@kathleenramm I actually did write a story based on it 😀 a little bit loosely albeit, but here it is if you’d like to read it 😀 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oa-DrOTBmcNVHcn3DZbgjPmYM1qNDuKPzyE_u0AWeaA/edit?usp=sharing

@lewilliams hello there! I haven’t heard from you since the Intern days 🙂
*Rubs hands together* I’ve got plenty of recs for you.
First of all, I recommend a good reread. Whenever I get in a reading slump, I do a reread of some of my favourites. I just finished a Narnia reread and I’m currently doing a LOTR reread (in which I also hope to read…[Read more]

Jenna Terese replied to the topic Writing and Jobs in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 5 months ago
That’s a really good question… As much as I want to write full-time (which is pretty much what I do now), I think having other jobs is a good way to gain experience in different areas.

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic In Search of Book Recommendations in the forum Book Discussions 3 years, 5 months ago
@lewilliams Ah, yes, books. Also something I’ve been struggling with lately. But I’d be glad to give you some reccs of books that I love! Although, I have to warn you…lately I haven’t been able to stomach anything other than classic lit, so maybe a lot of these books will have the same flavor as the things that you read for your college…[Read more]

@relia Another job, because I feel like maybe, just maybe if I had to do writing as work then I might hate it.

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writing and Jobs in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 5 months ago
@relia I’d choose to have another job as well, either as a dog trainer or a speech pathologist. I love writing, but it could never be more of a side job for me. I’m a hands on person and I would need to be out in the world in order to actually write good things.

That is so incredibly cute! And I think we need a sequel to that short story about the janitor 😛
Occasionally little things I’ve experienced make it into stories of mine, but one thing that happened actually made it into the work I am possibly most proud of, a short story I wrote a few years back. Essentially, my family had lunch…[Read more]

@typewriter77 Hi Seth! Nice to meet you! I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin. I also write fantasy and contemporary, as well as crime and now occasionally some dystopian and maybe eastern fantasy. I haven’t met anyone who’s written Wuxia before! I do love reading some of them. Might I ask if you’re an anime fan? You seem like the type.
Do…[Read more]

@kathleenramm That’s such a fun story!
Other than people that would make good characters…
On the first day of one of my classes this year I was heading in doors to the place where we hold our co-op, and anyways, while I was still outside in the parking lot, this car just drove by in front of my, crunching this safety cone (which are…[Read more]

Thank you! Oh wow, a country song? I’m intrigued. 😀 That’s awesome that you’re getting back into writing again! Yup, I’m working on my sequel. I made some pretty good progress yesterday. 🙂 Abbie Emmons is hosting a virtual ‘writing retreat’ during June with writing livestreams every Wednesday, if you’re interested.

@relia I’m not British, so if there’s any Britishers on here, please feel free to tell me I’m an idiot.
Anyway, I’m Australian and we tend to swear a lot and very similarly to British people, for obvious reasons. “Bl**dy” (censoring because I don’t know everyone on here’s personal views on certain words), h**l and d*mn are all pretty “low level”…[Read more]

I hope you have better days soon. You’re in my prayers. Congratulations on the job offer! That’s wonderful! 😀 I keep feeling it’s kind of weird that we’re all grown up now… 😛 do you?
I’m doing great. Settling in well to married life. 🙂 It has been strange living so far away from my family now, but they visit pretty…[Read more]

Hey, @rochellaine ! Just wanted to make sure that you know that we’re doing a virtual KP girls meetup next week. June 11th at 7pm CT. I added you to our Google Hangouts group and posted the link to the Zoom meeting. Hope you can make it! 🙂

AHH WELCOME BACK @rochellaine!!!!! Seeing your post pop up in my emails made me smile! 😀 Thanks for the congratulations! It’s been a hectic journey but I’m so excited about the book. 🙂 But enough about me, I wanna hear how YOU have been lately. <3

SeekJustice replied to the topic Keep going or jump ahead? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 5 months ago
I usually force myself to keep going through the scene. Usually all it needs is a few hundred more words and then I’m writing freely again. Having said that, in one of my last WIPs I got really stuck at a large portion and completely skipped four or five chapters and just kept going. It depends on what works for you really.…[Read more]

Welcome back! I’ve not been very active here myself, but if you’re hanging around again, that’s more motivation for me too 😀
I’m drowning. It’s been more stressful lately since I’m being scheduled for a transfer (where to is not known yet). There’s no end to work, but hopefully things will look up after that.
I’m continuing to…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic Hi! in the forum Start HERE 3 years, 5 months ago
@sami-eastwood That synopsis sounds awesome! I would love to read a book about that!
Disaster movies are certainly unique. I don’t usually go to watch them but I have watched several. And those are an awesome choice of books!
Ah, I’ve heard of ranch dressing on pizza, though I have yet to try it! I will have to, though!

@nanisnook I usually end up procrastinating for a week and regretting it, but yeah I usually push on through instead of skipping around.

Thanks, Jenna! It sounds like so much fun, and I really wish I could join! Unfortunately, that’s the weekend my family’s going to be in town, and since they now live 17+ hours away, I want to spend all the time with them I can. I hope you all have loads of fun and laughs at the meeting! And hopefully if you have another in the future I can…[Read more]
@rochellaine I totally understand! There were more people not able to join, so we’ll definitely be doing it again. 😉
