Anatra replied to the topic What's a Genre or form of writing you used to dislike, but now enjoy? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 2 months ago
I was so particular about the things I read. I would only ever read fantasy, comic books, and I loved little stories like Aesop’s Fables. But it was only until I was like, twelve when I gave other books a chance.
I strongly disliked historical fiction, poetry, classics(with the exception of Laura Ingalls Wilder), especially…[Read more]

Dont worry, I’ll listen for myself and try for my own opinion, tho others opinions are helpful.
Thank you for the advice. I’ll try for a wide variety to get a good feel.

@scripter-of-kingdomsa
Tales of Ba Sing Se is one of my favorites. But, how could I not put The Cave of Two Lovers on my list. Oh, and The Blind Bandit. The Library, Appa’s Lost Days, The Headband, Nightmares and Daydreams, and, must never forget, The Ember Island Plays. Don’t think I remembered all those names, (I had to look some up) but that…[Read more]

*air hugs cuz recently had covid* IT’S GREAT HAHAHA
Yea, I enjoy the challenge. It’s finding time. I gotta tell myself repeatedly to do Korean cuz sometimes I’d rather be doing this, or spending time with family, or maybe I’m behind in school, and have to pick up the pace with that.
I will definitely  check out those…[Read more]

*Excitedly immediately slaps hands on high ten* IKR?!?!!?!?!?!
I still have at least half a dozen questions for my Korean teacher, and I just took a lesson Tuesday. Absolutely everything raises questions.
About the K-pop thing. Introduce me to her or him and then I’ll decide lol. I haven’t experienced K-pop yet, really.…[Read more]

OH MY GOODNESS NO WAY I love Korean! I had no idea! Tho sometimes my teacher, who is also my piano teacher, my employer, and a friend of mine(its a complicated relationship) is a little strict. However, I would prefer that any day to a teacher who lets me slack. I only started learning a few months ago, but I can read and…[Read more]

Oh boy, that’s frightening. (The anaphylactic attack, not the book series, tho writing a second book’s beginning can be scary as well.)
Writer’s block has struck, tho I assume it’s only temporary(I have a feeling). I’ve been pretty busy, what with school, piano, Korean, babysitting, and family, but my brother who lives with…[Read more]

Ah, yes. The cactus juice. Giant friendly mushroom cloud. I noticed in my most recent re-watch of the series, every time Sokka is delusional, or he’s just wild, he blames Momo for absolutely everything. Poor lil Momo.
Korra ain’t great, but season four has it’s moments. LOL all you need is to hear things abt the movie. I…[Read more]

<3 Exactly. I’ve most recently realized just how much of me I’ve written into the lives of my characters. Lol it seems narcistic, but it’s coping.

This is good for me to read, and especially good for me to read when writers block hits. Lol I’ve been there. Priorities get me so stressed.
Recently, I looked back at my writing from a year ago and basically said to myself, “aww that’s cute. She tried.” I took me quite a while to fix some mistakes xD

The premise is basically: Special boy and girl independently strike out from all they’ve ever known, and discover they’re needed to save what they previously left, and the future they were hoping for.(via defeating classic bad guy)
I promise, it’s not as corny as it seems in text, lol.
I haven’t really considered what made me…[Read more]

wow I can totally see this as a Dwayne Johnson thriller from the early 2000’s XD
It was fun to read! I like the idea of putting a kid in there. And I can totally see the sarcastic comic relief coming from Kirk at times.
Also, took me a minute, but Morse code, 10/10

I wish what you said abt your siblings and working together would apply to mine, lol. We sit down to get something done, ten minutes later, it’s a mashed potato war, and an arm wrestling match.
The feeling I felt most prominently in writing my first novel was exhaustion. I had been typing for most of the day, and around eight at…[Read more]

Good topic(totally saw it earlier, lol). Liking the growth I can already see happening in your characters through the lies.
First lie: my character believes this one; his parents are preoccupied and can’t show him the affection he wants and needs. My character is separated from his family and tells himself these lies to justify…[Read more]
