Yay for no revolts and friends with prayers.  Thanks a ton!

@Emma-Starr Yep, nope, I poked Josiah about that the other day.  Will poke again.
Thanks for pointing it out!

@emma-starr, oh, because this is the best guild.

Actually, we didn’t technically fight over Rillumen.  We fought over all you individual people and then added the ones that we got to our guild.  If that makes any sense.

@Morgan Tailor

My ideal sammitch order is one that I don’t have to make myself (bc idk how 😉 )

But no, really, my ideal sammitch is…

Sub-style bread (wheat tho)
Lettuce (lots of)
Olives (black)
Pepperoni
Salami (hard)
Ham (black)
Cheese (pepperjack, cheddar, swiss)
TOAST
then finish with tomatoes, onions, and pickle relish.

Then, take…[Read more]

Yay for more 1s!  Glad to have you on board.  You both?  Who’s both?

Cool, I’m really glad Rillumen was a hit bc I had no idea what to name us.  (Actually, fun fact # idkiamnotnumberingthese, we were originally going to be Lorehaven but then I guess there’s a Christian writer’s mag that’s going to be called Lorehaven and Josiah edi…[Read more]

That’s… strange.  Like I said, I’ve only read Elantris and the Reckoners and some of his short stuff and that was all p clean?  It’s not common that an author (or just any human) varies the amount of profanity they use that dramatically.  *humphs* Dear Mr. Sanderson, who told you that was cool?

Hey, @martina we’ve got our first forum jumper!

Naw, it sounds like they just added you to the wrong subforum.  I’ll get a hole of Daeus and he’ll send you over to Avensbeck.  It was nice to see you for a bit tho!

@aster Wait, no don’t disappear!  :'(

Anyway, glad to hear both the name and the Enda reference were well-received.  Hope to see you around again some day.

@rolena-hatfield

Deal.

(And let’s be real here, if I somehow could exterminate all the squirrels, there would be plenty of people willing to make me twinkling rich for such a skillset.)

Wow.  #goals

How does she do that?  Does she use newsletter?  Her blog?  A facebook group?  Has she shared any tips on how writers can engage with their readers when the actual ability to spend that much time on something is limited?

@grace-tolkienista Well thanks for being honest, 😉  We’ve got a few Sanderson fans in here (including me) so hopefully we can provide enough fandom energy for  you.  Glad to have you around!  (And glad that you like Peter Pan.)

@jane-maree Clueless person?  Look, it’s me.  We’ll all figure it out together.  Also, how do you contract we will a…[Read more]

@grace-livingston

Best. Feeling. Ever.

@grace-livingston

Yes.  Yes now that you bring it up, we need Rillumen swag.  All the way.  Most def.  Wow, 800 words tho… nice job!  I haven’t written 800 words in a day in…. longer than I care to recall.

If you want some brainstorming help, I’d post a topic in the General Writing Discussions board (I think?)  Sure, yeah, that’s what I’d d…[Read more]

May 6th, huh?  Well that’s not very long at all.

You can do it tho, we’ll push and shove you forward.  Good luck!

SANDERSON!  Yes.  I love Sanderson a lot.  I’ve read Elantris and the Reckoners and a handful of his novellas.

Interesting thought though, I might just have gotten a poor selection or something, but I’ve never read a Sanderson novel with an ending that I loved.  Calamity was cringeworthy in my opinion.  Prime example of how not to end a book…[Read more]

@scribbles  Welcome!

I’M SO GLAD you got my reference!  I reference random stuff so often bc I hear all the voices in my head, but then when I type it out it loses the voice and people read right over it.  Last Friday I was calling a dance (DRESSED AS PETER PAN) and there was one move we did over and over so eventually I was like “do it again, bc…[Read more]

YES CAMP NANO!

Yeah, I really love NaNoWriMo and did a Camp NaNo last summer too, but with college and SE launching I didn’t need another thing to worry about, so I didn’t participate this time around.  Looking forward to July though!

@Ashlyvye, there are less cool things to be than aliens.

Basically, setting has two aspects:

1. The literal space your character exists in.  As writers, we have to create and describe interesting and concrete rooms, offices, houses, and battlefields to act as stages for our characters.

2. The other aspect of setting is a broader sense of the…[Read more]
