@kathleenramm Ooh, this is a good question! I’ve tried writing scripts before but they kind of flopped. I still wanna finish one at some point though XD

I think it’d be suuuuper fun to write a screenplay for historical fiction or fantasy (an epic script like LOTR? yes please). And like @gracie-j said, PIRATES. It would be SO MUCH FUN to write a…[Read more]

@kathleenramm When I start feeling discouraged I’ll usually spend some time praying about it and take a short break from writing. I think for me when I’m feeling discouraged it’s usually because I’m comparing myself to other writers or I feel like I’m not working hard enough on my WIP. Usually it’s simply a matter of readjusting my focus.

@kathleenramm I guess usually I just tell myself I’m too tired, and I go on and work on one of my other hobbies for a few months. Or I switch it up. Variety helps a lot.

@kathleenramm Thank you! Maybe someday I’ll revisit that project–’twas a lot of fun to write the first time around.

All of those are excellent choices!! Now I want to rewatch HTTYD…I deeply regret not seeing any of the trilogy in theatres, but I was uncultured at the time, I suppose. I’ve wanted to start watching Studio Ghibli! My husband and…[Read more]

@kathleenramm What an interesting topic!! Though now I’m going to have to wrack my memory for the last book I read for fun… #Englishmajorlife

Okay, I think the last book I completed (or audiobook anyway) was Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn, which is a (sadly no longer canon) Star Wars. There were lots of things I really enjoyed about i…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I’ve only read two of his superhero sci-fi books and they were all right, but not brilliant. So far, that’s been my impression of Sanderson, all right but not brilliant. I will keep reading though!

@kathleenramm

Great topic!  …now I have to remember what I read last! 😆  I’m pretty sure it was The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen.  My favorite thing was probably the MC, Sage’s, personality.  He was street-smart and sarcastic, but also noble.  My least favorite thing was the pace.  A lot of the time it was super slow, with occas…[Read more]

@kathleenramm No, I haven’t tried. The time that I did try writing a story for a kid it ended up being kinda dark…thank goodness she couldn’t read…

My sister did write a kid’s book when she was a kid though! We’re probably all used to writing books for our age groups, haha…

@kathleenramm Definitely a historical movie! Not so much a period drama (not like in the style of any of the Jane Austen/Jane Eyre/romance movies) but more like a biopic (or those movies that aren’t about real people but kind of have the biopic style), I guess. I’ve always dreamed of making a movie about the Wright Brothers in particular! There’s…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Interesting question! The last book I read was The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson, which I finished yesterday! I think my favourite thing was how fleshed out the two main characters (Vin and Kelsier) were! I loved reading about them and rooting for them!

My least favourite thing was how long it was. That put me off reading it f…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Well, I’m in the middle of The Brothers Karamazov, and I haven’t quite finished it yet, so… Other than that, excluding all the manga and books I’ve read for school, the last book I read was… The Summer of the Swans, by Betsy Byars. It won a Newberry Medal. My favorite thing was how nostalgic I felt reading it. The copy I have i…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I’ve been thinking about this question ever since you posted it, partially because it’s such a good question, and partially because the one full-length screenplay I’ve written was about a Godfather-style fairy mafia. Title? The Godmother. You’re welcome. 😛

Nowadays, I think I would love to write a comedy, preferably one with some…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Hi Kathleen! I started writing poetry and novels around maybe two years, though I’ve been writing in general ever since I was little. I think what inspired me was probably all the awesome stories I read and see around me.

I’m really am excited to get into this community more! BTW, I really love your videos! They are amazing and so…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

In a very informal/unofficial way, I do make mini-movies. The most recent being an animated sword move and a book trailer I made for my WIP (they didn’t turn out half bad, but nothing to brag about a whole lot XD ).
Anyway, back on topic… I think The Snow Warrior would make an excellent action film (or whatever pacing was used i…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Yanhua would make a beautiful anime film, I think.

Yes, writing a screenplay for an animated film would be amazing, especially since you don’t have to worry about actors and things. But I think I’d be a good screenwriter for maybe like a drama or something. I think that The Mafia of Heather Flights would make a great crime drama, a…[Read more]

@kathleenramm – That’s quite impressive to exceed heightened expectations though I quite agree with you! I’m jealous that you have many people you can talk to about that and other books! Unfortunately, it seems like reading, in general, has been on a decline and it’s been difficult to find people wanting to discuss them, that’s partly why I’m…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

In my head, my WIP, Lioness, would be an amazing movie, but on paper… it needs some TLC, lol!  Any clean, apocalyptic movie would be good imo. 😄

What about you?  What story premise (idea or WIP) would you want to screen write?

@kathleenramm

For me it would totally be action.  I adore all movies action/thriller/suspense/adventure/etc, and it would be sooo amazing to see one of my books in film.  Honestly, that’s how I imagine them already lol
