TOPIC OF THE WEEKÂ
How do you think of story ideas? How have you thought of story ideas in the past?
For me, I have always started with the main character. I would first think of an interesting character and dream up their life.
I would give them an occupation that always fascinated me, a family life filled with mystery and misfortune, many…[Read more]

What do you think makes Jack especially realistic?
I really want to figure out the reason why some characters feel like they’re alive and others feel as real my pet unicorn.XD

@kathleenramm Hi! I’m not sure if you guys are going to know this lol. I have read lots of books with realistic characters, but right now I am going to say Jack Torrance from The Shining!

Kathleen replied to the topic TOPIC OF THE WEEK – Who's the most realistic character in a story? in the forum Start HERE 5 years, 12 months ago
Yes, characters can be both realistic and UNrealistic in two different ways.
A character can have supernatural powers that make them unrealistic but also have a well-written character full of depth and heart that makes them realistic.
Some books I’ve read the characters feel like they’re just puppets being controlled by the…[Read more]

Last week was on favorite scenes, and this week is on realistic characters!
FORUM TOPIC OF THE WEEK:
Who’s the most realistic fictional character in a story?Â
My choice is the one and only… Leo Valdez from The Heros of Olympus series!
I don’t know the exact reason why he felt so real to me, but he felt as though he was an actual person that e…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic TOTW – What's Your Favorite Type of Scene in Stories? in the forum Start HERE 6 years ago
I didn’t even think of those kinds of scenes, but I can definitely see why it’s your favorite to write!
It kinda sounds psychopathic but, for some reason, high emotion, and panicking scenes can be really fun to write. XD
Plus, I also like how you learn a lot more about the characters and see a side of them you didn’t see…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic TOTW – What's Your Favorite Type of Scene in Stories? in the forum Start HERE 6 years ago
Yes! I’m glad someone gave plot twists the appreciation they deserve! I love stories that keep you on your toes. I mean, if you already know how the story is going to play out from the beginning, then what’s the point of reading it?
What story has your favorite plot twist?
I too have the same struggle of not knowing…[Read more]

It’s hard to say what my favorite SW saga is because it’s been forever since I watched the originals, and the only prequel I was able to sit through was The Phantom Menace. (Sorry if any of you love the prequels, I just couldn’t stand the cringy dialogue and the CGI blinded my eyes.)
That being said, I guess my rankings from least…[Read more]

It makes a lot of sense that the poet in you is the part of you that takes pleasure in writing descriptions. Poetry can take seemingly simple things like the environment around us and put it through a new lens and make it into artwork.
I have so much respect for people who can do that well.
You can’t talk about great descriptions…[Read more]

Who doesn’t love a good plot twist!
I don’t know a lot of people who really enjoy the description of stories. Is there a particular reason it’s one of your favorites? And which authors do you think do description the best?
I haven’t read the book Pride and Prejudice, but I have watched two film adaptations. Why do you ask?

Kathleen replied to the topic Beware: Crazy Writer and Weird Nerd in the forum Start HERE 6 years ago
I definitely agree about how it’s fun seeing your favorite character go the literal worst together, but also have some sweet relationship-building moments through it all as well. But I usually daydream about it because I’ve never attempted writing fanfic. Partly because I’m too worried that I’d ruin my favorite characters, and…[Read more]

The Forum Topic of the Week is, What is your favorite type of scene to read/write/watch in a story and why? (Action scene, reflection scene, plot twist scene, dialogue scene, romance scene, etc.)
My personal favorite is definitely is dialogue. (If it’s done right, of course, an awful dialog can be unbearable). XD
It’s mainly my favorite because…[Read more]
