Does writing energize or exhaust you? Or both?
Well, for me, both. If ideas are flowing, plot lines connecting, and character’s developing, then I get really excited and end up unable to fall asleep until 2 a.m.However, if ideas are absent, plot lines clashing, and characters are not working, then I end up like a complete tired mess from…[Read more]

Woohoo, another member of the pineapple pizza club! *cheers* (Homemade pizza is the best, isn’t it?) Yes, I LOVE pineapple pizza. 🙂

These snippets describe the personality of one of my favorite characters pretty well, if I do say so myself. 😉
His hair was a disheveled mess, and it took only a glance to perceive that he was positively irate. “Duxus!” he snapped. “Do you realize what time it is?”
“Yes, sir, I do…”
“It’s moonhigh! Midnight!”
“I know that, sir…”
“And you…

Wow. I think you have made me one of Scarlet’s biggest fans… 😉
Somehow I feel like Jewel and I would agree on a lot of things… XD Love the lines!
Bahaha, I love the second character!😂 Great job on these…[Read more]

Gotcha. (Hope we didn’t spoil anything for you… *cringes*) He’s such an iconic character… What would the series be without him…
Last books are my favorites a lot of the time, too! 🙂

@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*

Lydia S. replied to the topic Some questions about characters in the forum Characters 2 years, 9 months ago
1. Definitely! I know for a certain book series, I feel that way about both the main characters. XD
2. For pretty much everyone (except maybe Sauron… Or the White Witch…), I’d say #1. (I’m a big believer in redemption arcs…😉)
3. The morally worst villain I’ve ever read about would maybe be Mordred from The Once and Future King or…[Read more]

@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]

Hello, one and all! For those of you who are newer, we used to have some topics called “Writer’s Corner” or something like that, but I’m far too lazy to search for the previous ones or consult how many of these we have been through, so we can just start a new one.
This thread is just a place for off-topic chats, where we can talk about our day or…[Read more]

Linyang Zhang replied to the topic What come to you first? Plot or Characters? in the forum Topic of the Week 2 years, 9 months ago
@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.

Oh, those are so good! What great characters.

What come to you first? Plot or Characters?
For me, honestly it’s both. Sometimes a cool character comes to me sometimes a cool plot.However, that’s a bit of a cop-out answer so I’ll say what most commonly comes to me. And that would be plot ideas. When fleshing out a story idea I always focus on characters, however, the basic premise of the…[Read more]

ty for the reminder!
Oh, I like these a lot. The personality really stands out.
These are quotes from a younger character of mine. But I wrote his character quite a while ago.
“Mr. Jeremy Sir, you must come with us.”
“Oh yea, the Ma’am said that unless you got back soon, the city would pare. Ooh, is that an owl? What’s his name?…
