@corissa No, sorry.

Hey guys! Sorry, I’ve been traveling and pretty much without internet. This is a perfectly fine place to place your word counts. I’ll be calculating the winner as soon as I’m able.

OKAY, folks. Apparently, I have the esteemed position of Featured Guild Member. And not only that — I’m also the first featured guild member, so I can’t piggy-back of off previous examples because there are no previous examples. Which means I have to trailblaze this thing, WHICH MEANS…

This is the long-winded way of saying, “I have no idea…[Read more]

“Uhhh, well it’s nothing really amazing…I just liked the name and so I gave it to him.”

My two cents:

I think innocence and simplicity (like @corissa said) are important in order to keep the charm. But that balanced with continuity.

Continuity: my favorite subject in writing. Everything leads back to it. (evil grin emoji goes here. not even sure why XD)

As I was saying…

The theme (like @msqueen8 was talking about)…[Read more]

(First of all I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to respond to this.)

@r-m-archer, “I’m doing pretty well. Been a little busy lately. How about you?”

@corissa, “Oh, thank you so much! That’s so encouraging to hear. Yeah, I’m working on perseverance. It definitely doesn’t come easily, but I’ll keep pushing forward. Have you published anything?”

SO. Da info-dump stuff. Or ‘How to Portray Worldbuilding’. Someone brought up the concept of plotting in a somewhat ignorant character. That’s a very handy tool, but what I really like about it is what it says about the nature of communication.

Imagine you’re standing in front of a roomful of bored, depressed high-school students who are slouchi…[Read more]

@corissa — I blink. “That is… very profound.” Her words echo through my mind. As long as you keep at it, you’re already almost there…… Wow.

(sorry, @chalice)

Thanks, @bama-rose @literatureforthelight @daeus-lamb @msqueen8 @j-parkhurst @ethryndal @corissa !

@corissa That’s the idea that had been eluding me.

Thank you all again. I will try to come up with a name now. 🙂

I’ll let you know what I come up with.

Well guys, I really appreciate all this feedback. It looks like the three main topics everyone wants to hear about are theme, plot, and worldbuilding but worldbuilding got the most votes by a small margin. I’m thinking that’s what we’ll go with.

For those of you who write historical fiction, don’t worry! Yes, I’ll probably cover some aspects of…[Read more]

Anther girl turns to greet me. I can picture the quill down the back of her wooden chair, but I’m a little unsure what the name read. “Hey… Archer?” I offer a smile, hoping I got it right.

“I haven’t published anything either.” I tell Bama, offering a shrug. “Maybe someday. I’ve finished my first draft for a couple stories, but some of them are…[Read more]

“Uhhh, well…it’s been about three years, I guess. I found him one day when I was shopping at the grocery store. My mom was, as usual, taking forever to buy her groceries and so I wandered off in my boredom, going nowhere in particular, just hoping to distract myself for a little while. Not surprisingly, I soon found myself standing in the candy…[Read more]

With a smile, I offer my hand to the only girl in the group I don’t recognize.

“Hi, I’m Eden. It’s so nice to meet you!” I hold up Ferdinand for her to see. “This is my hedgehog. He’s really nice…and if he starts shooting his quills at you, just give him some chocolate.”

@corissa

@eden-anderson @corissa @r-m-archer @bama-rose @chalice

I smile.
“Welcome back Eden. Well to answer your question, what do people want to talk about? What we girls want to talk about?”
