@kathleenramm Good luck on your story! Yes, now I think I want to incorporate at least one delivery boy henchman into a future story. I love it when henchmen have distinct personalities and appearances. Makes the story much more fun.

@abigail-m Sorry this took so long. I’ll answer your questions now.
how likable are the characters?
Very likeable! I do like the three that you introduced here.
If you had to eliminate all but one character, what one would you keep and why?
I’d keep Anton because I’m a sucker for minor characters. But seriously, I wouldn’t eliminate any of…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Have you ever pantsed a novel? in the forum Plotting 3 years, 2 months ago
@kathleenramm I fully pantsed some works some months ago. It was terrifying. Like, usually I have no idea where things are going when I’m writing, but at least I have an outline as a roadmap. No, for this I had one sheet of paper covered with characters I wanted to be in it, and then another page for me to jot down ideas as I wrote.
And…[Read more]

@joy-caroline this is right up my alley, girl! I LOVE parallel characters with different arcs!!!!!!! ❤ Keziah sounds AH-MAZE-ING! I just *internally squeals* love her already.
Like @godlyfantasy12 said, I mentioned some things corresponding to this on her “Making my antagonist likeable/believable” topic. To echo that, I’ll just cut and pas…[Read more]

@joy-caroline As someone who generally likes antagonistic characters I like her a lot already! Kind of reminds me of Caleb Trask, one of my favorite characters in all of literature, who is supposed to symbolize Cain. I think as long as you portray all of your above ramble clearly, then you should have no problem getting your readers to like her!…[Read more]

@imwritehere1920 your website is adorable! SOOO cute! And of course, so is your bunny XD

Hi Ella! Thanks so much visiting! Glad you like it.
Aww, thanks! We have wild bunnies in our backyard and we feed them during the summer. Sometimes, if you hold really still, and squat down low, they’ll come close enough to take their picture! 🙂 Do you have any wildlife around your house?-
That’s awesome! I love trying to take pics of wildlife (but it can be pretty frustrating bc most animals don’t appreciate it 😉) I live in the south so we get a lot of reptilian things… XD Snakes, lizards, even scorpions! Not as cute as bunnies, but still pretty interesting. XD In the mornings on my way to school I often see deer too. And…[Read more]

Haha! My mom got a camera awhile back and has been trying to take pictures of our hummingbirds. Yeah, if only wildlife would cooperate!
We live out in the country, so we see snakes and lizards too. One four foot gopher snake just slithered by like nobody’s business, and weirdly, two quail were marching behind him …. why? Not sure 🤷…[Read more]

That’s so cool! That’s hilarious, quail marching behind him? LOL! I know, scorpions are just… freaky. I found a dead one in our pool and I didn’t go in for about a week! XD I don’t think I’ve been able to get a pic of deer bc it’s basically “ooo, look, a deer!” and everyone’s like “where?” then I’m like “nevermind, it’s gone.” XD I will…[Read more]

Yikes! I know, right? One time, I went to our bedroom closet, turned, and BOOM! One was sitting there on the wall! I heard a pastor refer to scorpions as sneaky. Yep. Definitely sneaky!
Haha! Yeah, it’s like that in our family. We’ll be driving along, someone sees a deer, and by then it’s gone. I hope you get that picture someday!
Cool!…[Read more]

Oh that’s terrifying! Thanks 😉
Awesome! My favorite subject last year was geometry and this year I’m really looking forward to biology. I didn’t have a great experience in my literature class but I think this year will be great.

@godlyfantasy12 I don’t really have much to say, but I have a couple of movies to suggest for @gracie-j .
1) Knives Out. It’s a murder mystery that came out recently, I’d give it a strong PG-13 for language and stuff, but I really enjoyed watching it.
2)Â Batman Begins. Mm yes this one doesn’t have that much of a transition but it’s pretty g…[Read more]
