Daisy Torres replied to the topic Me idea in the forum Plotting 4 years, 5 months ago
@faith-q Girl of course!! And I totally feel you, my to-be-written list is also never-ending XD
It has the same kind of vibe to it, if that makes sense XD The ideas are totally different, but the whole “anointed one” aspect reminds me of it, although those words aren’t the ones used exactly XD You’d have to read it and ‘feel’ the world to see…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic Has a song ever inspired a story, scene, or character? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 5 months ago
@kathleenramm Yes, definitely! There’s too many to count, haha. But a couple I can remember:
- Bird Song by Florence and the Machine
- Gasoline by Brand New, covered by Falling Up
- Daylight by Northern Abbey
I’ve tried starting some based off of them, but usually I just write down the ideas and keep it for later. Too many ideas, too little time.

Jaybird replied to the topic The Hope That Remains Despite Illnesses in the forum Poetry Critiques 4 years, 5 months ago
Beautiful. It never ceases to amaze me how a simple choice of words and rhythm can convey such various feelings. Your choice seems to give a broken hearted yet flowing stream of thought.
I would consider smoothing the rhythms or word choice so that the sentences work together a little smoother, but it is lovely as it is. Well…[Read more]

Jaybird replied to the topic How Do You Turn a Spark Into a Blaze? in the forum Plotting 4 years, 5 months ago
Ooof, I have the same difficulty. Or rather, a very, very similar one. I have been working on two WIPs for almost a year. No, scratch that: it’s been over a year. Anyway, these two book ideas both started from ideas for characters, with vague impressions of their plots. Now after months of quiet world building, scene crafting, and…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic How Do You Turn a Spark Into a Blaze? in the forum Plotting 4 years, 5 months ago
Ah yes, right on cue for me today, wanting to write a whole novel with nothing but an idea for the villain. I can feel the general vibe of the thing. I heard a song lyric today that I want to incorporate into the plot. I know nothing else.
I think generally I’ll feel for how long the work will be, like a short story, novella, or novel,…[Read more]

Daisy Torres replied to the topic Me idea in the forum Plotting 4 years, 5 months ago
@faith-q Oh that sounds like such a cool idea!! I have read one book by Jennifer A. Nelson called “Mark of the Thief”. You might enjoy it, although there is some Egyptian mythology stuff in it. But it’s a good book and sounds kind of up the ally of your book idea! (Although not too similar, it just reminds me of it haha)
I really like that book…[Read more]

Has a song ever inspired a story, scene, or character?
This is something I’ve always wanted to do and also shocked that I haven’t done it yet as I pretty much listen to music 24/7.I think I have gotten quite a few ideas for characters, scenes, stories, and such from music, sometimes from the lyrics but often from the overall feeling the song g…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Scars, a poem in the forum Poetry 4 years, 5 months ago
A desk job has never seemed more enticing. I guess my dream of becoming a advertising street sign holder will have to die. Its a so sad, but I must do it for the arts…
But in any sense, thanks for the tips! I will definitely be using them.
As for your question about what rhymes with orange, it’s Sporange. An uncommon, but very real…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Hey in the forum Start HERE 4 years, 5 months ago
Welcome back! It’s awesome to have you back!
I don’t know about you, but there is always this fresh sense of excitement when I get back into writing after a break.
Is there anything in particular you are excited about with getting back into writing?

Yay!
Thanks. It’s good to be back. Although, I never exactly went away, just lurked in the shadows, but no one ever saw me eavesdropping. 😉

Ugh, hi!!! I have survived five nightmarish math problems and can finally respond!!(Is she excited? Feeling euphoric? Elated? Perhaps. They were hard!)
Anyway, as for my actual response, here goes.
A fanfiction on the Overseer could be spectacular. Not ridiculous at all!
You want questions/ideas? Well, the ones already asked are…[Read more]

Koshka replied to the topic Wingfeather Saga in the forum Book Discussions 4 years, 5 months ago
Sounds fun!
I don’t remember if his backstory was mentioned, but I think not. Hmm…it would be interesting. Here are a few random questions;
- Does he view ridge-runners in the same light as children?
- Has he ever been a Strander?
- Does he remember before Gnag?
- What is his motive/ does he believe what he is doing is wrong?

Jaybird replied to the topic Do your characters tend to be more extraverted or introverted? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 5 months ago
I honestly don’t exactly know, but I think they are usually like me on that respect: they are either a weak E or a weak I. In other words, a wee bit shy, but with a love for people.
Or perhaps they are in a strange position that forces them to pretend to be VERY extroverted, like walking up to a random stranger and commenting on…[Read more]

Hi there! Yeah, I haven’t been on here much recently either.
The question thingy is so neat! I think I have submitted a question (or two, or three. They were in a list.), but it may not have gone through. Anyway, thanks for invitation!
