Kathleen replied to the topic Why do you write? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 7 months ago
It wasn’t too long at all! Your answers have made me see even more how wonderful writing can be. It’s pretty amazing all the things writing can do. I think writing stories is even more fun and healing than reading them.
It’s pretty dope right? Being to write all the stories that you wish existed. I mean it’s not easy and…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic Why do you write? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 7 months ago
Ooo, I really like that answer. Sometimes it can be really hard to communicate verbally. And when you do, you rarely get past the shallow stuff. But with writing, you can cut out all that nonsense and get straight to the point. I think writing, whether that be in stories, poetry, or song lyrics, is one of the best forms of…[Read more]

Katherine replied to the topic Why do you write? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 7 months ago
Why do I write? Easy answer, I enjoy it and don’t want a boring job. Therefore, I’m trying to make writing my career.
Okay, here’s a better answer: I constantly get stories ideas, and I don’t want them to just simply stay in my brain. Plus, I’m very creative and writing is a creative outlet.
I’m just still trying to figure out if I…[Read more] -
Elfwing replied to the topic character relationship, input please!! in the forum Characters 4 years, 7 months ago
@gracie-j @e-k-seaver thank you both for the input!
I have never done anything like publishing, and I didn’t know there was a stigma because I actually don’t know what indie publishing is lol
As far as the cover, @e-k-seaver, who/what would you suggest? I’ll have the money to do it, but I also don’t want to pay a ton of money if I don’t need…[Read more]

Elfwing replied to the topic character relationship, input please!! in the forum Characters 4 years, 7 months ago
@gracie-j ok cool! ummmm well, anything that comes to mind, tbh
But especially about audience, if that’s the right word; how many people would you recommend having an interest in the story before publishing it? I don’t wanna just put it on there and have nothing happen with it, that would totally suck XD I have about… 2o+ people that have told…[Read more]

I’m thinking of using Amazon… I am so new to anything like this, but I assume that’s self-publishing? XD

@gracie-j EEEEE YESSS
Sorry for the enthusiasm but you literally made my day! I’ve been wondering about this scene for a few weeks now but only just finished ‘perfecting’ it lol
And I am more interested in trying to publish in the near future! I just need to get done with the editing and revising if thats what it’s called lol
Any tips?

Daisy Torres replied to the topic Who has a published book out? in the forum Book Discussions 4 years, 7 months ago
@elfwing Hahaha! I loveee Celine Dion’s ‘My heart will go on’, so I’ll definitely give those a try!! Personally, I find it hard to write with actual songs. I focus easier with instrumental songs. That can vary quite a bit though XD I listen to lofi, classical, indie, gospel instrumentals, Chinese or Irish instrumental folk songs, movie…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I love your answer to the question! I have to say that I write for very much the same reasons haha. And no, your answer wasn’t too long at all!! It was beautiful!!
When I first started writing, it was for school, because I had to. I hated writing though. I used to think it was boring, but then I realised that all of the things I…[Read more]

Elfwing replied to the topic What's the harshest critique you've ever received about your writing? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years, 7 months ago
I get what you mean.
I will say that there is a balance that takes a while to get; it’s like talking about pretty much everything in life. If you talk about anything enough every person will want a break or not want to hear anymore.
It’s like me listening to people talking about trucks and cars; I don’t give a hoot how much horsepower…[Read more]

@kathleenramm I’d say that the song In The Unknown by Volunteers literally sums up why I write, and also me, in a way

@kathleenramm, I love your answer, and I don’t think it was too long. Creativity is a beautiful thing, isn’t it?
1: I write to escape. I’ve had a bit of a rough go with my health in the last few years, and so when something hard happens and I feel completely lost, I write to let out my emotions and sometimes anger, then I talk to God about what’s…[Read more]
