Do you Prefer Classical or Modern Literature?
Ask me this question a few years ago, I would have said modern literature without hesitation.However… recently I’ve been gravitating much more towards the classics.
I still think modern literature has some clear strengths over classical literature, like having fewer filler scenes and more creative…[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?

Kathleen replied to the topic What's Your Favorite Relationship Type in Fiction? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 1 month ago
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?
Yeah, there definitely is something special with brother friendships.
Maybe because it’s rarer…[Read more]

@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.

Lately, I’ve been writing some rap lyrics. I don’t know why. I just felt like trying it, and it’s fun and therapeutic.
Still, I know very little about it, or if anything I’m writing is any good. So I was wondering if any of y’all are familiar with rap?

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic What come to you first? Plot or Characters? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 1 month ago
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]

What’s Your Favorite Relationship Type in Fiction?
For me it would be sibling relationships. Maybe it’s because I have a lot of siblings, but I feel like there’s this unique built-in connection between sibling relationships that other relationships don’t have.There can be a lot of diverse and interesting dynamics between siblings. They could be…[Read more]

Mallory O'Bier replied to the topic Does writing energize or exhaust you? Or both? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 1 month ago
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.

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]

@kathleenramm Boi, your profile picture sure looks familiar, although a tad bluer haha.
I think writing will always drain me. I don’t think I’ve ever walked away from writing without feeling a little more tired than before. Unless I’m in the middle of a load of homework and I needed to write a paragraph or something as a pick-me-up or a…[Read more]

Does writing energize or exhaust you? Or both?Â
Well, for me, both. If ideas are flowing, plot lines connecting, and character’s developing, then I get really excited and end up unable to fall asleep until 2 a.m.However, if ideas are absent, plot lines clashing, and characters are not working, then I end up like a complete tired mess from…[Read more]
