No matter what you write about–a memory, a person, a fact–setting is always important. It defines the character, activates their emotions, and can be depicted in a way that enhances or detracts from the story. Setting has power, and someone who masterfully wields setting can make their story shine. I’ve always had a difficult time […]
So when it comes to writing, you’re either one of two things: a plotter or a pantser. And there are two types of stories: character-driven and plot-driven. The focus in this article is character-driven. I’m a pantser that’s slowly turning into a plotter. When I started writing Not That Bad, I had no idea what […]
When I started writing my novella three years ago (as of now it’s been one year since I completed it), I didn’t know what I was doing. I didn’t have a plot except for one thing: Kaya would fall in love in the story. When I finished writing, I looked over it because I wanted […]
Over a year ago I completed the first, full-length piece of work I’ve done in a long time. It took me two years to write, and it helped me grow. When I first wrote the novella, I was in a place of anger and depression, and when I finished I was was in a place […]
If you’ve been on the Internet in the last month, then you’ve seen the general, widespread excitement about Avatar: The Last Airbender (ATLA).

Hope you enjoy, and will see you soon! I love Wattpad. Do you know about Wattpad? It’s known for its fan-fiction, but there are tons […]
This prompt was done in part with a video on my YouTube channel. This is not the original draft; it has been added to. Prompt: “You got married to spite your parents?” “You got married to spite your parents?” Amari’s best friend Vivian just stared at her with an expression of disbelief. One eyebrow raised, […]
A while back, I made a post about my favorite books that I’ve read on Wattpad, an app where writers and readers alike could interact and create novels and series of their own. After a few years of reading on Wattpad, I had narrowed down my favorite novels on the site, hence the last post. […]
Hi, everyone! So, for the past few months, I’ve been wanting to make book blogging, my videos, and my writing part of a brand. After debating and talking to myself through video today, here it is! Kanna Ree will be the general brand name (and the name on my YouTube), but this blog will be […]
So, a few people know this, but a primary way of getting my reading fix happens through Wattpad, an app and website where you can read and/or write books for free. It’s a pretty large community and inundated with fan-fiction, bad boy stories, and other, popular things that are always being recommended, but there are […]
