Hello, all! It seems like ages since I’ve last been on here, and I’m sure I’m missing some tags for my former beta group…if so, I’m sorry. ::P I’m tagging what I hope is all of you who currently have access to my book even if you have not read it yet, and probably some of you who don’t. I know there’s gotta be a couple of you tagged who haven’t…[Read more]

(Though I actually like the word ‘crowing’ there, as a reference to the pridefulness we too often indulge.)
That’s a good thought! I experimented with different ways to give it that effect, but eventually decided to leave it the way it was. Thank you for the idea and for taking the time to read my poem!

Greetings, fellow poets and writers! My school is having a poetry competition and I would love to enter a poem I wrote called “The Sky Realm.” If you have a chance, I would greatly appreciate thoughts and critiques. The deadline is in about two weeks. 🙂 Thank you!

Daeus Lamb started the topic Introducing GROUPS in the forum Announcements 5 years, 11 months ago
Hey SE people!
We’ve launched a cool new feature on the forum called groups.
You can find them in the nav bar like so:

Groups are hubs for writers to gather around something they share in common. They include a Facebook-like feed and most of them also include their own forums.
So far there are three types of groups:

@cassie-hartfinh
So, first up, congrats! You’ve reached a huge step in your writing journey! *throws confetti*But now, let’s get down to business.
Firstly, I’d very strongly advise seeking a professional edit from someone before starting to pitch your novel. Find a reputable editor, and see where that goes. From what I can tell, if a publishing…[Read more]

Yay, congrats on finishing your draft! *throws confetti over you*
Ohhh I wish I could. Unfortunately my workload is pretty heavy again this year, and I don’t think I have the time to make another commitment. Thanks so much for letting me know, though!

Brianna Storm Hilvety replied to the topic To propose or not to propose, but HOW is the question… in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years ago
I haven’t worked much with book proposals myself, but I found a good article by Jerry B. Jenkins on the subject (which does mention formatting): https://jerryjenkins.com/how-to-write-a-book-proposal/
And if you’d like a visual example, here is a proposal Jill Williamson created for one of her books: http://jillwilliamson.com/wp-c…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Some Thoughts in the forum Announcements 6 years, 1 month ago
Hello Parimis!
I just wanted to gather some thoughts on an idea. Would you guys appreciate having short story competitions once a month again? And if so, would you like to have individual submissions, or would you like to make small groups? (note that this will only be taking place within the guild of Parimi Alca. Maybe every now and then we…[Read more]

Steward of the Pen started the topic How's your writing going? in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 6 years, 1 month ago
Hey, Parimis!
It’s been pretty quiet around here for a while, aside from our character castle, so I thought it’d be great to catch up with everyone and share what we’re working on.
Right now my main project is writing the first draft of my novel, Dahop’s Ember. I’m at a little over 25,000 words, and (I think) I’m just past the first plot point.…[Read more]

Ariella Newheart started the topic An Important Change to My Book in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 6 years, 1 month ago
Hey, Parimis! I’m currently editing Ashen Blaze...again. There’s a reason I call myself an obsessive editor. Anyway, I have a good reason for this edit—a little something called backstory.
Through the years, my beta-readers have often told me that my book begins very suddenly. Readers get punched in the face with the action, so to speak. I a…[Read more]

Hello Parimis!
I vanished off the face of the earth for a few months, it seems. However, I have officially graduated from school, completed exams, and therefore should be free again, like the old days.
I’m really sorry for the general chaos of me not being around, and not really speaking to anyone at all.
Thank you so much @Jane-Maree for…[Read more]
