@kathleenramm Good luck on your story! Yes, now I think I want to incorporate at least one delivery boy henchman into a future story. I love it when henchmen have distinct personalities and appearances. Makes the story much more fun.

@daisy-torres Oo, nice! Looks great!

@elfwing

I know! I think that’s the very thing that makes him so relatable. We sympathize with him because of all the mental torture he put himself through, but at the same we are annoyed with how mean and pathetic he can be.

It’s not a character you want to relate to because, who wants to be Colin? But his positive character arc gives hope for…[Read more]

@morgan

That sound like a really fun and chill way to write. Just letting ideas flow as you write the novel.

Where you find you get the most story ideas from?

@devastate-lasting

Following characters is the best right? So many fun and out-of-no-where ideas come to me when I do that. Plus writing is so much easier.

I’ve done it with outlined…[Read more]

@nova21

Haha, that’s okay! Grace gave some great tips!

@joy-caroline

It’s cool how you just took up a pen and started writing stories when you were younger!

Funny, I don’t think I remember a time where I didn’t know what outlining was, I guess because I grew up in a family of writers. XD

It totally makes sense that you outline Biblical…[Read more]

@abigail-m Sorry this took so long. I’ll answer your questions now.

how likable are the characters?

Very likeable! I do like the three that you introduced here.

If you had to eliminate all but one character, what one would you keep and why?

I’d keep Anton because I’m a sucker for minor characters. But seriously, I wouldn’t eliminate any of…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I fully pantsed some works some months ago. It was terrifying. Like, usually I have no idea where things are going when I’m writing, but at least I have an outline as a roadmap. No, for this I had one sheet of paper covered with characters I wanted to be  in it, and then another page for me to jot down ideas as I wrote.

And…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Yep! I’m somewhere in between a plotter and pantser, I pantsed some novels and plotted others. At the moment I’m pantsing my way through a historical fantasy novel, and my last WIP was almost completely pantsed too. However, I do tend to plot my NaNoWriMo novels, because I don’t write pantsed novels fast at all (I’ve been working on…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Sounds good! I’m just working on my novel and studying. I have no idea if you’re still around currently, or what time it is in America rn…

@lewilliams I just looked up the Keeper of the Lost Cities series and it sounds really interesting. How are the characters? (I’m seriously considering ordering yet another book from the library lol)

@elanor

That’s been happening a lot lately to me too recently. I used to stick up my nose to classics because I thought they were dull and…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Hello! How are you doing? What are you working on?

@ariel-f

That’s interesting. It would be cool to look back through the book to find what exactly it was missing that made you unable to connect. That’s what I love to do when I read a book I don’t like. Pinpoint everything little thing that made me dislike it. It really helps me out with my writing.

Ooo, what book was the best book you’ve read…[Read more]

Hello! Is anyone around? I’m currently studying, plus writing, plus reading over an old story so I can decide how to rewrite it. Anyone wish to join a lonely Australian?

@ribbonash @gracie-j @joy-caroline @jenwriter17

@joy-caroline As someone who generally likes antagonistic characters I like her a lot already! Kind of reminds me of Caleb Trask, one of my favorite characters in all of literature, who is supposed to symbolize Cain. I think as long as you portray all of your above ramble clearly, then you should have no problem getting your readers to like her!…[Read more]

@elfwing Of course! I’ll let you know if I have time.

@elfwing Hey, awesome! Right now I’m kind of busy, ahhh….

@godlyfantasy12 I don’t really have much to say, but I have a couple of movies to suggest for @gracie-j .

1) Knives Out. It’s a murder mystery that came out recently, I’d give it a strong PG-13 for language and stuff, but I really enjoyed watching it.

2) Batman Begins. Mm yes this one doesn’t have that much of a transition but it’s pretty g…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I’ve read other Star Wars books; mainly movie adaptions. There’s this one adaption of The Attack of the Clones that I really liked as a kid.

@kathleenramm

Haha 😛 I’m a qualified dog trainer and trained dogs professionally before the pandemic and I’d like to get back into it in a few years, I mostly read animal behaviour books to deepen my knowledge. But I do also like reading them for curiosity’s sake.

Hmm… personally I’m not sure what I would have done different. It seemed to me…[Read more]
