Jodi Maile replied to the topic What's a tip or tactic that has helped you recently with writing? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 5 months ago
@kathleenramm Oh that’s so cool! I’m doing short stories too! I just recently decided to do one short story a month, and I got my sister to join me as a sort of “one short story a month” challenge. We hold each other accountable by reading each other’s finished stories at the end of each month, too. The one short story a month thing has been super…[Read more]

What’s a tip or tactic (small or large) that has helped you recently with your writing?
For me it’s short stories,Recently I’ve been writing at least one short story a month, and it’s really help me with so many things in my writing.
It’s helped me think up creative story ideas more easily, because I have to think of new ones all the time to…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Hi! in the forum Start HERE 3 years, 5 months ago
It’s really cool how you world build! Unfortunately, it’s something I lack a lot when it comes to writing. I’m getting better at is as I go along, but I tend to just focus on everything about characters, metaphors, theme, and all the philosophical stuff of the story. XD Though I absolutely love stories with immersive and complex…[Read more]

Cool! I’ve heard a lot about For King and Country.
Very harsh indeed! But also so interesting. How to you go about writing a story? Like, how do you go from an idea to a finished novel? I’d love to hear you process.

Hi! It’s awesome to have you! I’m Kathleen, and I totally understand the struggle of getting the story in your head out some what readable on paper. XD But shifting my focus on the characters and writing the story from their eyes and mind always helps me a lot.
It’s so cool all the worldbuilding you did for your story. Does worldbuilding…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Need help in creating my Indian MC in the forum Characters 3 years, 6 months ago
All the same principles that make any character good applies to an Indian character. So I suggest doing a lot of research on what makes a character well-developed, complex, and what makes them feel real. There’s a lot of articles on KP about that.
And then I’d do a lot of research on what kind of Indian she is. Everything surrounding…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Is this a good title for my fantasy novel ? in the forum Fantasy 3 years, 6 months ago
What’s the premise of the story? I think if I knew a bit about what it’s about I could give you a better answer on if the title fits.
Also, congrats on finishing your novel! Is this the first book you’ve finished or have you completed others before?

Cool! Do you choose the word for the prompt yourself randomly, or do you find it somewhere or are inspired by something?

Kathleen replied to the topic Hello! in the forum Start HERE 3 years, 6 months ago
Hi! So nice to meet you! I’m Kathleen, I’m also homeschooled and I love writing in pretty much every genre, except for Romance. (It’s cool as a sub-plot, but main plot is not really my thing. XD)
Wolves and horses, are some of my favorite animals as well! Along with Whales, Dolphins, and Deer.
What kind of music do you like to listen…[Read more]

Hiya! Awesome to have you!
Did someone say Toothless? Man, I love that movie so much. XD
Ah, Tolkien. He’s one of my favorite authors as well. Which all of his books have you read? I’ve only read LoTR and The Hobbit, but I’ve been wanting to read the Silmarillion.

Also, what’s…[Read more]

An amazing story idea pops into your head: What do you do?
For me, if it’s an idea that would work for a short story, I try to write down the summary of the whole story from beginning to end because I find with short story ideas, I usually think of the ending pretty soon after I think of the beginning.I try to write it down as quickly as…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What is your favorite hero and villain rivalry? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 6 months ago
When reading or watching stories from countries that you don’t usually, it’s kinda fun to see what cliches are consistent globally and what new tropes they like to use often.
But I find there is almost always a different feeling to the stories. Like the author had a different mindset or approach to the story when he or she…[Read more]

Thanks for the recommendations! I love trying out different types of stories than I’m used to. You sometimes get tired of the same old stories you know?
Haha, I get it. Writing a full length novel is a slow, arduous (but fun) process. My siblings and I are still working on the first installment of our serial novel. :p

Since you haven’t watched Phineas and Ferb, I can testify that Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus is a fantastic choice.
And Batman and Joker… They diffidently deserve their place as one of the most iconic Villain Hero rivalries of all time. That’s quote you shared is amazing, man, hats off to however wrote…[Read more]
