Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Do your characters tend to be more extraverted or introverted? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 7 months ago
@kathleenramm I feel like I usually plan for characters to be a little more reserved but they end up being more extraverted to keep the story moving along and the scene interesting, haha. I always need a bit more dialogue.

Abigail.M. replied to the topic Pitch Critique! in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 7 months ago
This sounds cool!
Okay so the three things I really liked about this are #1 the whole circus/murder mystery #2 the fact we’ll be getting into the past of a circus #3 they have high stakes at risk.
The three questions I have would be #1 why are Ara and November, in particular, being targeted #2 what are they doing in the circus…[Read more]

@not-so-secret-secret-assassain
1st of all, your Forum Topic Into was almost as fun to read as the chapters… I guess that explains why I haven’t heard from Shakespeare lately.
2nd of all.
I’m sorry.
Eh, not for the late replay as much as I am for not reading this sooner. Don’t get me wrong, as much as I’d love to bash a video game-themed…[Read more]

@lydia-s Nice, nice! I’m quite in love with Steinbeck and Dostoyvesky, throw in some Ray Bradbury and Dickens here and there, and there are so many more titles I’ve been meaning to read. Your literature program sounds fun! I’ve been meaning to take one at some point, haha.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic How do you draft/write the "first" document? in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 8 months ago
@godlyfantasy12 Usually I write a beginning, and then I start working on an outline/plot/characters, and usually after I have the outline for all the chapters done, or most of them, enough to keep me busy for a while, I just starting writing each chapter one by one.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Do you Prefer Classical or Modern Literature? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 8 months ago
@kathleenramm These days I can consume nothing but classic lit. I think when I was younger I found it boring but now I find modern lit lacking in depth and character and theme. Still, I prefer literature from the 1800’s and 1900’s, and maybe occasionally the 1700’s. Anything earlier I find, well, hard to read.

@lydia-s Any other books you’ve read lately? Or any other classic lit you enjoy?

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What's Your Favorite Relationship Type in Fiction? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 8 months ago
@kathleenramm I like master/servant relationships, maybe like young lady and her butler, or something similar. Or I like the idiotic duo who share one brain cell. That’s just really fun to see.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Does writing energize or exhaust you? Or both? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 8 months ago
@kathleenramm Hmm unless you count the time I couldn’t fall asleep from like midnight to two in the morning because I kept getting writing ideas to jot down haha. That was pretty energizing.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Does writing energize or exhaust you? Or both? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 9 months ago
@kathleenramm Boi, your profile picture sure looks familiar, although a tad bluer haha.
I think writing will always drain me. I don’t think I’ve ever walked away from writing without feeling a little more tired than before. Unless I’m in the middle of a load of homework and I needed to write a paragraph or something as a pick-me-up or a…[Read more]

@annabelle My current projects are all fantasy, haha, but I also dabble in slice of life, crime, among other genres. I want to give them all a try!
What about you?

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Writer's Corner #505 in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 9 months ago
@annabelle I’m working on two long series, one of which is for a contest, a dark fantasy standalone novel, and right now a short story for the KP forest contest haha. It’s a bit much.
@karissa-chmil Ey, that sounds great, Karissa! What’s your blog?

Hello, one and all! For those of you who are newer, we used to have some topics called “Writer’s Corner” or something like that, but I’m far too lazy to search for the previous ones or consult how many of these we have been through, so we can just start a new one.
This thread is just a place for off-topic chats, where we can talk about our day or…[Read more]
