Yeah, the reply issue-thing is just the site getting too overloaded. Sometimes you have to wait a minute for the replies to load. Putting links in replies shouldn’t cause an issue, so I’m not sure why taking them out fixed it. But I have found that having good internet and browser helps with these…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic If you could be a student of any Author, who would it be? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years, 10 months ago
Why didn’t I think of Agatha Christie?! I’m sure that there are tons of writing lessons I could learn from her. Writing mystery novels are not what you would call my strong suit. Not by a long shot.
I am ashamed to say that I have not read the Silmarillion yet. Though I intend on reading it as soon as possible. My brother as been…[Read more]

@michelle Sorry for the delay, But here are my thoughts!
I like how each of the friends, Freddy, Eddy, Al, and Hilda all have unique personalities. I love it when kid’s books have good friendships. I also liked how each chapter had its own little theme, and I also liked the humor!
My biggest critique would be that the stories are much more K…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What is your favorite thing about creative writing? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years, 10 months ago
Love the way you put that. One of the most unique things about being human is the ability to create, and to glorify God through art.
Oh, and I never got to tell you my thoughts on your web novel! It was awesome! It wasn’t like anything I have read before, and although it was short, the friendships and emotions hit. The…[Read more]

What is your favorite thing about creative writing?
For me, it’s spending time getting to know and explore interesting characters and new worlds. The best writing sessions for me are the ones where I feel like I’m being transported into a new world and I’m the main character. Through words I can go on adventures and meet cool people and do cool…[Read more] -

I also enjoyed the LotR much more. I liked the Hobbit, but it was definitely geared more towards children. Not a bad thing, I just prefer more serious books. So I do like the LotR more than the Narnia series as well, but if I had to only choose one author to be a student of, it would still be C.S. Lewis for the reasons I said in my…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What piece of writing advice changed the way you write the most? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years, 10 months ago
My parents use “…” all the time when they text or email me. XD Not really related, but I thought it was a funny coincidence.
The mind mapping tactic is something that I have learned just recently. I used to write SUPER detailed outlines of my novels, but then I would get so invested into the main character’s POV that they would…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum!

Have you written many novels or are you just starting out?
Where do you live? (If your fine sharing)

Yay! I just downloaded it and can’t wait to start reading.
However, it may take me awhile to finish since I’m reading more books than anyone should be reading at a given moment. XD
Congrats again! You inspire me to start typing away at my novel and finish it!

Bennett is MUCH better than Barrett. The more I think about the name Bennett the more I like it.
Not 100% If the name will be the finale choice, (I might want a more modern sounding name), but it’s definitely an upgrade from Barrett. Thanks!

Yes Focus on the Family did a great job with those! I’ve read the books at least twice, but listened to the audio drama countless times. XD
Some of the best books are the ones that change the way you write. (Except for the awful books that teach you how NOT to write.) I too love it when I read amazing piece of…[Read more]
