What is Tone In Writing?

I was writing my third cozy mystery and I was having an incredibly difficult time doing it. My mother was dying of dementia and indeed, passed one month later. A couple of weeks later I got COVID. I decided to just stop and rest, give myself time to grieve and time to heal. When I came back to my writing I wrote my mother into my novel and the tone changed dramatically. My husband said it was the best writing I had ever done.

Years ago, I went to one of your conferences. It was awesome and help me a lot. I write for the pleasure of writing. I discovered I communicate better through my writing. You have been an inspiration to me. A very helpful video. Thank you.

This is a really good point. I don't think I've heard it put into words this clearly before.

Love it. No tears writer no tears reader .thanks.jerry

The examples and simplicity of this was extremely clear and most helpful.

Thanks, Jerry!

I find it hard to write in different tones, i think. They are all quite similar. This does definitely help! I appreciate your channel so much. You word things so clearly and the examples you give are gold.

Your videos are great. You keep it simple and to the point.

Jerry, I thoroughly enjoy your teaching approach to writing. I wish you had been a professor in my literature classes in college. It may have laid the keystone to a writing career many years ago. Thanks for the continued encouragement to those of us who enjoy the written word.

Over many years I've been through a TON of writing videos, help books, advice channels, masterclasses, you name it. The videos on this channel are gold. I subscribed after the first one I came across (which I don't even remember now because I've been binging all of them). You give such clear and effective advice that's not generic. Too much novel advice comes in the form of very vague, sort of catchall terms that seem obvious. Yours has substance and you can tell that you really enjoy sharing your knowledge and experience. Thank you SO much for this channel! Now if anyone needs me I'll be off buying several of your books...

Mr. Jenkins, I just wanna say you, Abbie Emmons, Jenna Moreci, Jerry Jenkins, and the rest of my favorite authors and youtubers have helped and inspired me so much. Love y'all great writing mentors so much 💗

I just found you yesterday and I am so excited with everything you have to share. Thank you!

I've heard about writing for years, heard many people talk about tone but you explain it in a way that makes all the sense in the world and the pieces fall into place. Thank you.

Good to see you here Jerry!

Thank you for sharing this! It means a lot.

Very helpful! I look to become even better with my writing.

I’m a new children’s author and some of this may not apply but I adore you! For a successful author you are a magnificent speaker ❤

Thank you so much for this video. So many things to think about now

These lessons are so new to me, I know my writing is going to flourish under your guidance and generous information! I wasn't building on a solid enough foundation until now!!

These videos are a great class in writing
