@calidris Yess it’s always like that for me even though I dictate the outline they still do their own thing in each scene. And at this point the depressing endings are plentiful.

Yep, my characters are all their own beings now. I rarely plot them beforehand, and sometimes I’m surprised by how different than I thought they would be.

@calidris Samee I feel your pain. Usually I just make it up as I go along and don’t plot anything. It’s a ride.

@calidris Oh wow! That is really creative! Is it possible to go through the Veil?

@calidris

I 100% mean what I said! Your art is amazing!

Yeah, I do art too! Last year I challenged myself to draw a sketch a day for a year, so my art improved a lot last year. However this year has been it bit harder to draw since I’m trying to get my drivers license, acting in plays, plus trying to improve my YouTubing skills, oh and of course…[Read more]

My jaw literally dropped when the image loaded on my screen.

The character design is so unique and the colors and blending is gorgeous. Everything from the eyes hair and clothing is perfect.

Do you use colored pencils or pastels?

@kathleenramm YO ERASED I have all the manga it’s the first manga I bought it’s so good it just brings tears to my eyes—

@calidris Oo, a mining museum! That sounds pretty cool.

Hmm okay. Then I’ll give you a variety of genres. Your lie in April is a really beautiful anime about music. I really enjoyed A Silent Voice manga as well, and the a…[Read more]

Hey! Welcome to the forum! It’s awesome to have you here.

I’m Kathleen, and I live most of my life in fictional worlds rather than in reality. May not be the best decision, but at least I can come up with a bunch of cool story ideas. XD

I’ve heard a lot of good things about Haikyu, but haven’t watched it. As of now, probably my…[Read more]

@calidris Give me some genres you like, and I’ll recc you some anime, heh. There’s a lot of different stuff out there.

Yee, I have a ton of current projects. Yesterday I just started a short story about alter egos and reality. And, yeah, I totally get having everything in your head. I used to be like that too.

I love Interstellar as well! And I…[Read more]

@calidris Oh my word someone else who watches anime! I haven’t watched Haikyu before but I know a lot of people like it.

Yo, your WIP sounds so cool! I love like modern fantasy type of things. It’s what I write too. I would love to hear more about Spire!

Anyways, I’m Linyang, a lot of people here call me Lin, I like writing fantasy, crime,…[Read more]

@kathleenramm About five or six years ago I started writing it. Stories, hmm…maybe it’s been a decade. It’s been a long time, ha…

@nova21

I love hearing what movies or books inspired writers to write their own stories. It’s so fun to see one person’s story inspire another story that possibly will inspire yet another person’s story. XD

It’s really cool how you were able to take all of your favorite things about stories and make them into your own story.

Have you ever…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

That’s really cool how it started off as a world you wanted to escape to. It kinda makes me want to do the same.

I feel like it would be really fun, but also could be really cathartic and make an interesting story with all the freedom for imagination.

How long ago did you start making the stories?

@keilah-h

With each…[Read more]

@zatara

Hey, sorry about the late welcome, but WELCOME anyway!  I’m Ella, I write dystopian/thriller/suspense/mystery/post-apocalyptic/YA novels.  I love myself a good mystery/thriller book on a rainy day with a cup of tea, if I’m in the mood.  If I’m not, I’m most likely in the gym or playing basketball or hanging with friends.  And writing is…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Thanks!  Well, i always had the idea for Hope’s character in the back of my head, but watching the Will Smith movie, I Am Legend inspired me to expand the plot.  That movie, paired with Interstellar really sealed the bill for me. XD  I love complex plots, high stakes, and characters searching for family/romance, so this story is b…[Read more]

@kathleenramm This is actually the sequel of a sequel of a spinoff for my original idea for Thirteen Ways, ha… It started out with me wanting to make a world where I could escape to, and gradually I just added on, and on, and on… And now, thankfully, I’ve run out of ideas for it.

@daisy-torres

So cool! This really made me want to read the book.

@nova21

That sounds really interesting! The world where anyone could be insane is so cool and works so well with the MC’s desire for family. It sets up a really clear desire vs fear.

Where did you get the idea for Spirals?

@devastate-lasting

I really love these kind of simple yet really intriguing premises. I tend to overcomplicate things in…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I’m gonna use the current arc of Thirteen Ways since the stakes are the clearest. Basic premise: they need to gather ingredients for a spell to vanquish a demon. If they don’t, then some friends and family are lost forever to the demon.

In order to collect the ingredients, they must defeat the guardians of some of the ingredients.…[Read more]

@akbaer

Tbh, i feel like every era was just plain bad. XD  Maybe i’d go back to the eighties and nineties to jam out and crowdsurf XDDD  Not a super intelligent answer, but that’s what I’d do:)

@power

I LOVE geometry too!
