@kathleenramm Honestly most of things started out from this world I created when I was a kid. I just created it to escape to; there’s nothing special about it. So gradually as I got older I’d begun developing it and making characters and often if I was reading a book or watching a movie or listening to a song, I’d think, “Oh, it’d be cool if there…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Hi! I’m not sure if you guys are going to know this lol. I have read lots of books with realistic characters, but right now I am going to say Jack Torrance from The Shining!

@kathleenramm @leon-flemming

Okay, okay, Cap’s beard isn’t terrible. XD It just strikes me as odd that all the other movies he’s in, there’s no beard. Then, poof!, he has one. And just as soon as you get used to it, it’s gone!

*end of random rant*

@kathleenramm I’m gonna have to say Cal Trask from East of Eden. He seemed very, very human to me. I think it was because he was foils with his brother, Aron, and since Aron was the perfect person that we all attain to be, Cal is our sinful self, who could never measure up to Aron.

@kathleenramm Haha now that you say it it does sound kinda sadistic…but I don’t do it often 😉

Yes, the high emotion really helps to develop characters and help spice up the story if it feels too flat!

@kathleenramm

To read: Plot twist!!! Though I also love a good dialogue or description. And suspense in a story will definitely keep me reading, especially if I’m trying to figure things out along with the main character rather than knowing what’s going on and simply pleading with the main character to FIGURE IT OUT ALREADY. XD

To write: I enjoy…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I don’t know about reading, but I love writing wounded people scenes. There’s blood everywhere, almost everyone’s panicking, and I get to display just how little I actually know about medical stuff.

@kathleenramm

I once started a Pirates of the Caribbean fan fic, but I never finished it. Avengers and SW are my current favorite fandoms, so when I write fan fic, they’re my go-to. I wrote some Narnia fan fic ages ago.

Ooo, that’s a hard question… The best are probably the originals. They’re classic and fun. The worst I’d have to say are the…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

It’s so good to meet you!

Yes! Another person who sits for hours and listens to audiobooks! I wish I was good at sketching, but alas, my talents lie in other areas. XD

Well, I’ve had comments on my handwriting range from “wow, that’s really nice” to “what does this even say?” XD

My first novel took up about 1.5 single subject…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Oh gosh lol I don’t know XD What are some of your favorite tropes?

@kathleenramm Not off the top of my head but I think there’s some Webtoons out there that I might’ve read sometime…I also like incorporating it into my own writing too XD

@kathleenramm There are so many!!! The rich guy and the poor girl getting together, that’s why I am not a fan of historical dramas lol

@kathleenramm Uh…I had to look up a list because I don’t remember anything that I actually like…but I do like the “grumpy one that has a soft spot for only that one other character” trope. I think it’s cute. And also it shows that people are complex and are more than just their demeanor.

@leon-fleming When did you become knight in shining…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Yeah, I see what you mean about the incompetent hero being relatable. I think every person is fundamentally insecure about something, so having that played out in a book usually strikes a chord.

I like the forbidden love type (Romeo and Juliet, the song Rewrite the Stars, etc). I don’t know why exactly. It’s usually very feel-sy…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Ah, yes, mostly because they’re actual realistically relatable. 🙂  (I love tLotR as well, btw.)

Fav book by her? That’s tough. Probably the best two Scarlet Pimpernel books, The Scarlet Pimpernel and El Dorado. But they’re all so good…love Unto Caesar and The Hundred Days as well, among the rest. You? Or have you read any?

@kathleenramm Haha! Yep, this is one fast rabbit to follow XD I just love it, I could go on all day. I heard a lot about The Hunger Games ( too much about Lord Of The Rings lol) what do you like best about Hunger Games?

@kathleenramm Yes!!! Beauty and the beast has a very strong message FUN FACT FOR YOU!! (because I can XD) in the original story, the prince wasn’t turned into a beast by an enchantress because he was selfish and cold-hearted and turned down a kind old lady. In the original the prince is innocent. An old ugly witch wanted to marry him, and he…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Story and character arcs in general, really. Chauvelin is such a malevolent, evil guy, but seems so sacrificial and kind on the surface. And he’s definitely gone down the wrong road, to get there. But he’s believable, realistic in the era and story, etc, which is rare for me and super awesome! That’s neat that you want to read it- I…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Yes, it really is! it is sad but beautiful. You should read it:)

I mean Disney princess movies have good songs and all that, but they kinda push the falling in love thing too hard XD “Fantasise about that fairy tale wedding 5-year-olds” they get those priorities in line early lol

Ooh man, I have lots, but I really like The Story of…[Read more]

@kathleenramm  I never read any of those kinds of books but I am guessing from what I hear. Twilight is one of those books.
