@kathleenramm I’ve got such a rigid writing schedule for myself that I don’t actually have the time or brain cells to sit down and map out every single specific thing. So I don’t really call myself a plotter.

I have a very specific ritual when starting a new work: I open the notebook, leave the first sheet blank, and then on the second page I…[Read more]

I’ll be around here on and off today…

@alia

I whole-heartedly agree. You know when an author is good when each of their characters have a voice of their own and don’t all feel like the same person. And yeah, research plays a big part in this. Fortunately for me, I really enjoy studying and researching people and their psychology. When I was seven, my sister and I would interview kids…[Read more]

@alia

Hmm, that’s really interesting, I hadn’t heard of that. Are you going to see it?

@seekjustice

AWW happy birthday to SFI! *hugs* Maybe you could try taking personality quizzes for your characters and post the results. I did that and it was super fun. 😀 And maybe you could write something about what each character means to you. 🙂 AHH this…[Read more]

I’m a bit late to this, but better late than never!

To me, interesting characters are characters that can not be accurately described in a single sentence. For instance a character who is NOT interesting could be easily described as, the funny guy, the serious general, the happy-go-lucky girl, the mean stepmother, etc.

A interesting character…[Read more]

Thanks for posting this! California definitely needs our prayers. Wild fires are relentless, and need as many prayers as possible. Hope everyone from California is staying safe!

Sadly, I have to leave now. 🙁 It was nice talking with you for a little bit. Hopefully I can be on here a little longer one of these days. Bye!

@seekjustice

I’ve been doing pretty well. This year has been crazy though with Covid and quarantine and all that. But I’ve seen God working through it so that’s awesome. 🙂 I sent my superhero manuscript to a professional editor (waiting to hear back from her), and in the mean time I’ve been having fun working on about three other writing…[Read more]

@seekjustice

Wow, that does sound like a lot. 🙁 I’ll be praying for you! <3

@kathleenramm I know, right? Big Hero 6 is one of my favorite movies.

And yeah, Mustang definitely should have given her all those flowers. XD I wonder what he did with them afterwards…?

@seekjustice

Aw, sorry to hear that. 🙁 What’s been happening? (you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to tho)

@seekjustice

Even though I don’t live in California, I really appreciate your prayers; I do know some people who live in CA. I can’t imagine being in this kind of situation; it looks so scary. Thanks for posting about this; great reminder for me to keep praying too.

@seekjustice

Hi! 😀 I haven’t chatted with you in a while; how have you been?

@alia @rochellaine @seekjustice @dekreel @valtmy

Anyone around?

@devastate-lasting

Baymax! I’m so happy somebody had him as one of their answers. I’m not sure why so many people dislike Big Hero 6, but that movie has a special place in my heart. It cheers me up every time I watch it.

Oh,  and Hawkeye is another good answer. I really wished she was in the show more. And Mustang really should have given…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Um. *instantly forgets every single book I’ve ever read about*. Sidekicks generally exist in adventure stories or superhero stories told from one person’s POV…or so I’ve noticed. As I don’t read those genres much…I suppose sidekick is also that third wheel character besides the MC and the girl.

But after Googling “sidekick” I…[Read more]

@leon-fleming Please define diverse and interesting.
