Gabrielle Pollack started the topic Backstory and Emotion in the forum 7 years, 11 months ago

How does his past affect his reaction? Does his reaction spring from a specific event in his past, or is it the outcome of a certain u…[Read more]

Hey friends!
Would anyone like to join an Avensbeck book club? I’m not sure what we’ll read (it depends on everyone’s suggestions) but if enough people are interested, I’ll hammer out the details. 🙂
Would you guys like that?

Here are a few rules and such:
-the competition starts today and ends Monday
-Only fiction and poetry counts
-Only new scenes count (editing and…[Read more]

Gabrielle Pollack started the topic Weekly Goals #2 in the forum 7 years, 11 months ago
Hey friends!
Last week we shared writing goals we wanted to reach before the week was out. I didn’t achieve mine, but I still felt like the practice was beneficial <span style=”background-color: #f6d5d9;”>and </span>motivational. 🙂
What are your writing goals for this week?
My goals are:
1. Edit 18 chapters of my WIP
2. Finish those…[Read more]

Guildmates! We’re so close to finishing up our entry! I think the only thing missing is an intriguing opening line. Does anyone have any ideas?

Unless I missed one, we have 3 entries to choose from. @aislinn-mollisong , @jenwriter17 , and @morreafirebird each contributed a draft/short piece describing a sunrise. Please read them, and everyone (except contributors) vote for the one you’d like us to work on as a guild! 🙂

K.M. Small replied to the topic Welcome to the Guild Wars! in the forum Announcements 7 years, 11 months ago
Well…here’s my piece. It’s more about the character than the sunrise, but I think that made the sunrise more important in the story. It’s a bit rough right now, but I can definitely edit it if we choose to use it 😀

To all the Marvel fans out there, if you’ve seen the latest Avengers, I thought it would be fun to analyze the story. There were definitely some strong points in there 😀
To anyone who hasn’t seen it… beware of spoilers in this thread 😛

Hello, Guildmates. 🙂
If we are going to write a story together, we’ll need a plan of sorts if we are going to make this project a success. After reading everyone’s ideas I’ve come up with method for how we could go about this process. Please read it everyone, and let me know if it works for you.

@Gabrielle It’s a pretty fantastic name if I do say so myself. 😉
Whoa, that’s weird! The story I’m working grew out of a dream as well. 🙂
@toklaham-veruzia Vampires, magic sand, and kidnaped daughters, oh my! 😉 Sounds very unique! I have a friend who uses vampires and werewolves in her books. 🙂
