Jane Maree started the topic {Story Theory – Week 16} Writing a Blurb in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 5 months ago
Did I forget to do our ‘weekly’ thread last week?
Yes. Yes I did.
You all have permission to throw tomatoes at me. 😛
This week, I’m going to have a look at how to write a blurb without all the tears and pain. Unless it’s just me who seriously dreads writing blurbs. 😅
First off, what is your blurb meant to do?
Your blurb is what someone…[Read more]

The deadline is a week away!! We need to make a decision, but it’s so hard to pick! Maybe we can go with whatever someone is willing to volunteer to write.
If you like one of the main ideas and want to write it, go ahead and raise your hand. We don’t want to pick a story then have no one to write a first draft.
Ideally, we’ll have a completed…[Read more]

@esther-sears I’ve found it suuuper helpful in all my edits so far!
@ashira Thank youuu. ❤
@caleb-e-king You should definitely try it out sometime!
@mairin-atha Nice! That’s a great start to the synopsis. 😀

E.B. Raulands replied to the topic Inside Out in the forum Story Analysis 7 years, 5 months ago
*cough* It seems I may have made a small mistake when I thought this would be a popular choice for analysis. XD
However, I’d still like to try going through an analysis using our story theory lessons, so I was wondering if there is a film/book/story you’d all like to try to analyze this way?
If you would, maybe list 3-5 options you’d like to…[Read more] -

Alright, guys. Ignoring the fact that I forgot to write this yesterday….IT’S SYNOPSIS TIME!
Before I begin, I want to clear up one little thing.
A book synopsis is a three- to four-page summary of your book, that tells your story from beginning to end, outlining the important plot scenes and character development moments and twists. These…[Read more]

It’s been a literal AGE since we last did a guild war, but we guild masters are finally kicking ourselves into gear and we’ve got another show on the road! WHO’S EXCITED???
Okay, let’s get to the actual plan.
The prompt: write a story with a non-cliché happy ending.
The dates: Monday 4th – Monday 18th
Same drill as always.

E.B. Raulands started the topic Inside Out in the forum Story Analysis 7 years, 6 months ago
As you could probably tell by the title, this topic will be dealing with Inside Out, which unlike the other three analysis topics is a cartoon. But, if you’ve seen the movie, I think you’ll agree that is a very well-done and surprisingly powerful film. The question is, why is it so good? How were the writers able to take a film medium designated…[Read more]

@caleb-e-king Aw no! It should’ve just been on the right hand side, I think. 🤔

Jane Maree replied to the topic {Story Theory (aka: editing, but I’m still in denial and so I’m not changing the title yet) – Week 14} Common Problems to Look for During Your Edits in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 6 months ago
@professorsjb You don’t really struggle with too low stakes?? 😯 That’s great though. When looking through my early drafts I often find that I raise the stakes up until a little past the halfway point, then I don’t know where to raise them to next so they just stay static. 😆

Calling all MEERKATS!
Welcome to the newest addition to the Meraki guild: Live Q&As with the Guild Master! (That means me 😂) I saw someone suggesting this idea and I really liked it, so after getting approval from the other guild masters, I’m kicking it off in a test run to see if it works out!
How it will work:
