@avacoulter Nice, nice! I like watching where my characters take me (since I’m a pantser too) but I think I like writing the ending most. It’s very satisfying, and also kinda bittersweet.

@kathleenramm I wish I knew that typing was more efficient than handwriting.

Thanks to choices my 12 year old self made, I am still handwriting a certain story to this day.

@avacoulter

Ah, that’s really cute!

It’s really cool how your friend inspired you to start writing seriously, do they write as well? If so have you ever thought of writing a story together?

I started writing around seven or eight. Two of my older siblings wrote (and still write), which inspired me a lot. Plus, after multiple failed attempts at…[Read more]

@avacoulter It’s probably the farthest I’ve gotten in a novel, actually, heh. I’m looking forward to writing the ending.

What do you like most about the writing process?

@avacoulter Oo, interesting! Dystopian stories are always fun.

One of my current projects is about a guy named Joey who works at an antique store, time, wings, existence, and memory. It’s a weird kind of story so I feel like a premise wouldn’t encapsulate it enough. It’s basically inspired by things and people I saw throughout summer.

@avacoulter Nice! My favorite Avenger is definitely Iron Man, but I also love Spider-Man 🙂

@avacoulter Thank you!! It’s fun to write with her, we’ve been writing together for years but have never published anything together. Hopefully this project will be the one! That’s cool that you have so many siblings! I have three of them myself 🙂 If you ever need another beta reader, feel free to let me know! I’d be happy to help 😀

Yeah it’s…[Read more]

@avacoulter Hm, I’ve written so many, it’s hard to choose a favorite, haha. Do you have a premise for your current WIP?

@avacoulter I have one WIP I’m working on with my sister! It’s a fantasy/mystery that takes place in a medieval-style city. The story follows two women as they uncover things about the mystery individually until their storylines intersect and they join forces to stop a big political coup from happening. We were initially inspired by old buddy cop…[Read more]

@avacoulter Fair, fair, haha. Any favorite stories you’ve written so far?

@avacoulter Hoi, welcome! I’m Lin, always dabbling in a variety genres, like crime/fantasy and other things.

It’s been so long since I’ve commented on any of the intro threads, haha. Anything in particular you wish to share?

@avacoulter Ahh your WIP sounds so interesting! I like the Maze Runner too!! I’ve only read the first book but I’ve seen all the movies with my sister.

Yeah lyrics are pretty distracting, I can’t focus on writing at all with lyrics playing in the background XD

@e-k-seaver Ahh that’s one that’s on my to be read list XD I’m excited to get that one!!!

@elishavet-pidyon

Well, I only kind of read The Archer’s Cup… 😛 I started in the middle and skimmed through the rest. I thought it was good; not my favorite book in the series, but definitely better than some other books I’ve read. 😉

Oh, that is so cool! The GE actually series inspired me to start a fanfic, too! I haven’t worked on it in month…[Read more]

@power

Hhhmmm… Good question. I think my writing excels most when I’m working with my 3 siblings.

It kinda goes like someone has a spark of an idea, someone adds fuel to it, and then another waves the flame into a blaze.

Well, on good days that is. Most of the time we get side tracked and end up having an hour long conversation about how…[Read more]

@avacoulter

I’m about the same as you when it comes to Tolkien’s discography. Read the Hobbit, and the Silmarillion is on my to-read list. My brother highly recommends it, and I probably will soon once I actually read it, haha.

Thanks for the recs! I’ll definitely check them out.

How old were you when you started writing and what made you begin?

@power That makes a tad more sense… No need to rephrase it again, people reading this thread will understand.

I suppose I am best at writing emotional snippets, usually quite sad and dreamlike. Not sure, though. Not many people have read them.

@power Bold of you to assume that I can’t both be a writer and a brontosaurus.

As for what I excel at, I can’t exactly tell you. The way your question is phrased raises a lot of questions in me. Why, what kind of writing do you excel at?
