Long ago, the world was split in half:Â one side was governed by industrialism, the other side governed by nature–and way between these two places was protected by the Guardian.

How has your writing process changed since you first started?
For me, it’s the way I approach telling a story. When I first started writing the main thing I would think about is the plot and what would be the most interesting events for the story. Now, what I think before I start writing a story is, “Why am I writing this?” and “Why does this…[Read more]

The notebook switch you do with your friend is really cool. I’ve never thought of doing that before but I really want to try that now.
I can definitely relate to wanting to try EVERYTHING out. It sometimes feels like I gain a new hobby every week. XD
Scenes and characters from stories are my favorite thing to draw as well! Art…[Read more]

I use good ol’ google docs. Because of the simplicity and I can easily share docs with my siblings. But I’ve heard a lot of good things about Scrivener and been wanting to try it out for a while.

Hi! And welcome to the forum! Here’s a virtual hot chocolate to warm your hands.
Did you say drawing, linguistics, bookbinding, and music? Those are some of my favorite things too! Along with writing of course. What languages do you know/ are learning?
It’s great that you get to write with your friend. I love to write with a few…[Read more]

@gracie-j @devastate-lasting @scoutfinch180 @seekjustice @godlyfantasy12
It’s really fun to see how each of us likes to describe our writing process. And although we each have our own unique spin on the three words, there’re also a lot of interesting similarities. As Gracie pointed out, we all tend to procrastinate, get distracted easily, be…[Read more]

Describe your writing process in 3 words. What are they and why?
Here is my writing process summed up in 3 words:1. Calculated

Kathleen replied to the topic How Do Y'all Feel About… in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 11 months ago
I find curse words, jarring, unnecessary, and just brings down the overall enjoyment of the book. Like @jenwriter17 mentioned, I totally don’t mind a book saying “he cursed” especially if that particular character is the kind of person to do so, but I instantly get put off if there’s actual curse words in it. I’m not sure why, but all I…[Read more]

I’ve been hearing so much about that series!
What about them inspired you? The characters, the world, the theme, etc. I love hearing peoples thoughts and feeling about books.
Do you like the originals or the re-writes better? I’ve been wanting to read them, but I’m not sure which version to start with.

I’m in the middle many different WIP, so my brains telling me, “focus on finishing what you’ve started Kat” but then my heart is like, “Ey, it’s ’bout time we set off on the roaring seas! Join hands with MGPN!”
Well, a Pirate novel may or may not have started simmering in the back. And you’re right it does look like jolly fun. XD Oh,…[Read more]

I always hear about people being inspired by C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, but rarely do I get to hear about books that have inspired them! I’m definitely going to have to check Phantastes out. I love books that execute symbolism well, and also the original books where the cliches of today came from.

Hello Hello! It’s awesome to have you on the forum. 😀
Wow. It’s really cool that you started writing at such a young age. I started around 6 or 7, but only in the past few years have been consistent.
Who are some of your favorite authors? And does your sister read any of your writing

Although I’ve not written about pirates, they do sound like fun people to write about. Kinda makes me want to try writing a swashbuckling pirate novel with sea monsters. XD The genre is surprisingly underutilized I feel like in the book world. Unless I’m just in the wrong libraries.

Your taste in fiction sounds a lot like mine. The Hunger Games trilogy and the two Percy Jackson series are some of my favorite series, along with All the Wrong Questions series. I’m a little…[Read more]

Which one of your characters would you most likely be friends with and why?
Okay, so I tried imagining myself with each of my characters, but none of them really work. XD They’re all a little crazy or they’re loners so… I’m not sure if I could be friends with any of them. I genuinely tried to think about it, but I really don’t think I would get…[Read more] -
