Wow! You definitely take the crown as the person that started writing the earliest!

What were some of the stories your mom dictated about?

@merieshenanigans Ah thank you!

@merieshenanigans I use a platform called Webnovel XD Also known as QiDian International.

@kathleenramm Sure thing! Here’s the link!

@merieshenanigans

Ah yes, one of the most frustrating things about having an unfinished story are the characters’ incomplete arcs.

For me, it almost feels like the character is never at peace until the book is finished. Stuck in a bad state of mind, or believing some lie, and the only way I can help them out is to write and finish Their arc a…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I published a short story a few months ago, and am currently working on a longer work.

@devastate-lasting

That’s cool! Have you published one of your webnovels online yet, or are you still in the process of writing it?

@kathleenramm Truth be told, I am rather new to the business of writing webnovels. It’s very popular in Asia, an easy way for writers to get their writings online. From what I’ve seen webnovels are generally serialized daily by chapter, each usually a first draft, which usually makes them lower in quality than a traditional novel. Each chapter is…[Read more]

I really like the idea of working on three projects at a time. That way, whatever you work on it feels fresh and new.

How do you write web-novels? And how much different is it than writing traditional novels?

@kathleenramm Recently I’ve gotten into review swaps on one of those webnovel sites, and it’s been pretty good for my motivation. Now I really want to go work on my projects.

Essentially I am constantly working on three projects at a time: my main stuff, which is handwritten; a webnovel; and working on typing and redrafting what I have already…[Read more]

@michelle

Same! Science fiction is the genre that I would like to write a novel in but haven’t written in yet.

Mixing sci-fi with fantasy sounds really cool! There are endless cool story ideas that can come out of that combination of genres. But yeah, I’m on the same boat as you and haven’t yet thought of a plot idea.XD

@r-m-archer

Steampunk has always intrigued me as well!

Although I don’t think I’ve ever read a book that was Steampunk. Have you read any Steampunk books that are good?

@kathleenramm Probably the former. I once had a short story idea for the Great Chicago Fire of 1873, but I managed to incorporate that into fantasy.

@devastate-lasting

Yes, the research is very intimidating.

When you do write a historical fiction novel will you just have it take place in a certain time period, or will you base it after an historical event?

@morwen

I’ve finished the LotR just a couple of days ago, and I’m happy to say that you do not have to worry about me ever disagreeing with your statement.  XD

You’re good at naming characters?!?!?! Oh my yes! I need help!

I’ve been stuck with a character named Barrett. I very much dislike the name, (sorry to all the Barretts out there), but…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I think it would be historical fiction.

There’s a lot of aesthetics/time periods that I really like, (1920’s, 1930’s, 1870’s) but I guess the reason why I haven’t is because there’s just too much research to do.

Maybe one day! Who knows!

@morwen Do you have any other hobbies?

@warrenluther04 Nice! A lot of people I know think that anime is ugly, but I think they’re looking in the wrong time period.

Do you have any other pets besides your dog?

@morwen Legolas is indeed cool. Since you know so much about LOTR, might I ask you, is Legolas’s hair brown or blonde?

Also, what other books do you like?
