Lin replied to the topic What's something you thought was necessary in writing, but actually wasn't? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 4 months ago
@kathleenramm Oh, almost everything. That you had to follow prose conventions taught in school or plot outlines that followed a specific formula, that your character had to go through a very specific and obvious development, that you had to write something that followed all of these things with a reasonable and expected ending…
None of those…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic What's your biggest strength and weakness as a writer? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 4 months ago
@kathleenramm I pretty much just practiced writing for a while, then I took a couple of courses on style and things, and then I just wrote a ton until sometime last year when I felt like my style is more like what it is now. And it’s still developing, though right now I’m finally finding it satisfactory.

Lin replied to the topic What's your biggest strength and weakness as a writer? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 4 months ago
@kathleenramm My biggest weakness is probably editing. Editing is the thing I’ve spent least time on. It always makes me feel like I’ve never edited enough lol.
Biggest strength? At this point, probably my prose. That’s the only thing I get consistently complimented on.

Lin replied to the topic What's the strangest book you've ever read? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 5 months ago
@kathleenramm I thought it was going to be more of a struggle between whether or not androids and humans have a difference and what it means to kill one… It took more of a 1984 direction, hhhh…

@keilah-h Oh, it’s very good. Of course, it does require an acquired taste, but I love it a lot.

Lin replied to the topic What's the strangest book you've ever read? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 5 months ago
@kathleenramm I’m not sure if I’ve ever read something and thought, “That was strange.” But if I had to choose one I would choose Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I was pretty confused throughout it, haha. I like it ok, but definitely not my favorite. Fahrenheit 451 all the way. Also, the way I read the synopsis and the way I thought that t…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic How to know if your book should be a standalone or series? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 5 months ago
Me: I want to write a five part series. Let me come up with enough plot to fill it.
Also me: This plot idea feels like it’s gonna be a three part series.
That’s basically it haha. Depends on how much plot idea you have.

Lin replied to the topic When you don't like the direction of your story… in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 5 months ago
@jodi-maile So sorry for being late, but I completely relate to you about the tone struggles, since I’m having them for one of my current works. I guess what I would say is either:
a) leave it alone for a very long time and start anew or something at some point
b) finish it, decide what you like or don’t like about it, and restart
c) leave it…[Read more]

It took the form of a small cute kitten. Mirabelle, of course, awwed and ran over, picking it up before I could stop her.

Lin replied to the topic Have you ever written a story with multiple POV? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 5 months ago
@kathleenramm The most? Probably like 10 or 12 at some point. I don’t count very well, haha.

Lin replied to the topic Have you ever written a story with multiple POV? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 5 months ago
@kathleenramm I usually write in several POVs! I like to give insight in what happens to each person, and since usually they aren’t around each other, also shed light on other things that happen in entwining storylines.

“Shut up,” I said, walking past her back to the window. “Something was actually there. And it might hear us.”

We really should have fixed that floor after last time. Last time was…sheesh. I didn’t wish to remember last time.

@elfwing I mean, it is fantasy, he’s allowed to do what he wants. It’s not supposed to be taken literally.

@elfwing
Literally not going to say anything because that is probably the only piece of Christian fiction I actually liked -

@keilah-h Ye, the OG series is really good, but I didn’t like the other series.

Lin replied to the topic Have you ever created a crossover fanfiction? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 5 months ago
@keilah-h I began fanfics for a whole slew of things, some of which were crossovers, most notably a Percy Jackson/Harry Potter/Hunger Games fanfic lol.

Lin replied to the topic How would you rewrite your least favorite book? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 5 months ago
@kathleenramm I don’t have a least favorite book but there sure are some that I would like to rewrite. Especially the last book in the School For Good and Evil series by Somain Chainani. The first three I liked, the last three were a dumpster fire.
Before One True King came out my sister and I theorised about what was gonna happen and we thought…[Read more]
