Kathleen replied to the topic A Rather Belated Introduction in the forum Start HERE 3 years, 2 months ago
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]

Hey Bethany!!! (I’m on SE too, but KP is def more active.) Nice to meet you, I see you’re a lover of Latin! I’m taking Latin 4 this year which should be fun. A little about me: I write dystopian, spy, thriller/suspense books. I’m an ENFP and my favorite music is r&b and hip/hop.  I go to a classical Christian school, which s…[Read more]

@sparrowhawke Hello! My name is Jodi. I write fantasy, historical fiction, and the occasional dystopian piece. I also like ancient stuff–I minored in history (mostly medieval England, American history, and the entire history of Japan haha) when I was in college.
I like music too. I play piano, sing, and used to play electric bass! My favorite…[Read more]

Jodi Maile replied to the topic Tense Choices in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 2 months ago
@sparrowhawke Hellooo! So, I think you should choose your tense based on how close/far you want the reader to feel to the main character, the MC’s feelings, and how immediate you want the events of the story to feel.
First person present makes the reader feel like they are right there in the story, with things happening to them just the same way…[Read more]

I think Percy Jackson, as well as some modern setting/historical fiction books by James Scott Bell, really helped tip the scales for my appreciation of books set in those time periods. I also started taking history classes at my college, because I thought learning about history would give me more ideas for stories. Because of that…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What was it like writing your first novel? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 2 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?!?!?!

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]

You are a brilliant person, Lin XD (And OMAM is SOOOOO SAD)
Uummm, ya that makes sense. (Although they are historical and fiction but that’s besides the point, I know what you mean lol) Let’s see, yeah Chains is prolly my actual favorite, and the Girl in the Blue Coat is good too. Jennifer A. Nielsen’s his-fic books are good too.

I used to dislike reading anything set in the modern world and/or historical settings if it didn’t have some magical element in it (so, I totally understand the old not-liking-historical-fiction thing, @nova21!) Now, I love historical fictional as well as contemporary legal thrillers and a few other genres set in the real world 🙂
