Hello all! I’m just going to let you know that this thread exists now! *throws celebration confetti everywhere*
If you want to have a word war with people (where you basically have a writing race with each other) you can just say you’re around and up for a war!

J.A.Penrose started the topic Writing Life : How to Deal with Non-Motivation/Discouragement in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 7 years, 3 months ago
Hello Parimis!
I’m going to say now: feeling unmotivated and discouraged is something I struggle with a lot. I don’t tend to deal with it well (you can occasionally walk into my room to find me curled up in blankets on the floor with a lifetime supply of chai-tea and tissues) but it looks like Faith has a few words of wisdom for us…[Read more]

Hello Parimis!
This is our Weekly Guild Discussion from Brandon this week, and we’ll be looking at a really cool topic: Reading. Without any further rambling at the front, we’ll hand over to Brandon.
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 s…[Read more]

I see! Dhilorwis sounds like a fantastic place. I am concerned for this first group. I doubt the Great Squirrel is worthy of much adoration. >-<
Are the tales of Dhilorwis recorded anywhere?@steward-of-the-pen

@anne_the_noob14
Awesome! Yeah, if you change your mind, that’s okay, but I like that you’re planning on teaching AND writing. I think that’s wise to not rely solely on writing. I’ll look forward to reading your work, I LOVE good dialogue.

@cassie-hartfinh *sends a flutterby message* No need to apologize! Sandsnakes are most formidable foes.
Quick update: I had a brainwave of an idea for another book, this one a sci-fi/fantasy mashup. I’m not going to write it until I finish editing my first book, though I will do some plotting and worldbuilding for it. 🙂

April J. Rhys started the topic What is your Storyteller's Superstrength? in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 7 years, 3 months ago
Hello, guild people! 🙂
Once my writing teacher told me that every writer had a super power. Something that they were especially good at. Maybe it was wordsmithing, or world building, or description, or connecting readers with a character, or creating a sense of suspense, etc.
So, since I’m still meeting you all, I wanted to know what you think…[Read more]

@evelyn Yeah…it isn’t. <:P But God has provided remarkably whenever that happens. Sometimes I even feel pumped after a debate.
I’ve heard of Mock Trial! That always sounded like a ton of fun and super educational. What a better way to learn how the law system actually works. 🙂 I do love to study, but I’m all done with school (yay!) so I am not…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose I only know a little bit of Quenya. I happened to know that particular phrase because I had recently seen it. I have tried to learn Quenya, but right now I am working on Latin instead. Could you translate your question for me?

@cassie-hartfinh Good to hear you made it out okay! That does sound exhausting.

@cassie-hartfinh Welcome back! Did you find any griffins hiding in the Great Desert or were you there only to battle sandsnakes?

Parimis! Attention!
We have some amazing new Parimis! I’m sure you’re all super excited, like me, plus, holidays have started for where I am, so I’m trying to convince myself that essays can wait, and I can actually do a heap more here to get it properly going again.
Anyways. Please make @april-j-rhys and @being-crazy-is-not-all-bad feel welcome…[Read more]

Ello Parimis! It’s me, Jess! Yay. I feel like it’s been an age since I’ve written one of these, but today, we are looking at health while writing. This probably sounds an awful lot like what you’ve heard in PDHPE lessons, but just bear with me. 😀

@cassie-hartfinh 1000% percent accurate. Especially trying to explain what your novel’s about… it’s hard to make it sound interesting without spoilers!

Up to lesson four now, Parimis! Today we’re hearing from Martin, and he’s looking at what he has dubbed, ‘the Artist’s Eye’. I can’t wait to get stuck into it. 😀
Thanks Martin!
