Yay more things to critique! Could you post a link with commenting privileges so that I can leave my thoughts more pointed to where they’re relevant?

@missfaeriekaiti Now would be grand. Just whenever you have time.

@scribbles, yeah non-human is totally allowed! Here in a couple weeks we’re really going to focus on how unique POVs affect description, but if you want to jump the gun feel free.

@emma-starr, that’s a great question. I think if you’re looking for critique style feedback on a poem, then this is the place to put it. Maybe just indicate that it’s a poem in the title.

@sir-leeds if you’re looking for poetry critiques, I’d say that here in Rillumen’s critique section would be best since it sounds like we have some poetic talent around the place. Can wait to see what you’ve come up with!

Quick note: these are supposed to be little five minute activities that you can squeeze into a busy day, so just kind of first draft it and throw it out there. Don’t not do it bc you don’t have time.

Hey @quinn-ofallon glad you could join us! 😀
What do you blog about? Also, the outlining stage is my favorite ever. What caused you to start writing?

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]

Christian artistry doesn’t compare to the real stuff.

I’m sure you’ve heard that before. Over and over and over. You’ve probably even thought it. Why? Because, in many cases, it’s sad but true. Christian […]

This article is fantastic, Brandon! 👍🏻 I think it’s my favorite one of yours so far. I particularly liked your point about good versus evil and how stories are mere prattle without those values. Being a Christian storyteller is certainly a high calling and you’ve shown us that brilliantly.
-
Oh, cool. It gets a favorite award. *awarded* Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for this, Brandon. It’s so encouraging, to know that it’s all about Him. Our stories can have the most power, because they have a true hope. I love that we can rely on His strength alone. It’s not about us, but about him. I really needed to hear this today.
-
I’m glad this was encouraging. TBH, I also needed to hear this today, so I’m glad it circled around the publishing circuit. Talk about timing. 😛

Shoutout to Grace for an amazing podcast episode. (Have any of y’all listened to it? She’s pretty good!)
-
I did! She did amazing for sure. *nods* That combined with your writing was awesome. 🙂

I’m so happy you guys liked it. <3 <3 ☺

I really hope this gets shared all over the internet.
-
This is so powerful!! Thanks for the new perspective. 🙂
-
Wow, this was really good and really encouraging! I agree with Daeus. I hope a lot of people will read this! Christians need to realize the truth you presented in this article!
-
Soooo good, Brandon. Thank you for sharing this. I’m definitely saving it to re-read.
-
Probably my favorite article I’ve recorded so far! 😀 I especially loved the first section on how we were created to create. Definitely something I need to remind myself of more often. 🙂
-
Wow, Brandon! This really needed to be said! I remember feeling the exact same way about The Fault in Our Stars as you did about Turtles–it is so heartwrenching to see people write beautifully compelling questions and then stand at a loss when it’s time for answers. (I think a lot of F Scott Fitzgerald’s work is exactly like this.) Thanks for the great article!
-
Wow. This is the single most encouraging thing I’ve read about writing. It helps bust writers’ block and shows me once again why and how I must write. Thank you so much.
-
Wow, that’s pretty cool. Go forth, be encouraged. Write lots of words.
-
-
Whoa. That was potent. I think I might just print this and hang it on my wall. The spirit that dwells within me leapt for joy when I read this. Wow…I’m at a loss for words. Thank you so very much for sharing this encouraging, enlightening, and hope-filled mantra.

Somehow I just now saw this article. I really like it! Thanks!

@scribbles Woah, a story. Cool.
It’s finals week around here, but I’ll see if I can find the time to take a look at it at some point.

@scribbles really that you get excited about writing talk and critiquing. That’s all. Bc I do too and I’m glad there’s two of us here.

Hey Everybody!
SO TODAY I went to a writer’s conference in town (Wordsowers) and met (and re-met) some amazing people. Learned a lot about writing, sat down with Tosca Lee and had a critique session, laughed with other writers about writer things. It was amazing.
Have any of you been to any writing conferences? Why/why not? Which ones? Have…[Read more]

Hey everybody, if you want to have people make sure you actually meet your goals, swing over and post them in the accountability forum! (That way you have to come up with actual deadlines and stuff. It’s a scary world!)
