Yeah, Classic lit. feels so much more grounded. It also feels a bit more comfy and homey to read. I do really like fast paced books, but slow paced books like classics are so relaxing.

Do you have any favorite classics?

I haven’t dared venture back before the 1600’s ever since I read a bunch a books around that…[Read more]

I used to totally pants my first drafts. Now I find it more helpful to make a plot outline and scene outlines before I get writing, but I still give myself the freedom to deviate from that outline if I feel like it. That’s just me though. 🙂

@godlyfantasy12 Usually I write a beginning, and then I start working on an outline/plot/characters, and usually after I have the outline for all the chapters done, or most of them, enough to keep me busy for a while, I just starting writing each chapter one by one.

@kathleenramm These days I can consume nothing but classic lit. I think when I was younger I found it boring but now I find modern lit lacking in depth and character and theme. Still, I prefer literature from the 1800’s and 1900’s, and maybe occasionally the 1700’s. Anything earlier I find, well, hard to read.

@kathleenramm

My answer is pretty much identical to yours! I used to largely dislike classics (or the idea of classics, anyway; I didn’t dislike as many of the classics that I read as I thought I did, lol), but in the past two or three years I’ve read more and more classics and they’ve definitely beat out modern fiction in my…[Read more]

Nice to meet you too, @Libby! So do you! 😊

I like to rap about whatever’s on my mind and what I’m feeling. It’s a refreshing mode of expression. 😁😎👍

What do you like to rap about?

@lydia-s Any other books you’ve read lately? Or any other classic lit you enjoy?

@trahia-the-minstrel

Yuh, sibling relationships ftw. When is a story not better with a sibling, or sibling-like relationship?

Since it’s your favorite, how many sibling duos have you written, and do you have a favorite one you’ve written?

@overcomer

Yeah, there definitely is something special with brother friendships.

Maybe because it’s rarer…[Read more]

Nice to meet you too, @trahia-the-minstrel. I haven’t been on here is a really long time. It’s good to be back! 😊

@kathleenramm I like master/servant relationships, maybe like young lady and her butler, or something similar. Or I like the idiotic duo who share one brain cell. That’s just really fun to see.

I would say that usually, I get a plot idea first, then the character just naturally shows up as I’m plotting, but sometimes I do get an idea for a cool character first, and then the story plots itself around them.

So it varies.

Plot and characters (or at least, main characters) are very connected for me, though. They’re essentially…[Read more]

I love a good bromance! Frodo and Sam’s friendship is so moving. I really enjoy reading about guys’ friendships, more than I do romance. Maybe because I’m a girl and it’s more mysterious to me? I don’t know.

All I know is that there’s something awesome and powerful about it, and also vaguely incomprehensible. XD

And cool. Which reminds me, I…[Read more]

Writing energizes me and fills me with joy. I’m truly happiest when writing. I can get tired while writing, but it doesn’t usually exhaust me. It’s only really exhausting if the words or inspiration or whatever I need just isn’t flowing as it should. :/

But if I’ve turned my light off and I get a sudden spark of an idea… I may turn the light…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Hmm unless you count the time I couldn’t fall asleep from like midnight to two in the morning because I kept getting writing ideas to jot down haha. That was pretty energizing.

@devastate-lasting

You definitely did not see my profile picture on Pinterest, where I definitely did not get it from. My profile 110% very unique and original. 🙂

It seems like most people get drained from writing. Has there ever been an exception for you? Like a certain chapter that made you excited and energized at…[Read more]

@keilah-h Nice! How many fanfictions have you written?

@lydia-s Yess I read Jane Eyre back in high school and I really liked it! Jane is a big mood.
