  • 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: 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.

    There is a tendency to overthink while writing, especially amongst new writers. You want to do well, want to make a good impression, want to come up with something well-written and perhaps clever, and while these goals are good, they can also lead to the slippery slope of overthinking your story.

    This video goes over adjusting your headspace so there is no disconnection between your conscious and subconscious mind due to overthinking your story.

    The solution is simple. Watch and find out.

    It happens. You have the vision, you begin to draw, all goes smooth, the picture is turning out perfectly . . . then you hit a snag and can’t draw that arm. Every effort yields something less than desirable. Frustration sets in and you’re not sure if you should continue with the drawing or not.

    Here’s what to do so you can finish your work.

    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.

    Peace. Enjoy.

    Writer’s block hits every writer once in a while. For myself, it only happened once until I figured out how to overcome it. That was over twenty years ago. This authortube video is meant to encourage you and put you in the right headspace to keep the story moving forward despite if you feel blocked. Without proper headspace, you won’t get anywhere anyway. It’s my hope that this video helps set your head on straight so you can continue with your story.
