"You are probably drowning in information, so here is one more thing..." š This was truly an excellent look at thrillers.

This is really good advice but there are also types of thrillers that aren't so much about uncovering mysteries or having twists, there are also thrillers where there's no mystery about what has already happened but the tension comes from what's going to happen next.

I adore this channel. The simple, confident narration, the plentiful examples, and straightforward exposition make this easily my favorite author tube channel. I'm a Brandon Sanderson SanderFan who dabbles in stories and I'm completing my 6th novel now. :) I keep writing. If for no one else, for me.

This partnership was such a great idea ! You two are my top 2 advisers on the writing, so thanks a lot !

A good thriller is something to be treasured, something that gets me so on edge that I read on until I realize time has flown by. I gotta know that happens next!
Another wonderful and informative video.

A thriller isn't usually my cup of tea (in writing), but wow, have you two made it alluring. Too bad I'm too heavily invested in my current project to try something new, but who knows... I may add some thrillery elements and subplots! Thank you so much for another video of such amazing quality!

Thanks for making this!! I was about to outline my thriller novel and got stuck. I love reading thrillers as much as writing them!

Yes. I love the thriller genre. I'm writing my debut novel right now and that is also a thriller.
