Ereki.

It is time to begin anew.

The borders of our fair valley lay yet unmapped, our personal holdings are vague and undefined, and we – the people of Erekdale, are rather unknown, even to ourselves. So we must tread the farthest corners, build up home and hearth, and take a good look in the mirror.

What is Erekdale? And who are it’s…[Read more]

Dearest Ereki,

In order that the peace and tranquility which reigned nearly undisturbed under the leadership of Morrea Firebird may continue without change under my Guildmastering, our guild discussion of character development will continue in the same direction as we were traveling before.

And so, this week, we come to a lovely little…[Read more]

Ereki!

If it please your honors, announce your weekly writing/life/school goals herein! We’ll collectively give each other a little kick in the pants to keep ourselves going, eh? Anyone is free to check in on anyone and ask how their goals are coming along at any point (but please, no biting!). This is, after all, group accountability; you’re not…[Read more]

Hi guys!

Here’s the second part of my September critiquing piece: the first chapter of my current WIP!

What to critique for:

– Character Development: are my characters described enough? Can you get a good image of them in mind?

– Setting/Worldbuilding: How’s the setting? Even though this is early on in the WIP, can you get a fairly clear…[Read more]

Hello everyone!

I am here to present the first part of my September critiquing piece: the prologue of my current untitled WIP!

What to critique for:

– Is it intriguing? Since this is kind of the “hook” or “attention-getter” of my WIP, does it catch your attention and make you want to keep reading?

– Character: Yes, the characters are supposed…[Read more]

Hello fellow Ereki! Today I present to you my September piece for the critique challenge–the first half of chapter one from my WIP, Firemaster.  *confetti*

Now, as to what I’d like for critique, I’d like to focus on three main areas:

• Flow–how does the story flow? Is it easy to understand, or are there some confusing parts? How to the…

Well… they’re back. The guild wars have finally returned 😀

If this is your first war, here’s a rundown of the rules:

– This is a prompt war, which means we’ll be given a writing prompt and must write something based on that prompt (clean and under 2500 words).

– This is a team event, so as many people as possible should try to work toget…[Read more]

Good evening, Ereki!

Sorry this is a bit late, but here is our September accountability thread! Post your goals below and we’ll check in again on Thursday to see how they’re going 😉

Good morning, Ereki 😀

With only four months left in the year (sorry, I had to say it), I present to you today a challenge *unravels scroll* *clears throat* *uses epic voice*

THE END OF THE YEAR CRITIQUE CHALLENGE

The challenge is for each guild member to present a piece of writing for critique once a month, for three months (September,…[Read more]

Hey Ereki!

We’re moving along with our annual theme of conflict and will be focusing more on external conflict for a while now. If you’re new to Erekdale, you’re welcome to go back and read through all the previous topics on internal conflict. But now… onward to external conflict!

We often think of external conflict first when crafting a…[Read more]

Hello Ereki!

If you could PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO READ THIS, there’s some cool and important information here 😉

The other Guildmasters and I had a meeting a few evenings ago to go over the feedback from the survey you guys filled out, talk some things over, and brainstorm ideas for making the guilds even more awesome than they already are.…[Read more]

Welcome to the Introduction Thread 2.0! Here are five questions for you all to answer to us started. Feel free to comment on other peoples’ answers!

1. What’s the genre and a (brief) summary of your current WIP?

2. What’s one hobby you have other than writing?

3. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever done in the name of writing?

4. If you’ve…[Read more]

Hey Ereki!

We’ve been talking a lot about putting conflict into our stories and how to do it, but now I want to pose a question: at what moments in a story should internal conflict (temporarily) die down?

Like action sequences, internal conflict rises and falls throughout a story; if it were intense all the time, it would feel stagnant and…[Read more]
