Our topic this week is on being a beta-reader. This one was also written by Daeus Lamb. Have you ever beta-read for anyone?

Beta reading is a great way to make friends, help others, and even polish your skills.

Today, I want to give you some tips so that, when you beta read, the friend you’re working for will be thrilled they asked for your h…[Read more]

Note: The guildmasters decided on the topic of writing life. So each week, you will get a discussion on something to do with Writing Life. Today’s topic is written by Daeus Lamb.

We know that critique is vital for our growth as writers, yet we rarely stop to think how to optimize the critique we get.

Critique is a limited resource, so I think it…[Read more]

The writing prompt this time is: write a believable conversion scene.

Deadline: March 24th

Instead of doing a new post every week, I’m going to do one each month. You can subscribe to the post and I’ll only tag you in the first post each month.

So what goals do you have for this week? My goal is to get at least 6,000 words written in my rewrite of my WWI novel.

How did your goals go last week? What are they for this week? I finished my goals last week. This week I want to go through and edit some of my next novella, but I would also like to get some sort of fiction writing done as well.

How did your goals go last week and what are your goals for this week?

My goals last week were a fail with the exception of finding a formatter. This week I want to go through my proofreader comments and finish writing three book reviews.

And now we get to the best and hardest part of the story. It’s where everything finalizes which means we have to say goodbye to our characters, but it’s also the best part because our characters finally get it and learn from all the problems you’ve put them through.

The Climax

The key to a good climax is a satisfying ending, but also something…[Read more]

How did your goals go last week? I got about half of mine done which isn’t too bad since I had very little energy all week.

Do you have any goals for this week?

Good morning again, Avensers!

We have another writing prompt war! This time the prompt is: write a story with a non-cliché happy ending.

Our deadline is February 17th at midnight to finish at which time it will be submitted by a guildmaster. I will be judging, so I can’t help you out at all (so please don’t tag me in here). One of the other…[Read more]
