Can I just say guys, that that was brilliant. *flails* You all worked really hard, and ended up writing a really cool story. It was also a really hard sort of task because ‘prose’ is so broad. But whatever the result, you guys did a stellar job! *applause* I’ve turned it in now, so we just have to wait and…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Lesson 16 : Hint Dropping in the forum 7 years, 7 months ago
Often it is thought that there are two ways to approach writing: Character driven, or plot driven. However, with well written writing, this does not need to be the case. In fact, it shouldn’t be the case. The two aspects should be interwoven and inseparable.
This also ends up being vital in mastering your suspense. Because, particularly in our m…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Grammar, Punctuation, Passive Voice etc | Tips and Tricks in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 7 years, 7 months ago
So, Parimis, it has come to my attention, that having a space to put up tricks that help people know when to use certain words, pieces of grammar, etc, could be helpful. That will save having to hunt through all of the critues and things to find that one gem that someone had.
So, if you have any helpful little tit-bits, feel free to share!

Okay Parimis!
I’ve spent most of today tackling our entry, and have added a lot more character voice. That’s made the prose stronger, but to be honest, ‘unique’ is a rather cryptic phrase. However, we need to cut down a few words. So, cutting back is appreciated!
Once again, here is the…[Read more]

STELLAR WORK PARIMIS!!!!!
(Yes, I’m tagging you all cos I really will get confused with all of the scrolling and hunting for what different people have said. :P)
PROSE: Haha, Shakespeare is probably not an ideal thing to be weaving in. Doesn’t fit allllll that well. However, in general, we will need to be working on making the prose really…[Read more]

Evelyn replied to the topic Parimi Bards anyone? in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 7 years, 7 months ago
So I wrote a poem last night, and I was hoping for some feedback about it. I write a lot of poetry late at night when I have trouble falling asleep, and lately I’ve been messing around with a sweet and simple feel portraying things a young child would go through or do throughout their day.
I like to sing to my Grandma,
She likes to hear my…

@consciousdreamer I’ve never heard of her before but I’ll have to look that book up!

@consciousdreamer For whatever reason, SE deleted your post. I got the email though, and your poem is beautiful!

Evelyn replied to the topic Parimi Bards anyone? in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 7 years, 7 months ago
@consciousdreamer Wow that’s pretty great. 🙂
What kind of poems do you like to write?
And by the way everyone, while I was out of town this past week I read While We Were Very Young, a collection of poetry by the man who wrote Winnie the Pooh Bear. And it’s so simple and lovely, I can’t wait to be my own copy. <3

Hi Parimis!
As you may have gathered, I’m not exactly well at the moment, hence I haven’t even looked at what you’ve done last week. Sorry about that. D:
As it is, seeing that, a) I’m currently a mess, and b) there’s a guild war going on, that you can just give some feedback on how you reckon the annual theme topic is going.
Have you been…[Read more]

Hello Parimis!
If you hadn’t gathered already, you may well have drawn the short straw with this guild. *grimaces* I’m sick again, and hopefully will be diagnosed later today, but prayers are always appreciated. (with any luck I won’t be hospitalised) But yes, prayers for health are always appreciated as I seem to end up with some weird…[Read more]

Okay, sorry that I’ve been kinda chaotic and sporadic and stuff lately guys, but things have kinda been blegh and yeah. Anyways. I am here now and hopefully can make some suggestions.
BASICALLY, what @ariella-newheart summarised is what we are going with.
I really enjoy the ideas that are being thrown around, and my one concern is that we do…[Read more]

*Mechanical messenger dragon buzzes through the sky* *gears turn and out of a contraption in it’s stomach a rolled parchment drops*
Greetings Parimis,
(We should make up a cultural greeting btw, 🙂 )
Basically I’m wondering if there are any other poets in the world. 😉
Anyone??

@consciousdreamer Those are AMAZING. I really want to read the first one. And I totally get being stuck on two different stories; I’m going through the same problem right now as well 😂

Okay, all of this sounds absolutely stellar. Like, really guys. Good job. I’m impressed.
NOTE: @steward-of-the-pen is close, there is a 2500 word limit. Jane only has so much time to go through all of them.

- The character sounds stellar.

“Write any story you choose with the most original and creative prose that you can.”
THE TIME HAS COME PARIMIS.
War has been declared among the guild’s of Story Embers, and Parimi Alca is in terrible danger.
The competition will be tough. Avensbeck has won all of the prompt wars so far, and if we aren’t careful, they will dominate again. Also, t…[Read more]

This question was raised as an aside by @consciousdreamer a few days back, and I figured it could be good to spend one of our Monday lessons on it.
All too often, you can be reading a book and then have to put it down and rub your eyes because the writer just had their entire cast described down to every freckle in one chapter. You have all of…[Read more]
