The Writing School

At its core, Severance is about a dystopian corporate experiment that surgically divides memory, creating “Innies” and “Outies,” two versions of the same person, each unaware of the other’s existence. But the real magic of the show lies not in the sci-fi conceit, but in how it weaponizes its characters’ fractured identities to explore trauma, capitalism, and the illusion of free will.

Good writing isn’t just about telling a story—it’s about understanding why it matters. Thanos, despite being flawed, is a character built on deep personal logic. The best narratives do the same. Root your writing in motivation, question morality, and make readers think. Who’s your favorite well-written anti-hero?

Fleabag isn’t just a show—it’s a masterclass in writing with brutal honesty. Phoebe Waller-Bridge turns the camera into a confession booth, blending humor with heartbreak, revealing contradictions, and making us complicit in the chaos of her protagonist’s life. The best personal essays do the same: they invite the reader backstage, past the polished narrative, into the messy, unfiltered truth. How do you balance vulnerability and humor in your own storytelling? #fleabag #phoebewallerbridge #fleabagquotes #fleabagseason2 #hotpriest #fleabagera #fleabagmoments #fleabagvibes #fleabagedits #fleabagaesthetic #breakingthefourthwall #fleabagseries #darkhumor #feministtv #relatabletv #writersofinstagram #essaywriting #personalessays #writingcommunity #storytelling #writingtips #screenwriting #honestwriting #tvshowquotes #britishtv

What can marketers learn from novelists?👀 Novelists understand the art of immersion, taking readers on a journey. As marketers, we can learn a lot from how they use pacing, tone, and emotional beats to hook their audience and keep them engaged. Here’s how these literary principles can sharpen your marketing game. 1. Creating space for curiosity, aka pacing In novels, pacing is about where you place the tension. Great storytellers know when to speed up and when to slow down, pulling readers through moments of suspense and resolution. Dumping all your key points upfront—features, benefits, CTAs—is the fastest way to lose your audience. Open with a question, an insight, or a tension point. For example: ❌ "Introducing our new app! It tracks your habits, syncs with your calendar, and improves your productivity. Get it now!" ✅What if you could reclaim 2 hours every day without even noticing? Meet X—the tool that simplifies your schedule and helps you make time for what matters most. And yes, it syncs with your calendar. 2. Speaking to the movement, instead of the crowd aka the tone Consider Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale: its tone is dark, measured, and reflective, perfectly suited to its dystopian narrative. Contrast that with the biting humour of Douglas Adams in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy which is irreverent and playful because that’s what the story demands. Great marketing, like great writing, sounds like it was crafted for this moment and this audience. Tone is a lot about emotional resonance. What does your audience feel when they read your copy? Match your tone to their headspace, and make your words feel personal, like a conversation they’ve been waiting to have. For example: ❌ Writing is an essential skill for career success. Our course can help you improve. ✅Your ideas deserve to be heard—but how you write them determines if they will be. Learn to write with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Start with us. 3. Tapping into emotion Every great novel has moments that pull at your heartstrings or challenge your beliefs. These emotional beats create a bond between the reader and the story. In marketing, emotional beats are what drive action. People buy into emotions first, logic second. The key is to pinpoint the universal truth behind your product or service. What’s the deeper transformation you’re offering? Speak to the audience’s aspirations and fears. For example: ❌ Our tool has advanced analytics and customizable dashboards. ✅Don’t just track your progress. Understand it. With insights tailored to you, find clarity in your data and take the next step with confidence. #writingcommunity #storytelling #contentmarketing #marketingstrategy #novelwriting #creativewriting #branding #writerslife #authorlife #publishingtips

The novel takes us back to 1870s England, yet its reflections on power, privilege, beauty, and womanhood feel eerily relevant today. Great writing doesn’t age—it mirrors every era.

Info-dumping can weigh down your story, making it feel more like a textbook than an engaging read. Readers don’t want pages of exposition—they want to experience the world and characters naturally.
