@kathleenramm Mm I think because when I was thinking up the project I was mainly focusing on the MC and his character arc, and decided only to make other characters that would be essential to the plot that the MC should meet. This way I don’t need to deal with extra underdeveloped characters that drag on to the plot and themes. Also the themes and…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 Heh thanks I’m really enjoying writing it.

Oo, nice! I’ve never completed a fanfic, let alone wrote one that long, lol.

@freedomwriter76 Haha, from the profile picture and the fanfiction, yes, I would say it is.

@freedomwriter76 *flashbacks to our numerous aesthetic/moodboard channels over the years*

Wow, yours all look really good! You must really like Marvel, eh?

@freedomwriter76 Oo noice. My current favorite WIP is a scifi retelling of Cain and Abel mixed with the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

Noice, 27k words is a lot! You got this, I believe in you!

@freedomwriter76 Wowow, that sounds awesome! What stage of writing it are you in?

*chuckles nervously* Which WIP?

@freedomwriter76 Sure sure, go for it! It’s been a while since anyone’s told me about their book XD

@wilder-w So exciting! Here are some of the most important things in my opinion for promoting your book: 1) a website, 2) a newsletter/email list, 3) social media.

Think of your website as your “home base.” This is where you want to direct more traffic to, because there people will learn more about your book/whatever you’re selling, how to buy it…[Read more]

@freedomwriter76 Wow, lots of Christian music. You can also make playlists on Youtube if you have that.

Great selection! Makes me want to hear more about your WIP.

@freedomwriter76 I like them enough, don’t actively follow them but they have some songs I really like, haha. They’re pretty catchy.

Do you have any playlists you’d like to share?

@freedomwriter76 I write them when I have time and inspo, heh.

Here’s one for like the last novel I was working on last year:

@freedomwriter76 I make playlists occasionally for short stories if I’m feeling bored, or just add songs I think fit with a novel to a playlist to eventually sort out, heh. I think they’re somewhere on Spotify? I’d share if anyone wants t see em.

@samuel-p-robbins I was so confused seeing my message on here lol.

@kathleenramm Honestly I really like how well everything’s tying together for it (plot, themes, character, worldbuilding, backstory, etc etc). Probably my most structured novel yet? I’m enjoying the single POV and small cast of characters, a nice change of pace from my usual big casts, as well as structuring internal and external conflict to all…[Read more]

@joy-caroline Something I try to remember when I’m working on side characters is that they are the main character of their own story. Even if they don’t have a POV in the story, they will have their own values, goals, motives, etc. in the story. I love working on their backstory, because it’s usually then that I discover their internal conflict…[Read more]

@jodi-maile I know I wrote an article about online publishing for @gracie-j sometime last year, hopefully you can find it here in the first issue: https://skysthelimitpress.wixsite.com/home/the-journal

@kathleenramm Complex. The more complex the possible. I don’t want to know what’s gonna happen. At least when reading.

Writing…hhh I want to get good at complex storylines.

@kathleenramm The 20th Century Boys manga series. I want to experience the suspense and emotions of the whole series, trying to find out who Friend is…

@valtmy Change all the races of my characters for the sake of diversity (though idk why they would my MC is Asian), adding a love triangle (or three), change the ending (by making it happy isntead of vague and tragic and open), and adding a lot more daddy issues than I originally intended there to be.

@kathleenramm A lot. Well, not sure. Most of my endings are bittersweet; in fact, I can’t think of a single fully happy ending. But there was one story (that I think you’ve read?) where every single character loses everything and there’s no way to recover that, and it was the result of all their own choices throughout the story.

Still one of my…[Read more]
