Madelyn replied to the topic Have you ever written a story that took place in your hometown? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years ago
Honestly, I’ve never even thought of it!! It’s such a neat idea, though! Maybe I’ll give it a try sometime 😉
What sort of twists did you add to your towns?

Faith Q. started the topic Y'all help me storm my brain!!!! in the forum Plotting 3 years, 1 month ago
Okay, y’all, I need a brainstorming partner… or two… or as many as I can find, haha…
It’ll actually be for two separate projects. One is a middle-grade contemporary novel, and the other is a YA fantasy. If you’re up for helping me brainstorm, either (or both!) need work, so anyone who can, pretty much? I’ll give the tags here, and then put…[Read more]

Madelyn replied to the topic Can't Reply in the forum Questions and Support 3 years, 1 month ago
That’s really weird!
The only time I’ve had that happen is when I leave the tab with my drafted response open too long. Could that be it? Probably not, though, if you’ve tried doing it all different ways
Lemme tag @kathleenramm, I think she’d be better at helping you out here 😉

@kathleenramm
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]

Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic Themes! and Messages! and Plots!? OH, MY!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 1 month ago
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]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Thinking alone vs talking with others. Which gives you more story ideas? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 1 month ago
@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.

Elfwing replied to the topic Has a song ever inspired a story, scene, or character? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 1 month ago
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]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Has a song ever inspired a story, scene, or character? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 1 month ago
@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.

Faith Q. started the topic Me idea in the forum Plotting 3 years, 1 month ago
Okay, so last night I got this amazing idea. At least I think it sounds amazing. But my problem is, it also sounds a bit cliche.
The problem is, I don’t get out much. Honestly, I’m pretty picky about what I read, so modern secular works are very rarely added to the list, and I am pretty clueless about what’s actually on the shelves. I know I…[Read more]

@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.
