Hi Kathleen!

#1 Oh cool! I have read the Hobbit, but not the Silmarillion yet. It’s definitely on my ‘books to read’ list tho XD

#2 Great question! Some of my favorite poets are Emily Dickinson, Edgar Guest, and John Greenleaf Whittier. Hmm favorite poems…gosh I have so many, we’d be here all day XD, but one that comes to mind…[Read more]

Thank you, Power, for the wonderful poem

It made me feel right at home

As you read and cringe at my reply

Yes, it’s very clear. I cannot lie

That writing poetry is not my thing

But thank you again for welcoming me

Hi Jodi! Nice to meet you as well! 🙂

Oh neat! I haven’t gotten into writing in the historical fiction genre as much yet…maybe someday XD

#1 My current WIP is a dystopian trilogy. The city that much of the story takes place in is called Kalopsia (which basically means appearing more beautiful than it actually is) and it has quite a bit of…[Read more]

@jodi-maile

I know, right? I hated revising at first, but now it’s a lot harder to move into a new book instead of constantly polishing what I already have.

Also, I totally get the thing about the scariness of caring about publication. I have a feeling Yanet part of what may be holding me back at the moment, so maybe I should just enjoy w…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I’m actually struggling quite a bit right now, though I definitely don’t want to give up. I’m sorta having trouble reigniting my passion for free-writing after a very long editing sesh on my first book. I want to rewrite my second one, and I’m getting stuck even in the outline — I just want it to be so good. I know it could be…[Read more]

Already did.

@anatra23

YESS!!! I had actually watched two before number one, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen it, so I DEFINITELY need to do a re-watch too.

@godlyfantasy12

You should totally do it! It takes a lot of work, but it’s really cool when you start to see your scenes and characters come to life on screen, moving! I actually have done a bit of animation and storyboarding for an anime op for my book, actually. I’ll see if I can link it here:

Um — so I figured out it wasn’t working. However…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting
True. Where do all those Eastern Dragons be tho?

@trahia-the-minstrel

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]

@elanor

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]

@issawriter7

Yes! Shadow Throne is my favourite, too, I think! Jaron’s tactics in it are just so good, and the ending was just so satisfying, and there were times where I wasn’t sure how he was gonna get out of those situations, but he did. And I really wanted him to be with Imogen at the end somehow, and he was — although I kinda could…[Read more]

@jodi-maile

I love the Boiling Rock episodes! They’re some of my favourite — the bromance between Zuko and Sokka is just so good!😁

@elanor

Just an idea, feel free to toss it away — what if when Zyla escapes she’s crying after this argument with Kedja, and as she gets to the perimeter, she hears Kedja’s screams? This could be a way to hit home…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

You’re good. Yes, I did get the email!! Sorry for my late response. The weekend was busy and then school slammed on me right after that, but I plan to be catching up to all my emails this evening. *GASPS*  EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I AM SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaaah, YES!!! See?…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

I think my shortest time to write a novel was the first novel I ever wrote, a fan fic which I’m pretty sure took me under a year.

My longest has been my current project The Prince of WalfKlau (working title), in which it took me roughly 2 years to write the first and second book, back to back, another whole year to revise the e…[Read more]

Shortest story to write: That’d be the first novel I completed at like 12 years old. I wrote it in a month, and I have no idea how long it was, probably less than 50K but maybe not. I wrote it by hand, and I was probably able to finish it so quickly because I had a lot of free time on my hands. I was homeschooled with few other hobbies, y’all.…[Read more]

wow, you guys are doing great so I think I’ll not give my input since y’all already said it so well!!

@anatra23

Of course!!! 🙂

THEY ARE!!!!! I’ve seen one and two. Oooo that’s a hard one. I don’t know if I can pick one. I really LOVED number one because Shane Harper was in it, but then again, I just adored the plotline of number two following the teacher. I don’t think I can pick. XD I’m just gonna say both of them. Which one’s your favorite?
