Linyang Zhang

@godlyfantasy12 One time I started a five book series that turned into thirty-six books and now is sitting at fifty-books and boy can I tell you I am sure glad I am out of ideas. Every day I lament over my former self’s cruelty towards me, but alas, I must finish this. Pros: I have greatly increased my writing speed. Cons: This is going to take a…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Far too lazy to come up with my own questions, have these instead.

101 Imaginative And Fun Author Interview Questions

@glorifychrist Yeah, I’m currently working on two long projects and a short story.

We have a lot of authors here who know about self publishing! You’ll probably meet them at some point, haha.

@glorifychrist That sounds great! I’d love to hear more about your work!

I write fiction, usually crime/slice-of-life/fantasy, and I’m always working on long projects and short projects.

What are you hoping to do with your projects once they’re finished?

@glorifychrist Welcome! What a coincidence, I just finished CWW as well! It’s great to have you here! I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin.

What kind of things do you like to write? Is there any particular project that you’re working on now?

@kathleenramm

• Silver Spoon – A funny yet deep series about farm school; really hit hard with graduating high school and all, by the author of Fullmetal Alchemist so I highly recommend it
• 20th Century Boys – A classic story of good versus evil, one of the most emotional pieces I have ever read, another one of Naoki Urasawa’s best works

@trahia-the-minstrel Hm… Well, pretty much everything I can think of has swearing in it, so I’m afraid not a lot of my reccs will be completely clean. Yotsuba&! is one of my favorite wholesome slice-of-life mangas with no anime adaption, about a little girl, so it should be enjoyable for adults, and probably for kids as well. Other than that,…[Read more]

@daisy-torres How exciting! I’ll be sure to check it out! Best of luck!

@kathleenramm Don’t feel bad, I can hardly read anything besides manga now. But for the sake of this discussion I’ll leave manga out of it.

How Many Books Have you Read this Year? List every one you read!

Out of the 220 books I read, only 15 were real books. And a lot were rereads.

The Summer of the Swans – Betsy Byars

Born Again – Charles…[Read more]

@avacoulter I literally just watched Markiplier try aerial silks, haha. It looks really cool!

@annabelle I have a younger sister, but that’s it, haha.

@annabelle Yess, plus with pen and paper it’s more transportable.

Wow, that’s a lot of siblings! Are you the oldest or…?

@annabelle Oh, nice! I was homeschooled as well. And I still hand write a lot of things, for some reason.

It sounds like you guys make a good team! How many siblings do you have?

@avacoulter Sounds like maybe you’re up for a novellette or novella, haha.

What other things are you into?

@annabelle Well, I am pretty old, so it matches up in proportion XD

Wow, does your whole family do writing-related activities?

@annabelle Nice, nice! I’ve been playing piano for almost thirteen years now, and my teacher assigns me classical music, but I like playing pretty songs I hear.

Do you have any other projects you’re working on, (or plan to work on) after Identity?

@annabelle Heyy and welcome to the Kingdom! I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin. Nice to meet you!

Identity sounds fascinating! Are you going to be self-publishing it?

I also play piano! How long have you been playing?

@avacoulter I’ve written/am working on a ton of projects right now, short stories, web fiction, novels, novellas… I like short stories because they’re quick and you can have instant satisfaction of finishing them, but also I tend to only write short story beginnings and nothing else, which is annoying on my part, haha.

@avacoulter Yeah, I agree, there is a balance to find.

Do you write a lot of short stories or have you just been working on this main project?
