Welp. Tomorrow is the start of November, meaning I really gotta get in gear starting tomorrow with my writing.

Wish me luck! And if anyone has ideas on how to stop procrastinating, or just some encouragement that’d be great lol.

I’m thinking if I can maybe world build one location using the…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I believe I posted the synopsis for the standalone on either my first post (called Hola! 😂) or the WIP Chat post.

@kathleenramm

They’re in my standalone novel. Hoping to finish the first draft of it in November.

Tempest is the main character and narrator. Reven is her best friend. Almost like a little brother to her.

@kathleenramm Not really, haha. The closest would be a few days ago when I dreamed I was watching Makoto Shinkai’s new non-existent anime. When I woke up I really wanted to write it down, but I forgot the ending, unfortunately.

@gracie-j Ah thank you for your advice! I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

@gracie-j You have sisters who want you to read to them? Can’t relate, haha… Do you have any tips on blogging? I’m currently being tempted by the “blog” button that my website creator has…even though I told myself I wouldn’t…

@gracie-j I’m not sure if I count because I only publish web fiction, haha. I really like this idea.

But in the case that web fiction does count…I’ve posted a short story and a novella on Webnovel so far, and am hoping to work on much longer works some time. You can read basically anything I write for free here….…[Read more]

@gracie-j Though, to be honest, sometimes I’ll pull out some of my more recent (better writing) and I’ll flip randomly to somewhere and start reading, and I actually kind of enjoy that. I usually have no memory of writing whatever it is, and then when a character says something it’ll make me laugh a little. Only the recent ones, though. The old…[Read more]

@princessmk My favorite subject would probably be literature. What about you?

@princessmk I love chocolate chip cookies!

Oh, wow, I can’t believe I haven’t heard of any of these books. My favorites are: The Little Prince, Oliver Twist, East of Eden, My Sweet Orange Tree, Night on the Galactic Railroad, and Fahrenheit 451.

Are you homeschooled, by any chance? We have a lot of homeschoolers here (including myself) 🙂

@princessmk I mean the one you and your sister are writing together. That sounds cool; maybe I should ask my sister if she wants to work on a story together sometime.

What do you like to bake? And what are some of your favorite books?

@godlyfantasy12 Nice haha. I could never do that. I get super embarrassed reading my own stuff out loud, my parents prefer me to talk to them in Chinese, and I’m supposed to be studying most of the time anyway.

I really like the idea stage. It makes me want to write, but unfortunately things get in the way, so that when I actually get around to…[Read more]

Hmm. Probably the idea stage. That part when you get an incredible idea or story, or something to add to ur story. Or when you have those AHA moments that ties everything together so beautifully!! Just coming up with characters and those ideas and themes is so much fun and freeing. Especially…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I will indeed be repetitive and say music XD. I have a very vivid imagination and just listening to music and imagining worlds and characters….it’s just so incredible. It’s a bit hard to explain. It just gives me joy, especially when it’s something your like “OH MY WORD!! That makes sense!!!” Or a brand new character or idea.

Al…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 That sounds like a great plan! It’s so helpful to have family members read through things; I have my sister do mine and she absolutely tears it apart, as all siblings should. She is not happy at the prospect of looking through 52 volumes of stuff. She’ll probably quit by then, tbh.

What’s your favorite point in the writing process?

@devastate-lasting Thx! But yea that’s a lot of words and books!

So my plan (I hope it works out) is to finish the first draft of my standalone by the end of November or start of December. Finish my worldbuilding and summary for book 1 of my series before the end of December, and that way I can start outling for the 2nd book in more depth and s…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Yay! I’ll take a cookie any day!

@godlyfantasy12 I’ll take that tea to go with this cookie 🙂

@kathleenramm

K I got some music recommendations somewhere above (or on the previous page) if ya wanna look!

As for 7 books, I knew I wanted it to be a fairly long series, maybe around 7 but I first just planned for 5 as a starting number and then decided “hey let’s go for 7”

Plus that’s better for the story anyway.

I like both of those s…[Read more]

@gracie-j (It’s because I tell myself I gotta do this before Jesus comes or I die. That’s how I manage to get through everything. Deadlines, scheduling, numbers…I feel like that’s one of the better things about myself.)

Anyway, quality vs quantity! Both are good, but really, the stuff I wrote at the beginning was trash. (And I don’t even want…[Read more]

WAIT!!!

change Ara’s! She’d prefer her crush hate her I think cuz she’s not crushing on anyone at this point in time XD.
