Thank you for your reply and for sharing that–it was very helpful and very much…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 Let’s see…tips…I’ve tried doing NaNo once or twice before last time, but always failed. You gotta make yourself and sit and finish the word count every day, otherwise you fall behind really easily. I stayed up a lot at night trying to finish. Also utilize your weekends and free time. Don’t worry about plot/grammar/characters.…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 Hi! I don’t believe we’ve met yet. *extends hand solemnly*
I…don’t know yet if I’m doing NaNo. My school’s finals week is in November (technically anyway), so I’m a bit…crunched for time at the moment. BUT I know I’ll definitely keep writing during November, even if I don’t hit the 50k. 😛 Best of luck with your novel-ing…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Nanowrimo 2020? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years ago
No, but sorta yes? Since I’ve never done NaNoWriMo before, I decided that this year I’d do a Half-NaNoWriMo, (sorta like a half marathon), and write 25k in November. And next year I’ll aim to write 50k for NaNoWriMo.
At the moment, I’m not a super fast writer, so I don’t think I can commit the amount of time necessary to write 50k…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 So now I’m a bit conflicted, see. I swore to myself that I would never touch Nano again due to the length of the burnout that happened two years ago, but now I’ve gotten a new idea in my sleep that wouldn’t be that long and just about 50,000…
Though I might want to take my time with that. Also I don’t have a Nano…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 I’m not doing NaNo this year, but I wish you all the best! 😀 *sends virtual chocolate* But I am sending out a NaNo “survival kit” to my email list on the 31st with a bunch of articles to help with the November challenge. If you’re interested in that, you can click here. 🙂 That will have all of my top tips for productivity, goal…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 Nice to meet you! May I ask which fairytale(s) you’re retelling?
It’s one of those big crew-of-characters adventure stories! I’ve been working on it for a few months now.
All right, that makes sense. I guess it’s because I don’t technically fit under the official definition of being raised in a different country? It’s…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic TOTW – What is a story cliche that you like? in the forum Start HERE 4 years, 5 months ago
Yeah, the forbidden love type is a cliche for a reason! It feels a lot more romantic than other relationships.
And you’re right about it being relatable to a lot of people. Rarely can you stay with everyone you dearly love. Seeing it happen in stories makes you connect to the characters more.

@gh24682468999 Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t consider my setting to be like Tolkien’s or anything, as there are cell phones and computers. Depends on the world, though. Some worlds are more advanced than others in technology.
I am completely fluent in Chinese, but not the most comfortable with it, so I would say second. Maybe if I lived in a…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 Hello! Don’t worry about your username; generally I just copy-paste from underneath the name.
I think the age-limit is 30? Not sure, but I do know there are some young twenties on here.
Good luck on your test!

@gh24682468999 见到一个华人我也很高兴!
My Chinese WIPs are very loosely related to my Magic User world. Essentially the ones I have a clearer idea around focus on some of my Chinese Magic Users and their life in Beijing or other parts of China. Essentially I want to write a bit of urban fantasy for them. I also had this idea of writing a series about…[Read more]
