Lin replied to the topic Writing a Series in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 4 months ago
@godlyfantasy12 Me? Since I have a tight writing schedule, I think, “Ah, I’m very excited that by this time next year, I’ll hopefully be writing ‘this’. Also stuff like, ‘If I don’t finish this now, then I can’t get to that.'”

@gracie-j Excellent points, Grace. Thank you for it. I get what you’re saying now, and it makes everything a lot clearer.

Though, after thinking about this a while, I remember something a very smart teacher of mine said once. When asked how what he thought about swearing, he said that he usually considered about if this would hurt the person that he would say it in front of. I don’t really remember the whole conversation, but I do remember one of my classmates saying…[Read more]

@gracie-j I’ll be sure to check out LibreOffice, thank you!
@jenwriter17 @seekjustice Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll probably look for a free alternative for Scrivener, because I have heard a lot of good things about it.

Lin replied to the topic Describe your writing process in 3 words. What are they and why? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years, 5 months ago
1. Overboard.
That’s too many ideas. No, no, stop. Why did you…stop getting new ideas. No. Stop. Why…why are you….why do you plan such extravagant things….
2. Scheduled.
Everything is carefully scheduled from the first day of the year to the last. Every project’s words are calculated, everything is plan…for one project.…[Read more]

@gracie-j This is quite the touchy subject among Christians. So things I’ve noticed about myself: I really don’t like it when authors overuse cussing in books, but I’m more ok if it’s a manga or Webtoon or something like that (probably because I’m too distracted by the images to really take in the words). I guess part of the reason why I gave up…[Read more]

Lin started the topic Writing Software in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 5 months ago
So I’ve been looking at different writing softwares out there…I was wondering which ones you guys use? I’m looking for something free and off the web, and am currently considering Quoll Writer, Atomic Scribbler, and Wavemaker. I’ve been using Microsoft Word and spiral notebooks for a pretty long time, but since I’m planning on writing longer…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic Writer Advent Calendar? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 5 months ago
@godlyfantasy12 Thank you so much for doing this! I’ll definitely try to use it! (Also the holiday one falls right on my birthday – that day shall be called Author Day. All my characters will have to bow down to me XD jk) But yeah, thank you so much!

Lin replied to the topic Writer Advent Calendar? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 5 months ago
@godlyfantasy12 That sounds really cool! My family never really does anything for Advent, so I always forget when it comes around. To be honest, I’d totally do this if someone else could make me a calendar XD I’m unfortunately really busy these two days to create something for myself.
I think that creating character bios or writing short snippets…[Read more]

@iluvhim18Â Your WIP sounds quite interesting! What do the princesses obtain if they win?
Ooh, I’ve heard of pretty much all of those. I really love Harry Potter as well, and I pretty much read all of the Warrior Cat series when I was younger, except for the extras and the new prequels series. I have a friend who really enjoys Keeper of the Lost…[Read more]

@iluvhim18 Hey there, welcome to the Kingdom! We’re glad to have you here!
Hmmm….lemme find some questions… What is your WIP about? What are some of your favorite books? Some of your favorite foods? Anything else you like to do?

@aj_serene Hi there, welcome to the Kingdom! Glad you finally decided to join the forum.
You’re on Wattpad? It’s cool to meet another webfiction author. I’m mainly active on Webnovel, though I hope to traditionally publish sometime.
Personally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with reading Harry Potter; it’s almost better than every other YA…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Nice merch! Though I seem to be in more need of pens than notebooks… Might buy in the future 🙂

Lin replied to the topic Which one of your characters would you most likely be friends with and why? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years, 5 months ago
@kathleenramm *literally forgets every sing character ever made, ever.* I’m trying to imagine myself there, haha, but there’s so many of them…and they’re either all so old or too young or kind of psycho or into crime or extremely introverted or stuff…
Probably Lionel, to be honest. One of my oldest characters and one of the more friendly ones.

Lin replied to the topic WIP Chat! in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 5 months ago
@godlyfantasy12 I’m afraid I’m no use with actual plotting, since I usually pants everything. So the only advice I can give is just feel your way through it, an if it doesn’t seem right, you can always change it later.
Good luck!

@gracie-j When I was a kid I could only take instrumental but once I hit teen years I went through pretty much everything, from normal rock to heavy metal to some screamo, even. But nowadays I settle for some nicer stuff. Foreign stuff. Wide range of tastes. And no, I have not heard that! Since I’ve heard that Hans Zimmer did PotC soundtrack, I’ll…[Read more]

@annika-c Nice. Those movies I enjoyed as well. I’m currently working on several projects, but my main one is a extremely long fantasy saga about Magic Users and their inability to find a happy ending. My favorite school subject was literature, and my least favorite is science.
It’s really cool that you’re going to start querying soon! Do you…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic Greetings friends! in the forum Start HERE 5 years, 5 months ago
@annika-c XD I tend to look at recent topics so I usually find posts. But yea Ella is right about tags.
I’ve heard of all of those books! I’ve read a couple volumes of How to Train Your Dragon and I have a friend who is a huge fan of Keeper of the Lost Cities.
My favorite books? *checks hand* A couple would be The Little Prince by Antoine de Sai…[Read more]
