ProfessorSJB started the topic NaNoWriMo in the forum Accountability & Achievements 8 years ago

So hi all!

I know that it’s kind of last minute, but I am ~~thinking~~ of going to do NaNoWriMo this year… I was wondering if there were any veterans among you who could enlighten me or grace me with your wisdom. Since this is my first year, and also since I have next to zero time, I know it will be a great challenge, but I still want to try. I…[Read more]
Jane Maree started the topic {Story Theory – Week 4} From Theme to Character Arc! in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years ago

Unique and realistic characters are something we all strive to write. No one wants to hear that the readers can’t connect or care for the characters we worked so hard on and spent so much time with. So we try to make them unique. We give them quirks and personality and struggles and fears and dreams and—

@silverdragon @evelyn @kb-writer

Thank you for starting a discussion on this. I’ve wanted to know for a long time the answers to the questions you asked, and I’m excited to learn about other people.

I write poetry often for the same reasons Katherine does. A lot of the times I process through writing poetry–thoughts, feelings, em…[Read more]
Selah Chelyah replied to the topic Which Guild is the Best? in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years ago

@ashira You are right on! Everyone, (all you Parimi Alca-ers, ) see how someone who is not in the guild knows it is the best already?

We write in the real world, too… not just fantastical. All genres welcomed, all creative ideas included. Jane Maree heads us, and she is a greatest guildmaster of all. EVER!!! She is amazing, supportive, t…[Read more]

Serenity replied to the topic My characters don't listen to me in the forum Characters 8 years ago

Well, I have a couple ideas, and a couple questions, for that… seeing as im only 16 myself, they might not be useful, but I’ll give it a shot.

So, do you plan your story and characters first and then start writing, or do you write and learn who the character is as you go?

If the former more fits you, I might think about how they relate to…[Read more]
Jane Maree started the topic Guild Pages! in the forum Announcements 8 years ago

So, a lot of you have probably already seen this, but oh well, let me announce it anyway. 😂

We’ve now got the guild pages up and running! *confetti*

Another little detail: you may notice that the list of Meraki guild members (aka you) is slightly different than what you put in the document. This is simply because I couldn’t have peoples’…[Read more]

Jane Maree started the topic {Story Theory – Week 3} Theme in Action: what your character believes in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years ago

So far in our theme series, we’ve covered What Theme Actually Is, how to Narrow Down Your Theme into a focusing question, but how do any of these actually work in the story itself?

It’s all well and good to have a handy little focusing question and a bunch of answers, but how do we actively apply these to a story?

Here’s where we get to one of m…[Read more]

OKAY MEERKATS. Apparently there’s going to be a little ‘about’ page for each Guild and Josiah wants the content for them this week, and that content is meant to be our history and legends, etc. So…I guess we should continue brainstorming. XD

So we’ve got the idea of ranks/titles, and also maybe we’ll need some history (and background on why…[Read more]

@dakota
You did a wonderful job with this song! The one suggestion I have is to maybe change light to embers in the line “Splashing light everywhere” to add some assonance and help it flow a little more smoothly.
I’d love to hear this put to music! (I was singing along as I read but am not sure I got the tune right. 🙂 )
