This is a YouTube video titled "The honest answer to 'Is my writing good?'" containing a monologue or talk from September 30, 2024, discussing the subjective nature of writing quality and emphasizing effectiveness over traditional notions of good or bad writing, particularly referencing the romance genre. The content features a single speaker sharing insights on writing success.
People that go through our writing program ship 30 for 30 is a great example. I notice all the time people want to know is my writing good? And I always tell them it doesn't matter if I think it's good or not because I might not be your ideal reader. Good and bad are subjective. Your goal is for your writing to be effective in helping or entertaining a specific type of person, and if you're able to do that, then you're accomplishing your goal. The romance category is an amazing example of this. A lot of times, admittedly myself included, but a lot of times writers will look at the romance category and go, that writing is so bad. But the reality is those romance writers are raking it in and their readers love their work and their readers will read the shit out of whatever they publish. So it really doesn't matter if I think the writing is good or bad. The writing is very, very effective, and that's the only measure for success.
