So sorry to hear that! Praying!

@madelyn

Ah yes, right on cue for me today, wanting to write a whole novel with nothing but an idea for the villain. I can feel the general vibe of the thing. I heard a song lyric today that I want to incorporate into the plot. I know nothing else.

I think generally I’ll feel for how long the work will be, like a short story, novella, or novel,…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver Maybe the links the forum is finding sus? I’d try to post the links in a post below it.

@kathleenramm I feel like I usually plan for characters to be a little more reserved but they end up being more extraverted to keep the story moving along and the scene interesting, haha. I always need a bit more dialogue.

@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.

@godlyfantasy12

I used to totally pants my first drafts. Now I find it more helpful to make a plot outline and scene outlines before I get writing, but I still give myself the freedom to deviate from that outline if I feel like it. That’s just me though. 🙂

@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.

@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.

@lydia-s Any other books you’ve read lately? Or any other classic lit you enjoy?

@kathleenramm I like master/servant relationships, maybe like young lady and her butler, or something similar. Or I like the idiotic duo who share one brain cell. That’s just really fun to see.

@kathleenramm Hmm unless you count the time I couldn’t fall asleep from like midnight to two in the morning because I kept getting writing ideas to jot down haha. That was pretty energizing.

@keilah-h Nice! How many fanfictions have you written?

@lydia-s Yess I read Jane Eyre back in high school and I really liked it! Jane is a big mood.

@kathleenramm Boi, your profile picture sure looks familiar, although a tad bluer haha.

I think writing will always drain me. I don’t think I’ve ever walked away from writing without feeling a little more tired than before. Unless I’m in the middle of a load of homework and I needed to write a paragraph or something as a pick-me-up or a…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel Nice snippet! Love the dialogue!

@annabelle Fantasy is a good genre! Hope you have fun with it!

@karissa-chmil Thank you! It looks so beautiful!

@annabelle My current projects are all fantasy, haha, but I also dabble in slice of life, crime, among other genres. I want to give them all a try!

What about you?

@annabelle I’m working on two long series, one of which is for a contest, a dark fantasy standalone novel, and right now a short story for the KP forest contest haha. It’s a bit much.

@karissa-chmil Ey, that sounds great, Karissa! What’s your blog?

@lavenderbookling Welcome, welcome. Sit down and have some tea? *offers cookies*

@annabelle Yeah, you can talk about anything!

Wow, congratulations on your author spotlight! It looks quite interesting!

As someone who is also juggling several projects, I relate. Which one is your favorite story to work on right now?

Ah, I’ve always gotten emails from YWW, but never could bring myself to join. But I’m planning on taking some…[Read more]
