@alia @jenwriter17 @valtmy @rochellaine @Kapeefers!

anyone around? I’m working on some editing for a KP article!

@kathleenramm

Oh, okay then 😀 That definitely makes me feel better. I used to think I was very obsessive but maybe I’m just normal 😛 😛

@kathleenramm

Definitely an outliner! Though I’m not quite as pedantic about it as others are and my outlines are usually only about 2,000 to 3,000 words long (uh…I think i just exposed myself as an outlining fanatic) and I do go off outline quite regularly. I find when I pants, as I’ve done occasionally, I lose motivation quickly and I don’t…[Read more]

@emberlynn Hello!

I’ve been playing piano maybe 11, 12 years? Most of my life haha

Ooh, I love those! My top favorites are Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle. I’ve watched almost all of theirs, I think, except for Grave of the Fireflies. I tried watching that twice but couldn’t get past 20 minutes.

@gracie-j The only one I can really think of right now is: What is good grammar? How do you use it?

So maybe compile a list of common grammar mistakes or something. Good grammar can really boost writing quality.

@libby

Hello, Libby! My interesting name is SeekJustice, but my actual name is Chelsea. I’m a KP intern and loving it so far.

It’s lovely that you can play the piano! I’ve attempted so many times to learn an instrument but I just can’t do it. I really enjoy listening to piano music though.

I also really love historical fiction! Do you have a…[Read more]

@emberlynn Hello! Nice to meet you!

I’m on SE as well, hehet.

Ooh, I like puzzles and piano and languages as well. And I also love Studio Ghibli! What are your favorite films of theirs?

@kathleenramm I guess planning out chapters gives me a to-do list and a word count goal. I find that it’s easier to do things with a checklist, and it makes me more motivated every time I finish a scene.

@kathleenramm I’ve got such a rigid writing schedule for myself that I don’t actually have the time or brain cells to sit down and map out every single specific thing. So I don’t really call myself a plotter.

I have a very specific ritual when starting a new work: I open the notebook, leave the first sheet blank, and then on the second page I…[Read more]

By the way, all my SFI fans, tomorrow is SFI’s third birthday and I’ve sort of made it a tradition to do an interesting post with some added trivia or something every year. Do you guys have any suggestions for something interesting to post?

@alia @jenwriter17 @rochellaine

@alia I’d heard of a Pride and Prejudice musical, but maybe not the same one, because this was an older one. Is it good though?

@jenwriter17 Oooh, that’s exciting news! Hope it goes well 🙂

I haven’t done much writing lately because I’ve been focusing on my KP articles. Hopefully I’ll have some time for it soon though.

@jenwriter17

Thank you 😀

Anyway, how have you been? What are you working on?

@jenwriter17

Just lots of really horrible stuff to my best friend in particular, which has really been weighing on me, plus just the general stress of Covid, it coming into summer here which has a lot of anxiety for me, and trying to find a job.

@kathleenramm I know, right? Big Hero 6 is one of my favorite movies.

And yeah, Mustang definitely should have given her all those flowers. XD I wonder what he did with them afterwards…?

@jenwriter17 I’ve definitely been better. So much has been happening and its just overwhelming. 🙁

@jenwriter17 Hey! I’m here 🙂

@kathleenramm Um. *instantly forgets every single book I’ve ever read about*. Sidekicks generally exist in adventure stories or superhero stories told from one person’s POV…or so I’ve noticed. As I don’t read those genres much…I suppose sidekick is also that third wheel character besides the MC and the girl.

But after Googling “sidekick” I…[Read more]
