Hey guys! I’m filling in for Brandon today.
Prompt war!
Your goal is to write a story where you bring out the beauty of something ordinary in the middle of a very dramatic setting.
Have fun and see if you can beat the mighty Saxon Scribes.…[Read more]

Greetings Saxon Scribes,
I’m really excited about this new prompt war because I think it’ll be a great learning experience and result in some wonderful submissions.
Our goal is to write a story where we bring out the beauty of something ordinary in the middle of a very dramatic setting.
Unfortunately, I’ll be out of state during much of this,…[Read more]

^^ That’s a good starting point.
To get technical, it really depends on your sci-fi culture. If it’s futuristic America, just make up stuff that sounds cool and fairly normal. Futuristic Chinese? Make up something that sounds cool and Chinese. Now if it’s alien, you can do a pretty good fake by…[Read more]

@germaine-han Trad-publishing is a great option! Especially for your first book. You don’t have to pay for any of the book production, it reduces some of the risk of publishing a bad book, and, depending on the situation, may help you sell more books.
For a first book, I’m kinda divided over whether self-publishing or trad-publishing is better,…[Read more]

Hey guys! What’s up?
This week, Jane, Faith, and I (Jane was the main one) worked on putting together a brief overview of the differences between traditional and self-publishing. I know a lot of you are curious about it, so check it out. 😀

@taylorclogston Never really explored D&D or anime, so no idea if this would be my thing, but I’m willing to read a little bit and see if it appeals to me. If it does, I’ll leave a review.

I’ve never thought about it this way, but I couldn’t agree more.
By the way, what’s this book? “exploring the world of dreams within dreams to pull off an unusual heist” Is it any good?

@r-m-archer Hey, that’s no small feat.
This month was my very first time working with a hired editor! It’s been awesome.
Congratulations! That you got an edit and are excited is always a good sign. Keep up that hearty spirit.
I desperately want it out
That’s always good. 🙂 Hopefully it’s fun too.

For myself, writing’s flowing nice and smooth though marketing feels kinda overwhelming at the moment. 😛 I’m very bipolar about marketing, haha.
And I’m writing COOL scenes and coming up with NEW story ideas, becuase who doesn’t need more story ideas, am I right?

Hey guys, we haven’t just checked in on each other in a while.
So how are you doing? What’s motivating you to write these days and what’s keeping you back?

Daeus Lamb replied to the topic 1st place, 2nd person in the forum Announcements 3 weeks, 6 days ago
*reads them* Wow!
That first one — I loved how heroic I felt for being described as the hero. I can see how this could actually be a really effective thematic technique for sensitive topics. By being the hero, it put the pain and suffering into stark perspective, it made the moral of the story more like a battle cry than a lesson. Maybe, in…[Read more]

Writing outside has been a wonderful experience for me, and I wanted to sell you on the idea. 🙂

Why to write outside
I’m writing this post outside. The sun is shining, and some trees provide shade. The stream is full and bubbling and a wind stirs the leaves.

@myclipboardismyviolin By the way, I personally never worry about the world hating Christian fiction. There are even examples of explicitly Christian stories doing phenomenally in the secular market such as Cry, The Beloved Country, Ben-Hur, and Chariots of Fire.
As Brandon Miller said in one of the first podcast episodes: “good stories get…[Read more]
