Kathleen replied to the topic What’s an unexpected place you got a story idea from? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years ago
Haha, well, it doesn’t really have to be exciting to be unexpected.
Like the amount of times I’ve gotten story ideas out of an unexpected look, laugh, or hello is absurd.
Have you ever gotten an idea for a certain trait for a character from a person you know?
That’s cool. Now you’ll have to credit Evanescence as a co-writer…[Read more]

Oof, yeah. Present tense first person isn’t something I’ve ever tried, but I can already see it going terribly wrong, haha.
The ending is pretty good? I was always a little curious about how it was going to end, but know I’m even more intrigued. I guess I’m going to have to finish it then!
As for your questions about The Hunger…[Read more]

Yo, your favorite food are definitely top tier foods.
Blue used to be my favorite color, until I started liking other colors too much and now I’m just confused, haha.

What’s something you always thought was necessary in writing, but actually wasn’t?
For the longest time I thought if you weren’t writing a romance, you had to have a main villain/ antagonist.Because without a antagonist your story would be boring and have zero conflict right? Boy was I wrong.
Antagonist are great and most stories are better…[Read more]

Oh wow. YOUR ART IS AMAZING. When I first saw it I had to double check that I was on the KP forum and not an art forum, haha. It’s seriously that good.
How did you learn to draw?
Also, Heroic Legend of Arslan looks like a really cool novel series. Do you recommend?

The Premise to your WIP sound interesting! Do you have any favorite characters from the novel yet?
Also, flying is an awesome choice. I’d probably choose the same thing. If I could fly, I’d probably hang out on rooftops and trees all the time, haha.

Yo, I’m not even surprised that people always compliment you on your pros. It’s one of a kind.

What’s your biggest strength and weakness as a writer?
For me, probably my biggest weakness is staying consistent. I usually write a bunch all at once and then ghost my story for weeks until my schedule is a bit more relaxed or I have a sudden burst of motivation and disregard sleep almost entirely, haha.So yeah, that’s something I’ve struggled…[Read more]

Probably the strangest book I’ve ever read was a book I read awhile ago… Alice in Wonderland.Take everything about a normal book then make it the complete opposite. That’s Alice in Wonderland for you.
One of my favorite things about this book is it’s a metaphor for…[Read more]

Mirabelle crossed her arms “Wait, let me get this straight; your double ganger was blackmailing you and you were appeasing him with Chipotle?”
Milo’s double ganger’s smile widened “Yo, your sister is smart lol.”

Kathleen replied to the topic Have you ever written a story with multiple POV? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 1 month ago
Yeah, I really like how adding multiple POV you can explore different avenues of the story while adding a new flavor to the narrative.
What the most POV you’ve ever had in one story?
It’s really cool how you split up POV with your sister like that! My siblings and I might do that in the future, but right now…[Read more]

Have you ever written a story with multiple POV?                                                       If so, how did it go? And if not, why?
I usually write in one POV, because I can really hone in and focus on that character and their thought process, voice, feelings, etc.
But there is o…[Read more]

Fear rippled through my body and I grabbed the closest thing in reach (which happened to be a mostly empty domino’s pizza box) and chucked it at the figure.
The pizza box bounced harmlessly off the figure’s back, and it spun around Poptart box still in hand.
My heart dropped to my feet; that figure… that person… that thing, was me.

I’m super late, but I just wanted to say that I love your most recent character sketch!! You can really get an idea of what kind of character he is by looking at it.
How long have you been doing character illustrations? And did you learn from anyone?
