@kathleenramm Good luck on your story! Yes, now I think I want to incorporate at least one delivery boy henchman into a future story. I love it when henchmen have distinct personalities and appearances. Makes the story much more fun.

@abigail-m Sorry this took so long. I’ll answer your questions now.
how likable are the characters?
Very likeable! I do like the three that you introduced here.
If you had to eliminate all but one character, what one would you keep and why?
I’d keep Anton because I’m a sucker for minor characters. But seriously, I wouldn’t eliminate any of…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Have you ever pantsed a novel? in the forum Plotting 3 years, 3 months ago
@kathleenramm I fully pantsed some works some months ago. It was terrifying. Like, usually I have no idea where things are going when I’m writing, but at least I have an outline as a roadmap. No, for this I had one sheet of paper covered with characters I wanted to be in it, and then another page for me to jot down ideas as I wrote.
And…[Read more]

@joy-caroline As someone who generally likes antagonistic characters I like her a lot already! Kind of reminds me of Caleb Trask, one of my favorite characters in all of literature, who is supposed to symbolize Cain. I think as long as you portray all of your above ramble clearly, then you should have no problem getting your readers to like her!…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 I don’t really have much to say, but I have a couple of movies to suggest for @gracie-j .
1) Knives Out. It’s a murder mystery that came out recently, I’d give it a strong PG-13 for language and stuff, but I really enjoyed watching it.
2)Â Batman Begins. Mm yes this one doesn’t have that much of a transition but it’s pretty g…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I’ve read other Star Wars books; mainly movie adaptions. There’s this one adaption of The Attack of the Clones that I really liked as a kid.

@kathleenramm I know you said most recent, but looking at my books, I’m going to go with the third most recent book I read, Lost Stars by Claudia Gray.
It’s a Star Wars book I bought ages ago but never got around to. Glad I finally did, though. I liked how it was slightly cleaner than most YA out there. I did not like how I failed to see that…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 *stretches* Hngh…right now I’m currently serialising one of my works (finally!) and now I’m working on the backlog for something else for Crazy Writing Week… Also working on a short story but at the same time I kind of want to write something else…I don’t know what though. Oh, and Thirteen Ways, of course. For once I’m on schedule.

@precious-y I would say my villain is a central character, though right now I have the POVs of the villain, the hero, and the villain’s friend. There’s a lot more characters than I anticipated, ha… Maybe this will be longer.
Hmm….villain character development… Kingdom Pen has a lot of great articles on them! Since your characters are…[Read more]

@zatara Oh, I like beginning and ending stories. When I start a story, I almost never know where it’s going to go, except with maybe a mental image of the end, and when I end it, it feels so bittersweet, like I’m saying goodbye to a friend.
