@corkybookworm I haven’t tried the writing-in-a-notebook thing, no, mostly because I like to be able to see my overall WIP as I add to it so that it feels more streamlined. But maybe I should start carrying a notebook with me and just see what happens… x)

Hey guys!
Have you ever struggled with trying to find time to write? Yeah, me too. Thankfully, Faith Blum has some pointers to help us get the most out of every second of our day (without killing ourselves doing it).
24 hours. 1,440 minutes. 86,400 seconds. That’s how much time we have each day. And yet, it seems like we never have enough h…[Read more]

Alright, so I’m a bit behind the ball on this one (so sorry, guys!). I’ve got two completely different versions going right now, neither of which are currently finished all the way, and neither of which do I feel are fantastic. BUT I’m going to go ahead and post the one I feel most confident about so that y’all can get reading and commenting. I…[Read more]

Deep in the corner, a figure shuffles through the settled blackness. Dust kicks up under his feet and he starts *cough* to *hack* cough. Oh hey, said “dark figure” is me and said dark room is this little place where we come to learn.
I apologize.
BUT, I also have good news, the Guildmasters have been working together and have decided to share…[Read more]

No, we’re not going on a competitive evangelism spree.
What we are doing, is trying to write the most believable conversion scene. It’s due two weeks from today, March 25th. So let’s get right on it.
Here’s what we need to do:
– Everyone head over to this doc to brainstorm ideas. Answer these two questions: 1) what elements make up a good…[Read more] -

So yeah, WORD WAR.

@corkybookworm Oh, awesome! Have you read Shea’s Red Rope of Fate yet? The ebook is currently free on Amazon! 😀
The characters didn’t learn their lessons and so the ending was extremely dissatisfying, though I’m not sure I would call it cliche…Hmm…
I definitely think there can be a difference between cliche endings and dissatisfying endings.…[Read more]

Hey Guys!
Let’s talk about story endings.
(Full disclosure, there’s actually a guild war going on about endings rn, but I missed the announcement to the guildmasters and I don’t want to rush everyone to come up with something in a week, so we’re going to sit this one out and just do some brainstorming.)
So… let’s talk about happy endings,…[Read more]

Sweet, @corkybookworm, thanks for looking this over. I haven’t gotten back to edit it yet so this is very helpful. You were right about Sally’s job and you described her problem with the missing form really well, so that’s good.
Sorry about the indents, they got lost in transfer from Scirvener to google docs… oops.

Estimated 16,000 words for this month. 😀 That leaves me with about 8,000 ish words to finish ‘er off. (with the more complicated ending and all that jazz)
I’m thinking I can get this first draft wrapped up by the end of the week 😀 which is a LOT closer to my original goal than the second one I set. Yay! Thanks…[Read more]
