@@howlsaur unless they drastically change their formula, I don't think they're ever going to have a dairy free option, because their primary ingredient is whey protein and casein 🙁 On the plus side, you're not missing much. We still get it occasionally, because my husband has chosen it as his splurge purchase, but I wouldn't buy it again if it were my money (shared finances, but separate accounts). The boxes are only 7oz (28grams) and come out to about $9.75 per box (you can only buy 4-packs at $39). They're not as sweet as they advertise, but some of the flavors are pretty good. I do actually like the cinnamon, blueberry, and limited flavours of strawberry, and banana, but it's overall kind of an acquired taste, because it still tastes like they're using whey protein. My husband really loves bland cereal in regular brands (crispex, plain rice crispies, kix, etc), so he LOVES Magic Spoon, hence why he's the one that will re-buy it 😂 Ultimately, I don't think you're missing much even if they don't change their formula.

After watching this video and hearing your critique on what makes for uninteresting writing, you've made me a better writer already! I wrote in to a tv court show (Divorce Court) to get a spot and I was accepted!!! (I just love all the court shows and found my chance to be on one, I have a friend I convinced to go on with me. He's the best!) After being chosen were were asked to write 4 complaints with 2 reasons to go along with each one. 16 total complaints. This is to be our script for the show. I wrote his complaints as well. I used what you talk about so much in your videos, I used anecdotes and real life stories, with dialogue, to make each complaint more colorful. Instead of just writing "he's always late and it sucks. He makes me late for so much." I wrote out 2 stories of times he made me late and conversations that took place. The booking agent LOVED it. Also, this way it's really curated what his complaints about me are on tv later this year, complete with advertising for what I do for work and same for him. Thank you so much for all of your videos! I really learn a lot and I'm not a pro writer by any means.

Big difference between OCD and super organized personality- my little sister has the former, and I have the latter. My sister is debilitated by the symptoms of her OCD and it has been wreaking havoc on her life since childhood; I enjoy writing up daily itineraries and organizing my stationery by color and size. My sister spends all of her time completing rituals while I have a full-time job and hobbies. Organization makes your life better, OCD makes your life hell. It really pisses me off when people who have strong preferences about how to do things call it "OCD" like it's cute.

Coming here after the review of Jeanette McCurdy’s memoir. Considering all the surface-level similarities of both being former Nickelodeon child actors with toxic parents and OCD, the difference in writing technique and skill is so much more apparent. Like, I don’t want to directly compare their lived experiences. They both deserve better than to be pit against each other. But reading Jenette’s book really makes all the missed opportunities in Jamie Lynn’s book all the more evident. JLS’s authorial voice, for the most part, seems so matter-of-fact and devoid of compassion for anybody who isn’t her. It seems like she has a lot of personal growth to go through before she can reflect on her lived experiences enough to craft a compelling memoir.

It is SO clear that the Spears family believes that your emotions do not matter and are not valid. The fact that Jamie Lynn says Britney had “emotional episodes” says it all. Whenever Britney had tough spots in her life WHICH IS NORMAL they frame it as “omg she is spiraling, we need to fix this” instead of just leaving her the fuck alone and validate her very normal emotions to everything she was dealing with. It wasn’t “we need to protect her” as the family says. It was to monitor and regulate her to protect the Spears brand-a brand that wasn’t all of theirs to share. The “Spears brand” has always been just Britney. They wanted to control how people viewed the Spears family-meanwhile let’s not talk about all of the father Jamie’s behavior and list of issues and history of abuse. It is also very telling when Jamie Lynn talks about her mothers card declining at Limited Too and how HUMILIATING it was. Granted, I mean in general I know that can be embarrassing to happen-but that shows that all this family cares about is their image and how others view them. They suffocated Britney, harassed her when she was the one making the money, paying for their vacations, buying them cars and houses, she was a grown woman but they wanted to keep her on a leash. It is normal to separate yourself from your family a bit as you age and want your own life, your own experiences, make your own mistakes, have your own dreams of what you want for YOUR life. And they took that away from her because they are controlling narcissists that see her as a piggy bank. It’s absolutely beyond sickening. Just imagine not LEGALLY being able to escape your very toxic family. Holy fuck.

While I agree with most of what you say, having your card declined *is* a very humiliating experience and if you are already struggling with money and rent and food it is *very* traumatic because everyone is judging you, the people around you make comment about how you shouldn't try to buy stuff if you cannot afford it, most of the time the cashier looks down on you, and having to leave your stuff to the cashier and leave is extremely embarrassing. I can see how it would affect a child even more, because for them it is a concrete realisation that their parents won't always be able to protect them and it induces a lot of anxiety about the future. This being said I fully agree that this family abused their daughter and used her a piggy bank and so on. Unforgivable.

@@SAVYWRITESBOOKS Yeah, and I'm not trying to invalidate her experience at all. I'm just clarifying that there is a pretty distict diagnostic bar for something to be considered a disorder. Me, for example, have obsessive compulsive traits (due to my ADHD) however, it doesn't meet the standards of OCD, because it doesn't meet the clinical criteria to say it is a disorder. It would be insincere for me to go tell people I have OCD. Because I do have O.C traits, I can empathize with someone with OCD, but cannot say I'm part of that community because my traits do not negatively impact my daily living enough, and cannot say I know (using you as an example) what you deal with. I feel that it's a dangerous gray area, because people who have traits of a disorder and identify as someone with the disorder are the ones that down play the impact of what it does to those who do live with it as "oh I have OCD, it's not that bad" kind of mentality.

And so sometimes speaking out (in a respectful manner, as i try not to invalidate someones experience, but politely clarify). I had a similar conversation on a post about Disney's Encanto of all things, who someone who claimed to be a counselor (you never know with social media) was WAY diagnosing the Bruno character, and said he had OCD, DID, and all these very serious mental health diagnosis.. and I picked that apart so hard. Someone who has a superstitious tick again doesn't meet the standard of O.C.D. (he knocks on wood or throws salt over his shoulder when Miribel says something he doesn't want jinxed) isn't O.C.D level symptoms. And having alter-egos to help cope with traumatic events that happened to him as an adult (and even states "I think my true gift is acting") doesn't meet the criteria of D.I.D because he isn't disassociating, it's a mask. Some people throw these disorders around so flippantly that I see it hurting people in those communities, making them seem "not-so-bad" when people truly struggle everyday managing these conditions and understanding and empathy is needed, not a false impression of what these conditions actually look like.

I just really feel a type of cringe when people say JLS doesn't care for Britney because I have a sister, and no matter what she does, I could never imagine not caring about her. I just feel like people are unaware of how common it is that kids turn on eachother when they have an abusive parent. It's the most common thing that children direct their resentment for an abusive parent toward a sibling, because you have this awareness that you can't change your parents, but you can still feel disappointment and heartbreak for a sibling that failed to protect you. And no it's not fair to have this expectation of a child that also is experiencing abuse, but it happens. And to me it just feels so wrong that so many people are going after Jamie, when a lot of her behaviour to me reads as another victim of abuse that is coping with that abuse with displacement and denial, we are taking away our focus from the actual abuser, which is their father.

Even though her father is clearly not an awesome person, she still craves his love and attention. I hope one day she is able to release all of this and be content with the life she has made for herself. And the scenes. THE SCENES. Those were some excellent scenes!!!!

Yeah, OCD literally feels (at least for me) like you're living in your own personal hell where your worst fears are being realized before your eyes and you feel like you're causing it but don't know how to stop and the harder you try the worse it gets. Being in an OCD spiral feels like torture for me. So Jamie only portraying the "good" parts seems very suspect. I find it hard to believe that OCD has only had a positive impact on her, considering the fact that she sought out treatment and a diagnosis. People usually do that when a mental health issue interferes in one's life to an extent that it's causing significant distress. It's very problematic to portray only what might make her look good and to leave out the distressing parts when she had a chance to educate the public. They call it a disorder for a reason.

That everyone got the wrong girl and it was indeed her that was suppose to be the famous one. She hasn’t realize the truth of anything, or is actively trying to deny it. If it wasn’t for Brittany she wouldn’t have gotten half these roles. Her whole life is based around Brittany. There are indeed some traumatic and self esteem issues being raised under a super famous person and this book proves it. It’s like she has dissociated from her life. At least for the majority of it. The only time she is present in her life are with her child. The only thing that is separate from Brittany. The one thing Brittany could not effect. The one thing that cannot be attached to Brittanies name. Unfortunately you can still see Jamie trying to attach Brittany in a sneaky way. “Like Brittany is unclean with her things but because I have OCD I’m so spotless and it makes my children prosper.” She needs to take herself and her book into therapy 🫠

As far as the Teslas being cat murderers thing, I just want to say I have an electric car and have never hit a cat or anything else. The alley I park in often has at least one cat in it since a neighbor has 3 outdoor cats plus we have plenty of ferals in the area that I put food out for. At some point, you have to understand that you are responsible for it when you hit something with your car. I do think electric cars should make more noise so blind people know there are cars if they're trying to cross the street, but as a driver you are usually responsible for what you hit.

Keep the cats out of the area where the car is, look around the area before driving out, honk a horn before driving, literally no precautions?? I don't even understand why the cat would be near the car and not sitting in the living room. It's pure negligence. Oh and they way she just...haphazardly talks about it?

SOOOO true...100% agree with what you said about girls who say "I don't like hanging out with other girls because they're so much drama". They always end up being the biggest drama queens. Over the years I have found this to be true time and time again and now, if I ever meet a girl who says this, I tend to run the other way because these girls have ended up causing me the most headaches. Also I've watched several other videos on this book and they mostly tended to focus on the drama with Jamie Lynn, her family and the conservatorship and Jamie Lynn's most recent interviews promoting the book. I'm so glad to see someone actually analyze the book and read some passages from it. In the other videos I've watched, they mentioned how bad the book was, but I assumed it was mostly because of who wrote it and her attitude about everything. However, after you've read some of the passages from it, it's apparent that a huge issue is that the actual writing is incredibly boring! It seems to be written more like a report one writes for school instead of an actual memoir. I'm so glad others have read this so I don't have to. Thank you for your sacrifice.

This was great! I’m not a developmental editor so I’ll leave that to you 100%; I am a copy editor, though, and some of the sentences you flagged were things I may have suggested changes for, but likely wouldn’t have bothered. Why? Because context matters, too! If you do a line edit at the sentence level only, without taking the whole paragraph into account, then you’re going to suggest “clarifications” that are present in the surrounding sentences. I do get tired of the passive voice, and unless it’s a particular type of formal business writing I think it’s better to avoid passive voice. (Most of what I edit is reports for the government. It’s mostly passive voice.) I would not be surprised if there was no copy editor involved with this book at the publishing house. In the past 10-15 years the quality has deteriorated, to the point where when I’m reading an e-book I highlight errors and include the count in my GoodReads review. The worst was the YA novel where the FMC “clamoured” over the back of the seat in a truck to get from the back (obviously a crew cab) to the front. She did this more than once. The word they were looking for was “clambered.” I know they are homonyms, but they mean two incredibly different things! Based on the courses I’ve taken, people who do what I do are mostly freelance at this point, at least in Canada. Newspapers dumped copyeditors first, requiring journalists to edit and proof their own articles (which is hard-I often find that I miss typos in my own writing!). Editors tend to be primarily developmental editors these days, particularly at newspapers and publishing houses.

I really can't imagine how someone could think about dogs that way. Once, my family took a dog home for an overnight visit while we were thinking about adopting her. She was a mix of two working breeds, like German shepherd/blue heeler or something. She also still had her puppy energy. Making things worse, she was too nervous for the dog park. Our yard clearly wasn't enough for her, and we decided we couldn't adopt her. It was devastating. We'd had her for less than a week, and she had spent the entire time driving me nuts. Every time I moved, she thought I wanted to wrestle. I got up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water, and she jumped up and spilled it all over both of us. It was a nightmare. Even so, when we had to give her back to her foster family, I cried for hours. She wanted so badly to be a good dog, but she needed an outlet for her energy, and we just couldn't give that to her. I remember sobbing into her fur, babbling and apologizing to her over and over. "I love you so much, but I just can't do this! I'm so sorry, puppy. I'm sorry I can't be your human." We did eventually find our perfect rescue dog. She's a former street dog named Kirby, and I love her very much. But I still feel like I abandoned Daisy, even though we only had her for a visit.

In Spanish we use the word "anécdota", anecdote in English, that little tale of a curious/funny scene in the past that can be told in a few paragraphs in first person , that are very common in autobiography. Usually the writer goes with the anecdote in first person, and at the end tries to grab something in it that correlates to the present. In Argentina we usually link childhood memories to something Freudian, because Freudian analysis is very common here.

I think she only wrote the book because she was getting so much hate, so she had a few specific stories she wanted to tell. She wanted to let people know that Britney was "not so innocent," and Jamie is the "true victim" in the family. Every other part of the book was filler and probably bored her to death to write just the same way it bored the readers. I'm just guessing based on all the reviews and listening to her talk. I have zero interest in reading it or anything she has to say. She's just boring to me. She wants to break free from Britney's shadow, and I get it, even though I'm the oldest of 3, not youngest. My sister has similar jealousy issues, so I understand from that perspective.

This is good writing advice to learn. I had a lot of problems in my first draft of my novel with too much summary. When you set a scene, you're saying "these are the important events", it's about deciding what to highlight. It requires a lot of deliberation to decide what is "important" for a scene, especially when dealing with adaptation or basing a story of true events.

*also remember that Dan Schneider’s iCarly had an episode mocking Britney at her lowest. Of course, Jamie Lynn never addressed this, and still praises Dan.

Love you are critiquing this for the writing vs the controversy surrounding the family and timing of the book release. I am also really interested in memoir style writing so I am learning a lot as well. Thank you!
