@kathleenramm Nope, only taken breaks. Because at this point I’ve invested too much time in it to stop.

@trahia-the-minstrel Yes!! It’s so hard for me to move into writing a new book, editing is one of my favorite parts. I feel like it’s easier to see the light at the end of the tunnel when I’m almost done editing, you know? Like all the effort is about to pay off, because I’m almost done with the project, and it’ll be published soon or something…[Read more]

Jodi Maile replied to the topic Have you ever considered quitting writing? Why or why not? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 9 months ago
@kathleenramm Yes. I actually have quit writing before. I just thought I was never going to measure up as a writer on my own, since I’m always so harsh on my own work. I lose faith in it and just hate it and then delete it or abandon it entirely. That had been going on for about seven years before I tentatively stepped into writing again last…[Read more]

Oof, painful topic. Can’t say I’ve had too many of these ideas, as no idea is too wild for my lil brain from when I wrote the most.
Though, when I was like, eight, my best friend and I wrote a book about two girls who got kidnapped and were rescued. That’s like, the premise of the whole thing. With a dorky happy clumsy crime-boss…[Read more]

Two words.
Hunterclone Run.
A VERY badly done Star Wars: The Last Jedi fanfic. I’m not even going to mention how many plot holes and strange twists in the story there were.
I actually finished it, and realized it was really pathetic, and was going to rewrite it but never did.
Actually, I have a much better example. Lizard Bass (I know,…[Read more]

@kathleenramm My second short story I was going to start. It was going to be about characters in a story who were going to be fighting these monsters at the end of the world, but they were kind of like actors in a movie setup with the Narrator as the director. The story would alternate between them inside the Story and their lives outside of the…[Read more]

Keilah H. replied to the topic Help. I Just Don't Get the Appeal of the Wingfeather Saga in the forum Fantasy 4 years, 9 months ago
@r-m-archer has a point too. Just because the author had one or two trashy books or even a whole trashy series doesn’t mean he can’t improve. (When I say “trashy,” I mean clichés, bad writing style and underdeveloped plot/characters/events. I don’t mean explicit content or bad teaching/morals.)

@not-so-secret-secret-assassin
@e-k-seaver has a point. You can like or dislike whatever book series you want.
Also, I think the dragons come into play more during the second book, and then they come in even more in the third and fourth.

Mmm, as much as I loved One’s debate (and Harper B]) I’m a sucker for political shows like Two. I ate up the drama, and it has breached my top 10 moves that nearly made my eyes leak. So I’d have to say Two. Tho I seriously need to rewatch them.

@devastate-lasting
True. Where do all those Eastern Dragons be tho?True. True. I actually liked the three introductions when I first read it too. I thought it was a deliberate poke at all the fantasy clichés. I hoped the story would be a somewhat fun yet heartfelt parody of the common fantasy stories. However, the rest of…[Read more]

Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin replied to the topic How do I make a non-cliche escape scene? in the forum Plotting 4 years, 9 months ago
I have written quite a few escape scenes in my lifetime (the very nature of my stories require it to be so), and cliche escape scenes are one of my pet peeves in stories, so I think that I have a few tips that I can help you with.
First, what constitutes a “bad escape scene”?
1. It’s super easy, and it makes the villain look weak
2. It’s…[Read more] -
Lin replied to the topic Any Urban Fantasy clean book recommendations? in the forum Book Discussions 4 years, 9 months ago
@daisy-torres Aye, I’ve heard both good and bad things about Wattpad, and I feel like the stuff I write doesn’t fit into the romance vibe of it, so for now I’m hopefully going to be sticking with Webnovel and Tapas. I’m glad you had a good experience with it though.

@kathleenramm Lemme see if I can find the premise again…
There are 13 worlds. There are Magic Users. There is a question: “Why is there no happy ending for a Magic User?”
13 different installments, following so many different storylines that somehow entwine together.
This is the story of the Magic Users, and their search for a happy…

@faith-q Here’s my ideas:
Like everyone else said, there’s a difference between obeying your ruler completely and respecting them as the Bible says.
If a leader tells you to steal or murder, will you? It goes against God’s law and is therefore wrong, no matter what earthly rulers may think or say. Think of Christians under Muslim or Communist…[Read more]
