I have finished! Tear it apart! 😛

I’m a bit worried the ending is meh.…[Read more]

Hey, Ereki! 😀 How did your goals for last week go? What are your new goals?

Mine are (is):

– finish tweaking my outline, or at least get halfway done with it before Thursday

@devastate-lasting I’ll work on giving him a more childish side. Good point!

Thanks! First-person, present is my favorite way to write!

I started writing! What do you think so…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting that could work, though we’d want to make sure the judge of the guild wars doesn’t think they’re typos. 😉

It seems like we’ve had some good ideas coming…like the child being unusual, a little boy, and having the scene have something to do with life and death. Any further ideas? And it sounds like @allison-grace is going to…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting ooh, characters who second-guess themselves are awesome to work with! That seems like a good flaw for Kindle’s story. 😀

@sageinthemeadow sounds like your character is rather traumatized…which is good 😉

@devastate-lasting you totally should! I’d recommend Realm Makers conference 10/10. There’s a nerf war on the last night, so 😉

@devastate-lasting usually very crowded, but a majority of the people there are introverts 😉 The classes are super fun and everyone is always interested in your book, but it’s an environment where you can talk about your book without feeling awkward. It’s also neat to interact with professionals in the publishing industry, meet authors, and get…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting that will be a good help 🙂 Do you remember what made the character’s voice so engaging?

@karthmin I like those ideas! Especially about the character being unusual/gifted. Though there might be a way to give the child above average intelligence so long as he/she still views the world the way a five-year-old would (and I can’t…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Glad you like the intro… and the beard, haha! Yes, that picture is really me.

@devastate-lasting yeah…a note for everyone, I apologize for all those emails this afternoon. The topic kept on vanishing for some reason and I had to recreate it about a dozen times. 😛

Happy Monday, Ereki 😀 Did you complete your goals for last week? What are your new ones? Mine are:

– Polish my short story

– Tweak my novel’s outline so I can begin edits

– Maybe write an article

@sarah-narnathron I think the idea of the two conflicting needs is that the character will need to choose one over the other in order to grow and complete his character arc. Have you heard of the Thing the character Wants vs the Thing the character Needs? I think K.M. Weiland was referring to those as Need #1 and Need #2 in this post. But beyond…[Read more]

Good afternoon, everyone! Today we have two new Ereki joining us, so please give a warm welcome to @the-inkspiller and @karthmin . I’m super excited to have you guys in the guild 😀 Feel free to ask questions and jump in to any topic. I already tagged you on the welcome post 😉

@sarah-narnathron that’s the beauty (and terrible thing) about novels: sometimes you’ll never know exactly how things will turn out until you’ve written them 😛

@devastate-lasting ah, I see 🙂

@allison-grace it might be good to check and see that there are some (when you go back to revise, as I know you just finished). It’s one thing to have a…[Read more]
