It’s cool how your characters evolved into other stories!
If I may ask, what do you mean by them being human but not exactly? That sounds very intriguing.
The current project that I’m currently writing the first draft on, I’ve been working on and off on for over four years. I think it’s safe to say I spent probably close to a…[Read more]

I’ve always had a fascination with fairy-tale retellings! Have you ever read the Lunar Chronicles? I wouldn’t say it’s the best series out there, but it was definitely the best fairy-tale retelling series that I have read.
How old were you when you wrote it?

“What was the first novel you wrote about? What made you decide to write it?”
Also, it doesn’t have to be the first novel you finished, just the first novel you started writing.My first novel, (which I didn’t actually finish), was about a girl who lived with her grandmother in a immobile mobile home. She lives a pretty simple life of caring for…[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, 11 months ago
That is a fantastic way to improve writing style that I must try!
I haven’t heard this advice of mimicking great authors’ writing styles as a way to improve your own, but it makes perfect sense.
What were some of the authors you modeled after?

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, 11 months ago
Yeah, style so often overlooked by a lot of writers.
Was there anything particular you did to help improve your writing style? Or was it just a lot of practice and persistence?

What piece of writing advice changed the way you write the most?
What writing advice helped you the most with your writing?For me the piece of writing advice that changed the way I write the most was to fully put yourself into the main character’s headspace while writing.
To take a moment before I write a scene to think what the MC is thinking,…[Read more]

I have yet to read the Inheritance Cycle, and I must say, this doesn’t make me any more excited to do so.
Oh, yes… Jason. All I remember about him was that he was very forgettable.
Probably the weakest protagonist Riordan has ever written.

Kathleen replied to the topic TOTW – What is a story cliche that you like? in the forum Start HERE 5 years, 11 months ago
I know people who love that trope as well as people who hate it! Haha.
But it can be really good if it’s written well.
Is there a book or movie that you read/watched that pulled this trope off particularly well?

Kathleen replied to the topic help? in the forum Questions and Support 5 years, 11 months ago
It’s been a while, but is this still an issue?
If it is, I can look into why it isn’t working and try to fix it.
And if there are any other technical difficulties you are having, feel free to let me know and I’ll get ’em fixed as soon as possible!
