@allisongrace Hello! You kind of look familiar, but I’m not sure.

Oh wow someone else who likes handwriting! I have drafted everything that I’ve written so far by hand. I think it’s way easier to have a visual goal in front of you as well as calculating word counts and managing goals. And also you don’t get distracted as easily.

Do you name your plants?

@kathleenramm Not off the top of my head but I think there’s some Webtoons out there that I might’ve read sometime…I also like incorporating it into my own writing too XD

@kathleenramm Uh…I had to look up a list because I don’t remember anything that I actually like…but I do like the “grumpy one that has a soft spot for only that one other character” trope. I think it’s cute. And also it shows that people are complex and are more than just their demeanor.

@leon-fleming When did you become knight in shining…[Read more]

@michelle I think my sister read that! The characters designs are quite good in that one.

@michelle What about you? 🙂

@michelle I like a lot of them! Fullmetal Alchemist, Monster, Devil is a Part Timer, Bungou Stray Dogs…I’m currently on Banana Fish and Assassination Classroom.

@michelle Basically I read enough of the Naruto wiki to know everything about it, but after revealing to a bunch of guys after a long Naruto convo that I didn’t watch anime, they basically went on a long tirade on how I should, and thus, I fell into the anime hole. Well, usually I don’t have enough time so I read a lot more manga.

@millennium Yeah! Covers all the things that a novel should cover. Conflict, theme, characters…

@michelle I’m very bad at cooking, but I know how to bake. I don’t watch TV but I do watch anime (which counts, I guess) and my top three (in no particular order) are 91 Days, Zankyou no Terror, and Your lie in April. What about you?

@leon-fleming Your words ring very true. Thank you for the reminder.

Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll be sure to check them out once libraries open again.

@michelle I live in MA, and usually it fluctuates between hot and cold and just staying a very chilly tone. Sometimes warm, and then it’s nice. Cookies are very good! Hard or soft ones?

@leon-fleming I’m afraid I’ve only read And Then There Were None and Murder On The Orient Express. I should read more of her, though. I love her writing.

I guess mainly I want to portray “messed up people doing messed up things in a messed of world”, because honestly, that really is what life is like, right? Just different degrees of “messed up”.

@leon-fleming Haha no worries! Any poetry of yours is welcome in my inbox XD

@leon-fleming I think you should know I received an email with a poem in it. It was very nice. I might specify that it’s your poem XD

@kathleenramm I really like villains in general, but they have to have some sort of element to them that I like. For example, I really disliked Count Olaf, but he was a really great villain.

So my saga has a wide cast of characters, all of whom appear in some way or another. A character may be a hero in one book but a villain in another,…[Read more]

@leon-fleming Haha yeah. Fireflies seems to be a pretty popular song.

@kathleenramm Oh yeah! They say one way to craft a really good villain is to take your main character but twist him wrong. Though, I must say, this wouldn’t work if you have multiple villains.

Personally when writing I like writing from my villain’s POV most. It makes him seem more human to me.

@millennium @leon-fleming My signature on SE used to be “I like to make myself believe…that planet Earth…turns…slowly” actually XD

@millennium Ooh. That is a solid premise.

@leon-fleming Oh I remember my guild used to have a thing like that XD
