@elishavet-pidyon

Thank you so much:)

@lydia-s

Thank you! 😀

@anatra23 Ay, for comedy/slice of life I recommend:

• Barakamon
• Yotsuba&!
• Way of the Househusband

And for fantasy/adventure:

• Fullmetal Alchemist (if you’re only going to watch the anime watch the Brotherhood version)
• The Devil is a Part-Timer!
• Bungou Stray Dogs

Me, looking over my lists: I could have sworn there was way more I need…[Read more]

Someone ask me something, anything. (About. Any WIP.)

@anatra23 Finally, my field of expertise.

I have heard of all of these! I’ve read several volumes of Horimiya and Your lie in April was my first anime. For a complete list of my read and watched anime, you may consult myanimelist here: https://myanimelist.net/profile/xiajiao

Well, lemme just open up my presentation that I bring with me whenever…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

thank you for the kind words, Kathleen!  John 14 is a wonderful idea.  it’s hard to always remember that God is there, but what you said is so true.  now that i think about it, songs are the main things that come on and remind me of the truth.  “water under the bridge” is what my mom likes to say, when life is hard sometimes.  thank…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Writing has allowed me to appreciate different forms of story more. While more things may seem mediocre now, I can also truly better appreciate the highest forms of literary art, such as classic lit, as well as extremely well done movies. Yes, being a writer ruins some things because now I can predict the plot. But when I can’t…[Read more]

@elanor

Yeah, I agree that a lot of portrayals of the Robin Hood justified stealing. However, now I’m really curious about the original story and if it actually does that. Did you read the original version? Because the theme of “is stealing ever justified” could be a really interesting topic to explore in a novel. As it could delve into both…[Read more]

@nova21

Life and school can be so overwhelming. Sometimes if feels like there’s an heavy weight on your shoulders at all times and you can never catch a breath. And no, your post didn’t come off as complaining at all! It just isn’t realistic to never talk about things that aren’t so positive. It’s good to talk about what you are struggling with.…[Read more]

@daisy-torres

Heyy, sorry it took me so long to respond XD

Oh yeahhh, I read your book and it was SO good!!!  Actually i remember it being one of my favorites that I’ve read on KP :))  best of luck!! <33

Mine’s a post-apocalyptic book about a girl with “amnesia”  (sort of?) who’s trying to survive while figuring out where she got there, be…[Read more]

@elfwing

Ah, yeah, learning more about mythology and history can really change your perspective on things.

And as much as I like Narnia, I always lean towards Tolkien as well. I love his worldbuilding and writing style, and yeah like you said his originality when it comes to both mythology and story. So many people have tried to replicate it,…[Read more]

@elfwing

That’s kinda funny, because that’s the same opinion Tolkien had on Lewis’s work! Tolkien also didn’t like The Chronicles of Narnia very much because the mythology didn’t make sense.

Although I love The Chronicles of Narnia, I get why it wouldn’t settle right for some people. It does do a lot of crazy things with mythology that might…[Read more]

@joy-caroline

Despite not having read  Ingleside (I have only read the first Anne of Green Gables book) I thoroughly related to your frustrations in your post.

One of my pet peeves in books are characters who makes dumb decisions simply for plot convenience. Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally fine with characters who make mistakes, but the…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Ever since I started writing I read much less, and I don’t reread books I read long ago anymore, plus I think we gave a lot of them away. On the rare occasion that I remembered I loved one book as a kid and I would reread it, I usually found it more hilarious than before.

There was one trilogy I really loved called School For Good…[Read more]

@elfwing

I’ve been enjoying everything I’ve read so far:) Like, I love in your second character article where you talk about temper and impatience, (it sparked up a new scene idea for my villain. Even though he is on the more nonchalant side of things, he still has anger blowups). And it was fun and relatable reading from your perspective on thi…[Read more]

@Jodi-maile

Thank you! It’s great to be back around on KP:)
You said all that beautifully and I’ll never be able to stress it enough on how much of a relatable struggle it is. But that’s right, you have to write the story that you would want to pluck off your shelf and read. Or else, what’s the point? If you don’t enjoy writing it, the reader wo…[Read more]

@Joy-caroline

I know that I’m going love TAS. I already do:) But it will be so amazing to be able to actually hold it, the pages solid paper, print in black ink and- I get pretty sentimental about that sort of stuff too XD 🙂 It’ll be awesome.

Thank you! It’s great to be back:)
