@freedomwriter76 Wowow, that sounds awesome! What stage of writing it are you in?

*chuckles nervously* Which WIP?

@freedomwriter76 Sure sure, go for it! It’s been a while since anyone’s told me about their book XD

@freedomwriter76 Wow, lots of Christian music. You can also make playlists on Youtube if you have that.

Great selection! Makes me want to hear more about your WIP.

@freedomwriter76 I like them enough, don’t actively follow them but they have some songs I really like, haha. They’re pretty catchy.

Do you have any playlists you’d like to share?

@freedomwriter76 I write them when I have time and inspo, heh.

Here’s one for like the last novel I was working on last year:

@freedomwriter76 I make playlists occasionally for short stories if I’m feeling bored, or just add songs I think fit with a novel to a playlist to eventually sort out, heh. I think they’re somewhere on Spotify? I’d share if anyone wants t see em.

@samuel-p-robbins I was so confused seeing my message on here lol.

@kathleenramm Honestly I really like how well everything’s tying together for it (plot, themes, character, worldbuilding, backstory, etc etc). Probably my most structured novel yet? I’m enjoying the single POV and small cast of characters, a nice change of pace from my usual big casts, as well as structuring internal and external conflict to all…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Complex. The more complex the possible. I don’t want to know what’s gonna happen. At least when reading.

Writing…hhh I want to get good at complex storylines.

@kathleenramm The 20th Century Boys manga series. I want to experience the suspense and emotions of the whole series, trying to find out who Friend is…

@valtmy Change all the races of my characters for the sake of diversity (though idk why they would my MC is Asian), adding a love triangle (or three), change the ending (by making it happy isntead of vague and tragic and open), and adding a lot more daddy issues than I originally intended there to be.

@kathleenramm A lot. Well, not sure. Most of my endings are bittersweet; in fact, I can’t think of a single fully happy ending. But there was one story (that I think you’ve read?) where every single character loses everything and there’s no way to recover that, and it was the result of all their own choices throughout the story.

Still one of my…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I’ve had some places based off of places near where I live, though I never mention them by name. I used to mention street names though, haha.

One time I did read a book set in my hometown (it was never explicitly stated but I figured it out using context clues) and hoo boi that was weird.

@denali-christianson Not me making like all my characters Asian because I’m Asian heh….

Okay I had this convo with someone else a few months ago so let me just copy/paste it here…

for me, i honestly don’t like it when diversity is forced in a book. if you feel like your character should be white, then make them white, if not, then make them…
