@kathleenramm Hm…I’d say that I don’t like the overpowered hero. The hero that easily defeats anything that comes in his way, doesn’t have any character development except getting stronger, makes the villains look like wimps, etc. There isn’t really anything likable about them except maybe they look cool, and you can fully expect that they win.

@sparksaraabbott11 Nice!

@sparksaraabbott11 Ah, I see.

Have you started to write it yet?

@sparksaraabbott11 Ah, they look pretty cool!

What makes Cora decide to go to the Academy?

@sparksaraabbott11 Ah, no, I haven’t. What is it about?

@godlyfantasy12

I hear ya! When I feel like that I usually try to remember my WHY. My big goal. WHY am I working on this project? Does it have a message I want people to see? Do I want to prove to myself that I can finish a hard project? Always figure out why you write every story and sometimes remembering that is enough to keep you going.

@sparksaraabbott11 Oo! Such a pretty character!

*ducks head and blushes* Ah…Abluvion isn’t the best thing I’ve written…but I’m glad someone’s reading it! Thank you so much!

@sparksaraabbott11 Ah, that sounds great! How old is Cora? What is she like?

@sparksaraabbott11 Ah, I haven’t, but I have a friend who loves them!

The WIP chat is here!

WIP Chat!

@sparksaraabbott11

Oh, I don’t believe I’ve heard of those movies before! they sound quite interesting.

Oh, I would totally count telepathy as a superpower. And also water powers or snow powers would be super cool.

Also, your WIP sounds super cool! Feel free to share more with us in the WIP chat thread!

@godlyfantasy12 *smiles is in leaving the second draft to write in another 5 years, or doesn’t do second drafts at all*

Start another project! As writers, we all have multiple ideas going on at once. And I think that it is best to wait even longer for second drafts than editing. Me, I’m just waiting for another few years for enough ideas to…[Read more]

Ah, I’d love to sub to yours, though it says it’s a private site.

@sparksaraabbott11 Hi there! Lovely to meet you! I feel like you already kind of know who I am, haha, but I’ll formally introduce myself. I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin. I write crime, fantasy, and realistic fiction! What about you?

Ah, I play the piano! I also love movies, as well as making music, and whatever color the sky happens to…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin I’ve tried finding a good writing joke to contribute but I just can’t find anything that’s the same level of hilarious XD

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin Awesome! Hope you enjoy!

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin Did I recommend you Spy x Family and Way of the Househusband yet? Well, if so, let me recommend them to you again, because they are among the favorite manga series I’ve found this year.

Books-wise, I’m afraid I can only give you classic lit. Just finished The Brothers Karamazov, very heavy, but I enjoyed it…[Read more]

This has got to be one of the best threads on here XD

@when-i-see-the-kingdom Okay, that’s what I thought but I wasn’t completely sure XD I used to be on there but I left almost exactly a year ago XD I plan to rejoin someday, though!

@gracie-j Thank you! I’m glad you like them!

@joy-caroline Ah thank you so much, Joy! I love your titles as well!
