@noodle-mum OHMIGOSH ALLI YOU JOINED!!!! *runs around screaming and throwing confetti* Welcome to the wondrous world of Story Embers!! I see you already met my good friend Ariel Ashira. Fun fact. She’s the one who did the cover art for The Cry of the Lost. She and Selah Chelyah are both amazing peeps. *nodnod* As is Ariella Newheart. Have you…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Does this mean…we’ve WON…ANOTHER WORD WAR?!?!

@julia @april-j-rhys Oh, adulting is totally hard. I feel you there. It’s why I didn’t get much writing done between February and this past word war, but I finally got a serious amount done! Adulting shall not stop me!! *screams battle cry*

@j-a-penrose

…did we win??

@evelyn 👍

@j-a-penrose I managed to get over 11,600 words in by tonight. *faints*

My favorite quote: Teena squeezed Rona’s arm. “Losing a loved one is never easy,” she responded, “especially for those who have lost loved ones to Sescapa Mordoc.”

But have there ever been any who have lost their brothers to a prophecy that heralds the unraveling of time…[Read more]

Ugh. The writer’s block is real. *bangs head on book* But I’m trying my hardest. I’ve never had a climax that’s so hard to write, though…

@april-j-rhys

The tales of Dhilorwis are still unfolding as I travel her lands with Starscream and record her stories. As for the history of Dhilorwis, everything relevant to her people and their relationship with the Lord Creator, even the creation of Dhilorwis itself, was recorded in a collection of Legends. But throughout the ages, Sescapa…[Read more]

@april-j-rhys Ah, I see. *fingers sword* One could have fooled me. I remain convinced that I am living in the real world, and am not the product of imagination.

Besides humans, Dhilorwis is home to two other Beings. There are the Winuli, whom the Lord Creator granted the gift of flight. But they became prideful of their gift, and this became part…[Read more]

@april-j-rhys I write for ALL of those reasons, lol! And my superpower is probably making readers connect with my characters, but also with a bit of description thrown in.

@christlover

O’ course, my friend! I need a couple more beta readers. You’ll find the first few chapters on this

Google Doc. I haven’t written in it for awhile now, because life happened. BUT, I can feel the winds of inspiration beginning to stir once again, so everybody stay tuned!

@april-j-rhys I’m not exactly sure what roleplaying is, lol. And yes, griffins are more trusting of the other two of the three Beings of Dhilorwis, who are not human. My griffin, Starscream, only trusts me because I help him fight off the sandsnakes which killed his family when he was an adolescent. If I hadn’t shown up with my crossbow when I…[Read more]

@april-j-rhys

It is said in Dhilorwian legend that, after being persecuted by the Naagstumeki for so many millenia, the griffins rounded up their kind and retreated into the thickest jungles of the Eastern Continent. They have rarely been seen since. Thus, befriending one is next to impossible. However, there have been the occasional fireside…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart

*soars in on griffinback* So sorry we’re late yet again, Ari! Starscream insists the defeat of every last existing sandsnake is of top priority. As he is my primary source of transportation, how am I to refuse? *unsheathes sword* *cuts off head of stray sandsnake*

That’s not to say I didn’t read your parchment immediately after…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart

Ehye, right.

@ariella-newheart

Unless you count Starscream, my loyal Protector, there were no griffins. We battled sandsnakes since the aaknorá this morning. It was exhausting. But they’re the ones who killed Starscream’s family, so…yeah, it was kind of a vendetta thing. I did it for him.

@april-j-rhys @christlover @ariella-newheart

Speaking of crazy, here I am yet again after a long absence! Seriously, adventuring in the Great Desert of Dhilorwis is addicting, however deadly. Those sandsnakes, lemme tell you. *brandishes sword*

Ahem. Anyways, I am Cassie Hartfinh; adventurer, tale-spinner, Songweaver, and all-around…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart

ARI!!! Thank God for you!!!

*crash-lands on griffin with unkempt hair and torn clothes*

Hey, guys! What’d I miss? *checks page* Oh, yikes, I’m late in the game. Seems we all are. When do we need to have this thing written? Doesn’t look like we’ve even decided on a final storyline! We might need some Penrose intervention, here.

@j-a-penrose

If I may provide an example of…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 Ooh, intriguing story! This a great start. You definitely have the bones to an awesome plot here. Now, to add the flesh…

So, in chapter three, I like how you’re describing what Kiel is doing, but what’s missing is what Kiel is thinking and feeling as he’s carrying out these tasks. For example, during the hour-and-a-half perio…[Read more]

@evelyn That’s totally fine!! Thanks for at least wanting to read it. That says I’m on the right track as a writer, right? 😛 Have fun with whatever life just threw at you! (Or, if it’s bad, hope you get through it okay.)
