@annabelle Yeah, you can talk about anything!
Wow, congratulations on your author spotlight! It looks quite interesting!
As someone who is also juggling several projects, I relate. Which one is your favorite story to work on right now?
Ah, I’ve always gotten emails from YWW, but never could bring myself to join. But I’m planning on taking some…[Read more]

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]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What come to you first? Plot or Characters? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 9 months ago
@kathleenramm I’d say both. Sometimes I have names and character ideas and I want to flesh out a plot around them; other times I have a plot idea and I make up quick characters to fill in the blanks. But if I had to choose one, it’s most likely characters first.

Ooh. . . interesting question. Honestly, it’s probably the plot – which I find a bit strange, since my writing is so character-driven.
I think that I usually start with just a whisper of a plot, but then the characters develop much quicker than the plot – like they need that tiny whisper to bring them to life before they can take the…[Read more]

Ooh, sounds exciting! Fairytale retellings are awesome. 😀
My current WIP is actually a fairytale retelling, so let me summarize that real quick as I’ll likely be drawing on that a lot in this answer. . .
It’s a novella that draws on the what-if of if the shared last name between Robin Hood and Little Red Riding Hood was no accident at…[Read more]

Karissa Chmil replied to the topic Developing A New Story Idea! (Help? XD) in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years, 9 months ago
Ooh. . . sounds interesting! A few questions after reading through your idea so far. . .
- What happened to their dad? Is he playing a part in the story? And if he never really makes it into the scene, do the siblings have any kind of mentor characters?
- What causes these abilities to show themselves right then? Is there…

I’ll be going with Scarlet for this one, I think.

Karissa Chmil replied to the topic Some questions about characters in the forum Characters 2 years, 9 months ago
Is there a character (from a WIP or a fandom) that you don’t like, but you don’t hate either?
Ohhhh, yes. Plenty. A few that come to mind are Lilah (Tuesdays at the Castle), Ron (Harry Potter), and Atretes (Mark of the Lion series).
Pick a character, from a WIP or a fandom, then say that character is hanging off the edge of a cliff, abo…

Hmmmmm. . . so many people. XD Community is such an important part of writing. . . let’s see if I can summarize it at all.
1. My mom – She’s always been so supportive of my writing, and she does as much as she can to get me connected with various resources/supporting the time I spend writing. . . she’s amazing.
2. My best friend – We’ve both…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Whoa, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 😀 It was enjoyable to read, and I LOVE the rhyme you had going on!!!!! FANTASTIC poem, girl!!!!!! 😀
My only suggestion is that it seemed like there needed to be a period between “dreams” and “Pitch” in this part –> “shattered dreams, Pitch black“.
