haha...thanks to you, I'm just discovering this YT genius. and hence, discovering my own 'original' haphazard tropes done not so perfectly!
Glad to help! Which videos have stood out to you so far? I thought the one on dystopias was hilarious. I love anything that calls out messy worldbuilding.
Hey! 👋I just released a Halloween special eBook called Beneath the Jack O’ Lantern. 🎃
It’s a short, mysterious story about secrets hiding beneath glowing lanterns. Thought you might enjoy it!
Here’s the link: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0FWYR1C7M?t...
Would love to hear your thoughts if you read it! ✨
You probably know the Terrible Writing Advice YouTube channel, the one that hilariously dissects every mistake writers can make. I’ve been a fan for years, and it sparked a question:
What if a writer actually followed that advice?
That’s how Jamie Genius was born — a self-proclaimed literary prodigy, viral influencer, and man convinced that his “magnum opus” will change the world. The first novella in the series, Jamie Genius Writes a Novel, is a sharp satire of author egos, influencer culture, and the perils of blind confidence.
If this sounds like your kind of comedy and you’d like to join my beta review team, send me a message! You’ll receive the first installment to review — and help shape the future of Jamie’s wonderfully disastrous literary career.
Blurb:
Meet Jamie Genius, a social media star with a million followers, a self-proclaimed IQ of 191.66, and an audacious mission to grace literature with his presence. Convinced that genius requires only luxury surroundings—and that actual writing is a mere technicality—Jamie quits his job, burns through a loan renting a penthouse, and sets out to craft his magnum opus.
An instant bestseller isn’t just a dream; in his mind, it’s a certainty.
You’ll watch him invent a genre nobody asked for, unleash an AI-assisted monstrosity on hapless beta readers, and lecture seasoned authors with his unsolicited advice. What could possibly go wrong? Soon he’s pitching a book so bad, agents would rather sign his dog.
This satirical novella pokes fun at influencer culture and the writing world, offering a sharp look at what happens when ambition outruns ability. Come for the comedy, stay for the cautionary tale.
