Yeah, I get it. Characters like that are hard, but I love to read and write them!!

This is great! The first sentence is amazing! 😃 Wonderful job!
If you wanted to, it might be interesting to make Corvina more stoic on the outside, but conflicted only on the inside. As a servant of the Destroyer, I would personally want to try to keep my feelings to myself, lol!! 😂
Thanks for sharing!! I hope you post more…[Read more]

What was the most difficult scene for you to write and why?
I’m not sure if this scene was THE hardest I’ve ever written, but it was definitely a challenge. The scene was a rooftop fight scene that I wrote at the beginning of this year. It was the first time I’d written a fight scene on a rooftop (or any rooftop scene, for that matter) and their…[Read more] -
SeekJustice replied to the topic Wanted: Writer friend in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 9 months ago
I’m around too if you ever want to drop me a line 😀 We sound like we’re at pretty similar stages in writing. I started writing when I was ten or eleven but I’ve been writing seriously (for me, that means with the goal of being traditionally published) since I was about sixteen, so almost five years now working towards being…[Read more]

SeekJustice replied to the topic How many of you are published? in the forum Publishing & Platform 5 years, 9 months ago
Why The Horse and His Boy?? I am remarkably curious. I didn’t really grow up sheltered at all, so when my more conservative friends (this happens to me in real life just as much as on the internet) say they weren’t able to read/watch certain things I get confused 😀

I just watched AtLA for the first time last month, and as someone who was expecting the typical kids show, (or just any tv show for that matter), it blew my expectations right out of the water. Particularly with what you mention with Zuko’s character arc. I love the thought and care the writers put into him and the entire story.…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Short Story Secret Santa? (Idea) in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 9 months ago
This is an awesome idea! I’ve been in sort of a short story writing spree the past couple months so this is perfect. And doing this post Christmas is also a great idea to have something to look forward to, (and give us more time to write the short stories). XD

Kathleen replied to the topic Bullet Journaling in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 9 months ago
I love bullet journaling! I’ve been doing it for a couple of years now, and it’s the perfect mashup of both my love for organization and doodling! Plus, they’re super fun to look back on and remeber where you were years ago.
My favorite bullet journaling YouTuber is AmandaRachLee. She’s great if you want some bullet journal ideas…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic How has your writing changed since you first started? in the forum Topic of the Week 5 years, 9 months ago
Exactly! I don’t just want to write entertaining stories, I want to write stories that last forever.
Haha, yes. I think we’ve all at some point wrote totally spontaneous stories and wrote whatever cool thing popped in our heads first. XD
But like you said, with structure the story ideas can be fully utilized to…[Read more]

@devestate-lasting, @godlyfantasy12
A thousand years ago, I was taken from my forest, chosen by the Great Dragon to become his immortal servant–I never thought I would become his best friend.

Long ago, the world was split in half:Â one side was governed by industrialism, the other side governed by nature–and way between these two places was protected by the Guardian.

How has your writing process changed since you first started?
For me, it’s the way I approach telling a story. When I first started writing the main thing I would think about is the plot and what would be the most interesting events for the story. Now, what I think before I start writing a story is, “Why am I writing this?” and “Why does this…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Hello Everyone in the forum Start HERE 5 years, 9 months ago
The notebook switch you do with your friend is really cool. I’ve never thought of doing that before but I really want to try that now.
I can definitely relate to wanting to try EVERYTHING out. It sometimes feels like I gain a new hobby every week. XD
Scenes and characters from stories are my favorite thing to draw as well! Art…[Read more]

Hey there! You sound like a fascinating person! I’d love to hear more about your mechanical engineering and your woodworking? What sort of things do you make? I really want to get into leather working but I’ve never tried doing any sort of woodwork. and bookbinding obviously sounds awesome!
Who are some of your favourite authors?

Kathleen replied to the topic Writing Software in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 9 months ago
I use good ol’ google docs. Because of the simplicity and I can easily share docs with my siblings. But I’ve heard a lot of good things about Scrivener and been wanting to try it out for a while.

Hi! And welcome to the forum! Here’s a virtual hot chocolate to warm your hands.
Did you say drawing, linguistics, bookbinding, and music? Those are some of my favorite things too! Along with writing of course. What languages do you know/ are learning?
It’s great that you get to write with your friend. I love to write with a few…[Read more]

What’s your blog’s name?
Kind of… 😛 I opened one up a while back and wrote a few posts but I’m terrible with consistency and dropped off from it. Lately I’ve been thinking of trying again, maybe putting up some of the scenes or songs from the mini musical I wrote for my little sisters, or publishing some of my poems, but I just n…[Read more]

It’s pretty good so far. 🙂 I’m only about halfway through it. (Sorry, Jen…so slow, I know. 😛 )
