Such a sweet story! It’s kinda cool how something that can be such a hassle for one person can be a dream come true for another.

@relia

He sounds like such a cool character!

Although it doesn’t happened all the time, I love it when I see or meet someone who seems straight out of a fictional world. Everything about them is so…[Read more]

@joy-caroline I’ve also always wanted to go the traditional route. And right now I still do, although I’m doing a variety of other things. I’ve been working on trying to make an online presence on some web serial platforms, and this summer I also want to experiment with Kindle Direct Publishing. All this, of course, is so that I can hopefully get…[Read more]

@relia I’m stuck somewhere between the two…when I’m planning it I’m the evil author type, but when I’m actually doing it I get kinda teary…

@abigail-m Very much looking for an opportunity every chance I get. It’s just too good to pass up.

@lewilliams I’m with Kathleen on villainous ice cream trucks. You should definitely include it in a story. Like, where do ice cream trucks even come from? Are they even stoppable?

@relia Ah, yes, I’ve done this myself several times. It’s awesome,…[Read more]

@typewriter77 From the posts I’ve seen about how to pick locks or shoplift at the beginning whoever wrote it always puts a huge disclaimer that these tips are for writing purposes only and not for in real life.

I myself am usually too lazy to go into detail about anything, lest I mess any details up, or, perhaps, accidentally teach someone how to…[Read more]

@typewriter77 A lot of those themes seem to work, in my opinion! God’s Justice vs Man’s Justice I’m not sure could be written in just a short story…maybe a longer work. Courage, trust, and Truth vs Deception could be in any work, I think, and Sin & Salvation as well as Loving Enemies both propose great story premises.

Good luck!

@typewriter77 Hmm…I would say it is possible, since a lot of anime and manga are based off of Japanese light novels.

Both of those projects sound awesome! I’d love to hear more about them in the future!

I think I’ve read the first book of the Ascendance series. It was pretty good. And I’ve yet to watch either of those movies, but I should p…[Read more]

@relia I’m waiting till I finish most of my series to edit…or maybe all of it (probably because I hate editing) but also in future books I might decide to change things that happen in previous books so when I go back to rewrite or whatever I can change accordingly. Also because my writing improves the more I write.

@kathleenramm It was one of those homeschool minivans, which is lowkey funny to me. That would make a great device, as well as a way to introduce a character.

@devastate-lasting

Oh, wow. What kind of car was that? If you do end up writing this into a story I bet you could make up some really cool explanation, like… alien car, fairy car, super-high-tech-rich-guy’s car, I don’t know. XD

But I can imagine it being a really fun scene.

@lewilliams

Haha! It would would be really fun to write about a…[Read more]

@lewilliams Ah, yes, books. Also something I’ve been struggling with lately. But I’d be glad to give you some reccs of books that I love! Although, I have to warn you…lately I haven’t been able to stomach anything other than classic lit, so maybe a lot of these books will have the same flavor as the things that you read for your college…[Read more]

@relia Another job, because I feel like maybe, just maybe if I had to do writing as work then I might hate it.

@typewriter77 Hi Seth! Nice to meet you! I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin. I also write fantasy and contemporary, as well as crime and now occasionally some dystopian and maybe eastern fantasy. I haven’t met anyone who’s written Wuxia before! I do love reading some of them. Might I ask if you’re an anime fan? You seem like the type.

Do…[Read more]

@kathleenramm That’s such a fun story!

Other than people that would make good characters…

On the first day of one of my classes this year I was heading in doors to the place where we hold our co-op, and anyways, while I was still outside in the parking lot, this car just drove by in front of my, crunching this safety cone (which are…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Awesome! Good luck with the rest of it!

@nanisnook

Yeah, I get what you mean. Almost anything can be easier or harder depending on the situation.

Have you ever based characters on other people in your life?

@sami-eastwood That synopsis sounds awesome! I would love to read a book about that!

Disaster movies are certainly unique. I don’t usually go to watch them but I have watched several. And those are an awesome choice of books!

Ah, I’ve heard of ranch dressing on pizza, though I have yet to try it! I will have to, though!

@nanisnook I usually end up procrastinating for a week and regretting it, but yeah I usually push on through instead of skipping around.
