I like that quote–and that the poem made you think!
I’m glad you relate to this poem! While I didn’t write it about a situation like you’re describing, I think it’s cool that it has a few different interpretations. In fact, everyone I have shown it to has thought it meant what you’re describing. So maybe I’m good at…[Read more]

@anatra23 aw thanks! Yeah, it’s actually a nickname from my bestie, and I’m glad you like her 😉
I am hoping to do lots of variety, but I’m still figuring out what I wanna do first and how the website works hahaha

@anatra23 Sounds perfect (google docs would work better for me 😛) Haha, ofc. XD Yeah, same here! I’ve toooootally fallen in love with secondary characters multiple times. XD
I’ll send my email in a separate reply and then once you’ve seen it I’ll delete that reply if that’s ok with you. Just don’t want the whole wide internet knowing my email XD -

@anatra23 I know! It’s so true… when I showed my poetry that day I found myself wishing I could take the words back.

Kads replied to the topic Why do you write? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 2 months ago
@anatra23 Oh my word… the thing you said about your world crumbling… it’s true. I feel the exact same way. I showed some of my poetry to my best friend and felt terrible about it afterwards because that stuff takes a good look at things I think about, things in my mind, haha.
Yepppp. Mind-wandering is the best part of getting ideas!

Bethany replied to the topic Salvete scriptores! in the forum Start HERE 3 years, 2 months ago
Yep, ancient history is so cool! Most of my fantasy cultures are based on ancient or classical cultures. I just like the aesthetics better than any other time period.
Ooh, hmm, I get ideas from history all the time. Mostly it’s an interesting person I’d love to base a character off of, or some cultural or worldview conflict I could…[Read more]

Yeah, I heard there are a lot of love triangles in Korra and that Korra herself is not as strong of a character as…anybody in ATLA lol. I’m guessing the answer is no, but is it possible to start watching Korra in season 2, or even season 4?
Who are your favorite ATLA characters? Mine are Wan Shi Tong (yeah, I know he’s obscure but I…[Read more]

I loved first person POV, just it being in present tense bothered me for quite a while. I can’t remember which books I read that were present tense or past tense first person POV. XD I know that Hunger Games was one of them. And maybe Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer? And Summer Blue Bird by Akemi Bird Blue? Oh, also 100 days of…[Read more]

Yeah, I had the exact same experience with books I had to read that were part of a school curriculum. Still to this day they…[Read more]

I have only ever read the first book in Percy Jackson series and that’s it. I know that’s probably not a good judge for the whole series, I really don’t care for the Greek mythology at all, which is the whole point of the series, right? Exploring Greek Mythology in the modern times and all that? I’m sorry. I feel bad for not liking it…[Read more]

Present tense first person is definitely special, haha. I 100% get it why a bunch of people would dislike it. But it can work really well in the story it’s in cause I don’t even notice it anymore once I’m past the first page now.
Also I am the only one here who disliked Percy Jackson? *hides*

Hey Kathleen! I really like Trench too. The whole DEMA lore is so cool. I honestly think there should be a movie, or at least a book.
That is so cool about your sister! Small world huh?
I definitely prefer the more cultural and personal side to history. But anytime I crack open my history textbook, I get so many ideas for plots…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What was it like writing your first novel? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 2 months ago
My favorite characters from ATLA would be Toph, Zuko, and Sokka.
Sokka is so much like one of my brothers it’s freaky. Even he agrees haha.
All those episodes are amazing! Every episode in Ba Sing Se is golden.
The movie is hilariously bad. Those earth benders had to do a full yoga routine to throw a pebble. XD

I’m just reading though this now, and fsr it makes me laugh. It sounds just a little bit ridiculous on paper.
I have the first book in it’s fourth or third editing draft, so it’s nearly complete. The second book is in it’s second or third draft and the third is in it’s first, just past the idea stage.
Wow, no, this sounds AMAZING!!! I seriously think this is awesome!!! I love this plot. Can I know more about the characters????? I’m seriously intrigued now!!! And can I beta for you when it’s done (if you’re ok with that??) 😀
Sorry it took so long to respond.
Lol, if you won’t up and run at my writing style, you can read it anytime!
Have you done any character personalization charts? (Idk what they’re called officially.) Basically filling in a personality template for your OC.

Lol, thank you for not judging my names. Also idk why I make nearly all my side characters more likeable than my protagonists, it just always ends up happening somehow XD
