@kathleenramm Great idea! Though be warned; my list will probably mostly consist of manga, with a classic book once in a while. Hopefully this might spark up my love for reading again, haha…

@gracie-j Ah, yes. I feel you. I may live up North, but being a second-gen immigrant, I’ve never really felt that strongly about the civil war. However, I…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

I got you, thanks so much!! 😉

@annika-c

I just got the book from the library! Looking forward to reading it.

@nova21 I really out of touch with poetry right now, so I can’t really say much, but I liked it a lot!

@gracie-j

Thank you so much!  Typos… 😒  And punctuation has never been my friend.  Thank you for the advice!

@kathleenramm

Yeah, I know what you mean.  That’s an interesting thought–I’ve never really paid attention to authors’ favoritism.  I’ll have to think about it.  I feel like I’ve read that kinda thing before though, and I’ve definitely written it!! 😂

@nova21

Oof, yes. XD I know those characters far too well.  Have you ever read a book with a character that you had a sneaking suspicion was the author’s favorite character? I feel like the try-hard comic relief characters are often those characters, but since the author likes the character so much they’re oblivious to it. XD Not sure if you’ve c…[Read more]

@gracie-j I thought it was super sad ahh. Every time I flipped the page it just got worse and worse…but it was written really well and I enjoyed it a lot.

Merry Christmas to you as well!

@gracie-j I just wanted to let you know I finally finished Gone With the Wind.

I-I can’t think right now. I’ll sort my thoughts out tomorrow ahhh.

@kathleenramm

Definitely.  On a slightly different note, I hate it when people write comic relief characters who are so try-hard!! 😄 I almost put the book down (e.g. Uriah in the Divergent series–I liked him in the first book, but in the last two, he was super cringy)  Anyways, it’s interesting to see how so many writers (most of the time) s…[Read more]

@nova21

I think what you mentioned right there is the epitome of writing. Most likely all writers at one point or another write about situations we have no experience ever doing but write about it as if we did it just that morning. XD And it’s totally prevalent when writing banter between two characters wholly different from you. Their…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I struggle with everything everyone else has mentioned, but I always have the hardest time trying to make friendly banter between two characters.  Since I write in a different setting than real life, I can’t use the banter between me and my friends as inspiration.  (It’s also mostly cheesy stuff anyways. 🙂 ) So yeah, I’ll be w…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Is it bad that I’ve never written romance in any form before? I love creating deep, meaningful, and complicated relationships, but never romance. Probably because I don’t read romance often, and I’m only seventeen so romance isn’t something I think about, like, ever. XD

But I can see how writing romance would be difficult.…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Yeah, I get it.  Characters like that are hard, but I love to read and write them!!
