Weapons & The Apocalypse - Post Apocalyptic Writing Advice Dan Hook 2022-09-21 | In this brief video I touch upon everything I tend to consider when creating a post apocalyptic world in terms of weapons and what will be in it. From the apocalyptic event which causes the issues and freezes progress for weapon development, alongside finding stashes of old guns. Alongside this, knowledge can be forgotten, or progress can be furthered or altered in direction (something that can easily allow us to add that little bit of sci-fi flavour if it hasn't already).Anyway, though I say it's more in-depth, it really is still just a bit of a ramble from myself over how I tend to think about and consider these things. Hopefully it might spark something for you :) --If you fancy buying me a cuppa or buying a signed book, visit my Ko-Fi page: ko-fi.com/danhookSign up to my newsletter and receive a FREE PDF of A Novel Idea: danhook.co.uk/my-monthly-newsletterOr check out its paperback page on Amazon:UK: amazon.co.uk/Novel-Idea-Simple-Writing-Publishing/dp/1838038922US (affiliate link): amzn.to/3FlrUQ0Twitter: twitter.com/DanHookInstagram: instagram.com/authordanhookCheckout Displaced, my post apocalyptic debut novel:Launch Trailer found on my (this) authortube: youtube.com/watch?v=jteYWAMAZON UK: amzn.to/3dz7jbEAMAZON US: amzn.to/3g77ixBMywebsite: danhook.co.uk
Getting back on track - September Update [authortube] Dan Hook 2022-09-08 | And just like that, August was gone and I missed out my usual routine of a goals video for accountability. That said, I did actually accomplish my goals, so it wasn't a total fail. Still, it'd be nice to get back into the swing of authortube with my next set of (very loose) editing goals.

Oops. Continue Editing - July Goals [authortube] Dan Hook 2022-07-18 | Well here we are mid-way through July and I've finally managed to get my goals video done... though without the main goal I intended to finish.

Why I Love Post Apocalyptic World Building [authortube] Dan Hook 2022-06-27 | I talk about why I enjoy writing post apocalyptic fiction and world building so much.

More Editing - June Update [authortube] Dan Hook 2022-06-05 | Another month gone, and another video for my accountability and plans for the next four weeks. I managed to finish my monthly read, Tracker, by Bethany Votaw! I really enjoyed this book so be sure to check it out in the link below!Alongside that I managed to upload a single YouTube video which I'm fairly happy with, attempting to up the quality and ensure any advice is concise and clear for the viewers.And then we have editing again. Slowly but surely I'll get there, but it certainly feels like grind. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying it but it takes so much longer to edit and tackle certain things!! Anyway, I have more tangible editing goals this month so hopefully I'll feel a bit more productive.Tracker: amazon.co.uk/Tracker-Bethany-Votaw-ebook/dp/B09MN1Z79P/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3FIK1KZ0MFVNY--If you fancy buying me a cuppa or buying a signed book, visit my Ko-Fi page: ko-fi.com/danhookSign up to my newsletter and receive a FREE PDF of A Novel Idea: danhook.co.uk/my-monthly-newsletterOr check out its paperback page on Amazon:UK: amazon.co.uk/Novel-Idea-Simple-Writing-Publishing/dp/1838038922US (affiliate link): amzn.to/3FlrUQ0Twitter: twitter.com/DanHookInstagram: instagram.com/authordanhookCheckout Displaced, my post apocalyptic debut novel:Launch Trailer found on my (this) authortube: youtube.com/watch?v=jteYWAMAZON UK: amzn.to/3dz7jbEAMAZON US: amzn.to/3g77ixBMywebsite: danhook.co.uk

Getting Back To Editing - May Plans [authortube] Dan Hook 2022-05-05 | Well after a bit of a bad month in terms of editing and writing, I'm hoping to finally get back on track with editing Disarray, the second book in my post-apocalyptic series. Now, I've not set a firm goal for editing, besides just getting on with it, but hopefully by the end of this month I'll have a better idea for how much longer I'll need before getting it back out into the world for more feedback.Besides that I also plan to finish Tracker, my current read, and upload at least one other video on YouTube relating to advice or help, as that's taken a bit of a backseat for the past month or so!

Finishing My Character Sheet - Productivity Spint [authortube] Dan Hook 2022-05-04 | So, as per my usual productivity sprints, these videos are essentially to hold me accountable for goals set. Again, I still debate the point of uploading them after completing the task so perhaps in future I'll change this up or think of another idea with these sprints of mine.Anyway, I managed to complete my character sheet! There were a few blank spots at the end but they were for background characters where the cost of spending time on them out-weighed the benefits of doing something else!-Time stamps:Intro: 00:00Timelapse: 01:06End Discussion: 02:07-If you fancy buying me a cuppa or buying a signed book, visit my Ko-Fi page: ko-fi.com/danhookSign up to my newsletter and receive a FREE PDF of A Novel Idea: danhook.co.uk/my-monthly-newsletterOr check out its paperback page on Amazon:UK: amazon.co.uk/Novel-Idea-Simple-Writing-Publishing/dp/1838038922US (affiliate link): amzn.to/3FlrUQ0Twitter: twitter.com/DanHookInstagram: instagram.com/authordanhookCheckout Displaced, my post apocalyptic debut novel:Launch Trailer found on my (this) authortube: youtube.com/watch?v=jteYWAMAZON UK: amzn.to/3dz7jbEAMAZON US: amzn.to/3g77ixBMywebsite: danhook.co.uk
Mid-April Update [authortube] Dan Hook 2022-04-22 | Well April has about a week and a bit left so it was high time I got around to making my plan video! Better late than never ay. It was a busy month with work related things and I've fallen off the editing wagon for a moment. So I've set myself one or two goals to get done by the end of this month so I can try to get back on track (and not feel too bad about time running away from me lol).Oh and Richard Holliday's newsletter signup, for those who want to give Foundations a read: richardholliday.us7.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=56aa6c6bc3c95bc91f7f7c0f1&id=470fbac33dIf you fancy buying me a cuppa or buying a signed book, visit my Ko-Fi page: ko-fi.com/danhookSign up to my newsletter and receive a FREE PDF of A Novel Idea: danhook.co.uk/my-monthly-newsletterOr check out its paperback page on Amazon:UK: amazon.co.uk/Novel-Idea-Simple-Writing-Publishing/dp/1838038922US (affiliate link): amzn.to/3FlrUQ0Twitter: twitter.com/DanHookInstagram: instagram.com/authordanhookCheckout Displaced, my post apocalyptic debut novel:Launch Trailer found on my (this) authortube: youtube.com/watch?v=jteYWAMAZON UK: amzn.to/3dz7jbEAMAZON US: amzn.to/3g77ixBMywebsite: danhook.co.uk
My Rough Plan For March [authortube] Dan Hook 2022-03-01 | With the reasonable success of my Feb plan video in regards to accountability, I thought it'd be best to do it again for March (it will keep me reading at the very least).So this month I plan to read Foundations, by Richard Holliday - which I'm very much looking forward to. Alongside this, I also plan to keep on editing Disarray (and hopefully get the majority of the smaller things done).And lastly, another video on YouTube relating to Worldbuilding tips and tricks, though in my pursuit of wanting to get better at video production - everything takes so much longer to plan.----If you fancy buying me a cuppa or buying a signed book, visit my Ko-Fi page: ko-fi.com/danhookSign up to my newsletter and receive a FREE PDF of A Novel Idea: danhook.co.uk/my-monthly-newsletterOr check out its paperback page on Amazon:UK: amazon.co.uk/Novel-Idea-Simple-Writing-Publishing/dp/1838038922US (affiliate link): amzn.to/3FlrUQ0Twitter: twitter.com/DanHookInstagram: instagram.com/authordanhookCheckout Displaced, my post apocalyptic debut novel:Launch Trailer found on my (this) authortube: youtube.com/watch?v=jteYWAMAZON UK: amzn.to/3dz7jbEAMAZON US: amzn.to/3g77ixBMywebsite: danhook.co.uk
Editing Vlog Thing [authortube] Dan Hook 2022-02-24 | Honestly, I didn't have a plan and it shows (even just by the title) 😂 A mash of walking to the shops, making tea, and then eventually starting the editing process for Disarray - all while eating jelly babies and watching livestreams. It got me to start the edit eventually and once I got going I was quickly reminded just how long everything takes...I almost binned the footage but decided to just post anyway!Music used in time lapse from: bensound.com/royalty-free-music--If you fancy buying me a cuppa or buying a signed book, visit my Ko-Fi page: ko-fi.com/danhookSign up to my newsletter and receive a FREE PDF of A Novel Idea: danhook.co.uk/my-monthly-newsletterOr check out its paperback page on Amazon:UK: amazon.co.uk/Novel-Idea-Simple-Writing-Publishing/dp/1838038922US (affiliate link): amzn.to/3FlrUQ0Twitter: twitter.com/DanHookInstagram: instagram.com/authordanhookCheckout Displaced, my post apocalyptic debut novel:Launch Trailer found on my (this) authortube: youtube.com/watch?v=jteYWAMAZON UK: amzn.to/3dz7jbEAMAZON US: amzn.to/3g77ixBMywebsite: danhook.co.uk
Organising Feedback - Productivity Sprint [authortube] Dan Hook 2022-02-22 | I didn't quite realise I'd be making another video like this so soon, but here we are! I decided once again to set the camera upon myself while working to ensure I didn't lose focus. In this video I went over my feedback and organised the notes into a list - a small task but one I kept pushing back. I've now planned it in a way where I can work through the list from top to bottom, with quick fixes being the starting point. All of this is for my second post-apocalyptic novel, Disarray, which (as you can tell) I'm currently editing.I'm still not sure if this is more of a vlog than a sprint, or even an accountability video... I guess I may switch it up as I go! --Music used in time lapse from: bensound.com/royalty-free-music--If you fancy buying me a cuppa or buying a signed book, visit my Ko-Fi page: ko-fi.com/danhookSign up to my newsletter and receive a FREE PDF of A Novel Idea: danhook.co.uk/my-monthly-newsletterOr check out its paperback page on Amazon:UK: amazon.co.uk/Novel-Idea-Simple-Writing-Publishing/dp/1838038922US (affiliate link): amzn.to/3FlrUQ0Twitter: twitter.com/DanHookInstagram: instagram.com/authordanhookCheckout Displaced, my debut novel:Launch Trailer found on my (this) authortube: youtube.com/watch?v=jteYWAMAZON UK: amzn.to/3dz7jbEAMAZON US: amzn.to/3g77ixBMywebsite: danhook.co.uk
Productivity Sprint Time-Lapse For My Note-Taking [authortube] Dan Hook 2022-02-15 | In this video you see me take on a couple of quick sprints in the hopes that the extra camera and timer pressure will spur me into being extra productive.

Before drawing a map myself, I'd spent far too long thinking of finer details and settlements irrelevant to my series... which wasn't a fantastic use of my time.Hopefully this video will be of some use to people and indie authors starting to build their fictional worlds, so they can develop the crucial parts and quickly get into their writing!Also that Ko-Fi coffee for Richard Holliday should have been a number seven for his donation... not six!The Importance of Travelling in a Post Apocalyptic World: youtube.com/watch?v=ZBwoPGFIPIwHow To Create a Post-Apocalyptic World [Authortuber]: youtube.com/watch?v=PzM87IUfdEwHow to name fictional places [updated]: youtube.com/watch?v=x9H6xyyJRLk---If you fancy buying me a cuppa or buying a signed book, visit my Ko-Fi page: ko-fi.com/danhookSign up to my newsletter and receive a FREE PDF of A Novel Idea: danhook.co.uk/my-monthly-newsletterOr check out its paperback page on Amazon:UK: amazon.co.uk/Novel-Idea-Simple-Writing-Publishing/dp/1838038922US (affiliate link): amzn.to/3FlrUQ0Twitter: twitter.com/DanHookInstagram: instagram.com/authordanhookCheckout Displaced, my debut novel:Launch Trailer found on my (this) authortube: youtube.com/watch?v=jteYWAMAZON UK: amzn.to/3dz7jbEAMAZON US: amzn.to/3g77ixBMywebsite: danhook.co.ukIf you fancy checking out Fiverr, feel free to use my affiliate link as it helps youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWF4Tkc2dUtMdDJYaHIzMDhVSUE2VkxvOXh6UXxBQ3Jtc0trMnRKTTVITnREdW9hMC1VdkcyZlVBbE1DVFpIOWY1NndHNDNsNDQzU2JRakhXRGNaMDhYVmh6eFBJdXpjRkVveTNIOE04S2RnRC1hb2pzV00yYlJ5dnVPazBiUi1XUFdoSW9TRWNKTkVKd3Q5WExBZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fiverr.com%2Fusers%2Fdanhook6&v=ZBwoPGFIPIwOr if you fancy checking out my Fiverr profile, click here: fiverr.com/danhook669
My Rough Plan For February [authortube] Dan Hook 2022-02-04 | So, my thumbnail is far more concise than my actual plan for this month. I'm itching to get book three completed but have ultimately decided that I need to continue with Disarray first and work with the feedback I've recieved.Alongside my writing goals, I also plan on getting back into reading this month... as it's been a while since sitting down and taking time out to do so (classic excuse of "I'm far too busy to read").If you fancy buying me a cuppa or buying a signed book, visit my Ko-Fi page: ko-fi.com/danhookSign up to my newsletter and receive a FREE PDF of A Novel Idea: danhook.co.uk/my-monthly-newsletterOr check out its paperback page on Amazon:UK: amazon.co.uk/Novel-Idea-Simple-Writing-Publishing/dp/1838038922US (affiliate link): amzn.to/3FlrUQ0Twitter: twitter.com/DanHookInstagram: instagram.com/authordanhookCheckout Displaced, my debut novel:Launch Trailer found on my (this) authortube: youtube.com/watch?v=jteYWAMAZON UK: amzn.to/3dz7jbEAMAZON US: amzn.to/3g77ixBMy website: danhook.co.ukIf you fancy checking out Fiverr, feel free to use my affiliate link as it helps: youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWF4Tkc2dUtMdDJYaHIzMDhVSUE2VkxvOXh6UXxBQ3Jtc0trMnRKTTVITnREdW9hMC1VdkcyZlVBbE1DVFpIOWY1NndHNDNsNDQzU2JRakhXRGNaMDhYVmh6eFBJdXpjRkVveTNIOE04S2RnRC1hb2pzV00yYlJ5dnVPazBiUi1XUFdoSW9TRWNKTkVKd3Q5WExBZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fiverr.com%2Fusers%2Fdanhook6&v=ZBwoPGFIPIwOr if you fancy checking out my Fiverr profile, click here: fiverr.com/danhook669
