Good poetry advice. That’s kind of what I’ve found free-writing or pantsing my book looks like.
Ikr? Wearing socks inside out is fine with me, but the holes–no matter how I try and patch them up–I can’t XD
You can tag the person you’re responding to if you want. It just notifies them (usually via email) that you’re addressing them.…[Read more]

Lydia S. started the topic Characteristic Lines in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 6 months ago
So, I thought it’d be fun to share three of a character’s lines (or however many characters you want to do) that are distinctive to their personalities and could, by themselves, be used to describe your character. Here’s mine:
Character: Catherine Miranda Davis

The moonlight shone in through the kitchen window, sending shadows skittering across the tile floor. I pushed up the tablecloth that was draped over my hideout – kitchen tables are very useful peices of furniture – and peeked into the dark recess of the pantry for the umpteenth time. The double-sided tape, chipotle pepper, mousetraps, and frying…

I’m doing good too. Been busy with writing and taking notes on singing lessons. How’s your writing? Working on anything lately?

Hullo and welcome!
Totally agree with you–rather fly. That is and interesting sounding WIP (both the Cinderella one and the fantasy novel)
What’s the name of your fantasy book? -
Anatra replied to the topic This is Koshka, and these are her books in the forum Start HERE 4 years, 6 months ago
Hullo! Nice to meet you.
Those sound like some pretty dramatic books 🙂
I am so bad at poetry XD I’ve tried, and I’ve failed. Knowing me I’ll prolly try again in the next year or so, learn nothing, and fail again lol.
Random question if you will, how do you feel about wearing socks inside out, with holes?

Hullo! Welcome!
I like that poetry concept! You came up with those characters?
You’re creating a biblical curriculum? That sounds so cool! Is it based off of anything specific?RIP the wallpaper. But *ah* the memories…

Story I’m particular proud of? My WIP for sure. Ig it’s cuz I’ve spent years hammering out fuzzy details, and mostly having fun with the plot.
This is the best form of outline XD I depend heavily on inconsistency. (in the best way)

@kathleenramm I pretty much just practiced writing for a while, then I took a couple of courses on style and things, and then I just wrote a ton until sometime last year when I felt like my style is more like what it is now. And it’s still developing, though right now I’m finally finding it satisfactory.

Ugh, I could go on forever with characters too, haha.
Out of all the character you’ve created, do you have one you know the best?
Yo, I’m not even surprised that people always compliment you on your pros. It’s one of a kind.
Was pros something that came naturally to you or did you have to work on…[Read more]

Hi! Welcome to the Kingdom of Pen! It’s awesome to have you here!
Just a few questions to get to know each other better:
1. What’s the premise of your fantasy novel?
2. When and why did you start writing?
3. Would you rather be able to breath underwater or fly?
Great to meet your acquaintance! Catch you…[Read more]

@kathleenramm
Who told you to guilt me on editing?
But fr, my biggest weakness is my tense. Constantly changing from ‘actively doing something’ to ‘did it in the past’. Ugh, it’s such a pain to edit. But I think I’m getting better.Strength would be creative ideas and plot, I think. That’s for sure the most fun for me too. Throwing together a…[Read more]

Just for a bit of clarification, are you asking how to write a character like this?
Whenever I come over a bump like this I try to put myself in this person’s situation(figuratively, of course). Jsyk, I’m not super familiar with this kind of issue, but I did have a character who was dealing with thoughts like this–self…[Read more]

@kathleenramm My biggest weakness is probably editing. Editing is the thing I’ve spent least time on. It always makes me feel like I’ve never edited enough lol.
Biggest strength? At this point, probably my prose. That’s the only thing I get consistently complimented on.
