@leon-fleming Gotcha. So, what area of ideas are you looking for? Plot? Character? Something else?

@leon-fleming I absolutely love time travel! There are so may different ways to incorporate it…

Before I can give any ideas, first I must ask: How does he time travel? By cherry soda bottle? By machine? Ability? Magic? Inexplicable events? How often can he time travel? Forward or back? Etc?

And if cherry soda bottles aren’t part of how he…[Read more]

@hannah-c I did it last year. Now whenever I read the manuscript I have no memory whatsoever of writing it. It’s pretty fun, but I’ve just developed a writing schedule for this year (1/3 months) so I think I’ll pass this year. Good luck if you do attempt it, though!

@leon-fleming Oh great answer!!!! I love old world military things

@kathleenramm Hi! I’m not sure if you guys are going to know this lol. I have read lots of books with realistic characters, but right now I am going to say Jack Torrance from The Shining!

@allisongrace Haha yeah I still get pulled in by the internet all the time XD

Oh, rest in peace, plants. Do you name plants after characters/people or do you look at one and think, “That one looks like an Ike”?

@kathleenramm I’m gonna have to say Cal Trask from East of Eden. He seemed very, very human to me. I think it was because he was foils with his brother, Aron, and since Aron was the perfect person that we all attain to be, Cal is our sinful self, who could never measure up to Aron.

@kathleenramm Haha now that you say it it does sound kinda sadistic…but I don’t do it often 😉

Yes, the high emotion really helps to develop characters and help spice up the story if it feels too flat!

@kathleenramm I don’t know about reading, but I love writing wounded people scenes. There’s blood everywhere, almost everyone’s panicking, and I get to display just how little I actually know about medical stuff.

@allisongrace Hello! You kind of look familiar, but I’m not sure.

Oh wow someone else who likes handwriting! I have drafted everything that I’ve written so far by hand. I think it’s way easier to have a visual goal in front of you as well as calculating word counts and managing goals. And also you don’t get distracted as easily.

Do you name your plants?

@leon-fleming Very true:) What are some of your favorite tropes too?

@kathleenramm Oh gosh lol I don’t know XD What are some of your favorite tropes?

@kathleenramm Not off the top of my head but I think there’s some Webtoons out there that I might’ve read sometime…I also like incorporating it into my own writing too XD

@kathleenramm There are so many!!! The rich guy and the poor girl getting together, that’s why I am not a fan of historical dramas lol

@kathleenramm Uh…I had to look up a list because I don’t remember anything that I actually like…but I do like the “grumpy one that has a soft spot for only that one other character” trope. I think it’s cute. And also it shows that people are complex and are more than just their demeanor.

@leon-fleming When did you become knight in shining…[Read more]

I’ll be in and out on here for a while…Anyone on right now?

@seekjustice @rochellaine @alia @valtmy @michelle @selah-chelah

@kathleenramm Haha! Yep, this is one fast rabbit to follow XD I just love it, I could go on all day. I heard a lot about The Hunger Games ( too much about Lord Of The Rings lol) what do you like best about Hunger Games?

I have to leave now. 🙁 …
