Sorry for another belated installment! 😅 Between an SE retreat, Realm Makers, and settling into my new job here, I’ve barely had time to catch my breath (hopefully August will be slower).

For those of you who have missed portions of this story, you can click here for the first installment, here for the second, here for the third, and here for t…[Read more]

Hello everyone!

Just a reminder to start things off: I am always taking questions on The Document for You to Ask Me Writing Questions. If there are multiple unanswered questions, I will answer one per week. If there are no questions at all, I will ask you a question – either humorous, ice-breaker, or a more serious writing question. You never…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren Aw, yeah, that really stinks.  I’m glad you were able to write some, though.  I’ll be praying you’ll be able to break through this dry spot!

@devastate-lasting Great!

How did everyone else do with their goals last week?  Mine went okay. I did reading and some drawing and practicing, but sadly didn’t work at all on my no…[Read more]

Last call for editing everyone! I think it could use some more “mystery” elements, but it’s very good.

I’m back everybody! I had a great week at camp, but now I have returned to continue the battle against our foe. Thanks for taking over for me @karthmin.

Confession time. After reading the Hangouts chat for the war yesterday, I was fully expecting this post to be a “We fought hard but it looks like we won’t make a submission this month, and that’s…[Read more]

I love your responses! Definitely laughed at yours, Devastate. XD

Today we are going to tackle a rather simpler get-to-know-you question to help get some of our newer members up to speed.

What is your favorite animal, would you ride it if you could, and how many colors are…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren @devastate-lasting That’s awesome, guys!

Hey guys!

It’s time to begin writing in earnest! We’ve got our plot in place and at least one writer has volunteered to take up the reins here. We do need more writers (if you already volunteered and I missed your name, I dearly apologize). But we are clear to go, and need to make progress on this puppy so we can unleash our editors.

But first,…[Read more]

@caserola We have prompt wars once a month for two weeks. I don’t think we have a designated writer yet, so you can be one of them! The word limit is 2500 words, and we want to be done writing by the 24th. We still need other writers, so I think you will start writing around Saturday. It is against all the guilds, although there have been times…[Read more]

We did a lot of brainstorming yesterday! We got more detail down than we normally do for these wars, but I think that is important for a mystery.

If no one has any more suggestions then we can get started writing tomorrow. A couple of people expressed an…[Read more]

We need to start making brainstorming decisions. The deadline for brainstorming is Friday. So, I have made up a victim, setting, half-a-motive, and weapon. Feel free to stop me if you have another idea. We can tweak it as much as needed.

Backstory: Ison Crow is the Mayor of [Placeholder Town. Perhaps E-ville]. He invites the elite of the town to…[Read more]

@princess-foo You’re welcome! Glad I could provide a new angle to the discussion. And btw, I personally find the storyline of Character B more sympathetic. I don’t think I can say it is objectively more sympathetic. Reading over what I wrote above, I may have been a little imprecise in some of my wording about Character A’s…[Read more]

Hello again, Ereki!

Boy, you are all getting a whole bunch of emails from all the tagging I’m doing tonight. XD I promise, there won’t be a whole lot more of them. Tonight. 😛

But anyway, I’m happy to announce that we have two new guildlings with us!

Please welcome @michael_stanton and @caserola! Because this is so close on the heels of our…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren *nods* Good, I’m glad. 🙂

@catwing That’s awesome! Are you making a costume for Realm Makers, then? Hope you had fun with the contest!

@sageinthemeadow That’s great! 🙂 My goals have been… pretty good, I think.  I did run every day (I’m trying to run at least 2,000 miles this year), and I did a considerable amount of reading…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren I’m glad you had such a good week! How has your writing been going this week?

@karthmin Cool, camping’s a lot of fun! How has it been getting back into your goals?

@catwing I hope you have a wonderful time at Realm Makers! That sounds like so much fun. 🙂 How have your goals been going this week?  Has Camp NaNo been going…[Read more]
