insta-love. He then works through the scene as a creative writing exercise, showing how small editing choices can create stronger romantic tension, clearer character dynamics and a more engaging fantasy story.In this episode, you'll learn how to:Build enemies-to-lovers tension that feels earnedAvoid insta-love and rushed romantic attractionCreate better conflict between romantic leadsUse dialogue to reveal character, not just flirtationMake romantasy tropes feel more believableTurn a weak scene into a stronger redraftKeep the fun of a trope while improving the craftThis episode is ideal for romantasy writers, fantasy authors, romance writers, beginner storytellers and anyone looking for practical writing exercises to improve their fiction.Can you write a better “meet-ugly” than the original draft? Listen to the episode, take the romantasy writing challenge and try your own version.

For the full video experience, please watch on YouTube > https://www.youtube.com/@fixingbadwritingWelcome to Fixing Bad Writing, a new series within The Fantasy Writers' Toolshed podcast, where I take a rubbish story generated by AI and try to make it good, or at least less crappy.In Episode 1, I tackle the "High Fantasy" genre.Walk through the story's analysis with me, watch as I edit, before seeing whether or not I can save this terrible story.If you're looking for a creative writing challenge or a unique writing exercise, you're in the right place. This series acts as a writing guide for anyone trying to spot common mistakes and improve their craft.Whether you are looking for writing exercises for beginners or more advanced story writing exercises, hopefully, this live rewrite will teach you new skills!

Is modern Sci-Fi "rage-baiting" its own fans? This week, Mark Kidder goes on a legendary tear against Starfleet Academy, breaking down everything from planet-sized plot holes to the "moronic" behavior of the newest cadets. From inconsistent transporters to the dramatic, unnecessary warp-sequence strobe lights, we're asking the tough question: Has Trek lost its way by pandering to short attention spans? The crew also dives into the Scrubs revival (and whether it can redeem the "Season 9" disaster), the physical accuracy of Alan Ritchson vs. Tom Cruise in Reacher, and why modern Netflix movies feel the need to repeat their plots five times just in case you're looking at your phone.

Click to Subscribe:  https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Young and the Restless finds Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) has been painted as a villain by the writers despite behaving more ethically than many other CEOs in Genoa City. The lawsuit pursued by Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) and Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom) against Chancellor Winters has been a major point of contention.  Despite the criticism, Lily stands firm in her belief that she owns Omega Spear, a game she financed and developed, and that Daniel betrayed her on the CBS soap opera. The intellectual property law is on her side as development deals don't usually allow creators to retain ownership. Devon Hamilton (Bryton James), Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson), and Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) have all criticized Lily for her actions, despite their own questionable pasts.  The episode also displays the hypocrisy in the treatment of Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle), who have been involved in much more unethical business practices. The narrative around Lily is creating a double standard, and fans are eager to hear Jill Abbott's (Jess Walton) perspective on the ongoing conflict on YR. Despite the criticism, Lily is determined to protect Chancellor Winters and its assets from ex-employees seeking unjust compensation.

I have notoriously bad handwriting, and being left handed, I often smear ink on the page.  In order to write correctly, I have to slow down.  Success works the same way.  In a world of "do it now, do it fast," we must focus on doing it correctly and by doing so, get results faster.

An editor at Vanity Fair and a contributor to the New Yorker, among others, Mike Sacks is the author of ten books. Two of those books are collections of in-depth interviews with profoundly influential comedy writers from the legendary to the less known but no less important. His other books take a little more explaining. Two of them are being re-published this week: “Stinker Lets Loose” is a deliberately badly written novelization of a 1970's trucker movie that never actually existed. “Randy!” Is an “unpublished memoir” Sacks “found” at a yard sale written by an average Maryland dirtbag who's come into some money. Sacks also co-wrote “Welcome to Woodmont College,” a fake catalogue from a really expensive (and really shit) boutique college, out in hardback last month. Today we discuss his approach to comedy — both writing it himself and what he's learned from interviewing some of the best to ever do it.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com  Email: hello@bkmag.com  Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine  Twitter: @brooklynmag  Instagram: @brooklynmagazine  Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope

 This week we unironically appoint ourselves as judge Judy and executioner when it comes to deciding what constitutes "good" and "bad" writing. We wade, like treaclenauts through the metaphorical linguistic molasses, to address profligate supererogatory expatiated prose as well as the down right boring and clunky – in a quest to get to the bottom of the question; “So, what exactly makes bad writing bad?”

This week we finally return to our review of American Marxism by Mark Levin, a man we can only assume is still angry he was never given a pony to kill. In this second half of chapter three we learn mostly how staggeringly and completely lazy Levin was in writing this book. In all absolute honesty, and with complete disclosure that I do not have the time to sit and count words, Levin appears to have filled this chapter (and probably the book) with more words that come from block quotes written by the people he hates than his own original writing. Sincerely, this book is a snarky quote-tweet of a 2000 word deeply researched and detailed article, in other words, the same thing as Levin's Radio and TV shows. Because as we all know, when you don't have the facts, scream that your enemies are commies. We also saw Levin engage in some of the most blatant bullshitting of the book thus far (while we're sure there is plenty more to come) in deliberately attempting to deceive his audience into believing that somewhat hacky scholarly work about “Millenialists” actually applies to “Millenials.” I can assure you the two terms have almost nothing to do with one another.

This week in the Cold, we're talking about what a bad writing day is really like. We've all had them. Days when none of our usual tricks work. We can't go for a walk to reboot - the weather is crap, no amount of research or internet surfing is delivering that spark of inspiration, the words trip out onto the page like bad dancers. But there's a method to the madness, and there are ways we can turn these terribly, awful, no good, very bad days into something we can use.
