Welcome to the most epic guild ever, guys! It’s a pleasure to have you. 😀

Everyone else: We’ve got some MORE guild members, but don’t worry, we’re not going to be bursting at the seams yet. There’s a couple other developments coming up once I get…[Read more]

I also see people around the place saying “Your chapters should be at least 5 thousand words long” or “don’t write short paragraphs.” Or sometimes people will go the other way and say…[Read more]

This topic is for that. If you’re writing, come here and say so! Maybe someone else will also be online and you can do some sprinting together. Or maybe just saying “I’m writing” will be a good bit of encouragement even if no one sees…[Read more]

The conversations that our characters have, are just as important as everything else. To use K.M. Weiland’s words, all…[Read more]

Instead of having a new activity, you can check out some of the previous ones that you might’ve missed!

Another fun thing to do—we could share some writing resources! When you have a question…[Read more]

Great story, everybody! Let`s keep going, if you want to. Jump in! 🙂 Past…[Read more]

The guildmasters have been considering the success of the guilds, so that we can try make these even better and more useful for you guys. So this is where you get to give your input!

Below is the link to a forum that you can fill out, with a couple of questions about the guilds, etc. It would be great if everyone…[Read more]

I think next year we’re going to have to take a slight break over the summer months because everyone’s really busy. (Thoughts on that, guys?)

This week, I’m going to take a look at what the small details and wording in our…[Read more]

@wordsmith It’s nice to meet you too, Wordsmith! Writing has been a fun journey for me as…[Read more]

Check out the announcement topic…[Read more]

Amazing job to the Avengers! *resounding applause* You did great. 😀

Description of settings is one of my weakest points in writing so we’re all in this boat together.

But here goes. I’m going to give it my best shot.

Description is something that some people love, and some people hate. I’m not sure that there’s any in between. xD The thing is that you have to find…[Read more]

Friendly reminder that the story is due in like, two days. So, if you…[Read more]

@evelyn
Oh, those poems are so well-written! I really like the playful tone Dickinson has in “I’m…[Read more]

I’m a mezzo-soprano, but I’ve been singing alto for the past four years (our choir needed more!). I only sang what I assume to be mezzo-soprano (we called it second soprano) for one year in middle school.

My favorite style to sing… Oh I don’t know! Our choir tried our hand at jazz this past year and it was super…[Read more]

It’s also incredibly confusing and hard to piece together what on earth that means. There’s a lot of courses and articles out there telling slightly different versions of what telling is and what showing is, and—let me tell…[Read more]

OR if you have a different idea and really really want to write it, go ahead and try your hand at a first…[Read more]

@mariposa Thank you! I don’t know people here well enough to know who to tag or not. 😃

@evelyn
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Shel Silverstein before (could you tell me a little more about this poet?), but I do know…[Read more]

Sure you can! You can all go ahead and start all the topics you want as long as they’re writing related and designed for encouragement and support of each other. 😀

I’ll go ahead and tag the rest of the guild members for you.…[Read more]

@e-b-raulands

Does anyone know of someone who can help me with my poetry problems?

Yes and yes. (Heh heh.) Pottermore, Percy Jackson, Wings of Fire, Eragon, not sure if Keeper of the Lost Cites is one or not, Left Behind (11 million copies sold in the entire series as far as I can tell), and probably anything else. I read a lot.

I figured people would be stumped by that, but I was dead…[Read more]

@inkling-for-christ

Thank y’all so much for your help!!

@a_small_mousepad I like Ubel! I also found another name that I find interesting that I may pair with it. ‘Gjest’. It is a Norwegian name that means ‘stranger, guest’. In the definition, it says that often the Nordic gods would use the n…[Read more]

Genre: Not fantasy this time, though, I really don’t care.

You could go with dropping in the colour with an action. Like in the “scratching his hand through his black hair” example. Something like “scratching his bronze/green/cherry-red hand through his hair” would be an effective way of doing that. Or if hair isn’t an option, you can have an action like…[Read more]

For those who haven’t been here for a guild war, here’s a little explanation: a guild war is where each of the guilds competes against the other guilds to try write the best scene/the most words/etc. This week it’s about writing the best scene.

The Challenge: write a scene from the point of vi…[Read more]

Okay 🙂 is there a problem with your character?

@caleb-e-king

How many chapters left? 🙂

@a_small_mousepad

Girl XD

One of the misdiagnoses described my younger self as “friendly and chatty” XD

It just means most aspies need to learn harder to understand (like body language and tone) and to be understood.

I understand I hope the…[Read more]

Thanks to @Faith-Blum ‘s suggestion, we’re going to be looking at description this week. Specifically how to describe a character’s physical appearance,…[Read more]

Yep, I’m a high functioning aspie 🙂

It’s very possible. Girls are apparently more social than boys so doctors miss it, that’s even how it went with me. I went through all the same therapy as you when I was younger back when they thought I had complications with my delivery. It wasn’t until I was ten that I got a diagnosis a…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 I haven’t written anything in a few weeks. Or read anything in the last several days. I have been a little busy, but mostly I seem to have lost motivation. :/ Not really sure what to write. But, I did have an…[Read more]

If you notice things that aren’t written well or that doesn’t make sense, just comment on it us…[Read more]

@parker *is showered in confetti* Love the spirit, but it always gets stuck in my… oh wait, I don’t have hair XD Thank you for your well-wishes. 🙂

@wordsmith That’s so awesome that you’ve begun to pick up writing in earnest over the past year and took the dive into having a blog as well! I had a blog for a few years during…[Read more]

@a_small_mousepad

You like acting?? That’s really cool! I like acting a bit too. 😉

And YIKES that’s a lot of unfinished stories, hahah! I hope you can fiiiinally get to finish a couple of them. 😛

@mairin-atha

Whoa Cambodia? That’s the coolest thing ever. You’re just…[Read more]

Ooh yep, thank you so much for sharing that! I’ll definitely do a week where we can work on things like that. 😀

Welcome to our WONDERFUL, pizza-loving guild! *showers confetti on both of you* We’re are overjoyed to have y’all here.

Heyy guys! You can check out this topic a bit for some explanations, and if you have any questions, just tag me and shoot away! 🙂
