What’s the strangest book you’ve ever read? Did you like it? Why or why not?
Probably the strangest book I’ve ever read was a book I read awhile ago… Alice in Wonderland.Take everything about a normal book then make it the complete opposite. That’s Alice in Wonderland for you.
One of my favorite things about this book is it’s a metaphor for…[Read more]

Jodi Maile started the topic When you don't like the direction of your story… in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 1 month ago
Hello, everyone! I wanted to ask for some advice about a problem I have with a short story. Right now, I mostly do short stories, but this has been a big problem for me with novels as well.
So, here’s the problem: I’ll usually start a story with a clear idea of the direction it’s taking, the feeling I want the story to have. I’ll follow that…[Read more]

Jodi Maile replied to the topic Have you ever written a story with multiple POV? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 1 month ago
@kathleenramm I’m working on a short story by myself right now. I’m thinking it might just be one POV, but it might require me to write two. I’ve been practicing one POV for a while now so I hope I’ll be able to accomplish it effectively XD
@elfwing Oh cool! That’s so interesting that you do that too! It does work really well when you need…[Read more]

Mirabelle crossed her arms “Wait, let me get this straight; your double ganger was blackmailing you and you were appeasing him with Chipotle?”
Milo’s double ganger’s smile widened “Yo, your sister is smart lol.”
“She’s ten, of course she’s smart; have you never met a ten year old before?”

Yeah, I really like how adding multiple POV you can explore different avenues of the story while adding a new flavor to the narrative.
What the most POV you’ve ever had in one story?
It’s really cool how you split up POV with your sister like that! My siblings and I might do that in the future, but right now…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I have written stories with multiple POVs. When I write alone, I usually only have one or two. My first book
that will never be read by anyonehad two or three, and the books I wrote with my sister had up to five, I think. I read a lot of fantasy with lots of POV shifts back then, so I figured I needed more POVs. Truthfully, I…[Read more] -

Have you ever written a story with multiple POV?                                                       If so, how did it go? And if not, why?
I usually write in one POV, because I can really hone in and focus on that character and their thought process, voice, feelings, etc.
But there is o…[Read more]

Fear rippled through my body and I grabbed the closest thing in reach (which happened to be a mostly empty domino’s pizza box) and chucked it at the figure.
The pizza box bounced harmlessly off the figure’s back, and it spun around Poptart box still in hand.
My heart dropped to my feet; that figure… that person… that thing, was me.

Munch munch munch.
Mirabelle and I whirled towards the pantry in the corner of the kitchen.
Standing in the pantry was a figure feasting the last raspberry Poptart.

I’m super late, but I just wanted to say that I love your most recent character sketch!! You can really get an idea of what kind of character he is by looking at it.
How long have you been doing character illustrations? And did you learn from anyone?

Oof. I know what that’s like. It’s so rare for a series to be good the whole way through.
That sounds like a really interesting series! But yeah, I get what you mean by it getting tricky with Christian Theology and stuff. Like you don’t want people to have the wrong idea of the biblical characters in the story, but…[Read more]

How would you rewrite your least favorite novel?
One of the least favorite books I’ve ever read is Dreamlander by K.M. Weiland.So, if I was rewriting it, the first thing I would change is the world. It makes such little sense that it actually makes me kinda angry. Which I know, it’s sound weird, but it’s true.
The premise that there are two…[Read more]

Mirabelle stepped back and crossed her arms.
“Fine by me; you’d make a better first course for whatever is in there anyway.”
I grinned back at her and opened the kitchen door.

 The jenga tower collapsed and blocks tumbled across the coffee table and blasted me in the face (which had a very demoralized expression on it).
“What, I won? I WON!” My sister jumped up and pumped her fists in the air, acting like she wasn’t the one who had cheated.

So I thought it would be pretty fun to write and impromptu story together!
Basically how it’ll work is someone (in this case me) will write the first three sentence to a story and the person who replies back next will write the next three sentences to the story, and it’ll continue like that until we have a full blown story!
