@godlyfantasy12 Great question!! Honestly I’m still figuring out new tricks myself, but I typically start with a Pinterest board and a music playlist. That gives me the aesthetic and character personalities. Then from there I do a bit of rough outlining and figure out the main story line, usually consisting of the beginning, middle, and end of…[Read more]

@lydia-s Nice, nice! I’m quite in love with Steinbeck and Dostoyvesky, throw in some Ray Bradbury and Dickens here and there, and there are so many more titles I’ve been meaning to read. Your literature program sounds fun! I’ve been meaning to take one at some point, haha.

Oh my goodness, YES!!!!! The way he twisted the Bible made me so mad… Like you said, I wanted to throttle him. *facepalm*
Those are all really good points! I agree that Rochester wasn’t ready for marriage until he’d changed (Side note: their reunion was incredibly sweet). St. John certainly contrasted him! Honestly, I reall…[Read more]

Yeah, I’m a big fan of the classics! I take a pretty intense literature program, so I get to read a lot of them. 🙂 Some of the ones we’ve read this year are Don Quixote, Paradise Lost, Frankenstein (that was quite the book), and Robinson Crusoe. Last year, we did Shakespeare (among other stuff, including The Once and Fut…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Do you Prefer Classical or Modern Literature? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 4 months ago
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?

The point of it is, you go back and edit the pitch a few…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon lol!! That is understandable!!! Drafting (writing in GENERAL) is ROUGH!!!
@devastate-lasting Oh nice!! I’ve tried doing the chapter outline thing for drafts and maybe once I get to later drafts it’ll work better for me 😂

Lin replied to the topic How do you draft/write the "first" document? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 4 months ago
@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.

Lin replied to the topic Do you Prefer Classical or Modern Literature? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 4 months ago
@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.

Do you Prefer Classical or Modern Literature?
Ask me this question a few years ago, I would have said modern literature without hesitation.However… recently I’ve been gravitating much more towards the classics.
I still think modern literature has some clear strengths over classical literature, like having fewer filler scenes and more creative…[Read more]
