@avacoulter I’ve written/am working on a ton of projects right now, short stories, web fiction, novels, novellas… I like short stories because they’re quick and you can have instant satisfaction of finishing them, but also I tend to only write short story beginnings and nothing else, which is annoying on my part, haha.

@kathleenramm When I first started writing, I wish I had known that it’s okay to make sloppy first drafts. Trying to make my story great the first time slowed me down and often left me discouraged about my writing.

@avacoulter Yeah, I agree, there is a balance to find.

Do you write a lot of short stories or have you just been working on this main project?

@trahia-the-minstrel Hi!! I’m so sorry I’ve been dead on KP… *cries* Oh, my, I’ve really been ghosting the forum, eh? I’m so sorry! Please forgive me. I’m so busy lately that I just don’t have so much time for KP anymore. (Sorry in advance if I reply late to you ever again 😅)

Oooo, yes, I LOVE Zelda games!! Thanks for tagging me!

Hmm.. I…[Read more]

@avacoulter Nice, nice! I like watching where my characters take me (since I’m a pantser too) but I think I like writing the ending most. It’s very satisfying, and also kinda bittersweet.

@kathleenramm I wish I knew that typing was more efficient than handwriting.

Thanks to choices my 12 year old self made, I am still handwriting a certain story to this day.

@avacoulter It’s probably the farthest I’ve gotten in a novel, actually, heh. I’m looking forward to writing the ending.

What do you like most about the writing process?

@avacoulter Oo, interesting! Dystopian stories are always fun.

One of my current projects is about a guy named Joey who works at an antique store, time, wings, existence, and memory. It’s a weird kind of story so I feel like a premise wouldn’t encapsulate it enough. It’s basically inspired by things and people I saw throughout summer.

@avacoulter Hm, I’ve written so many, it’s hard to choose a favorite, haha. Do you have a premise for your current WIP?

@avacoulter Fair, fair, haha. Any favorite stories you’ve written so far?

@avacoulter Hoi, welcome! I’m Lin, always dabbling in a variety genres, like crime/fantasy and other things.

It’s been so long since I’ve commented on any of the intro threads, haha. Anything in particular you wish to share?

@elishavet-pidyon

Well, I only kind of read The Archer’s Cup… 😛 I started in the middle and skimmed through the rest. I thought it was good; not my favorite book in the series, but definitely better than some other books I’ve read. 😉

Oh, that is so cool! The GE actually series inspired me to start a fanfic, too! I haven’t worked on it in month…[Read more]

@power That makes a tad more sense… No need to rephrase it again, people reading this thread will understand.

I suppose I am best at writing emotional snippets, usually quite sad and dreamlike. Not sure, though. Not many people have read them.

@power Bold of you to assume that I can’t both be a writer and a brontosaurus.

As for what I excel at, I can’t exactly tell you. The way your question is phrased raises a lot of questions in me. Why, what kind of writing do you excel at?

@keilah-h

Ooo, can’t wait to see them!

@keilah-h

Aww, thanks so much! 😀

@joy-caroline

Yes, MCs are hard! When it comes to pinpointing flaws, I always have the most trouble with them. 😛

I’m so glad you think so!
Yes, that is a great example of his impulsiveness! 🙂

I know!!! I want to hug him, too, honestly… XD I’m so glad you like him! 😀

This is a bit off topic, but how long have you been working on The Apos…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Nope, only taken breaks. Because at this point I’ve invested too much time in it to stop.

Already did.
