@leon-fleming I’m… not sure whether to be flattered, amused, or just very confused at this title. XD

I really enjoyed The Hobbit the first time I read it. I was younger at the time. And I certainly don’t dislike it now, it’s just not tops on my list, lol. And I definitely agree that The Silmarillion is a legend, even if it can be difficult to…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Definitely! Maybe you could just be a student of the Inklings and learn from all of them. ;D

@kathleenramm I’ve been rereading The Lord of the Rings and I love it. I’m not so big a fan of The Hobbit or The Silmarillion (I found the former a little boring and the latter just complex and long, though I still appreciate them for their craftsmanship and stories), and I haven’t read much of his other work yet. But I love The Lord of the Rings. ^-^

@devastate-lasting Yes! Bradbury’s prose is amazing! I remember reading the first paragraph of Fahrenheit 451 and immediately pausing in awe because the fire motif was so strong already.

I’d choose Tolkien, though. His worldbuilding, his language-building, his characters and character relationships and focus on ordinary people… I would just…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Definitely, definitely Ray Bradbury. Ever since I read Fahrenheit 451 I have learned how to spell Fahrenheit and have fallen in love with his prose. Every time I write after I read his work I am just filled with something that possess my hand to write long descriptive sentences.

@merieshenanigans Ah thank you!

@merieshenanigans I use a platform called Webnovel XD Also known as QiDian International.

@kathleenramm Sure thing! Here’s the link!

@kathleenramm I published a short story a few months ago, and am currently working on a longer work.

@kathleenramm Truth be told, I am rather new to the business of writing webnovels. It’s very popular in Asia, an easy way for writers to get their writings online. From what I’ve seen webnovels are generally serialized daily by chapter, each usually a first draft, which usually makes them lower in quality than a traditional novel. Each chapter is…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Recently I’ve gotten into review swaps on one of those webnovel sites, and it’s been pretty good for my motivation. Now I really want to go work on my projects.

Essentially I am constantly working on three projects at a time: my main stuff, which is handwritten; a webnovel; and working on typing and redrafting what I have already…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I haven’t read a whole lot, but the short story Chronicles of Steele: Raven: Episode 1 by Pauline Creeden is good; I imagine the rest of the series is also. I also read Hoffmann’s Assistant by Renee Lauter (another short story), which wasn’t as deep or polished as it maybe could have been but was still enjoyable to read. I’ve also…[Read more]

The only one I’d like to try that I’ve never written before would be steampunk. Steampunk seems like it would be so much fun, and I love the style and tone! But I haven’t really had any steampunk-style ideas yet, so I haven’t tried it out.

There are other genres, though, that I’ve written in and just would like to do more and… don’t. Like…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Probably the former. I once had a short story idea for the Great Chicago Fire of 1873, but I managed to incorporate that into fantasy.

@kathleenramm I think it would be historical fiction.

There’s a lot of aesthetics/time periods that I really like, (1920’s, 1930’s, 1870’s) but I guess the reason why I haven’t is because there’s just too much research to do.

Maybe one day! Who knows!

@morwen Do you have any other hobbies?

@warrenluther04 Nice! A lot of people I know think that anime is ugly, but I think they’re looking in the wrong time period.

Do you have any other pets besides your dog?

@morwen Legolas is indeed cool. Since you know so much about LOTR, might I ask you, is Legolas’s hair brown or blonde?

Also, what other books do you like?

@morwen Hello and welcome!

I’m also homeschooled, and I’m an ISFJ! I have some friends who really love LOTR. Who is your favorite character and why?

@kathleenramm I remember quite vividly as a kid saying, “I don’t think I’d like to write stories. I think I’ll just read them.”

Welp, numerous years and ten manuscripts later, here I am.

I first started writing for school, I suppose. Around eight or nine I began creating a world in my head, and after I wrote that story for school, I was like,…[Read more]

I have a music Instagram account @singwhenwordsfail. There are only a handful of songs up (most of them under saved stories), but I’ve been meaning to start posting again.
