J.A.Penrose started the topic Writing Life: Why Write? in the forum 6 years, 10 months ago
Hey guys!
If you hadn’t noticed, we’re three weeks behind! *hides face in shame* However, I’m just going to catch it all up tonight so that we’re back on track!
This particular post was written by yours truly on why we should even write in the first place.
If you’re reading this, the chances are pretty high that you’re a writer. But how oft…[Read more]

Results are up! We didn’t do so well this time, but we did know that. 😉 A fair few people didn’t get their counts in on time, and those of us who did, didn’t write a ton. Myself well and truly included.
But guess what, guys? There’s a good chance that we’ll have a word war in July when we’re Camp NaNo-ing to absolutely thrash the other guilds!…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Camp NaNo Anyone? in the forum Announcements 6 years, 10 months ago
Hello all, and welcome to the month before July, or more specifically, the month before a lot of writers go completely mental and write a heap. 😉
If you are new to the vast quantity of writing forums out there, April and July are Camp NaNo seasons. Camp NaNo is an online writing “camp” where you and up to 19 fellow writers band together to try…[Read more]

Guys, guess what??
Parimi Alca is ONE YEAR OLD! *flails* It was announced to the world on May 28th, and Steward reminded me of this the other day. Unfortunately, I then totally ran out of time to actually say anything. 😛 But I just wanted you all to know this exciting fact, and get excited with me. 😀
So yay,…[Read more]

Hello all! This has actually been around for a while, but I totally forgot to announce it. (story of my life right now, honestly. XD)
We didn’t win, sadly. </3Â That title goes to our friends over in Meraki, so be sure to congratulate them!
Our main issue was (as we kinda knew) that it was a HUGE story trying to masquerade as a super-duper…[Read more]

Does Jess deserve an award for being super forgetful??? YEP. *nervous laughter* Thank you, Catherine, for reminding me of this. XD
We have a word war happening, people!
This one is going from Monday to Sunday. If you’ve already written words from Monday to today, count them as well. *facepalm* Still can’t believe I forgot this.

J.A.Penrose started the topic Writing Life : The Community in the forum 6 years, 10 months ago
As an introvert who lives in the middle of nowhere and is known for muttering, “humans” under her breath whenever she’s around other people, I have to say that I often find it hard to actually hang out with people…Even the writerly sort. I mean, what if they’re extroverts? What if there’s more than two of them?
Thankfully, Faith is here today…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Guild War : You Know It in the forum Announcements 6 years, 11 months ago
On that note…
If we haven’t started on a draft in 24 hours, I’m probably just going to start writing. Just so that we definitely have something to hand in. *fingerguns* Ideally, I let you guys write the first draft so that you can practice and grow, but having something happening is the no. 1 priority.
Volunteers,…[Read more]

As Christlover has said, guys, I reckon it’s time for us to get writing!
For all of you old-timers, (You’re over a year old, some of you. Yikes!) you should be pretty familiar with the routine, and it would be great if you keep things going smoothly through the rather chaotic drafting process that’s about to ensue.
The doc we’ll be writing in is…[Read more]

Hello Parimis!Â
While I’m here, I just wanted to thank you all for being so good with being active and commenting and helping each other out with things. I’m quite often not replying to things, and it’s just great to see you all doing it instead! <3
Moving on. Today’s lesson comes from my awesome cousin, Jane, who does a lot with editing,…[Read more]

@pursuewisdom *shuffles feet* The only 2nd POV book I’ve ever read was a choose-your-own adventure, so I’m not an expert either. I might try experimenting with it one day, though.
@coggleton That’s an interesting idea, but it seems like it could get really confusing. (I had to read your post a few times to fully understand what you were saying.…[Read more]

Hello all!
If you haven’t seen our guild home page, you definitely should check it out. And I know that the running list of current members is completely wrong, but I plan to get Daeus onto that soon. (Or get his permission to let me fix it.)
However, what I want to draw your attention to, is that I’ve talked about ‘biomes.’ Back in our ‘[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Writers' Corner in the forum 6 years, 11 months ago
At the request of @ariella-newheart, Parimi Alca now has a Writers’ Corner! *cheers*Basically, this is just where you say that you are writing, and others who are around can all write with you and hold you accountable on a smaller scale.
I mean, how often do we sit down to write and find ourselves scrolling through Pinterest boards of different…[Read more]

@evelyn Ooooh yep. That’d be cool.
@calebonline I’m not 100% sure what you mean. Because from memory, that’s what 2nd person entails?
@christlover Hmm, yes. Letters are a fairly obvious one. The problem would be that they generally have both 1st and 2nd person within them…

You have seen the notification that there is a guild war coming. Holding your breath between your teeth, you click on the notification.
“We’ll win the war this time.” The thought brushes, feather-light, against your mind. “Just what exactly is it?”
A war of You.
Well Parimis! After that fantastic smashing of a word war, I think it’s time…[Read more]

Hey guys, sorry this is late. But guess what? It’s May, and time for me to set up some new things for the guild! (It’s also International Star Wars Day, so as a Sith, I’m pretty darn excited about that.)
Back on task though. Today we’re hearing from Maddie about how to gain the habits required to write consistently. I’m excited, because I’m…[Read more]
