@akbaer Hey there! Welcome to the forum! I’m Linyang, though you can call me Lin as well.
A fellow fantasy writer! How lovely. What can you tell me about your current WIP?

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Have you ever fallen out of love with writing? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 3 months ago
@kathleenramm Ah, I’ve heard that the best stories are all written by people who’ve suffered. So, well, I guess when we’re going through trials, we can see it as something good for our writing.
Me… I’ve had times where I didn’t write, usually burnout. But never really fallen out of love with it, like I do with piano. I mean, maybe there have…[Read more]

@elfwing Glad it made you feel something, heh. I’m quite excited for this short.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Dramatic Scenes in the forum Plotting 3 years, 3 months ago
@keilah-h Thanks for the tag! Yeah, most of the time I do fantasy. Nice scene! Very dramatic indeed.
*thinks for a very long time* Yeah, I really don’t remember or know what scenes I write are dramatic… Here’s a prologue from a short story that I’m working on, though:

@faith-q Well, I’ve handdrawn really bad maps before…just to get an idea of what direction my characters are going. But yeah, there are online map-makers that you can use.

@e-k-seaver I honestly don’t have much or any experience with writing or reading Christian fiction, so I honestly can’t be of much help, besides giving you, like, y’know, a regular reader’s perspective. You have my email already, so if you want to send it to me, I’d be happy to give it a read.

SeekJustice replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 3 years, 3 months ago
This looks so much fun! Thanks for tagging me 🙂 Here’s the first three things the protagonist of my previous WIP, Ilio, says. He’s a sweet, shy, academic boy who also happens to be a werewolf.
1). “Why am I naked?” Hmmm…I promise this makes sense in context.
2). “What has happened to me?”
3). “No.”
Interesting…

@nova21 XD Plenty of adventures to choose from!
I love your lines as well! Dylan sounds like he’d be quite hard to work with.
@writerlexi1216 Felicity sounds like what you described her as. Nice job!
@daisy-torres I’d want to be Catherine’s friend!
@lewilliams I want to meet Horace, like, right now. He sounds so proper.
@elfwing She sounds…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What are the 1st three things your MC says? in the forum Characters 3 years, 4 months ago
@nova21 Oo, fun! Hard time to find which MC though, haha…
This is for Nan Jinqi, who’s, um, what is he like… He’s quiet and dependable, I think. Quite observant. Hard-working. I don’t know that much about him yet.
1) “Run!”
2) “It was your stupid machine that crashed and burned, [action tag omitted], And who said I was here to stop you?”
3)…

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Overcoming Writer's Burnout : in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 4 months ago
@writerlexi1216 Ah, yes, the first time I won NaNoWriMo I didn’t write another word for 4 months. Not worth it lol. But since then I’ve built up my writing muscles.
For me I just keep floundering around in water like I’m about to drown. I tell myself I’m gonna keep writing, but in reality it’s so painful I can only get out 100 words a day. But…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic How do you continue a character arc in a series? in the forum Plotting 3 years, 4 months ago
@nova21 I like this idea! Unfortunately I never plot out my character arcs so I can’t help you with that. Best of luck, though. I believe one time someone told me that an overarching theme for a series + individual themes for each book is good, so I think that could work the same with arcs. Maybe for the next book focus on something more…[Read more]

Hello there! Sorry its taken me a while to get back to you 😀
There’s been a lot of good answers to your questions already, so I’ll do my best to give my two cents.
Personally, I write in two genres and my approach to putting God into those stories is different. My main genres are historical and fantasy, and my historical stuff…[Read more]
