@kathleenramm Thanks! XD My series is currently divided into three parts: a historical trilogy (set hundreds of years before book one), a prequel duology (set only a few years before the events of book one), and the present-day trilogy, which I’m currently working my way through writing right now. I’m really hoping another prequel idea will strike…[Read more]

The premise is basically: Special boy and girl independently strike out from all they’ve ever known, and discover they’re needed to save what they previously left, and the future they were hoping for.(via defeating classic bad guy)
I promise, it’s not as corny as it seems in text, lol.
I haven’t really considered what made me…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Oh, probably the plot. The first plot was bad. Also different character arcs.

@kathleenramm The writing process for TAD was long. VERY long. I think I spent at least two solid years on it. XD
@anatra23 Correct me if I’m wrong, but… is your pfp an ATLA screencap?
A 25-step process of how to create a TAD, Grace K-M style:
1. Read the Lumberjanes books.
2. Play Legend of Zelda and write (terrible) fanfic about it.
3.…[Read more]

Natalie C. started the topic in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 10 months ago
So I recently had two or three ideas that really need to go in my WIP. The problem is that I’m already like a quarter into it. They’re pretty big parts of it (the main character’s father is dead, for example) so I’m trying to decide whether I should go back and add them in now, since they’ll affect the story later on in pretty big ways, or just w…[Read more]

I wish what you said abt your siblings and working together would apply to mine, lol. We sit down to get something done, ten minutes later, it’s a mashed potato war, and an arm wrestling match.
The feeling I felt most prominently in writing my first novel was exhaustion. I had been typing for most of the day, and around eight at…[Read more]

@kathleenramm It was fun. A learning experience. Terrible result, and I’m going to completely revamp it, but I’m glad I finished it, even if it took years. And after that, I could write more.

Thank you so much, I’ve worked hard on this.
I’ve been working on the series by myself for over four years now. I took a little break, and I’m taking it slowly, so I can put a lot of effort into them. They’re not too long, only abt 55k to 60k words so far. I love the way it’s going in growth. And am happy with how it’s turning out.…[Read more]

Alexa Autorski replied to the topic What's the most recent book you've finished? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 10 months ago
I know this is late *sheepish grin*, but the most recent book I finished was Rick Riordan’s The Sea of Monsters, the second book of the Percy Jackson series. And I have to say I’ve quickly fallen in love with the series and basically all it has to offer. The characters get more fleshed-out book-by-book and the aesthetic of it is…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I bought it at Barnes and Nobles, because my library didn’t have it, sadly. I think it was the first manga I actually bought. I’ve seen the live action too, but not the anime yet. What did you like about it?

calidris replied to the topic Hey guys! in the forum Start HERE 4 years, 10 months ago
@kathleenramm honestly, probably Misu. I don’t know if you saw my earlier post, but he’s basically a disguised angel whose been wandering the earth for the past two thousand years helping people in need (he’s very much based off of Gandalf in this aspect). For the majority of the Spire arc, the characters aren’t aware of this, which causes s…[Read more]

Good topic. I like yours. You have some good sounding tense stakes.
Stakes you say? So the current book I’m working on is bk three in a series.
Book one, my character’s decisions revolved around loosing friends and finding family, or fighting for friends and postponing the search for family. Pretty basic.
Book two, the mc’s…[Read more]
