Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What's the most recent piece of writing advice you’ve been given? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 3 months ago
@kathleenramm Hmmm most recently probably comes from my English professor. Probably: “If there’s an upper word count limit then it means that this assignment can be done very well and with quality in this word count or under.” I guess overall, length isn’t everything.
Oh, and there was talk about interpolation and sensory description and…[Read more]

What’s the most recent valuable piece of advice you’ve been given about writing?
Almost everything I learned about writing is from my older sister. She’s legit one of my favorite authors and that’s not because she’s my sister it’s because her writing is just that good.So, of course, I often ask her for advice. Recently I asked her if she had a t…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Have you ever considered writing under a pseudonym, and why or why not? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 3 months ago
Haha, yeah pseudonyms are a great chance to have the name you always wished was yours lol.
Also, I really like the meaning behind your name archer! It constantly gives you the reminder of what you are aiming towards. Plus, it sounds cool which is a bonus.
I 100% agree with you about it being so much easier being…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I use a pen name, since I don’t really like other people knowing my real name, though for pieces I write in real life situations I use my real name. I think it’s cooler to have a name that I chose for myself, and it gives off the kind of vibe I want to give off.

R.M. Archer replied to the topic Have you ever considered writing under a pseudonym, and why or why not? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 3 months ago
I write under a pseudonym. To begin with it was just because I thought it sounded cooler and more fantastical than my real name, lol. And initials are pretty popular among speculative fiction authors (fantasy authors in particular). But as a woman it’s nice because I won’t have to worry about deciding whether or not to change the name I write by…[Read more]

Have you ever considered writing under a pseudonym, and why or why not?
I have considered it, and I have done it… multiple times. For novels I will probably always stick with my real name, however I pretty much always use pseudonyms for short story contests I participate in online. Mainly Reedsy’s short story contests as they have cool weekly…[Read more] -

@joy-caroline Currently can’t think of anything much, but I do have a short story idea that I’m expanding on, about a hitman hired to take out world leaders over enacting a law about teleportation.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic My Series Keeps Growing! in the forum Fantasy 3 years, 3 months ago
@godlyfantasy12 One time I started a five book series that turned into thirty-six books and now is sitting at fifty-books and boy can I tell you I am sure glad I am out of ideas. Every day I lament over my former self’s cruelty towards me, but alas, I must finish this. Pros: I have greatly increased my writing speed. Cons: This is going to take a…[Read more]

I’ll definitely be using both these as future Topics of the Week disocclusions! Thank you so much!
Also, it’s funny how you were just thinking about me asking you guys for ideas the same day I decided to write a post on it lol. Was it that obvious that I was running low on ideas?

So we’ve been doing Topics of the Weeks for a while, and strangely enough, I’ve never asked for input from you guys!
So I thought I thought that this week’s topic of the week would be, What discussion(s) do you want to be a future Topic of the Week?
What are some cool discussion prompts or questions that would spark an interesting convo?

@glorifychrist Yeah, I’m currently working on two long projects and a short story.
We have a lot of authors here who know about self publishing! You’ll probably meet them at some point, haha.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Introduction in the forum Start HERE 3 years, 3 months ago
@glorifychrist That sounds great! I’d love to hear more about your work!
I write fiction, usually crime/slice-of-life/fantasy, and I’m always working on long projects and short projects.
What are you hoping to do with your projects once they’re finished?

@glorifychrist Welcome! What a coincidence, I just finished CWW as well! It’s great to have you here! I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin.
What kind of things do you like to write? Is there any particular project that you’re working on now?
