  • Authortube: What is Purple Prose?

    Posted on March 12, 2025 6:20 pm by A.P. Fuchs

    Authortube: What is Purple Prose?

    vLog Authortube What is Purple Prose

    What is purple prose?

    You might have heard the term from seasoned writers or those just beginning. You might have even heard the term from your English teacher–but what is it?

    Well, it has a boring definition with boring examples so in this video we cut to the heart of it and explain it simply and easily and how to avoid this writing crime.

    Let’s go purple and have some educational fun!

    Cheers and enjoy!

  • Authortube: Should You Listen to Your Editor? | General Best Practice

    Authortube: Should You Listen to Your Editor? | General Best Practice

    vLog Authortube Should You Listen to Your Editor General Best Practice video

    In the age of new writers emerging all the time and various qualities of work being put out there, sometimes you wonder if an editor was involved or not?

    So the question to writers is: Should you listen to your editor?

    This video is a general, broadbrush statement on best practice when it comes to this question. Obviously, not all scenarios and specifics could be discussed unless you wanted a twelve-season Blu-ray set. Haha.

    The comments are open for discussion regarding certain scenarios or specifics.

    Thanks.

  • Authortube: Beta Readers | An Opinion from a Self-publishing Veteran

    Authortube: Beta Readers | An Opinion from a Self-publishing Veteran

    vLog Authortube Beta Readers An Opinion from a Self-publishing Veteran thumbnail

    Prompted by a Facebook post upon which I was able to give my opinion on beta readers, I decided to make this Authortube video discussing the same and give my answer in video form as well.

    Warning, this video might be controversial and you might not agree with what I have to say. That’s fair and that’s your right. This is just the opinion of a self-publishing veteran (22 years) who’s part of the old guard of writers, so to speak.

    For those curious, I’ve played the role of author, publisher, and editor. I’ve done deals with New York and abroad. My label was also a traditional publishing house for a time. These items are listed so you know where I’m coming from.

    Anyway, please enjoy this old guy’s opinion on beta readers and if a writer should use them or not.

    Thanks for watching.

    Who says superheroes and other Pop Culture characters only get Funko Pops!

    Here’s authors A.P. Fuchs (superheroes and monsters) and Melinda Marshall (dystopian YA novels) Funko Pops!

    Last Christmas I got myself, my girlfriend, and my kids custom-made Funko Pops as a gift. It was done through the Pop Yourself feature at Funko.com. It was a little round-about way to get them because Funko doesn’t ship to Canada (at least when I ordered last October) so I had to first ship to someone I know in the States then have them ship the Pops to me. It took a while but it certainly made everybody at Christmas happy and very surprised.

    Go Pop Yourself at Funko.com!

    Don’t forget to stay to the end for more Funk Pop! videos.

  • Authortube: What to do When You Write Yourself into a Corner (and How to Get Out of It)

    Authortube: What to do When You Write Yourself into a Corner

    (and How to Get Out of It)

    vLog Authortube what to do when you write yourself into a corner thumbnail

    It’s okay. It happens. Sometimes the story rolls so strong you just go with it and see where it takes you. Unfortunately, though I firmly believe the Story knows best, sometimes a writer finds themselves in a place where they have written themselves into a corner and there is no way to move the story forward. Everything and everybody in your tale is stuck and locked in Time. You tried to fix it but only made it worse. You don’t want to scrap it or rewrite a pile of stuff that came before this point, and even if you backtracked, it wouldn’t be the same. What you have is perfect except . . . you’re in a corner.

    Here’s how you get out of it and get the story moving again.

    Most writers complain when it comes to part of making a book where the back cover synopsis has to be written. Plenty of writers struggle with writing it . . . but it doesn’t have to be that way because, in truth, it’s a basic process. Case in point: If you’re able to sum up your book in one to four words as a title, it’s guaranteed you can sum up the same but just a little more loosely.

    Follow these three simple steps and you’ll be writing your back cover synopsis with ease.

    Authortube: Freelancing: The Follow Up | Manners

    vLog authortube booktube Freelancing The Follow Up Manners thumbnail

    So, when to follow up with an employer?

    This just happened at the time the video was made. I decided to make the video a little fired up because the arts are all about honesty and honest expression so that’s what you’re getting here.

    The same rules of manners regarding the follow up is the same for freelancers as it is for working in the public or private sector. This is it on how to be a professional freelaner.

    This is basic stuff. We learned this in kindergarden. I hope you learn something from this video, especially if you’re new to the freelancing world.

    Authortube: A.P. Fuchs Superhero and Monster Writer Launched!

    Authortube YouTube logo

    Did a pile of work this weekend, one of which was sending CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS off to press. If all goes to plan, it’ll be out June 1, 2024.

    In the meantime, I’ve been doing a lot of Authortube videos so I decided to make an official playlist for them for you to enjoy. I also took the time to link one video to the next to ensure a smooth viewing experience. Please click the graphic above to be taken to the playlist. Also be sure to subscribe because there are plenty of Authortube videos coming, including a separate series on writing basics, the goal being that if you get the basics down as your foundation, everything else is just finer-point details going forward. Plus, if you understand the basics of writing–in this case, fiction–then it’ll save you a pile of headaches and frustration later come the revision process. It’ll also help ensure a quality book instead of the stuff being released today where writers don’t even understand the basics of writing and rush right into publishing.

    Anyway, these Authortube videos are meant to get your head in the right space for creativity, the publishing business, and the craft in general.

    Enjoy.

    Peace. Enjoy.
