Kathleen replied to the topic What motivates you to write? What do you do when you lack motivation? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 3 months ago
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]

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

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?

What motivates you to write?Â
What do you do when you lack motivation?
What motivates me to write is the adventure of exploring new worlds and interesting characters. Once I’ve deeply developed both I find it so easy to write. However, if I’m not interested in the characters, if they’re too vague are haven’t been fully created yet, it’s hard for…[Read more] -
Kathleen replied to the topic What's a genre of fiction you want to write in, but haven't yet? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 3 months ago
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

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?

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?

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

“What’s a genre of fiction you want to write in, but haven’t yet? Why do you want to, and why haven’t you yet?”
For me, it would be science fiction. I think the genre would be really fun to write in. And the types of stories you could write in that genre are endless.The reason why I haven’t written sci-fi before is that I really want to take…[Read more]

I love drawing as well! Do you ever draw illustrations for your novels?
Wow! You were six! I don’t even feel bad that you beat me. XD

Because although I love reading now, I…[Read more]

What made you start writing stories? How old were you when you started?
I started writing when I was either seven or eight years old when I was inspired by a story I made up while playing the board game ‘Life’.
I had my little family in the game and I named the only child Beatrice. Once I named her, a story started to form in my head. Â And I s…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What was the premise of your first novel? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 4 months ago
Well, your first novel may have been cliche, but at least James Nixon wasn’t a poor farm boy. XD
It’s cool how in your writing today you can still see influences from your past work. But now it’s much more well put together, thought out, and more deeply developed.
What world-building elements do you still have in your fantasy…[Read more]

Manga/anime art style is so fun to draw in!
When you try to draw realistically, a lot more things can go wrong.
*Thinks about all my horribly failed sketches that haunt my dreams at night*
But I still like to sketch in both. It just depends on what drawing mood I’m in.

Sounds good! I will read the doc and give you my thoughts and ideas soon!
And great job so far. This will be no easy task, but the language of the Kingdom of Pen will be created slowly but surely!

It’s cool how your characters evolved into other stories!
If I may ask, what do you mean by them being human but not exactly? That sounds very intriguing.
The current project that I’m currently writing the first draft on, I’ve been working on and off on for over four years. I think it’s safe to say I spent probably close to a…[Read more]
