A lot of those are on my tbr list. Now that I see you also recommend then I am even more looking forward to reading them!
That’s really interesting! I never thought there was a ‘first’ best selling book, but now thinking about it, of course there had to be one lol.
That’s really cool! Makes me even more interested in…[Read more]

@koshka (Pfft same XD I have a few plans, but we’ll see where that goes)
Ahhh yesss. Charry crushing is so much fun, isn’t it XD
Oh that’s cool!! I’m trying to get myself better at world building and cultures. It’s not my least favorite thing about writing, but it’s not entirely my favorite either XD

Daisy Torres replied to the topic How do you draft/write the "first" document? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 11 months ago
@godlyfantasy12 Great question!! Honestly I’m still figuring out new tricks myself, but I typically start with a Pinterest board and a music playlist. That gives me the aesthetic and character personalities. Then from there I do a bit of rough outlining and figure out the main story line, usually consisting of the beginning, middle, and end of…[Read more]

@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.

Kathleen replied to the topic Do you Prefer Classical or Modern Literature? in the forum Topic of the Week 3 years, 11 months ago
Yeah, Classic lit. feels so much more grounded. It also feels a bit more comfy and homey to read. I do really like fast paced books, but slow paced books like classics are so relaxing.
Do you have any favorite classics?
@devastate-lasting
I haven’t dared venture back before the 1600’s ever since I read a bunch a books around that…[Read more] -
Lin replied to the topic How do you draft/write the "first" document? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 12 months ago
@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.

Do you Prefer Classical or Modern Literature?
Ask me this question a few years ago, I would have said modern literature without hesitation.However… recently I’ve been gravitating much more towards the classics.
I still think modern literature has some clear strengths over classical literature, like having fewer filler scenes and more creative…[Read more]

Kathleen replied to the topic What's Your Favorite Relationship Type in Fiction? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years ago
Yuh, sibling relationships ftw. When is a story not better with a sibling, or sibling-like relationship?
Since it’s your favorite, how many sibling duos have you written, and do you have a favorite one you’ve written?
Yeah, there definitely is something special with brother friendships.
Maybe because it’s rarer…[Read more]

Lin replied to the topic What's Your Favorite Relationship Type in Fiction? in the forum Topic of the Week 4 years ago
@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.

What’s Your Favorite Relationship Type in Fiction?
For me it would be sibling relationships. Maybe it’s because I have a lot of siblings, but I feel like there’s this unique built-in connection between sibling relationships that other relationships don’t have.There can be a lot of diverse and interesting dynamics between siblings. They could be…[Read more]

@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.
