Awesome topic idea, btw!

@kathleenramm  @everyoneinthistopicthatimlatefor

Ah, yes, Sauron! And Professor Moriarty. And Chavelin from The Scarlet Pimpernel, if anyone’s seen or read that. (Absolutely amazing! XD)

@kathleenramm I know right lol, Oh you guys keep me from getting old lol

@kathleenramm

Oh, me too. A good theme makes the story, because a good theme is so deeply rooted in to the character’s arc that it almost ceases to become a theme and is just part of the character’s struggle. It adds such a depth, doesn’t it?! I love theme so much. Honestly, when I want to just throw up my hands and give up, the story themes is…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I really like villains in general, but they have to have some sort of element to them that I like. For example, I really disliked Count Olaf, but he was a really great villain.

So my saga has a wide cast of characters, all of whom appear in some way or another. A character may be a hero in one book but a villain in another,…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Oh yeah! They say one way to craft a really good villain is to take your main character but twist him wrong. Though, I must say, this wouldn’t work if you have multiple villains.

Personally when writing I like writing from my villain’s POV most. It makes him seem more human to me.

@kathleenramm I really love villains but as soon as you asked this question I forgot about all of them :P.

Though I guess generally I like secondary villains more…and since I haven’t really read/watched anything with villains in them I can’t really say…

But a lot of anime I like have very good villains! Like Lelouch from Code Geass, the…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Eeeeeek how did I just now see this?! Well I guess I have been kinda on a internet break for the past three days (my family does those every once in awhile.) I’ll send you something asap!! 😁

@gh24682468999 Thank you. 🙂

@seekjustice Some of my other hobbies are photography, knitting, dressing up (is that a hobby?) binge watching tv series and sleeping. (sleeping is def a favourite hobby lol)!

@leon-fleming Thank you. I hope so too.

@kathleenramm yes!!! Effie is a great character. 🙂 Who is your favourite character from the…[Read more]

My novel is sci-fi, and yes! I am quite a Owl City fan. You?

@not-so-secret-assassin

I was thinking this one…

Btw, I love your name. 😜

@erinramm

My favorite author is Andrew Peterson, author of the marvelous Wingfeather Saga!

My main character’s first name is Erin. XD

Oh, and tea. I’m a Bri…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Thanks. I love to make chocolate coverd strawberries! Cookies with dark and White chocolate chips, I next want to make cookies with m&ms. Chocolate chip cookies are always the best!! You like baking too!!? I wish I could taste your cookies:) What do you like to write?(big topic switch lol)

@leon-fleming Hullo and thank you. Many years ago, there was a family issue and it took a long time for me to recover from it. In the process I had to grow up and shoulder adulthood responsibilities quickly and I lost the fun part in my stories. They became very dark and depressing, so I gave up writing. But I’ve always hoped that one day, I’d be…[Read more]

Thanks, @kathleenramm. 🙂

I have seen those movies, @leon-fleming, although I wasn’t thinking of them in particular when I referred to Moriarty. I was thinking of the books.

I saw the last two Disney Star Wars movies unfortunately. I skipped the most recent one. I’m not a Disney Star Wars fan. The writing is just terrible (and there’s no excuse…[Read more]

@kathleenramm That’s exactly what I LOVE in a writing pal/beta reader, lol. You wanna read a bit of my writing? I pass it out to writing friends so they can get a sense of what I write/how I write. I’d love all your thoughts and am perfectly open to critics 😀

(do you have an email I could share a google document with? Not sure how we normally do…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I like The Little Prince, My Sweet Orange Tree, East of Eden, and Fahrenheit 451.

Can you tell me a bit about your settings in your writing?

@kathleenramm

*downcast eyes* Oh, yes, I enjoyed it! Lol. Thx. 🙂

@lrc

Okay, that makes sense. I abbreviate when possible as well, like my current WIP Out of the Ashes– actually it was my sisters who first started calling it OOTA, and it stuck. XD!

@kathleenramm

I know, I’m crazy. 😀 But it looks so beautiful in my head…!

If I am able to scrape up all the time to write them, I will publish them, yes—gotta have some way to pay for my valuable time, lol. Probably self publish, but who knows.

I’ll keep you in mind for beta reader and/or writer pal if you don’t mind then. 😀 I always need…[Read more]
