Yeah, Classic lit. feels so much more grounded. It also feels a bit more comfy and homey to read. I do really like fast paced books, but slow paced books like classics are so relaxing.

Do you have any favorite classics?

I haven’t dared venture back before the 1600’s ever since I read a bunch a books around that…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 Usually I write a beginning, and then I start working on an outline/plot/characters, and usually after I have the outline for all the chapters done, or most of them, enough to keep me busy for a while, I just starting writing each chapter one by one.

@kathleenramm These days I can consume nothing but classic lit. I think when I was younger I found it boring but now I find modern lit lacking in depth and character and theme. Still, I prefer literature from the 1800’s and 1900’s, and maybe occasionally the 1700’s. Anything earlier I find, well, hard to read.

@kathleenramm

My answer is pretty much identical to yours! I used to largely dislike classics (or the idea of classics, anyway; I didn’t dislike as many of the classics that I read as I thought I did, lol), but in the past two or three years I’ve read more and more classics and they’ve definitely beat out modern fiction in my…[Read more]

@lydia-s Any other books you’ve read lately? Or any other classic lit you enjoy?

@trahia-the-minstrel

Yuh, sibling relationships ftw. When is a story not better with a sibling, or sibling-like relationship?

Since it’s your favorite, how many sibling duos have you written, and do you have a favorite one you’ve written?

@overcomer

Yeah, there definitely is something special with brother friendships.

Maybe because it’s rarer…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I like master/servant relationships, maybe like young lady and her butler, or something similar. Or I like the idiotic duo who share one brain cell. That’s just really fun to see.

@kathleenramm Hmm unless you count the time I couldn’t fall asleep from like midnight to two in the morning because I kept getting writing ideas to jot down haha. That was pretty energizing.

@devastate-lasting

You definitely did not see my profile picture on Pinterest, where I definitely did not get it from. My profile 110% very unique and original. 🙂

It seems like most people get drained from writing. Has there ever been an exception for you? Like a certain chapter that made you excited and energized at…[Read more]

@keilah-h Nice! How many fanfictions have you written?

@lydia-s Yess I read Jane Eyre back in high school and I really liked it! Jane is a big mood.

@kathleenramm Boi, your profile picture sure looks familiar, although a tad bluer haha.

I think writing will always drain me. I don’t think I’ve ever walked away from writing without feeling a little more tired than before. Unless I’m in the middle of a load of homework and I needed to write a paragraph or something as a pick-me-up or a…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel Nice snippet! Love the dialogue!

@annabelle Fantasy is a good genre! Hope you have fun with it!

@karissa-chmil Thank you! It looks so beautiful!

So, perfect timing, Nadine Brandes and Sara Ella happen to be focusing on retellings in their webinar next month! There’s a $10 registration fee, but Nadine and Sara are always super helpful, they answer so many questions… Honestly, it’s worth a lot more than $10, in most cases if not all cases. XD And Nadine has written a couple of historical…[Read more]

@annabelle My current projects are all fantasy, haha, but I also dabble in slice of life, crime, among other genres. I want to give them all a try!

What about you?

@annabelle I’m working on two long series, one of which is for a contest, a dark fantasy standalone novel, and right now a short story for the KP forest contest haha. It’s a bit much.

@karissa-chmil Ey, that sounds great, Karissa! What’s your blog?

@lavenderbookling Welcome, welcome. Sit down and have some tea? *offers cookies*
