@kathleenramm Hmm I’m not used to brainstorming with others but sometimes I’ll brainstorm if I’m really really stuck, usually I prefer to get ideas from everywhere around me and letting it simmer in my head into something coherent. Maybe because I’m not used to telling other people about my ideas XD And they’ll probably not understand the end vibe I want.

@denali-christianson Aw haha thanks! Yeah, I’ve been ghosting the KP forum a lot lately, idk why. Busy writing, I ‘spose.

Hmm, short stories and novels are probably my favorite, and if it’s a mix of fantasy and crime and time travel or something mind-bending it’s really fun, haha.

Oh, you know, I decided to follow in the sensible path of a…[Read more]

@unsung Heyy nice to meet you Elfwing’s friend! I’m Linyang, though you can call me Lin. Welcome to KP!

@denali-christianson Heyy! Been too long since I’ve welcomed somewhere on here, seems like I’ll have to remake up my typical welcomes.

*ahem*

Hey, I’m Linyang, though most here call me Lin, and I’m a writer of almost all genres and formats!

Bruh, I was tempted to become a movie director once. What kinds of films do you make?

Also, villains yes lez go

@godlyfantasy12

I’ve gone through this before too. It’s a hard decision. I did find this article, maybe it will help.

@kathleenramm

yeah most of my characters are at least somwhat based off music. I have adhd and anxiety and music help, but it also helps me write too. My playlist is all over the place lol so it works well for diversity XD

Hi @annabelle,

Thank you for your advice! That was very useful. So theme is more about asking a question that the reading will explore by reading the book, not stating a theme. I guess I could ask, “How do we find our place in society? Or, “Who will we let define us?”

I once read that your thematic question can slightly change through the book.…[Read more]

@abigail-m

I’ll be praying!

@madelyn

Ah, well, here’s the issue: I’m a plantser. I do a bit of planning and a LOT of pantsing. All I know when I start thinking up a WIP is the beginning, ending, or a climactic scene near the end. I rarely beginning working on the project right away, so it simmers away on a back burner while I focus on other things (like, geometry… *grim…[Read more]

@kathleenramm Yes, definitely! There’s too many to count, haha. But a couple I can remember:

• Bird Song by Florence and the Machine
• Gasoline by Brand New, covered by Falling Up
• Daylight by Northern Abbey

I’ve tried starting some based off of them, but usually I just write down the ideas and keep it for later. Too many ideas, too little time.

@madelyn

Ah yes, right on cue for me today, wanting to write a whole novel with nothing but an idea for the villain. I can feel the general vibe of the thing. I heard a song lyric today that I want to incorporate into the plot. I know nothing else.

I think generally I’ll feel for how long the work will be, like a short story, novella, or novel,…[Read more]
