This has excited me to write again! I was such a writer in my school years… but life has snuffed the desire . Coming across you today is stirring something inside that has been silenced for decades!! Ty

Ah, that is wonderful! Let the silence be no more - perhaps your first mini-saga could be about that? :)

Barry, your writing advice is so much fun, and can lead to better writing. I enjoyed the video and I've enjoyed writing my mini-sagas. I use fountain pen and my Mnemosyne A4 journal. Thank you!

"Squirrel, daddy, squirrel!" Katie squealed. Paul picked up the rifle, glancing at Katie's eyes to place the squirrel. He swung the rifle to the spot and then narrowed the sights on the animal. Slowly cocking the mechanism, he slowed his breath and drew a bead. Pow! Missed! The squirrel ran.

I just found your page, and I'm now hooked! I'm addicted 2:49 to stationery and my stories and I often wonder if should step away from the laptop and screen more often.

I have been writing in a pocket notebook, one page per day, for the last 7+ years. I occasionally miss a day or two, but make it up sometime later in the week. I know it’s not story writing, but more of journaling or documenting. I believe it has changed my life. The ritual is the important part.

I think writing poetry serves a similar purpose. It's not about deciding what words to use to convey this thought; rather, it's what is the one, precise word that will work better than any other to exactly express this thought.

Agreed. Mini-sagas can easily turn into poetry and vice versa.

Really enjoy this idea. Godot waits till I’m seated to start talking. He’s asking a lot of questions and not waiting for answers. He’s getting panicked saying he doesn’t have enough time. Others have started to look at me to silence him. I wish I could, but Godot is me. Godot’s my stoma.

I'm new to your channel. The mini saga idea really took hold for me. I'm writing one mini saga a day for 50 days. Today (Aug. 4) is number 4. Thank you so much for the idea!! I look forward to more videos. 😊🙏

I'm studying an English literature and creative writing degree, and the one thing they warn you about is that being published anywhere is very very rare. So well done you 👏 Personally I use a4 note pads, writing double spaced and on only one side of the page in black. Then i write instructions etc to myself on the blank page. The double spacing allows me to add additional dialogue when i need to. It works great!🙂

I have always loved pen and paper and writing. I been writing poems which are mostly short at least mine are. I was thinking I bet I could keep my stories to one page of the field notes. Talk about a short story. LOL. Or maybe fill up the full book. I mean 48 pages for the pocket notebook is ‘short’. 😂 Yes, so many times people are verbose and it is like word salad for my brain.
