Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What's the harshest critique you've ever received about your writing? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 2 months ago
@kathleenramm Probably someone said that the ending to one of my novellas was contrived. Lol. Maybe it was, since I was making it up as I went along. The person had reviewed one of my short stories favorablely, though, so probably I just need to work more on editing.

What’s the harshest or most honest critique you’ve ever received about your writing?
Now, I have a hard time getting raw honest feedback, because most of the people I hang around with (aka my siblings) are super nice.
But I really wanted honest feedback on my writing. So what I did was have someone on the KP team critique one of my short stories,…[Read more] -

@maryg3 Hey, awesome! I’d love to read it, but unfortunately I don’t like putting my email out in public places. Could you perhaps make a Google form or something for us to input our emails into? That’s what I would do, anyways.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Add new ideas in now or later? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 2 months ago
1. To be honest whenever I come up with new ideas I just add them halfway through and then later go back and add them in the beginning. Saves a bit of time.
2. Totally! Usually my chapters are 6 and a half pages, sometimes they’re 13.

Hi! It’s awesome to have you here!
I love TOP as well! My favorite album from them would probably be Trench. Fun fact, my family used to live in Ohio and my sister went to school with Tyler and Joseph from TOP for a few years.
She remembers passing them in the hall but they were never friends. When I was little I remember her…[Read more]

Hi! It’s wonderful to meet you!
I have to agree with Lin on your question about what makes a good book. If the author doesn’t set up a world or characters or story that doesn’t make you feel anything meaningful, then I don’t really see the point.
As for passions for a full time career… Honestly I have no idea, haha. I’m just always…[Read more]

Hey @madelyn ! I’m Ella, and I’m an ENFP-T too! XD I know, KP was like finding a diamond, it’s so amazing. <33
I LOVE art! Especially drawing flowers. I do a lot of concept art for my books too.
What’s your favorite genre of music? I like r&b and hip/hop.
What’s your WIP about? Mine is about a spy, and that’s pretty much all I know rn X…[Read more]

Hey Bethany!!! (I’m on SE too, but KP is def more active.) Nice to meet you, I see you’re a lover of Latin! I’m taking Latin 4 this year which should be fun. A little about me: I write dystopian, spy, thriller/suspense books. I’m an ENFP and my favorite music is r&b and hip/hop.  I go to a classical Christian school, which s…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Tense Choices in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 2 months ago
@sparrowhawke Yee a lot of classics use first person peripheral, actually! For another work I was debating between first and third and finally settled on first person peripheral. Pretty happy I did.

@sparrowhawke Greetings! I remember Blimey Cow vaguely from years past, but since a while ago I have not watched them. Twenty One Pilots I do love, as well as The Emporer’s New Groove.
Your name sounds familiar; are you on Story Embers as well?

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Tense Choices in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 2 months ago
@sparrowhawke I am a big believer and an astute follower of third person past. First person only occasionally, and always in past tense. Sometimes second. Been trying out peripheral first lately. But yeah, no, I don’t like first person present.

@madelyn Hey there! Nice to meet you!
I think a good book is something that makes me feel something (no, not cringe or anger or absolute regret or anything like that) but one that makes you think about it long after you close the pages.
Full-time career? Well, I’m currently studying computer science, so…

@gracie-j THANK YOU I’m glad you like it! I was bored lol and I haven’t made one in a very long time.
@writerlexi1216 Thanks! It’s probably one of my favorite titles of my stories so far. And thanks! The palette I love a lot.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What's a Genre or form of writing you used to dislike, but now enjoy? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 2 months ago
@kathleenramm Yes, tons! All my faves at this point are classics, haha. Probably East of Eden by Steinbeck and The Brothers Karamazov most though.
