@kathleenramm That’s hard. I’ve barely read any classics besides Narnia (which I liked) and Lord of the Rings (which I enjoyed, but I’m not super crazy about it like some people). Apart from those, the oldest stuff I’ve read has been a dystopia or two, The Raven (as an audio) and Much Ado about Nothing, which so far has been hilarious. But at th…[Read more]

(LOL)

Especially when the reader doesn’t see it coming. Bwahaha!

Yeah, I wasn’t sure I liked it either untill I started researching some stuff, then it sort of exploded. XD For instance, one of my kingdoms uses a lunar calendar, but I when I started working it out I got carried away, so now there’s a separate calendar for each of…[Read more]

@koshka Cool!

Hi! I have randomly hopped on.

@joy-caroline

I’ll have to check that out. =)

@daisy-torres

(Wondering how in the world you’re going to wrap up SaM.)

Favorite tropes? I’m not sure yet. I love absolutely crushing my main carries deep into the ground (but not like most authors), then redeeming them/making something beautiful of their story. (Ok,…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yes, they’re wolves. It’s still in first draft form, but… I like it. =) Thanks!

@godlyfantasy12

I’m a pantser… I cannot plot a book. It just doesn’t work.

So when I begin, basically all I have is a basic idea of what I want to write about, and possibly a vague idea of how the story will end. Then I just write and see how it turns out! xD

I’m not very good at plotting, as you can see.

I think pantsing is totally fine,…[Read more]

@faith-q

Glad to help!

@joy-caroline

Thanks for telling me! Just filled out the form. 🙂

@koshka Wow! You said they were wolves, or wolf-people? That’s a cool scene!

I think it ate my thingy. Maybe I made it long. I shall try again.

Its a full scene, not a line, but anyway…

Flickers of light glinted back, caught on gossamers in the murky darkness. Holding the torch as high as the cavern roof allowed, Meyani crept down stairs, counting each crumbling step. Two-and-ten, three-and-ten, four-and-ten…

A heap o…[Read more]

Well, I have been working on this scene for some time now, mulling it over it in my mind, so I finally wrote it down, even though I haven’t gotten near this part of my book yet. Its not exactly a line- a whole scene to be exact. But anyway…

Flickers of light glinted back, caught on gossamers in the murky darkness. Holding the torch as high as…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

Classical. I grew up on it, so the older vocabularies don’t bother me. The depths in story, the mixture of poetry in prose, all the types and shadows… I feel more at home with classics than modern literature.

But I haven’t read much truly old stuff beyond Pilgrim’s Progress, some Shakespeare, and Canterbury Tales (which I do not…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon I know. Feather and Reed totally didn’t deserve what happened to them, but still….I mean, it was already written out for them because they were both from fanfics, and although they were both OCs they were closely linked to the original stories (they came from two separate ones).

@godlyfantasy12 Depends. Sometimes I have an idea of where it’s going to go, but sometimes I just have a scene that’s somewhere in the middle, or even the ending. Other times I have no clue what I’m doing and just tell the story. I also make up a ton of stuff with my brother, so he offers his input too.

@godlyfantasy12

Welp, I love revising. Writing itself is difficult and obnoxious.

Let me rephrase that; I enjoy writing, but I struggle turning off the strong-minded inner editor who then destroys all my work because it’s in first draft stage and therefore terrible. However, as rewriting is my favorite part of writing in general I usually don’t…[Read more]

@elishavet-pidyon @trahia-the-minstrel Ugh, yes, we can be so mean to our characters. Like, literally taking two of the character’s best friends from her in the course of two days, and then killing off another in a story that happens a few years later.

Or making a fanfiction character’s dad the main villain of the original story, and then making…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 I guess, I’ve only seen, like, one of those. But my male character is a good deal…tougher than that one was. He’s actually an established Star Wars character, and ex-Imperial, so….yeah, you get the picture.

For some reason, I pair off official fandom characters with OCs a lot.

@elishavet-pidyon Yeah, sometimes I have to get around that too…. But I make it work. Only a few characters have gotten that treatment, though.

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thank you!!!! They’re doing such an awesome job of it, I might actually try to watch some when it comes out!

And that probably sounded strange. Explanation; being someone blessed with an extremely vivid imagination I find myself disappointed by movie adaptations of books I perhaps only skim read.

But this looks good, so I…[Read more]

I like writing so many different tropes….

Found family is one of my big ones, especially the character who hasn’t seen his parents since he was young, and thinks they’re dead, and then finds out one or both of them is still alive and goes looking for them. That’s basically the whole premise of my current story…..

Sibling relationships are…[Read more]
