Alien and Sojourner in a Foreign Land

@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]

@kathleenramm I’d say both. Sometimes I have names and character ideas and I want to flesh out a plot around them; other times I have a plot idea and I make up quick characters to fill in the blanks. But if I had to choose one, it’s most likely characters first.

@keilah-h

1. Plenty.

2. For any of them probably just number 4.

3. Worst, like, most evil or worst written? I feel like I’ve read/watched a lot of awful villains, but I can’t really think off the top of my head the most evil.

4. A lot, haha, but then I warp them enough that no one can recognise them.

@kathleenramm Hmm not really. He focused on other stuff haha.

@scoutfinch180 Interpolation is when your mind fills in the gaps, for example, you read a brief description of a character but a few pages later you already have their face in your mind. It’s pretty cool!

@kathleenramm Hmmm most recently probably comes from my English professor. Probably: “If there’s an upper word count limit then it means that this assignment can be done very well and with quality in this word count or under.” I guess overall, length isn’t everything.

Oh, and there was talk about interpolation and sensory description and…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I use a pen name, since I don’t really like other people knowing my real name, though for pieces I write in real life situations I use my real name. I think it’s cooler to have a name that I chose for myself, and it gives off the kind of vibe I want to give off.

@joy-caroline Currently can’t think of anything much, but I do have a short story idea that I’m expanding on, about a hitman hired to take out world leaders over enacting a law about teleportation.

@godlyfantasy12 One time I started a five book series that turned into thirty-six books and now is sitting at fifty-books and boy can I tell you I am sure glad I am out of ideas. Every day I lament over my former self’s cruelty towards me, but alas, I must finish this. Pros: I have greatly increased my writing speed. Cons: This is going to take a…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Far too lazy to come up with my own questions, have these instead.

101 Imaginative And Fun Author Interview Questions

@glorifychrist Yeah, I’m currently working on two long projects and a short story.

We have a lot of authors here who know about self publishing! You’ll probably meet them at some point, haha.

@glorifychrist That sounds great! I’d love to hear more about your work!

I write fiction, usually crime/slice-of-life/fantasy, and I’m always working on long projects and short projects.

What are you hoping to do with your projects once they’re finished?

@glorifychrist Welcome! What a coincidence, I just finished CWW as well! It’s great to have you here! I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin.

What kind of things do you like to write? Is there any particular project that you’re working on now?
