Best Literature & writing craft Videos
「Literature & writing craft」下面有43部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象:入门2部,适合还没学过的人;进阶0部,适合已经懂术语的人;普通向41部,按兴趣就能看;更硬的0部,留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是视频,所以它们的共同点是主题相同,但讲法各不相同,要看标题和说明才能分辨。常出现的频道包括UChicago Social Sciences、Manufacturing Intellect、Talks at Google。目录给这个主题划的范围是:Writing and books: authors, Stephen King, George R.R. Martin, writing advice, poetry, book discussions, science fiction, storytelling technique, publishing, author interviews.如果只看三部,就从《LEADERSHIP LAB: The Craft of Writing Effectively》开始,它负责把问题讲出画面;然后看《The Egg - A Short Story》,换一种讲法或例子;最后看《DOUGLAS ADAMS: Parrots, the Universe and Everything》,留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开,顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月,不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明,用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看,把引用当成只是拿来举例,把批评留下来对照,不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。
