@PilotTheRocket amen,? brother
@Jaqshit … I don’t like your use of commas but I appreciate your? comment.
@NewZealandAri hes a stand up comedian 🙂 a really? funny one aswell 🙂
Ron Paul? 2012, Spam the internet!
Am I wrong for expecting this? to have been funny?
This guy? should be an actor or see a psychologist.
this guy is? very fucken sad.
if you can only write a paragraph then either find a new job or hobby, or keep writing because you enjoy it, i have written 70, words in ten days, it’s easy, just sit infront of the keyboard and listen, dont edit, just type,? things come out, get rid of the crap and use the good stuff, keep writing, eventually links appear, things written years apart join together, other parts form new pieces.
What? How hard can writing a book be?? Oh…. never mind.
Writing a good book is one challenge but in order for a book to sell, the author must have an eye? catching design and an attractive product. Otherwise nobody will pick it up off the shelf. I’ve been helping authors design books and designing the page layout. The results have been helpful. I have a few videos on my channel that might be helpful.
I saw this video when I first started writing….I realized it was comedy and was hilarious..now that I’m 40 pages in…aghhh I’m getting the daze of? agony.
damn?
Lol? love Lewis Black,
homework? everyday
Uh… it’s too late for me! Now I just need to get some earplugs so I can’t hear the words? of the critics.
Omigosh… LB is? one dark mofo, LOL.
wow — considering a few of his comments, i think he’s? using a damn typewriter.
I started? to write a book. When I wanted to read it to my brother, all I could think was, holy shit, this is awkward.
lewis black COMEDIAN/man? that tells jokes
“HOmework every day”. Haha, so true. Still, writing a book isn’t so bad when you? do it in manageable little chunks, like an hour a day or so.
It’s? a joke.
after 10 minutes I couldn’t help myself.? I just had to start writing! Fucking awesome video
I agree, this video truly gives many good pieces of advice.? Thanks for sharing!
Very? interesting and very useful video.
I was looking for information to help me with pulling together my research related to Australian Colonial History, into something meaningful. I found your video. The advice from Prof Macfarlane is excellent and enlightening. I drew from it a great deal of encouragement. Thank? you!
The historian is F.W.Maitland -? Alan
Hi, could someone please tell me the name of the Historian Macfarlane cites, who wrote standing up? He? cites him at 28:30. I’d love to read this Historian’s prose!! Thanks!
how many? A4’s is a dissertation?
What a nice video. I am a doctoral student in healthcare administration working hard on my dissertation. Sometimes I get caught up in the project and leave out the thinking part..this has helped me get back on track for the actual purpose, rather than the retoric? ..
Thanks
great,? thank you.
Hello Allan
I’m a Danish student who’s about to write my bachelor’s thesis on sociology, and I found your lectures on youtube to be very helpful to my understanding of the individual thinkers, but also their interconnectedness and impact on the societies of today.
I think it’s great to be able to learn via means other than your standard textbook, since it can be tiresome to constantly work with the same medium. The? videos make the whole process more varied and, as a consequence, fun!
Thank you Alan!? I appreciate your advice to start with the premise of “what do I like?” What topic(s) or issues or ideas do I think/talk non-stop about? 150+ pages fills fast and even research holes can be worthwhile when passionate about a topic. I also like your comments on gaining confidence. Cheers! Dena Rosko
What? a lucky grand-daughter you have!
