Hey Guys!

First off, some announcements, sad and happy.

You may have noticed, that AshlyVye has disappeared.  Story Embers had a policy change on minimum forum age (for legal reasons), and she was a year shy.  I do hear, however, that her birthday isn’t too far around the corner and hopefully she will return to us soon.

Now, happy, we have y…[Read more]

Have you ever/ do you have a friend who has a friend who you happen to know, and you don’t find that out until you meet that friend at a party hosted by your other friend? Well, I did today and it made the world a lot smaller.

@Josiah, I was at the Barry’s house this afternoon, for John Barry’s graduation and was introduced to your dad! Being…[Read more]

Hey,

I’m back!

You guys had an eventful week while I was gone, let me go ahead and hit up some of the highlights.

First off, GUYS WE WON A GUILD WAR!!!  I saw the numbers.  It was not close.  You guys ROCKED it.  WAY TOO GO.  I wish I could come give you all high-fives or something bc wow I am proud.  Nice work.

Our (obvious) MVP was @Jane-Mare…[Read more]

Hey everybody!

Before I get to the activity, I have a few announcements:
1) My fam is on vacation this week so this is the last you’ll hear from me.  Lucky for ya’ll, the fabulous @Rolena-Hatfield had agreed to be acting guildmaster in my stead.  (So hey, I guess you’re going to be rolling with her own personal brand of tyranny this week.  I di…[Read more]

Hey,

So I was asked recently  “What genre do you write?” I said Dystopian. Later I realized that dystopian is a type not a genre. I’ve been dabbling and I know mystery and fantasy aren’t my gig, so how can I find what genre fits…[Read more]

Hey everybody!
Who plans on writing this week? (That should be all of you.) We’ve got a chance to snatch the guild war crown from Avensbeck. That’s right, another prompt. However this time around, instead of writing off a prompt, we’re going to all work on our on WIPs.
Ladies, gentlemen, members of Rillumen all, I welcome you to our first word…[Read more]

Hey Everybody, it’s another week!

However, since I posted last week’s topic really late (shame on me and my cow, I know), not all of you got to it.  And *spoileralert* our next week activity relies heavily on this week, SO

If you didn’t do last week’s activity, give it a shot this week.  If you did, do it again in the same room.  I want to pus…[Read more]

Hey Everybody,

Made it one week in before I fell behind.  Yay go me.  😛

Alright, anyway, this week’s challenge.

Writing description is a delicate balance of providing enough details to create a picture, while moving on to the actual story fast enough to keep from boring the reader.  One critically important method of doing this is finding si…[Read more]

Don’t let it be said that we were the aggressors here; Rillumen is the last guild to enter the conflict.  However, our honor must be upheld.  To war we go.

Yesterday, our rival guilds New Wessex and Avensbeck began a war which we must now join.  The first battle is to be fought this week, through long nights and crammed lunch breaks.  Want to hel…[Read more]

Hey everybody!
So, I think that this annual theme thing is going to be one of my favorite parts of the guilds.  I can’t wait to get started…

but then again, I DON’T HAVE TO!

The wait is over.

Our theme for 2018 is Description and Setting.  I’m kind of generally planning on starting with basic description techniques, moving into active de…[Read more]
