@leon-fleming I think you should know I received an email with a poem in it. It was very nice. I might specify that it’s your poem XD

@kathleenramm I really like villains in general, but they have to have some sort of element to them that I like. For example, I really disliked Count Olaf, but he was a really great villain.

So my saga has a wide cast of characters, all of whom appear in some way or another. A character may be a hero in one book but a villain in another,…[Read more]

@leon-fleming Haha yeah. Fireflies seems to be a pretty popular song.

@kathleenramm Oh yeah! They say one way to craft a really good villain is to take your main character but twist him wrong. Though, I must say, this wouldn’t work if you have multiple villains.

Personally when writing I like writing from my villain’s POV most. It makes him seem more human to me.

@millennium @leon-fleming My signature on SE used to be “I like to make myself believe…that planet Earth…turns…slowly” actually XD

@millennium Ooh. That is a solid premise.

@leon-fleming Oh I remember my guild used to have a thing like that XD

@millennium Those are really nice names!

Can you tell me about your novel?

@millennium I would want two cats, one named John Tyler and the other Joseph Conrad. I don’t know what I would name rabbits, though. What are your pets’ names?

@millennium Nice! Both are ideal pets! Would own if I could.

Cool topic! I have a couple projects going right now, but my favorite theme of the two is probably from my futuristic/sci-fi one, Skyracer. It’s got a couple different themes: 1) you are not defined/you don’t find your worth in what you do or accomplish and 2) it kind of touches on racism as well.

@katniss-everdeen Hello there! While I am not that big of a fan of the Hunger Games, I must ask you, have you heard of that Hunger Games #0 that was supposed to come out recently?

@kathleenramm I really love villains but as soon as you asked this question I forgot about all of them :P.

Though I guess generally I like secondary villains more…and since I haven’t really read/watched anything with villains in them I can’t really say…

But a lot of anime I like have very good villains! Like Lelouch from Code Geass, the…[Read more]

@millennium Hello hello hello! And welcome! I’m glad you’re here! What are two of your favorite animals?

@michelle Hello! Your name seems familiar; are you on SE?

I’m a homeschooler too! I mean, not always…started midway through 3rd grade haha. What’s California like, and what treats do you like to make?

@leon-fleming I used to see these things all the time but I never participated ‘cuz I was shy —

But I think that we just talk about any writerly things here.

@lrc Hello and welcome! I really like the theme of loyalty; I have a very dear character to me that embodies it.

Do the letters LRC stand for anything in particular? Are they just your initials?

@leon-fleming Oh wow my fried rice brain completely forgot about that XD

@leon-fleming Oh boy I forgot about this.

I feel like on the odds of risky stuff would it be better if you (one person) gave out your email here and have us email you rather than, uh, let’s see…the nine of us? Sorry, it’s just last time I did a Google doc thing with strangers it was with our guild leader who had all of emails already so we…[Read more]

@leon-fleming Sure.
