Yes, the title of this thread is a joke. Yes, this is an icebreaker.
You are the ice, and I am going to break you to pieces.
Sorry…I don’t know where that came from.
Anyway! You all look like fun people and I really want to meet you. Here are five questions that will unveil your very soul.

Hey guys, so things are changing.
I just held a planning meeting with the other guild masters and we were talking about how to improve the guild experience so we can all safely say the guilds are the most awesome place for writers to be.
Based on these decisions, we’ve decided to make a few changes. (PLEASE PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION).
First and…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb started the topic Character workshop in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 3 months ago
Hey guys,
Let’s do something different this week. We talk about characterization a lot, now let’s put it into practice.
For this to work, we’re going to need one or more volunteers. If anyone has a character who isn’t behaving quite how they want them to, post about it here and we’ll have fun dissecting them together and learning from our…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb started the topic One of my fav articles on character developement in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 3 months ago
Hey Saxon Scribes,
Look out! I’ve got a silver bullet for you today.
This is one of my top favorite articles on character development ever: https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/boba-fetts-guide-writing-cool-characters/
Why? Because it teaches you how you can pack tons of characterization into as small a space as a single s…[Read more]

Hey Saxon Scribes,
Could you help us guildmasters out? We launched the guilds to be fun, tight-knit groups where you could inspire each other, keep each other accountable, form great friendships, and improve your craft.
We’ve seen some of these benefits for sure, but we know that there’s plenty of room for us to improve and we want to offer you…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb started the topic Children and their character voices in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 3 months ago
Hey Saxon Scribes!
Sorry I missed a week, but I’m back with our annual theme discussion on characterization, trying to dig deeper and cover a lot of ground so at the end of the year you’ll be better at characterization than when we began.
Since we just had our competition to write the best story featuring a five-year-old’s POV, I thought that…[Read more]

Rachel Rogers started the topic Where do you read new poetry? in the forum Poetry Discussions 8 years, 3 months ago
Basically what the title says… Where do you go to read new poetry (excepting SE because that’s obvious, okay)? Is there a website you go to? Do you follow poets on Instagram? Do you subscribe to poets.org’s Poem-a-Day? Do you check out books of poetry from the library? Do follow any poetry blogs? Etc….
Tagging a few people who might have some…[Read more]

Alrighty people. First of all, thanks so much for all your help in the doc. You could set up as an editing team and take over the world. ;P
We’re still a few dozen words over the limit, but that shouldn’t be too hard to fix with some more clipping. Right now I’m just going to open the floor for general thoughts on the point of the prompt—…[Read more]

Recently, I was brainstorming ideas for our discussion on characterization and I came up with something I may have never discussed with anyone before. This is pretty cool, so we’re not waiting another week to dive into it.
I call this “that one thing”.
What is “that one thing”? TOT is a single item, habit, etc that is so often associated with a…[Read more]
