Hii, thank you for having me:)
Wow, I honestly admire anyone who can write dystopian and fantasy. It’s also good to stretch your writing skills, get out of your comfort zone a little bit. I’ll definitely be submitting some of my work soon, though I’ve never done anything like this before and it’s both exciting and nerve-wracking.
Glad to know we think alike, and sometimes I can get the tiniest bit of inspiration from every film that I watch, whether it’s the scenery or a character quirk, etc. I’ve been inspired by a film called “Amelie” recently. It’s just so charming, capturing the simplest aspect of life.
Hope to see you around also
hello:)!!
Oh man, I get you completely. I’ve spent so many years thinking about writing and not actually doing it. When inspiration hits me, it’s usually when I’m half asleep at 3 am, typing away in my notes app. Then I wake up the next day mortified. I’d love to read some of your stuff though, this is a supportive page after all.
*Drumroll*…I absolutely am a Tolkien fan. But when I was a kid, my older cousin used to scare me by telling me that Gollum was stalking me xD I’ve warmed up to the little guy by now. What are some of your favourites by Tolkien?
Hope to see you around here!
Hello!:) Honestly, this was God-send, I found the site randomly while looking for writing advice. All of you seem like great people, I’ve never felt so welcomed.
I’m from Poland originally, but I moved to the UK when I was just a toddler. I visit every summer though and have a huge family there. I’m glad you asked, I used to have cats, dogs, and a hamster but all of them have passed. Definitely getting pets again when I move out. What about you?
Hello, thanks for having me:)
I like to write rhymed poetry, usually about my experiences, thoughts, faith, whatever comes to mind. What’s your biggest source of inspiration? I’d love to read some of your poems one day.
Hope to see you around!
Heyy, it’s nice to meet you:)
Yess into the spider-verse is so visually stunning, I’d love to set a novel in a big city but I’ve never even been to the US ahaha. I love films or shows that are set in the past, like Forest Gump or Stranger things. I feel like it would be interesting to capture the feel of a certain decade and make the story come alive. Dystopian and action films have recently inspired me, though stuff like that is harder for me to write about. As for songs, Lana Del Rey’s entire discography is just so fitting for the scenes I make up in my mind. I think if I look at the writing process like a film script, I can focus more on the details. Idk.
Hmm when I’m not writing, I’m usually practicing guitar, making mood boards, watching shows, or cat videos. Just the simple things you know?
Oh, thank you:) I’m Polish, so people here get weirded out when they read my name. Loving the Perry the Platypus icon btw, if this summer isn’t like a Phinneas and Ferb episode I’m gonna be disappointed. Hope to see you around also.
Hii, I love your profile picture:) Looking forward to reading some of your work also.
Some of my favourite movies are The Lord of the rings, school of rock, The karate kid, 500 days of Summer, and almost famous. I honestly have too many though, but those are like my “comfort” movies I’ve seen too many times.
As for books, I love The Great Gatsby, The help, If I stay, The girl on the train, Daisy Jones and the six, the maze runner. I’m pretty versatile when it comes to genre, but a sucker for coming of age.
This is probably the toughest one to answer because I listen to music every second of the day. I’m going to have to go with literally any song by “The neighbourhood” –Â their stuff makes me feel nostalgic. My current favourite though, is “little wing” by Jimi Hendrix.
It’s so nice to meet you, I love your work:)
1) My favorite poet is probably Sylvia Plath or Lana Del Rey, their work just speaks to me I think. I Also love Wilfred Owen’s poetry, I studied him in school for a little bit.
2) Solid choice, Flanders fields is beautiful. I’d say mine is “The Destruction of Sennacherib” by Lord Byron.
3) Honestly I haven’t read enough of them to decide on a favourite, but I’m willing to go on a hunt for something good.
4) Ahh picking just one is always so hard, but I’d say “the help” by Katherine Stockett. It focuses on racial segregation in the ’60s, yet it’s heartwarming and funny. Definitely recommend that one, if you haven’t read it yet.
5) Historical and Biblical fiction sounds so interesting, I’d love to explore some of that. For me, I love reading fiction, dystopian, coming of age, and specifically books with a sense of nostalgia – anything to do with the 1970s – 1990s. As for writing, it’s mostly a range of poetry and coming of age, I like to write what I know if that makes sense.
6) I just ate a bowl of pineapple and currently craving pizza, so yes absolutely! The flavours just work well together and I have no idea why ahaha.
Thank you for being so welcoming, I’m glad I could join:)
