@ajaj2000 Awesome story ideas! Those sound like books I would want to read. 😀

@corkybookworm I just finished rereading Brisingr. I know what you mean! I have also gained a new appreciation for the story, especially since learning a lot about writing from Story Embers and Kingdom Pen.

I am…uh…a bit of an obsessive editor. I’ve been going…[Read more]

@ajaj2000

My books are about a normal family living in the small town, Mountain Heights, Tennessee.

In book one of the series, they go to a museum and are handed a golden chest with their last name carved on it. At the same time, there are some very dangerous antique thieves around.

In the second book, the Bryder family (Main characters) go…[Read more]

The Eclipse Trilogy:

First off, I LOVE this premise so much! It sounds like an amazing story idea 😀 As I was reading through the plot, I wrote down some words that came to mind. They are:

– purpose

– grief (such as moving on from grief)

– time (such as making the most of time or letting go of the past or realizing this moment is…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 Eh, it’s kind of strange, kind of refreshing, kind of exciting, and kind of challenging. XD I love the accountability. I’ve only got like 23 followers, (and I’m thankful for every one!) but I’ve got a set schedule for posting updates and that keeps me writing something every week. It’s refreshing to have that accountability and exciting…[Read more]

Time to set some more goals for the week! Mine are:

1. Start working on the outline of a short story

2. Write a theme chart for a random plot bunny that assaulted me the…[Read more]

@sarah-inkdragon @filewriter @bekks2017 @lydia-writes great work, Ereki! You got some awesome word counts this week 😀 Do you mind dropping them in this form? Then the guildmasters can add them up easier 🙂

Hi everyone! (and sorry for the late response)

@neutrobolt nice username! I’m probably going to start calling this place Emberia now 😀

@evelyn another crazy homeschooled logic lover??? *gasps* Have you studied both inductive and deductive? Which do you like better? I think I like deductive better, but it is really fun to find logical fallacies…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 Ooh, I like that saying a lot. I’ll remember that. That’s a good way to look at it!

The staff of this site seem to emphasize it a lot, and many theorize that showing is more professional or better-quality writing than telling. However, after my research, I personally am coming to the conclusion that telling is just as important as…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 Howdy! Well…for me personally, I’ve been pulling my hair out. I’m trying to work on my entry for the short story competition, but it isn’t going well. I’ve also been looking more into showing vs. telling because it’s an area I need to improve in, but practicing is very difficult, especially when I can’t really judge my own work XD How…[Read more]

@ajaj2000

I actually have a similar problem with one of my WIPs: I have so many ideas for the story, but I can’t nail down a theme. One thing that could help is to write an outline or a summary of the story to see if there are any reoccurring ideas (trust, love, family). And sometimes, it works to just decide on a theme and write the story around…[Read more]

@ajaj2000 a lot of people were saying green for creativity, so we’ll definitely go with that. Gold could be nobility or purity or something along those lines. Blue could be our third color, and peace might be a good meaning for it 🙂

@everyone-else Any more thoughts on the colors/their meanings? We could probably build the capital after we decide…[Read more]

@ajaj2000, and @allison-grace, Thanks guys!

Oh, and guys, I also vote for Gold and Green for Erekdale colors. They make a really good combination. 🙂

@ajaj2000 Thanks! If nothing else, I’m really having fun with it. 🙂

@ajaj2000 Wow, that sounds like a load of fun, and lots of hard work too. I spent a summer working as a children’s librarian assistant. It was a ton of fun, but exhausting too–in a good way. I studied to be a music teacher/band director, so I’ve dealt with VERY large groups of crazy, wired kids before. May your health improve!!

What do you all think of this emblem? @Filewriter designed it (if you scroll up a bit you can see it). Any suggestions?

I think our next steps are figuring out what the colors…[Read more]

@sarah-inkdragon – I can’t guess why xD  Gouache is a mix of watercolor and acrylic.  It’s still opaque however it isn’t as thin as watercolor.  Ooh!  That’s awesome!  🙂 I’m not really good at painting.  Yes!  I definitely agree Christian fantasy needs more twisty plot twists.   Same!  I love those things in books.

@ajaj2000 – thank you 🙂

@ajaj2000 Well, that is kind of you to say. Hah, well…it is a bit of a spoiler, but I suppose I could tell you who and not how or why (unless you really wanted to know) 🙂 So, SPOILER ALERT. XD There’s a siren behind the invasion.

@ajaj2000 Phhewww, what am I not working on?! XD Ha ha, no my primary focus at the moment in on a quest story. It’s about two mermaids who cross the ocean to find help and escape the invasion of their small village. Gosh, it sounds kinda plain when I type it out, especially aside some of the amazing plot summaries I’m reading on here! But the…[Read more]

@filewriter I think it’s done! Could you post a picture of it on this page again? Then I’ll tag the Ereki who haven’t seen it yet. 😀

@warrenluther04 nice intro! 😀 I have a feeling we’re going to end up with some very diverse creatures in Erekdale once all’s said and done 😉 I like the map, too. Though perhaps it will be a really big island, or…[Read more]
