I’ve tried to write mysteries, but alas, they are too predictable and trashy. 😆  However, I love to read them!  I like your idea–it sounds great to me!! I also think that world of Cirque would also be really interesting to develop.  (Btw, is November a girl or boy?  Sometimes it’s hard to tell with names 😉)  I’m intri…[Read more]

🥰 Thanks so much!!

@devastate-lasting

I got you, thanks so much!! 😉

@annika-c

I just got the book from the library! Looking forward to reading it.

@gracie-j

Thank you so much!  Typos… 😒  And punctuation has never been my friend.  Thank you for the advice!

@kathleenramm

Yeah, I know what you mean.  That’s an interesting thought–I’ve never really paid attention to authors’ favoritism.  I’ll have to think about it.  I feel like I’ve read that kinda thing before though, and I’ve definitely written it!! 😂

@nova21

Oof, yes. XD I know those characters far too well.  Have you ever read a book with a character that you had a sneaking suspicion was the author’s favorite character? I feel like the try-hard comic relief characters are often those characters, but since the author likes the character so much they’re oblivious to it. XD Not sure if you’ve c…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Definitely.  On a slightly different note, I hate it when people write comic relief characters who are so try-hard!! 😄 I almost put the book down (e.g. Uriah in the Divergent series–I liked him in the first book, but in the last two, he was super cringy)  Anyways, it’s interesting to see how so many writers (most of the time) s…[Read more]

I think what you mentioned right there is the epitome of writing. Most likely all writers at one point or another write about situations we have no experience ever doing but write about it as if we did it just that morning. XD And it’s totally prevalent when writing banter between two characters wholly different from you. Their…[Read more]

Looks like you found someone, but if you ever need another someone, I’m here 🙂 I have six-ish years of “real” writing experience (?? how does one define that, anyway?) and also have done a lot of academic writing (although unfortunately I do not enjoy it), I’ve written parts of multiple novels, finished one (non-novel) book, edited my own and…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I struggle with everything everyone else has mentioned, but I always have the hardest time trying to make friendly banter between two characters.  Since I write in a different setting than real life, I can’t use the banter between me and my friends as inspiration.  (It’s also mostly cheesy stuff anyways. 🙂 ) So yeah, I’ll be w…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting

Is it bad that I’ve never written romance in any form before? I love creating deep, meaningful, and complicated relationships, but never romance. Probably because I don’t read romance often, and I’m only seventeen so romance isn’t something I think about, like, ever. XD

But I can see how writing romance would be difficult.…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

That’s quite hard for me to answer! Death scenes are hard for me to write emotionally speaking, especially as someone who has had two very beloved family members die traumatically. It’s just hard for me to treat them as blase as I used to when I was a younger writer and I struggle with them quite a lot.

More mentally though, stupid…[Read more]
