Hey guys!

If you hadn’t noticed, we’re three weeks behind! *hides face in shame* However, I’m just going to catch it all up tonight so that we’re back on track!

This particular post was written by yours truly on why we should even write in the first place.

If you’re reading this, the chances are pretty high that you’re a writer. But how oft…[Read more]

Results are up! We didn’t do so well this time, but we did know that. 😉 A fair few people didn’t get their counts in on time, and those of us who did, didn’t write a ton. Myself well and truly included.

But guess what, guys? There’s a good chance that we’ll have a word war in July when we’re Camp NaNo-ing to absolutely thrash the other guilds!…[Read more]

I’m finally back to respond to your epic response! XD Ack, that was so fun to read. Question swapping is just fun in general! I can’t believe it, but I have never actually heard of over half of those music artists and songs, which is sad and totally confirms the fact that I need to broaden my musical taste. XD But thanks for…[Read more]

  Wait, oh dear, it’s been so long, we might have already discussed Kiel! O.O I can’t remember. XD Anyway, feel free to tell again!

  😀 I know! I love asking people questions! Yeah, you should totally check them out! IKR!?! I love that showwww!!!! Lol we probably did talk about Kiel before. I can’t remember who I talked about him to… So he’s basically a typical MC in a typical adventure novel. Does pretty typical stuff, etc. I really need to write up a synopsis to give people…[Read more]

    XD That is a-okay. I often have the same problem. It takes me several minutes to think of how to best sum up a story to someone. <:-P Well, that case, just lemme know when you have a synopsis up! 😉 I'm okay with typical stories so long as the characters are precious.

J.A.Penrose started the topic Camp NaNo Anyone? in the forum Announcements 7 years, 5 months ago

Hello all, and welcome to the month before July, or more specifically, the month before a lot of writers go completely mental and write a heap. 😉

If you are new to the vast quantity of writing forums out there, April and July are Camp NaNo seasons. Camp NaNo is an online writing “camp” where you and up to 19 fellow writers band together to try…[Read more]

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome! I’m so glad to be here! *throws sparkles and stardust*

@christlover (and anybody else who cares to know random things about me :P)

I don’t really listen to songs (being more of a classical music person) but my favorite classical piece is probably The Lark by Glinka/Balakirev. Look it up. It’s pure…[Read more]
Ariella Newheart replied to the topic You Have Arrived at Parimi Alca! in the forum Announcements 7 years, 5 months ago

@fallen-prince Ooh, halflings are cool. I may have one or two of those in my book. 😉 I definitely agree with @elisha-starquill about the names you chose; they’re fantastic.

@elisha-starquill I’ve only ever tried playing two instruments, flute and piano, but I sadly don’t have the aptitude for either. 🙁 My WIP is about a girl named Ariella (I…[Read more]

Parimis to attention! After just over a year of being a guild, we have two brand new guildlings!

Welcome Elisha and Simeon Shedd! (Also, if any of you know their tags, please tag them! I can’t find the tags.…[Read more]

Guys, guess what??

Parimi Alca is ONE YEAR OLD! *flails* It was announced to the world on May 28th, and Steward reminded me of this the other day. Unfortunately, I then totally ran out of time to actually say anything. 😛 But I just wanted you all to know this exciting fact, and get excited with me. 😀

So yay,…[Read more]
J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Guild War : You Know It in the forum Announcements 7 years, 5 months ago

Hello all! This has actually been around for a while, but I totally forgot to announce it. (story of my life right now, honestly. XD)

We didn’t win, sadly. </3 That title goes to our friends over in Meraki, so be sure to congratulate them!

Our main issue was (as we kinda knew) that it was a HUGE story trying to masquerade as a super-duper…[Read more]

Does Jess deserve an award for being super forgetful??? YEP. *nervous laughter* Thank you, Catherine, for reminding me of this. XD

We have a word war happening, people!

This one is going from Monday to Sunday. If you’ve already written words from Monday to today, count them as well. *facepalm* Still can’t believe I forgot this.

J.A.Penrose started the topic Writing Life : The Community in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 7 years, 6 months ago

As an introvert who lives in the middle of nowhere and is known for muttering, “humans” under her breath whenever she’s around other people, I have to say that I often find it hard to actually hang out with people…Even the writerly sort. I mean, what if they’re extroverts? What if there’s more than two of them?

Thankfully, Faith is here today…[Read more]
J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Guild War : You Know It in the forum Announcements 7 years, 6 months ago

On that note…

If we haven’t started on a draft in 24 hours, I’m probably just going to start writing. Just so that we definitely have something to hand in. *fingerguns* Ideally, I let you guys write the first draft so that you can practice and grow, but having something happening is the no. 1 priority.

Volunteers,…[Read more]
J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Guild War : You Know It in the forum Announcements 7 years, 6 months ago

As Christlover has said, guys, I reckon it’s time for us to get writing!

For all of you old-timers, (You’re over a year old, some of you. Yikes!) you should be pretty familiar with the routine, and it would be great if you keep things going smoothly through the rather chaotic drafting process that’s about to ensue.

The doc we’ll be writing in is…[Read more]

Hello Parimis!

While I’m here, I just wanted to thank you all for being so good with being active and commenting and helping each other out with things. I’m quite often not replying to things, and it’s just great to see you all doing it instead! <3

Moving on. Today’s lesson comes from my awesome cousin, Jane, who does a lot with editing,…[Read more]
J.A.Penrose started the topic Biomes in the forum Announcements 7 years, 6 months ago

Hello all!

If you haven’t seen our guild home page, you definitely should check it out. And I know that the running list of current members is completely wrong, but I plan to get Daeus onto that soon. (Or get his permission to let me fix it.)

However, what I want to draw your attention to, is that I’ve talked about ‘biomes.’ Back in our ‘[Read more]

At the request of @ariella-newheart, Parimi Alca now has a Writers’ Corner! *cheers*Basically, this is just where you say that you are writing, and others who are around can all write with you and hold you accountable on a smaller scale.

I mean, how often do we sit down to write and find ourselves scrolling through Pinterest boards of different…[Read more]

You have seen the notification that there is a guild war coming. Holding your breath between your teeth, you click on the notification.

“We’ll win the war this time.” The thought brushes, feather-light, against your mind. “Just what exactly is it?”

A war of You.

Well Parimis! After that fantastic smashing of a word war, I think it’s time…[Read more]
