Kathleen replied to the topic You have the ability to read a book for the first time again… in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 3 months ago
Ooo, yeah. I feel like Harry Potter would be one of those series so many people would love to read for the first time again. Especially because it’s really nostalgic for a lot of people as well. It’d be kinda like reliving a piece of your childhood.
Narnia would be so fun to read for the first time again!…[Read more]

Everett
Everett worked his jaw as he weighed his options. He was starving and dehydrated, and exhaustion was creeping up on him. Perhaps this was one of those times it didn’t matter whether he could trust people or not. Did he have a choice?
He tried to remember whether he had left a dagger in his satchel or not,…[Read more]

Sorry for the late response!!! 🙂
Everett
“Judging from your question,” Feather asked, “you don’t happen to be the castle’s owner or know who it is?”
Everett forced himself to stop glaring at Rinzler and look at the girl instead, but the guy’s grouchy voice still rang through his head– if I hadn’t already re…[Read more]

Kathleen started the topic You have the ability to read a book for the first time again… in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 4 months ago
You have the ability to read one book for the first time again, which book would you choose? Why?
Okay, this is such a cop-out, but I genuinely don’t have an answer to this.Maybe it’s because I haven’t read enough books, or maybe it’s because I really like rereading books so reading them for the first time again hasn’t really been something I’ve…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Side Characters (FP,WS) in the forum Characters 4 years, 4 months ago
Awesome!
Well, yeah, I tend to be around quite a few people with opposing worldviews. Though it usually ends up with far more conflict and split paths than heroic character arcs that inspire the people around them, haha.

Kathleen replied to the topic Side Characters (FP,WS) in the forum Characters 4 years, 4 months ago
I think it’s great that you have a character that displays what the end of the MC’s character arc will be, so maybe for your students it could be the opposite of that. They could be the resistance to the MC’s character arc.
They would demonstrate different world views on the theme of “changing the world for the better”, Which would…[Read more]

Jean Coul replied to the topic Side Characters (FP,WS) in the forum Characters 4 years, 4 months ago
Wow! That’s such a cool idea!
I wish I could help more but I just don’t know how! I feel like I would need to know more about the twins and how the actual magic system works with the whole “opposites and double gifted” thing.
I’m still trying to figure out how to display the themes in my book, but one of the best pieces of advice I’ve…[Read more]

Jean Coul replied to the topic Character Castle! in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 4 months ago
Yay! Another character! Can I have a brief description?? It sounds like maybe another character from the Star Wars universe, but I could be wrong..? Also, I like the mysterious ‘dark past’ vibes!
Once again, I mean no disrespect! I apologize for my character’s attitude, and I think you guys’ charries are awesome!…[Read more]

Well, I guess I shouldn’t say all the secrets, but hopefully more! There is supposed to be a tenth book that I think will be the last one…
Sophie isn’t my favorite either, but I definitely admire that she isn’t perfect. I think that makes her realistic. My favorite character is Keefe! 🙂
Yes! I’m finding out the more I build up a…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Age Gap in the forum Characters 4 years, 4 months ago
From what I see from age gaps, I think it’s more about the stage person is at in life rather than the actual number of years. (Though, the number of years is important too)
Like a fifteen-year-old dating, a twenty-year-old is a lot different than a twenty-year-old dating a twenty-five-year-old.
One is perfectly fine, the other…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What Makes An Allegory Impactful? in the forum Mission, Calling & Ethics 4 years, 4 months ago
@madelyn
I really like allegories that are subtle. Where the story alone stands strong by itself and the allegory just adds a layer of depth and core themes.Mainly because, if the story I am reading is very obviously an allegory, all I can think about is the story its an allegory of instead of the story itself, which gets in the way of me…[Read more]

Oh, that’s such a smart idea! 🙂 I’ve heard of Tron before but have yet to actually watch it!

Their worlds? Different worlds? Several worlds? Different universe? Worlds converging?
Everett tried to keep up his smirk, but with every word this girl–Feather–said, he felt the corners of his mouth drooping more and more. H…[Read more]

Jean Coul replied to the topic Side Characters (FP,WS) in the forum Characters 4 years, 4 months ago
Hmmmm…. I like this topic, first off, because I also have some underdeveloped side characters, so I can relate.
Because of that, however, I may not be the most helpful, but I will try to offer some advice. I also think I remember you referring to this story about the mentor. But I don’t know much more that that so just keep that in…[Read more]

Jean Coul replied to the topic Character Castle! in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 4 months ago
Oh! So you write fanfics???? Cool! I’ve never really dabbled in it myself but enjoy reading them! The one about Feather and her sisters sounds really interesting! I thought you had mentioned Rinzler was from Voltron at first instead of Tron and I was like, I’ve never heard of him XD

Jean Coul replied to the topic I technically count as new in the forum Start HERE 4 years, 4 months ago
Yes!!!!!!! I love that series so much! The characters are great and that’s probably the main thing I look for in good stories! And the world is really cool too! I’m so excited/nervous for the next book because all the secrets are going to be revealed and we’ve been waiting for them for a while! Um… I think I’ve been into it since…[Read more]
