Oops, you are right @nuetrobolt ! I meant to take that part out, but can’t edit my post now. I’m thinking it’ll be better to try doing it once every 3 to 4 weeks instead of back to back. What does everyone else think?

@cassidy You are absolutely not too late! Come, join! This is a sort of informal activity we are throwing together and seeing how…[Read more]

Coralie started the topic Slippery Syntax in the forum Rillumen’s Writing Discussions 6 years, 10 months ago

Okay, guys! Time for a discussion!

Recently, I’ve been juggling a novella challenge and the 100 for 100 challenge. I kind of left the novella challenge by the wayside, but not before writing around 23,000 words for one draft and 4-5 for another in a different pov. I also thought this would be a good chance to try my hand at first person, since my…[Read more]

Hey guys! I’m filling in for Brandon today.

Prompt war!

Your goal is to write a story where you bring out the beauty of something ordinary in the middle of a very dramatic setting.

Have fun and see if you can beat the mighty Saxon Scribes.…[Read more]

@cassidy Brandon’s right, Nadine is an awesome person to follow and pick up tips from.

Thank you, @nuetrobolt (when did you change your username, anyway?) for getting a few faithful souls gathered up (@graceabounds2129, @cassidy, @corkybookworm, @missfaeriekaiti, and @pookiemonster.)

Brandon Miller started the topic Traditional vs Self Publishing in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 6 years, 12 months ago

Hey guys

It’s been a while since I posted one of these (or anything, really) but when I saw what Jane from Meraki had cooked up (along with help from Daeus and Faith), I had to make sure to share it. If you’re trying to decide whether you want to pursue traditional or self publishing, it’s your lucky week.

J. S. Brink: Throne Warden started the topic Where is everyone? in the forum Announcements 7 years ago

Rillumen has been so inactive lately! Where is everybody? Or has it always been this slow and I never noticed? Not that its bad or anything!

I almost missed the latest word war, so I thought I would remind everyone to quickly send in their total words! The time’s already up, but Daeus Lamb added something today reminding everyone to send in their…[Read more]

Hey guys… It is I… Wordsmith. *nods*

Not long ago I took a long break from all this online stuff… and I finished the first draft of my novel. And I want to let you know, that working with Rillumen is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest reason I actually had it finished in the time-frame of one year. The word-wars have been amazing.…[Read more]

How and What to Read as Writers:

Okay so, we’re all writers, right? We weave words and spin tales and generally have a good go at reality. For most of us though, our love for stories started on the other side of the experience — as readers. Now that we’re writing, it’…[Read more]
