Lin replied to the topic Add new ideas in now or later? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
1. To be honest whenever I come up with new ideas I just add them halfway through and then later go back and add them in the beginning. Saves a bit of time.
2. Totally! Usually my chapters are 6 and a half pages, sometimes they’re 13.

Hi! It’s awesome to have you here!
I love TOP as well! My favorite album from them would probably be Trench. Fun fact, my family used to live in Ohio and my sister went to school with Tyler and Joseph from TOP for a few years.
She remembers passing them in the hall but they were never friends. When I was little I remember her…[Read more]

Hi! It’s wonderful to meet you!
I have to agree with Lin on your question about what makes a good book. If the author doesn’t set up a world or characters or story that doesn’t make you feel anything meaningful, then I don’t really see the point.
As for passions for a full time career… Honestly I have no idea, haha. I’m just always…[Read more]

@sparrowhawke Yee a lot of classics use first person peripheral, actually! For another work I was debating between first and third and finally settled on first person peripheral. Pretty happy I did.

@sparrowhawke Greetings! I remember Blimey Cow vaguely from years past, but since a while ago I have not watched them. Twenty One Pilots I do love, as well as The Emporer’s New Groove.
Your name sounds familiar; are you on Story Embers as well?

Lin replied to the topic Tense Choices in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
@sparrowhawke I am a big believer and an astute follower of third person past. First person only occasionally, and always in past tense. Sometimes second. Been trying out peripheral first lately. But yeah, no, I don’t like first person present.

@madelyn Hey there! Nice to meet you!
I think a good book is something that makes me feel something (no, not cringe or anger or absolute regret or anything like that) but one that makes you think about it long after you close the pages.
Full-time career? Well, I’m currently studying computer science, so…

Doing class on Zoom means I am continually thinking up new aesthetics to do. I’m starting a new aesthetic set for some of my bounty hunters, here’s two to begin with:

@gracie-j THANK YOU I’m glad you like it! I was bored lol and I haven’t made one in a very long time.
@writerlexi1216 Thanks! It’s probably one of my favorite titles of my stories so far. And thanks! The palette I love a lot.

Lin replied to the topic What's a Genre or form of writing you used to dislike, but now enjoy? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 6 months ago
@kathleenramm Yes, tons! All my faves at this point are classics, haha. Probably East of Eden by Steinbeck and The Brothers Karamazov most though.

Kathleen replied to the topic What was it like writing your first novel? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 6 months ago
My favorite characters from ATLA would be Toph, Zuko, and Sokka.
Sokka is so much like one of my brothers it’s freaky. Even he agrees haha.
All those episodes are amazing! Every episode in Ba Sing Se is golden.
The movie is hilariously bad. Those earth benders had to do a full yoga routine to throw a pebble. XD

Ooo, you just remined me to read Of Mice and Men. I’ve heard lots of good things about it.
What’s your favorite thing about Of Mice and Men?
WHAT. The Grace Johnson at some point of her life did not like Historical Fiction?!?!?!
My whole life is a lie. *cries into handkerchief*
But seriously, what made you start liking…[Read more]

I was the exact same with classics. I used to think that the only reason why people liked them was because they were labeled “classic” so that somehow justified the dull writing.
But now, a lot of modern books that I’ve recently read felt so shallow, empty, and boring. And the classical books I used to roll my eyes out I now…[Read more]

@nova21 (The shock factor made me cry haha…though I would have to argue that GWTW is sadder, even though it’s a more gradual process. But I love Steinbeck. Want to read more of him.)
Oh, those titles sound interesting! Will have to check out…at some point…

Ha, nice quote! Didn’t think he said much of worth like that, but I guess he did!
Lolol it’s been a while since I read the books or watched the movies, but I’ve got great admiration for both Jango and Boba; they seem so cool haha
Yeah, they totally are.
I know this is an old topic, but believe it or not, Boba, Jango, and Din Djarin inspired my warrior people, the Realn. They are probably also the only reason I had any interest in Star Wars at all!
Wow this really was from 2 years ago 🙃 I feel old and lost
@rae The Mandalorians are so cool, aren’t they? I’m a bit partial to the clones, the way they were portrayed in the animated TV shows (Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch), but I can agree the Mandalorians are an awesome group, both in their show and all the others.
It’s also really cool that they inspired your own people group!
