As the title says, better late than never but HELLO HELLO AUSTRALIAN HUMAN. *waves* I’m down in NSW–a couple of hours from Sydney. 😀

@ajaj2000 Definitely!

@caleb-e-king

*fangirls* I LOVED Do Hard Things!!! That is so cool! I had no idea he’d started a writing community and site.

Ough…how much is the monthly subscription?

That’s neat! I guess I didn’t realize it was so one-on-one. I’ll be that’s part of what makes it such an amazing community and place with obvious re…[Read more]

Time to set some new goals! I for one blew my goals for last week, except for the first one. Life’s been a bit pushy with my writing time lately 😛

My new goals are:

@ajaj2000, yes, my dog is a mixed breed.

I read books that aren’t thrillers all the time. I’ve actually only read two thrillers but they were great.

Cats are always cute.

@ajaj2000 Thanks! Your stories sound really cool, especially the one about the watch that changes time. I’d definitely read that if I found it in a bookstore. 😉

As for how I came up with mine… It’s complicated because so many things inspired different aspects of the story. My biggest inspiration is probably the legend of King Vortigern and…[Read more]

@evelyn

I’m doing Algebra 1 right now. It’s a little better…probably because it’s more like logic. 😉 I haven’t tried diagramming my own stories, but I’ve done other books several times.

Thanks @andrew! I also made a fruit that looks like a melon, but the inside is like cotton candy. They’re really hard to open, and the process requires a…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 No, not yet. I had some trouble getting signed up for the forums on time and so missed the guilds, but I have signed up for the next time they open. I’m super excited! I love the idea of having challenges and topics dedicated to growth in specific areas. And, the community sounds wonderful too, to have people to help and who can give you…[Read more]

@parker  @ajaj2000

You’re welcome!

Hi @ajaj2000! When Pen said “the pyramid” she was referring to Freytag’s Pyramid. (see this link for a diagram that explains each point, or this link for a simple, blank diagram.) Gustav Freytag (what a fun name to say!) was a German playwrite in the 1800s who created this pyramid on which almost every single story/play/and now movie, can be…[Read more]

Hello!

I don’t know what happened, but I wrote out a reply to you guys yesterday and it never showed up.

Grrrrrrr. I hereby solemnly promise to punish computers, in some way, shape or form, in my next book. Any suggestions?

Anyway…

@evelyn I haven’t done what you have pictured there yet, but it looks fun! I just learned about mood and…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 Nice to meet you, Aimie!

Yes, I have been working on a short story, more of an adventure series.

I also got a local illustrator to do the in-leaf drawings.

Just working on getting a publisher at the moment.

Hopefully can publish in the next year or so.

@ajaj2000, parker tagged you wrong above, so I thought I would tag you so you see.

@ajaj2000, ok good!

@ajaj2000 you’re welcome! I’m glad I could help 😀

Go ahead! Either Google docs or pasting them directly into the forum can work (depending on how long they are). I can’t wait to read them 🙂

Wow! @ajaj2000. Those sound really cool. If you do it right, you can have your readers feeling tense and stressed as the characters try to keep his parents from dying. I’d love to read those for sure.

@nuetrobolt, I’m currently writing five novels. (I know! It sounds crazy.) One, I’m editing, book two I’m writing the final draft, the third I’m…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 I see you are writing a book about time travel. time travel is cool, but it can be very confusing. A series I really like about time travel is the Outlaws of Time series by N.D. Wilson. It might be good to read a book that explores all the full complexities about time travel first, but maybe it wouldn’t be, because you would then feel…[Read more]

@ajaj2000

Self-worth sounds good too. Or it could be an aspect of identity, depending on the angle you want.

The theme could definitely be both of them! It would especially be strong if they were related, such as the effects time has on grief, or something like that. It could make a very strong, interesting theme.

Awesome! Just tag me whenever…[Read more]

@caleb-e-king You can do it! RAH RAH RAH! 😀

Hey, most of my stuff isn’t theme centered, and the works that are aren’t intentionally so. I never heard of theme-based writing til I came here. It’s a totally new concept to me! So, all that to say, you are not alone, my friend! What’s your story about??

@ajaj2000 Huh, I never really thought about…[Read more]

Attention, Ereki! The winner of the guild war has been announced. Unfortunately, we didn’t win — Rillumen took the trophy (not sure if we have an official one yet 😉 ). However, I’m really proud of all the work you’ve done writing and/or cheering each other on. We’ll get it next time! 🙂

Here’s the thread with the announcement:…[Read more]
