Yeah, I understand…it probably was kinda weird that I was freaking out because its not like your the first person to ever study psychology or something. 🙃 Oh, so your taking it for writing? That’s cool! I bet you’ve learned so much…and your characters are well crafted. I may someday…I think it would be really cool, and it…[Read more]

Eden Anderson replied to the topic Taboos in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 4 months ago
Yeah, I am learning how cool dragons are. 🙂
Yes, so true! World building is amazing. 👌
Thanks, yeah, I am having a lot of fun with it.
I am sorry. It was just because I enjoy learning about the brain and psychology and I thought it was really cool to meet someone who was studying it…who knows what they are talking about, if…[Read more]

@scarletimmortalized Oh, that’s cool! It’s great that you want to know more about your heritage. Unfortunately… I’m not Korean, so I don’t think I’m going to be of very much help.
I don’t have other stories about South Korean culture; this is my first ๐
@cassandraia Aahh, I see xD I think that you can want to learn more about a culture by way…[Read more]

Eden Anderson replied to the topic Taboos in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 4 months ago
Yes, there are definately a lot of annoying fantasy tropes, but some of them arn’t as bad as I thought they were. (I am kinda a hypocrite because I am actually using dragons in my current WIP. *cough* I’m starting to like them. 😛)
Fantasy without magic?! That’s cool! Go you for being unique and original! Yeah, building worlds and…[Read more]

@eden-anderson Thanks for the help!
@literatureforthelight That’s really interesting *beaming with happiness getting the behind the scenes tour* I’ve only watched figure skating on the Olympics ๐
Well I forgot to say XP that I’ve been raised in America, being adopted from South Korean *facepalm* so I actually don’t know a lot. My hope was to…[Read more]

@scarletimmortalized Hey there! As @eden-anderson mentioned, I did write New Wessex’s guild war entry this time. Thanks – I’m glad you liked it ๐
The reason I chose South Korea is because I mainly follow figure skating, and I wanted to choose a country that isn’t one of those that dominate the figure skating field, but in real life has/could…[Read more]

Eden Anderson replied to the topic A happy ending ๐ in the forum Announcements 7 years, 4 months ago
Oh, that’s super interesting! I’ve never really thought about whether I was more prose or character oriented, but that’s a really intriguing thought. 😀
Yeah, it was kinda a bummer. Oh, well…I guess the others were too busy. We still did amazing!😀 (Yay, for NEW WESSEX!!)
YAY!!! 🤗…[Read more]

Thank you! And Great job! I can’t believe we got second place.
We’ll have to push ourselves harder next time. Like we did with the dream sequence one.
Good job everyone!
@bama-rose @eden-anderson @cassandraia
This feels like the smallest team we’ve ever had working on the prompt war.

Thanks @noahlitle for originating the idea in the first place… and also switching the order around, even at last minute ๐ But I’m sure it made the story stronger.

Okay, good. 😀
Yeah, I’m beginning to learn how awesome fantasy is! For the longest time I was just kinda like “blah” and I didn’t really like it…all the dragons and magic and “you are the chosen one” stuff just annoyed me. It felt like every christian and their cousin was writing fantasy…but now I’m starting to see why everybody…[Read more]

Oh yes, that’s very true. Fear is not always a bad thing, sometimes it’s good, even life saving! Sorry I should have clarified that I was talking about the strong, binding type of fear, the type that can hold us in slavery.
That’s cool that you write fantasy too! I mostly write his-fic and contemporary, but am currently writing…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb started the topic My new research secret in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 4 months ago
I recently made a big breakthrough. As you may know, whether you write speculative or real-world fiction, you need to do research for your story feel authentic and rich.
But… research is hard. Particularlyย if all you want to read is fiction, like me. ๐
Enter audiobooks. For me at least, audiobooks take almost no commitment to plow through.…[Read more]

ATTENTION!
If you haven’t seen it, I made a post about some changes to the forum and guilds. They’re not that big really and I think they’ll improve everyone’s experience.
On a related note, I’m trying to move everybody to subscribe to new posts in the guild so I don’t have to tag everybody each time I make a post. To do this, go to New Wessex.…[Read more]

Hey, guys. Sorry I’m so late. I made a few suggestions. I hope I’m notย too late.
Looks good, @literatureforthelight. I couldn’t have written it better. The only thing I would change is the order, but that’s just my personal interest in non-linear narrative showing through.
I hope we win! (NEW WESSEX…[Read more]
