I love revamping old stories. Because you already have the characters and the story, so you can just focus all your energy on shaping all the pieces into a really interesting story.

What are you most looking forward to redoing in that story?

@anatra23

Well, I mean we didn’t always get along haha. When we were younger there…[Read more]

@kathleenramm It was fun. A learning experience. Terrible result, and I’m going to completely revamp it, but I’m glad I finished it, even if it took years. And after that, I could write more.

@writerlexi1216

Percy Jackson was my childhood! I started reading the series when I was nine and they still have a special place in my heart today. The Lighting Thief was the first book that made me like reading!

Whose your favorite character?

And what thing about the books surprised you the most?

@nanisnook

Woah! I’m so glad you liked it!…[Read more]

@anatra23

I love how each book continues and develops the stakes. So they aren’t the same old stakes or total random new ones, but developed stakes form the previous books.

And I really love the theme of selfishness in the last book and how it ties in with the stakes. It makes the characters and the story so interesting.

How long have you been…[Read more]

@power

This was so fun to read! I laughed so many times. And I love how over the top the villain is haha.

What’s the premise of the novel?

@kathleenramm I bought it at Barnes and Nobles, because my library didn’t have it, sadly. I think it was the first manga I actually bought. I’ve seen the live action too, but not the anime yet. What did you like about it?

@calidris

Your friend has great taste. Erased was so good I watched it in two days.

Visuals in writing is so fun. It’s a challenge because you can only use words instead of actual imagery, but that somehow makes it all the better because you have to get creative with it.

My favorite part about writing is exploring different characters. Their…[Read more]

@calidris I have too many projects so I have all types, haha.

@calidris I love writing him with any of my other characters, because he just spices up the scene so much. Chaos ftw.

@calidris Can’t decide…too many… I like writing Akira a lot. A sarcastic, no-good barista. Rides a skateboard, chaotic neutral.

@calidris Yess it’s always like that for me even though I dictate the outline they still do their own thing in each scene. And at this point the depressing endings are plentiful.

Yep, my characters are all their own beings now. I rarely plot them beforehand, and sometimes I’m surprised by how different than I thought they would be.

@calidris Samee I feel your pain. Usually I just make it up as I go along and don’t plot anything. It’s a ride.

@calidris Oh wow! That is really creative! Is it possible to go through the Veil?

@calidris

I 100% mean what I said! Your art is amazing!

Yeah, I do art too! Last year I challenged myself to draw a sketch a day for a year, so my art improved a lot last year. However this year has been it bit harder to draw since I’m trying to get my drivers license, acting in plays, plus trying to improve my YouTubing skills, oh and of course…[Read more]

@calidris

My jaw literally dropped when the image loaded on my screen.

The character design is so unique and the colors and blending is gorgeous. Everything from the eyes hair and clothing is perfect.

Do you use colored pencils or pastels?

@kathleenramm YO ERASED I have all the manga it’s the first manga I bought it’s so good it just brings tears to my eyes—

@calidris Oo, a mining museum! That sounds pretty cool.

Hmm okay. Then I’ll give you a variety of genres. Your lie in April is a really beautiful anime about music. I really enjoyed A Silent Voice manga as well, and the a…[Read more]

@calidris

Hey! Welcome to the forum! It’s awesome to have you here.

I’m Kathleen, and I live most of my life in fictional worlds rather than in reality. May not be the best decision, but at least I can come up with a bunch of cool story ideas. XD

I’ve heard a lot of good things about Haikyu, but haven’t watched it. As of now, probably my…[Read more]

@calidris Give me some genres you like, and I’ll recc you some anime, heh. There’s a lot of different stuff out there.

Yee, I have a ton of current projects. Yesterday I just started a short story about alter egos and reality. And, yeah, I totally get having everything in your head. I used to be like that too.

I love Interstellar as well! And I…[Read more]

@calidris Oh my word someone else who watches anime! I haven’t watched Haikyu before but I know a lot of people like it.

Yo, your WIP sounds so cool! I love like modern fantasy type of things. It’s what I write too. I would love to hear more about Spire!

Anyways, I’m Linyang, a lot of people here call me Lin, I like writing fantasy, crime,…[Read more]
