@kathleenramm Plenty of places that I don’t even remember. Probably something similar to your waffle house experience. If I remember I’ll let you know.

Jenna Terese replied to the topic Planning out a trilogy! in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years ago
That’s so exciting! 😀 I’d definitely recommend figuring out how you want the whole series to end. Ask yourself, at the end of the last book, what do things look like? Where are the characters? What has been resolved? What hasn’t? In regards to plot and character arcs, think of the series as a whole one big character arc, or one big…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What's something you thought was necessary in writing, but actually wasn't? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years ago
@kathleenramm Oh, almost everything. That you had to follow prose conventions taught in school or plot outlines that followed a specific formula, that your character had to go through a very specific and obvious development, that you had to write something that followed all of these things with a reasonable and expected ending…
None of those…[Read more]

Oooooo what a fun idea!!!!!!! (Also, I just LOVE LOVE LOVE your quotes!!!!!!!!)
Alrighty, here’s mine. It’s for my character Keenum in my YA fantasy novel, Heir to His Crown.

I’d never ask for mercy fro…

Issabelle Perry replied to the topic Emotions in the forum Characters 3 years ago
Oooooo, I’m glad you asked!!! Honestly, the first thing I would do is give the character internal questions. Like, if the character is worried about something, show the reader he/she asking the question to him/herself. Like how @scoutfinch180 did in the first two examples Scoutillus gave. Inner monologue can really go a long…[Read more]

Hahaha, that’s funny you should mention that about the antagonist thing cuz my sister and I were just talking recently about how villains are actually not something you have to put in your writing and how even things like nature can be an “antagonist” in stories, like survival fiction!
Anyway, for me, it was long, thorough…[Read more]

Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin replied to the topic Characteristic Lines in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years ago
Here’s some epic quotes from Ryo from a story I wrote when I was 8.Â
Why the story I wrote when I was 8, and not a more recent story? Well, 8 years was when I peaked. Ever since then, both my writing and my cuteness declined. My face is kinda like cryptocurrency sometimes. Meaning, it goes up in value, down in value, and Elon Musk wants to send…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What's your biggest strength and weakness as a writer? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years ago
@kathleenramm I pretty much just practiced writing for a while, then I took a couple of courses on style and things, and then I just wrote a ton until sometime last year when I felt like my style is more like what it is now. And it’s still developing, though right now I’m finally finding it satisfactory.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What's your biggest strength and weakness as a writer? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years ago
@kathleenramm My biggest weakness is probably editing. Editing is the thing I’ve spent least time on. It always makes me feel like I’ve never edited enough lol.
Biggest strength? At this point, probably my prose. That’s the only thing I get consistently complimented on.
