All I can say is…wow.

That is…quite a lot of words.

@kathleenramm

The quickest I ever wrote a full length novel was in Camp NaNoWriMo one year, 2018 i think, when I finished my 90k novel in three weeks. I have never done that again 😛 I think the longest I’ve been actively working on a project is about eighteen months,…[Read more]

I’m a huge rereader, so if there’s something I read in my youth and I can remember what it was called, I’ll probably reread it.

The ones that don’t stand up for me now are usually older books, like Pollyanna (while I like that Pollyanna is cheerful through a lot of bad things, personally I think she’s way too cheerful and the…[Read more]

Ooohh, Elsie Dinsmore…you’ve just brought up quite a lot of repressed memories. And you’re right, Elsie is the epitome of legalistic Christianity, and if that was an accurate representation of Christianity…well, I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with it.

But like you, it’s also one of the reasons I’m committed to writing…[Read more]

YES the Haikyuu writers made you care for every team! But Karasuno is my fave, and Hinata my favorite character (but Tanaka and Nishinoya are hilarious too) 🙂

ooh awesome an anime thread! 😀 My favorite anime are The Promised Neverland (always makes me cry) and Haikyuu (cinnamon roll characters <3)

@nova21

Girl, I really just want to wrap you up in a big hug. I have a pretty good understanding of how you feel and it absolutely sucks. I’m sorry you’re having to deal with it.

I also have chronic health issues, though not covid related, and with them comes a lot of chronic pain and chronic fatigue, so I get you there. It’s really hard trying…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

That’s so exciting! 😀 I’d definitely recommend figuring out how you want the whole series to end. Ask yourself, at the end of the last book, what do things look like? Where are the characters? What has been resolved? What hasn’t? In regards to plot and character arcs, think of the series as a whole one big character arc, or one big…[Read more]

@mkfairygirl
OH MY WORD THAT’S SO EXCITING! 😀 Congrats!

@keilah-h sorry for my late reply! Almost all of my fanfics were for the kids/YA series Warrior Cats!

That’s so cool, @elfwing! 😀 CONGRATS!

@keilah-h I’ve written a lot of fanfiction in my life, but I’ve only dabbled in crossover fics. I guess it was never really my thing in particular. However, a lot of original stories have started out as “what if I blended les Mis with star wars?” or something like that! What crossovers do you enjoy writing?

@godlyfantasy12

I can definitely understand your dilemma lol XD I personally don’t usually like books with that many POV’s (just because it can be hard to keep them all straight in my head), but that’s just me. I would say that you’re definitely doing something right if you’ve realized that each of your major side characters have protagonist…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I love this question!

This most difficult feedback I’ve ever received was on my little novel that I wrote when I was 17 and am still working on to this day. It was consistent feedback from the three people I’d picked to review the third draft and they all pretty much said the same thing, that I didn’t know my characters and that my…[Read more]

OH MY WORD THIS IS SO COOL 😱😍

@kathleenramm

Yep! I’m somewhere in between a plotter and pantser, I pantsed some novels and plotted others. At the moment I’m pantsing my way through a historical fantasy novel, and my last WIP was almost completely pantsed too. However, I do tend to plot my NaNoWriMo novels, because I don’t write pantsed novels fast at all (I’ve been working on…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Sounds good! I’m just working on my novel and studying. I have no idea if you’re still around currently, or what time it is in America rn…

@joy-caroline Hello! How are you doing? What are you working on?

Hello! Is anyone around? I’m currently studying, plus writing, plus reading over an old story so I can decide how to rewrite it. Anyone wish to join a lonely Australian?
