@kathleenramm Likewise! Lately though it’s been my laptop that’s the biggest distraction. Which is a problem because my novel is on my laptop. *facepalm* Before, I could just turn my phone off and write on my laptop for hours but now I get so distracted. :/ I’m trying to work on that though.

@issawriter7 Ooh, nice! I’ve heard they’re really good from like… everyone XD I’ll definitely let you know how I like them!

@kathleenramm Hello!

Ooh, I have yet to read Mere Christianity. I can’t wait for that one. My favorite of his books thus far (besides Narnia of course) is probably The Great Divorce. I also really enjoyed Surprised By…[Read more]

I also use Scrivener, which I love!!  So helpful.  I’ll attach a screenshot below to show y’all how it works.

You have parts, chapters, and scenes (as @godlyfantasy12 mentioned) that you can create.  There are also character and setting sketches.  It’s basically to help keep you organized while you’re writing.  (You can also change the color sche…[Read more]

My biggest excuses are:

1# When I’m plagued by the infamous Writers Block and can’t think of anything for the life of me.

2# (I agree with Issabelle P.) When other things that are usually boring, start to become interesting.

@kathleenramm

My excuses are not very smart. It’s basically like ooooh, but this blog post, movie, book, etc., is just waaaaaaay more interesting!!! So, yeah, Is, if you don’t wanna do it there’s always tomorrow. (That was basically a snippet of my mind for ya. XD) For some strange reason my brain can’t come up with creative excuses. XD

@kathleenramm “I’m tired. I have homework. I’ll do it afterward. I’m not feeling it.”

Mainly those, honestly. But if I can force myself to start, I can force myself to finish.

@kathleenramm

I’ve read the first three books in the All the Wrong Questions series!!!!! *high-fives ya* It’s like one of my all-time favorite mysteries EVER!!!!!!! I agree that the interesting characters is really one of the best things about that book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@kathleenramm XD I was kind of overwhelmed at first too but after like two or three chapters that no longer became a problem. I should read some of her other stuff too…

@kathleenramm This is such a neat topic!!! I’ve loved looking through everyone’s posts and seeing what people are reading. Unfortunately, I don’t read a ton these days (I blame that #EnglishMajorLife), though I have started listening to audiobooks more these days. (Not having a dishwasher means that I have a lot of potential listening time to f…[Read more]

Well, I hate to say this but I honestly didn’t like Animal Farm that much.  The ending… :'( Excellently written, super relevant, some people would say brilliant, and I wouldn’t disagree with all that.  But I like books that have at least semi-satisfying endings, even if they’re sad.  Animal Farm was depressing and left me with this feeling of ju…[Read more]

@kathleenramm (Realistic!) Ooh, I read the first book of All the Wrong Questions a long time ago. Never got around to the others, though.

@lewilliams Professor Layton! Never played but I do know about him.

@abigail-m She’s my dad’s favorite English author! I highly recommend And Then There Were None!

@kathleenramm This is such an interesting topic! I’ve been wracking my brain for a good, concrete answer, but instead all I can come up with is this:

*vague gesture at most of the popular YA books I’ve read*

*vague gesture at almost every single book I’ve read in my English classes*

To elaborate on the second one, I especially disliked the…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Thank you!

I haven’t read all but I have read most of my books. Yes, 600 books is a lot. Especially when you are moving across the country,

Some of my all time favorite books include Count of Monte Cristo, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the Restoration series, and the Zion Covenant series.

@kathleenramm Nevertheless, it’s true.

@seekjustice Yeah! That’s what I’ve been thinking for a while. XD

@kathleenramm The Maze Runner series.

@kathleenramm

Thanks!

@joy-caroline

Thanks!

I could really use some help. As I mentioned, I’m doing a long “outline” of all of my scene ideas, but now I’m running low on steam lol. I’ve reached the part in the outline right before the Fun and Games begins (most of the middle).

First, I’m struggling with the…[Read more]

oh shoot, I hope they didn’t see that… lol😂
