@annabelle Yeah, you can talk about anything!
Wow, congratulations on your author spotlight! It looks quite interesting!
As someone who is also juggling several projects, I relate. Which one is your favorite story to work on right now?
Ah, I’ve always gotten emails from YWW, but never could bring myself to join. But I’m planning on taking some…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang started the topic Writer's Corner #505 in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 3 months ago
Hello, one and all! For those of you who are newer, we used to have some topics called “Writer’s Corner” or something like that, but I’m far too lazy to search for the previous ones or consult how many of these we have been through, so we can just start a new one.
This thread is just a place for off-topic chats, where we can talk about our day or…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What come to you first? Plot or Characters? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 3 months ago
@kathleenramm I’d say both. Sometimes I have names and character ideas and I want to flesh out a plot around them; other times I have a plot idea and I make up quick characters to fill in the blanks. But if I had to choose one, it’s most likely characters first.

Lovely poem!!! It looks like @thelobsterlover and @power did a phenomenal job explaining everything, so there’s not much for me to say, other than great job! 😀

Lydia S. replied to the topic Characteristic Lines in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 4 months ago
So, I’m not the only one who does that!!! XD I very rarely read the ending of a book at the end of the book… Usually I spoil it for myself somewhere during the first chapter or maybe even before starting the first chapter… *facepalm* Honestly, I blame it on my writing style. I always know how my stories end and begin, so I guess…[Read more]

Lydia S. replied to the topic I'm giving you permission to rant about your WIP in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 4 months ago
Yeah, ofc!!!
Aww, thank you!!!! I know; I LOVE redemption scenes… I’ll probably end up writing way too many for this series, and only a few will make it into the novels, but I’ll enjoy every minute of it. XD
Yes, I love being able to connect with Bible characters like this!!! It’s fascinating to get into their heads and persona…[Read more]

Lydia S. replied to the topic I finally read Green Ember!! in the forum Book Discussions 3 years, 4 months ago
Agh, yay!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. XD I agree; it’s an awesome setting and basic plot. It’s very unique to have helpless animals armed and fighting dangerous predators.
I LOVED the series! Ember’s End was my favorite book, I think… How about you?
HELMER ALL THE WAY.

I really love him… His complexity, backstory, r…[Read more]

Congrats on getting your book published!!! That is so excited. Unfortunately, I don’t have a blog or social media at the moment, so I won’t be able to take you up on your offer. Wishing you the best with this, though! 🙂

Anne is a phenomenal character, I agree! She’s Lizzie’s opposite in nearly every way, and, although I love Lizzie, I have to say Anne is my fav. 😉 She’s such a sweet, quiet heroine. Plus, another point in favor of Persuasion is Frederick Wentworth’s letter… *happy sigh* 😛
Aww, thanks so much!!! I’m glad you think so. 😀

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Some questions about characters in the forum Characters 3 years, 4 months ago
1. Plenty.
2. For any of them probably just number 4.
3. Worst, like, most evil or worst written? I feel like I’ve read/watched a lot of awful villains, but I can’t really think off the top of my head the most evil.
4. A lot, haha, but then I warp them enough that no one can recognise them.

CONGRATS ON YOUR NOVEL!!!! I’m so happy for you! XD That is so exciting.
Hi! Welcome to the KP forum! I’m Lydia. 🙂 You’re writing about mermaids?? How fun! I’ve dabbled in writing mermaid stories myself! I ended up dropping that project, but it was a retelling of Ariel called Rebel. (Now that I’m thinking about it,…[Read more]

Hi! I don’t think we’ve met yet. I’m Lydia. 🙂 Welcome (very belatedly) to the KP forum! As a side note, I saw you’re a fan of J.A.’s Persuasion, and I am, too! XD I think it’s my favorite J.A. book. 😀

Agh, WFR sounds FANTASTIC!!! I’m already rooting for Russel and Eliza. XD
Well, my WIPs are progressing minimally at the moment. However, my brain is still cooking up and mulling over scenes for my Biblical fiction series (And side books). And Simon (the Zealot). AH, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. XD (Joining @elfwing in evil author…[Read more]

Lydia S. replied to the topic My Series Keeps Growing! in the forum Fantasy 3 years, 4 months ago
Ah, yes, the multiplying storyline issue. I have dealt with this before, but not in an extreme form. (I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, honestly. lol) For my fantasy WIP, I started with a trilogy (and it might have even been meant to be a stand-alone, originally… I can’t remember). Then, the writer’s brain went…[Read more]

@scoutfinch180 Interpolation is when your mind fills in the gaps, for example, you read a brief description of a character but a few pages later you already have their face in your mind. It’s pretty cool!

No kidding! They really do put up with quite a bit… XD
Hmmm… I’m not sure! Helmer’s death didn’t come as a surprise for me. *cough* I may or may not have skimmed through the ending the moment I got the book in my hands to see if he was there… And when he wasn’t, I may or may not have then skimmed through the rest of the…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Hmmm most recently probably comes from my English professor. Probably: “If there’s an upper word count limit then it means that this assignment can be done very well and with quality in this word count or under.” I guess overall, length isn’t everything.
Oh, and there was talk about interpolation and sensory description and…[Read more]
