Catwing

@shadowwriter161
Yeah! 😀

Yes. The form is kinda intimidating, but once you’re in it isn’t that scary. XD

Feel free to ask if there an abbreviation you don’t understand. 🙂
MC is a common one. It stand for Main Character.

@kayla-skywriter Hello! Nice to meet you. I don’t think we’ve meet before. *Throws feathers* 😀
Yes! I think that’s a great…[Read more]

@shadowwriter161
Good. 😀

I’m an Ereki, which means I’m in Erekdale. People in guilds have badges by their names with their guild’s crest (or whatever it’s called). As you can see Erekdale’s is a light blue with mountains. You can see which guild each crest lines up with on the Guilds page.

Yes! I enjoy it a lot! 😸
Everyone explained guilds…[Read more]

@shadowwriter161
You’re welcome glad that was helpful. 😀

Well, some of my friends are Alpha/Beta readers. Family members could also do this. But sometimes the most helpful comments are from other writers. You can start a thread on here to ask if anyone wants to Beta your book or if you get in a guild, you could ask in there.
There are some…[Read more]

@trallion *flies in through the window* Kree, kree! A new Ereki! 😀
You also meet me on the chat. But I’m Catwing the catwing, which is a cat with wings (also part cheshire so if I start confusing you just let me know. :P). And as @karthmin said, I’m the Word Master. That just means I help with the Word Wars. *takes a bow*
Oh! We’ll need to…[Read more]

@shadowwriter161
Alpha readers read your book right after you write it. People’s definitions may vary. They could read it before you edit it or just be the first people you show it too (I think).
Beta Readers are just people who read your book and usually they are supposed to leave comments to help you. 🙂

I’m glad you found this place. 😀

@shadowwriter161
I used to write my stories on paper, but then I realized I would have to type them up so since then I’ve been writing digital. I don’t remember when I did but it was before I started Finding Secrets, cause I started that on the Pages app. Since then I’ve moved to Google Docs. Which works good for people to put comments and stuff…[Read more]

@shadowwriter161
I had to look back through my old drafts and when it said I created the doc to figure that out. 🙂

That’s okay. I’ve polished and revised mine a lot. It’s the one I show people if they want to know about my book.

Your book sounds very intriguing. 😀
And don’t worry sometimes I don’t explain things well either. 😉

@shadowwriter161
Thanks. XD
I actually started the very first draft way back in 2014… I’ve changed the plot a few times *cough*and taken long breaks from it*cough* My writing has grown a lot since then. Which is really good. Story Embers and Kingdom Pen have been major in helping me become a better writer. 🙂
(Kingdom Pen is by some of the same…[Read more]

@shadowwriter161 Yes. Everyone’s really nice. 😀

That makes sense actually. Cause if you have a longer name you’re probably going to have a shortened version. At least I think… I could be entirely wrong. XD It at least seems that why with characters. *shrug*

The title is Finding Secrets.
This is the current blurb/summary:
Alex and her friends…[Read more]

If only I could teleport in real life…
Well at least I’ll be at Realm Makers and I heard that some Emberlings are going there. I’m super excited for that. *flailing* *throws feathers* 😀

@shadowwriter161 *throws feathers* Welcome to Story Embers! 😀
Your book sounds cool. 🙂
I actually have a character with a similar name, Alexandria, but she goes by Alex. I just thought that was funny. 😛 But don’t worry the plot is different and it’s Fantasy plus Sci-fi.

@karthmin That makes sense. *nods*

@morreafirebird *throws feathers* Nice to meet you Khylie. Welcome to Story Embers! Fortunately you’re in the best guild. Kree, kree Ereki! 😛

I think I’m not confused. Just hopefully you aren’t confused about whether I’m confused. That would be confusing. Now wouldn’t it? Too much confusion ties your brain in knots that are confusing to untie. *grins*

@seekjustice I finished several of my goals. I didn’t clean though… And some days I didn’t write. But I did most days. 🙂 *I thought I commented this already, but apparently not. XD*

@the-fledgling-artist Well I use WordPress.com (apparently at least slightly different than WordPress.org I found out. I know it’s kinda weird. Like what with that? *Shrug*)
I looked at the themes and there are some that look like they might work for an artist portfolio. (I think. There are some that center on pictures at least. Like this.)
I used…[Read more]

Congratulations on getting your first 1st place, New Wessex. And congrats to Knaphollow for getting second. 🙂
Yay! Erekdale got 3rd place again! *throws feathers everywhere* 😀

@daeus Are you not doing the individual highest word count anymore?

@the-fledgling-artist I don’t think I ever replied to you before… So here.
What you said was pretty helpful. 🙂
I graduated recently so some friends from where I moved came over for that. So that was really nice. I think I’m starting to see that I am making friends. Slowly, but I am doing it. So that’s also nice.

You had asked for the summary…[Read more]

@princess-foo *nods* Yeah, I should’ve tried to do more write-ins, but I was graduating too. Yay! 😛
Maybe if we keep trying we’ll be able to get more people to do it. I hope so at least. I’ll try to do more than just one next time. 😀

Has everyone turned in their word counts? If you haven’t yet, now would be a good time. 🙂

Also how do you think I’m doing as the Word Master. Is there something I could improve on?

I graduated… I also made some progress on the chapter. But not as much as I’d like. I ended up not posting on my blog cause some friends stayed over. That was fun and I don’t regret it at all. 😀 But I was busier than I thought I would be. XD
