Nov. 26th: Writing Advice (And Notes on Surnameless Tiffany)

UPDATE: THERE IS NO LONGER A NEED TO SEARCH FOR TIFFANY! In which John gives advice to young, aspiring writers. He also discusses Tiffany with no last name (who, if you were to somehow find her, John would repay you handsomely). No scavenger hunt clue today, Nerdfighters (too much paper towns!), but–not to sound like a broken record–you can feel free to devote your scavenger-hunting energies to Tiffany the surnameless horse lover.

    the title of the second story is “if i could”

    “That’s not much to go on.” “That’s nothing to go on.” that was what i thought for at 1:30 (or around it)

    I am very tempted to try and write a story that begins with hating foxes and ends with no one liking me…

  5. GentlePoet1984 says:

    Congrats on finding Tiffany I would like to find Jennifer from Hawaii who moved when I was five. Best buddies and first heartache and a foreshadowing for more.

    Lying and fiction there is a real connection thanks for the connection. Great short story storming in my brain

  7. Rinnumuru says:

    I too was once an 8-year old pathological liar. Nowadays, I prefer writing stories. There must be a connection here.

    I quite liked the elf story xD I mean, an elf appeared and it’s the least important thing in the story, if that is not innovative hten I don’t know what is. John, you were a visionary.

    “If I could be a noisy bunny… well, I’d just hop and skip along.”
    That’s deep, bro.

    My name is Tiffany. Too bad I’m 19 and not some 30ish year old woman who once dated John Green.

  11. faerie1987 says:

    for those more recent posters, read through all comments, control F to find tiffany in comments. someone that used to be a counselor posted to him to email them about it.

    Hank and John,
    Eagle’s Nest Foundation (the camp and the Outdoor Academy) have absolutely changed my life. Through Eagle’s Nest I really came into myself as a person, and myself as who I WANT to be. Eagle’s Nest has brought me endless amounts of joy and friendship, and I truly believe that it has shaped me more than my parents or peers ever could. Knowing that it is also part of Nerdfighteria really helps me know I’ve found my place. Thank you for that.

    P.S. Do you remember your tribes?

    @robrox0009 Everyone started calling the camp that John went to in an attempt to find Tiffany, but no one could actually get an answer seeing how a camp isn’t going to randomly give out information about a kid who went to the camp twentyish years ago. So I think that might have been why he told everyone to stop searching, but maybe someone actually found her. If so, I don’t think we heard about it, although I might be wrong.

  14. MadameBerry says:

    After watching John’s videos, my writing has inexplicably gotten better overnight. It’s magic.

  15. robrox0009 says:

    I’m sorry, but I NEED an update on Tiffany. can somebody tell me why we have no need to search for her?? The answerer definitely never forgets to be awesome.

    “Give me MORE ELF!!!”

    Yes, we all need a little more elf in our lives!
    DFTBA

    “I really think that reading is just as important as writing when you’re trying to be a writer because it’s the only apprenticeship we have —the only way of learning HOW to write a story.” -John Green

    FINALLY! SOMEBODY WHO UNDERSTANDS!

  18. IsGoingMadd says:

    We need more elfbell.

  19. NanaV73 says:

    We probably saw John blinking more in this video than in every other one of his videos combined. =)

  20. SarahCuda14 says:

    Am I the only one who finds the noisy bunny story incredibly profound?

  21. ircuteskitty says:

    @MiracleofaSong the warriors were amazing 8D

  22. randobanana says:

    My first book was CATDOG hot day, and at five years old, it was about a dog and cat taking a magical jeep to the desert so they can kill eveil cactuses and dance with the tahota indians. go nerdy kids!

  23. randobanana says:

    halfway through this video, i emailed my friend tiffany: TIFF!! urgent. do you like horses? how old are you? i stopped counting a while back. did you date a nerdfighter ten year old at some summer camp in 1887?
    -
    yeah. 1887.

  24. MiracleofaSong says:

    When I was small I wrote fanfiction about Spyro the Dragon, Rayman, Neopets and Warriors (by Erin Hunter). I don’t recall the very first story. Thank you for bringing up those memories.
