@elfwing “Mirabelle, you crazy?” I gave a small laugh. “We’re not going to catch it… They’ll see us if we go outside!”

Eh? Rattling? I stood up, and crept towards the kitchen, Mirabelle right behind me.

Lin replied to the topic Multiple Protagonists in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 5 months ago
@godlyfantasy12 Ok, cool, that makes things easier for you. For my current work I’ve had multiple POVs, like, a lot, and they’re mainly all main or secondary characters. For my last thing I tried to do one POV per chapter, switching in an orderly way, but for this one I’m doing whatever feels right. Your main characters would have more POV…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Are you doing third or first person POV? With third you can do pretty much anything you want, with first it takes a lot of skill to pull off more than one POV, much less seven.

Lin replied to the topic Why do you write? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 5 months ago
@kathleenramm Deep question, deep question. As a kid my sister was the one who tried out writing first, and I said that I didn’t think I’d ever want to write, just read stories. Well, one day I grew bored of all the books I read, and decided to write my own.
And now I’m here and hoooooo boi I don’t know if I’m living a nightmare or the dream…[Read more]

@calidris I don’t think so. Was it bad or good?

Lin replied to the topic Reading in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
@elfwing I mean, I used to read bad books too lol. And then I started writing, and I didn’t read anything but manga and classics, so when I finally went around to reading other stuff again, I was more like, “what is this thing I’m reading.” I guess writing has trained me to look for mistakes more, and also one of my sister’s hobbies is roasting…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic Reading in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
@elfwing Oh, for me, I’m the opposite. Problems always stick out to me, but usually I stay quiet about them because I feel like they aren’t something that the writer can change easily (like style, the overall plot, etc.) If it’s typos I will though.

@madelyn I enjoy it when I’m not crying, heh. Which I think can be said about anything.

@maryg3 Microsoft forms works too if you would like.

Lin replied to the topic 1st Chapter Critique for The Inventor’s Daughter in the forum Novel Critique Requests 4 years, 6 months ago
@maryg3 Just search up “google forms” and you should be able to do that. And no, I don’t have any other ideas as of now, sorry.

Lin replied to the topic What's the harshest critique you've ever received about your writing? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 6 months ago
@kathleenramm Probably someone said that the ending to one of my novellas was contrived. Lol. Maybe it was, since I was making it up as I went along. The person had reviewed one of my short stories favorablely, though, so probably I just need to work more on editing.

@maryg3 Hey, awesome! I’d love to read it, but unfortunately I don’t like putting my email out in public places. Could you perhaps make a Google form or something for us to input our emails into? That’s what I would do, anyways.

Lin replied to the topic Add new ideas in now or later? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
1. To be honest whenever I come up with new ideas I just add them halfway through and then later go back and add them in the beginning. Saves a bit of time.
2. Totally! Usually my chapters are 6 and a half pages, sometimes they’re 13.

Lin replied to the topic Tense Choices in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
@sparrowhawke Yee a lot of classics use first person peripheral, actually! For another work I was debating between first and third and finally settled on first person peripheral. Pretty happy I did.

Lin replied to the topic Salvete scriptores! in the forum Start HERE 4 years, 6 months ago
@sparrowhawke Greetings! I remember Blimey Cow vaguely from years past, but since a while ago I have not watched them. Twenty One Pilots I do love, as well as The Emporer’s New Groove.
Your name sounds familiar; are you on Story Embers as well?
