Emily Waldorf started the topic Writing Sprint Group in the forum General Writing Discussions 1 year, 10 months ago
Hello everyone!
I am trying to get 4-6 people together to form a writing spring group. Basically, we get together at scheduled times to do writing sprints. It could be weekly, biweekly, monthly, whatever. I just think it would be good for me to do sprints, and it would be so much funner and more accountable with others!
I was hoping we could…[Read more]

@calidris that sounds like a good method! I’m so glad it works for you. I think it will be tough for the first while, but maybe with practice it will get easier. ? You’re going through “Saves the Cat, Writes a Novel,” right?
Ravens are rare here. We have one pair that has a nest in a water tower here, and sometimes you can see them far off,…[Read more]

“Um..him?” The girl drops the hand of the terror-stricken man.
No, not him. I didn’t know you were holding hands.
“Oh, I was talking about that guy.” Great. Now she’s annoyed. Really annoyed. And she’s going to take it out on her boyfriend.
“uh, neither, I guess?”
Say something. And not ‘I know how you feel’. People say that all the…[Read more]

I recently saw something about the Save the Cat method, but I don’t know much about it. The only one I’ve heard of is the 3-act.
That’s something I ought to do as well, but I think I’ll start by learning through experiments with Jade’s story. I have read about plot, but it’s never really “clicked.” Hopefully some hands on experience wi…[Read more]

A man rolled in, sitting in a chair. It was newer and better designed than any he had seen. He started to wonder what country the man came from, but his thoughts broke off mid-sentence.
pain shot up and down his right leg, overwhelming the other emotions that bombarded him. He categorized them almost unconsciously.
Anger, resentment,…[Read more]

@calidris no. I’ve heard of the book, though. I think the version I use is the 3-act structure.

My regular joke has never worked this well. Mara looks as though she’s seen as ghost. Usually, people just laugh and ignore it for the rest.

I took your suggestion and made a spot where we may plot and scheme of plotting. I look forward to discussing this!

@e-n-leonard I have determined to write my WIP and risk failing. I can always rewrite it when I’m a better author.
@calidris sounds good! Also, can’t wait to see your blog!

@emily-waldorf thank you so much! I might actually end up using a combination of the two, depending on what need help with XD

I want my WIP to be absolutely perfect, and I’m scared that if I write it, it won’t be…I know, not the brightest philosophy, but there it is. I love plotting stories! Let me know if you ever think another brain would help– though I’m sure you can figure it out yourself.
Same here… I have this lovely WIP I’m crazy excited over,…[Read more]

@everyone btw, would you like to have the characters go down one at a time, or get separated into groups? Because I figured there could be some…rather entertaining backstage interactions (kind of like the ballet, for those who remember) XD
I think groups would be best because there’s quite a lot of characters.
I was originally th…

@calidris @emily-waldorf (yep, that’s me!)
CALIX:
“The room’s shrinking!”
The scream scared me so bad my flinch sent me crashing forward and I bumped Val. She stumbled, which yanked me forward as the crowd thickened and squeezed us.
The walls in front rolled back, splitting as everyone left the room. The darkness in the new room as so thick…[Read more]
