@lydia-s Any other books you’ve read lately? Or any other classic lit you enjoy?

@trahia-the-minstrel

Yuh, sibling relationships ftw. When is a story not better with a sibling, or sibling-like relationship?

Since it’s your favorite, how many sibling duos have you written, and do you have a favorite one you’ve written?

@overcomer

Yeah, there definitely is something special with brother friendships.

Maybe because it’s rarer…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I like master/servant relationships, maybe like young lady and her butler, or something similar. Or I like the idiotic duo who share one brain cell. That’s just really fun to see.

What’s Your Favorite Relationship Type in Fiction?
For me it would be sibling relationships. Maybe it’s because I have a lot of siblings, but I feel like there’s this unique built-in connection between sibling relationships that other relationships don’t have.

There can be a lot of diverse and interesting dynamics between siblings. They could be…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Does writing energize or exhaust you? Or both? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 8 months ago

@kathleenramm Hmm unless you count the time I couldn’t fall asleep from like midnight to two in the morning because I kept getting writing ideas to jot down haha. That was pretty energizing.

@devastate-lasting

You definitely did not see my profile picture on Pinterest, where I definitely did not get it from. My profile 110% very unique and original. 🙂

It seems like most people get drained from writing. Has there ever been an exception for you? Like a certain chapter that made you excited and energized at…[Read more]

@keilah-h Nice! How many fanfictions have you written?

@lydia-s Yess I read Jane Eyre back in high school and I really liked it! Jane is a big mood.

@kathleenramm Boi, your profile picture sure looks familiar, although a tad bluer haha.

I think writing will always drain me. I don’t think I’ve ever walked away from writing without feeling a little more tired than before. Unless I’m in the middle of a load of homework and I needed to write a paragraph or something as a pick-me-up or a…[Read more]

Does writing energize or exhaust you? Or both?
Well, for me, both. If ideas are flowing, plot lines connecting, and character’s developing, then I get really excited and end up unable to fall asleep until 2 a.m.

However, if ideas are absent, plot lines clashing, and characters are not working, then I end up like a complete tired mess from…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel Nice snippet! Love the dialogue!

@annabelle Fantasy is a good genre! Hope you have fun with it!

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Writer's Corner #505 in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 9 months ago

@karissa-chmil Thank you! It looks so beautiful!

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Writer's Corner #505 in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 9 months ago

@annabelle My current projects are all fantasy, haha, but I also dabble in slice of life, crime, among other genres. I want to give them all a try!

What about you?

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Writer's Corner #505 in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 9 months ago

@annabelle I’m working on two long series, one of which is for a contest, a dark fantasy standalone novel, and right now a short story for the KP forest contest haha. It’s a bit much.

@karissa-chmil Ey, that sounds great, Karissa! What’s your blog?

@lavenderbookling Welcome, welcome. Sit down and have some tea? *offers cookies*

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Writer's Corner #505 in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 9 months ago

@annabelle Yeah, you can talk about anything!

Wow, congratulations on your author spotlight! It looks quite interesting!

As someone who is also juggling several projects, I relate. Which one is your favorite story to work on right now?

Ah, I’ve always gotten emails from YWW, but never could bring myself to join. But I’m planning on taking some…[Read more]

Hello, one and all! For those of you who are newer, we used to have some topics called “Writer’s Corner” or something like that, but I’m far too lazy to search for the previous ones or consult how many of these we have been through, so we can just start a new one.

This thread is just a place for off-topic chats, where we can talk about our day or…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What come to you first? Plot or Characters? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 9 months ago

@kathleenramm I’d say both. Sometimes I have names and character ideas and I want to flesh out a plot around them; other times I have a plot idea and I make up quick characters to fill in the blanks. But if I had to choose one, it’s most likely characters first.

Kathleen started the topic What come to you first? Plot or Characters? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 9 months ago

What come to you first? Plot or Characters?
For me, honestly it’s both. Sometimes a cool character comes to me sometimes a cool plot.

However, that’s a bit of a cop-out answer so I’ll say what most commonly comes to me. And that would be plot ideas. When fleshing out a story idea I always focus on characters, however, the basic premise of the…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Some questions about characters in the forum Characters 2 years, 9 months ago

@keilah-h

1. Plenty.

2. For any of them probably just number 4.

3. Worst, like, most evil or worst written? I feel like I’ve read/watched a lot of awful villains, but I can’t really think off the top of my head the most evil.

4. A lot, haha, but then I warp them enough that no one can recognise them.
