Hi Kathleen,

Wow! Thank you that was all so helpful!!

Okay, so I guess the ‘main theme’ would be struggling to build a new identity for herself. She has to choose who she wants to define her, whether that be living the life in high society or embracing the anew life in Christ with fellow Catholics. So family, belonging, hap…[Read more]

Themes are so neat! I love finding little hidden lessons in the books I read.

Now, adding them isn’t always quite so easy, and I know I have a long way to go before my stories properly portray their themes. (I have to write them first, for one… 😉 )

But I agree with the others: multiple themes are fantastic and best when they all work…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Hmm I’m not used to brainstorming with others but sometimes I’ll brainstorm if I’m really really stuck, usually I prefer to get ideas from everywhere around me and letting it simmer in my head into something coherent. Maybe because I’m not used to telling other people about my ideas XD And they’ll probably not understand the end vibe I want.

@kathleenramm

yeah most of my characters are at least somwhat based off music. I have adhd and anxiety and music help, but it also helps me write too. My playlist is all over the place lol so it works well for diversity XD

@kathleenramm Yes~creating new worlds and seeing where the story leads!! How about for yourself??

@elanor I’m not entirely sure how I would classify it. I would probably say more like historical fiction in a fantasy setting, but without the fantasy element… which probably makes no sense LOL I used to write poetry, but I haven’t written any for…[Read more]

UMMM…

*cough….cough…*

Pretty much all of them…..???

*sheepish grin*

ok no but seriously….music is like….a huge inspiration for scenes. Like….I cannot explain how huge. ENORMOUSLY HUGE. GIGANTIC. MASSIVE. ALL THE OTHER WORDS MEANING BIG THAT I CANNOT THINK OF AT THE MOMENT XD.

@kathleenramm

Thank you!

@kathleenramm Yes, definitely! There’s too many to count, haha. But a couple I can remember:

• Bird Song by Florence and the Machine
• Gasoline by Brand New, covered by Falling Up
• Daylight by Northern Abbey

I’ve tried starting some based off of them, but usually I just write down the ideas and keep it for later. Too many ideas, too little time.

@kathleenramm
Being a sign holder might actually be a good job to get the artist juices flowing throu the brain. You world definitely have a lot of down time. (Side note: A story about a sign holder might be kinda interesting. The Sign Holder Superhero.)

Sporange. . . interesting. I still don’t think my poetic powers are up for to challenge.

@kathleenramm

I honestly don’t exactly know, but I think they are usually like me on that respect: they are either a weak E or a weak I. In other words, a wee bit shy, but with a love for people.

Or perhaps they are in a strange position that forces them to pretend to be VERY extroverted, like walking up to a random stranger and commenting on…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Oooo that’s tricky. The novel I am planning for now has an introverted main character and an extroverted antagonist, which should be fun. I think when I was younger I went for more extroverted characters, but I’m looking forward to exploring introverted ones as I feel they are easier to lend to Mysterious Backstories.
