*notes down to do the next guild lesson on managing to weave in character description without over clogging the story and making it chunky and poorly paced*

Yup! Pretty much what @steward-of-the-pen said. I’ll add a few more things on Monday and expand it out a bit. You can then add in a snippet there and…[Read more]

Can I just say guys, you are doing awesomely here. O-o

I think I may spend all of tomorrow afternoon just going through these and collaborating some more things together and then responding to this stellar thread.

Also, I’m thinking that we may end up using some of our world building to have our own mini Parimi Alca tournaments? As in,…[Read more]

We have another member who can not make it with us any longer.

Namarie @Northerner ! *waves*

1. The Characteristic Moment

Oooh, I like this idea. It allows for the reader to see a bit of an interesting way of thinking, kinda like Szeth in The Way of Kings. (Brandon Sanderson again)

Seems to be a strong Characteristic Moment, so yay!

2. The Inciting Incident

Ah, nice. *nodnod* That definitely helps make her get…[Read more]

@consciousdreamer

Yeah, physical descriptions are tricky to do without info dumping or sounding awkward. Here’s some things I try to keep in mind when I’m writing description:

• Relevance to story (be it theme, plot, or character)
• The character’s POV (there’s an article on that here if you haven’t seen it yet).
• And emotion.

In the last…[Read more]

@consciousdreamer, thank you! I’ll take a look at the sentences and see if I can vary them a bit. What do you struggle with particularly when writing description? Maybe I can help. 🙂

@wishingwell13 @consciousdreamer Thank you both so much! 🙂 I’m definitely going to write this rest of this story someday.

@silverclaw-bonnetfolly No worries! I just wanted to make sure you were kept in the loop. And yup, those very same dragons!

@evelyn Yo, that’s a pretty sweet idea- it makes sense for the political head of a region to be invested in either promoting or outright controlling the manufacturing process, and for people to try and subvert…[Read more]

@consciousdreamer Ah, good idea with the Google Doc.

@coggleton @writercatherine More good ideas! I would imagine that anyone could use a Dragonling, but using Drakes would take formal education and Great Dragons would require years of training, maybe first as an apprentice after learning how to use Drakes. There would probably be very few people…[Read more]

@consciousdreamer @writercatherine @coggleton

I like the idea of the Great Dragons being rarer and creating a quote “elite” group of people – the ones that own/train/work with them – though it’s all just snobbery. 🙂

I’m also thinking. What if in the center of each city there is a ginormous clock tower where the Governor lives. Inside, the g…[Read more]

@consciousdreamer Cool! I’ll try that when I have more time.

@jane-maree @evelyn @cassie-hartfinh @esjohnson @wishingwell13 @j-a-penrose @consciousdreamer @julia Thanks! Hello everyone!

I’ve been reading the articles and working with the Writer’s Rank Advancement Guide for about a month and a half, and part of the forum about a month. I’m glad to be a part of a guild at last! I definitely like the site.

YOUR GUILDMASTER HAS RETURNED! And shall do all of these crazy adjustments that were decided on while I was away. xD Please bare with me as i frantically email and update things today.

Thanks for being nice to my cousin while I was gone. And thanks @Jane-Maree for stepping in for…[Read more]

Welcome to the Parimi team! It’s a pleasure to have you joining.

All Parimis: Yes, we’ve got some MORE guild members, but don’t worry! There’s a couple other developments coming up in a day or two  (because it feels weird for me to make important…[Read more]
