How are your goals going? Need any encouragement…or motivational pizza? (idea borrowed from Jane Maree 😉 )

P.S. I’ll get to…[Read more]

So, I have been following all the replies here, though I’ve not had much time to get on and actually say anything. 😛

@princess-foo Yessssss, Brandon Sanderson. I loved that book and am on the next one.

I guess I would say it becomes a steampunk when the technology is steam powered, or it is set in the historical time period, and futuristic when…

Hi!

Here’s a snippet from a scene I wrote today –

My breath clouds the air in front of me.  It’s cold outside but I made a promise.

Never miss a sunset.

I disperse the clouds, exchange them for new ones with another breath.

The sun is burning everything it touches a gold that cannot be replicated no matter how many photos I take.  It is n…[Read more]

I just received the results of the guild war *drumroll*

The Meraki guild won and Parimi Alca is the honorable mention!

So no, we didn’t win, but GREAT JOB to everyone who helped with the prompt! You guys did an excellent job putting our submission together and editing it with such great teamnwork and creativity. While there are…[Read more]

@hope-ann Yes! The good stuff. I’ve got a trilogy that currently starts towards the more medieval-like time(I mean, it is fantasy after all. And I can’t bear to part with my rangers and horses and swords.) but the story itself starts waaaaaayyy back in the beginning of the ages.(Yes, allegory, I know. When doesn’t allegory start at the beginning…[Read more]

Alrighty, another Monday is here. What are your goals? And if you have any suggestions for fun intros I can use, feel free to give those as well 😉

@devastate-lasting Yasss! “Good” villains are awesome. I love my little anti-heroes, okay? I just do. Who cares if they’re misguided and stubborn and the son of some evil warlord…. I still love them. XD But yeah… I think my main character is the epitome of ‘far from perfect’. I mean, he’s no ordinary teen MC with angst and anger issues….…[Read more]

Just as a quick heads up for everyone, the submission is due tomorrow, so if you haven’t had time to contribute edits (if…[Read more]

@catwing @emgc @karthmin @kelly-lundgren @sageinthemeadow @morreafirebird @devastate-lasting @princess-foo @everyone else

Can you try the links in the document again, to see if they work? For some reason it works when I try it, so I don’t know what happened.

@devastate-lasting Ah the curse of slow internet while editing…. I feel you. XD

I get the whole boredom with high fantasy–I get really tired of it to. But there are some books that I just love buried in the pile of hopeless rejects. XD That’s one reason why I try to switch up my high fantasy WIPs… I’m a big fan of writing stories about…[Read more]

@sageinthemeadow @enu @karthmin @princess-foo @emgc @catwing @kelly-lundgren @enu awesome! I’ll look over it later today 😀

@everyone else @Sarah-Inkdragon @Devastate-Lasting @ajaj2000 @The-Inkspiller @Filewriter @Allison-Grace @emma @Sarah-Narnathron @WarrenLuther04 @lydia-writes

Feel free to come join in for the editing process here! This is a…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting That is a truly hilarious story. The way you said it, originally, was simply priceless. XD So matter-of-fact.

I agree with your dislike of high fantasy, but the reasons why you dislike it are the same reasons why I want to write high fantasy – because when it’s done well, it is fantastic. And it totally can be done well… pe…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting It was a pleasure to read! I love reading the work of people who have a simple, clear style. It’s quite refreshing.

Oh! I feel like I need to go back and read the story over again, now that I know who the woman is! That makes a whole lot more sense, now. 😀

@devastate-lasting Thank you for the feedback!

Most of my world-building happens while I write, and this was the first thing that I had written for this world, so I actually hadn’t done very much world-building when I wrote this! It all just kinda grew from one seed of an idea. But I have done a lot since then. 🙂 And it’s definitely a lot bigger…[Read more]

How are you goals going? Need any cookies/encouragement? 😉

@devastate-lasting Wait… a guy duct taped to a tree… I need to hear this story. And why don’t you like high fantasy? Just the cliche-ness of modern stuff, or something else…

@devastate-lasting, I will try to get to this as soon as I have a chance. Wow, those are a lot of things. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to help you with all of those, but I’ll try my best. Thanks!

@Sageinthemeadow @ENU @Karthmin @princess-foo @emgc @catwing @kelly-lundgren @ENU

Keep up the good work! I’m very excited to read the draft when it’s finished, and I think we have a very good chance of beating Avensbeck and the other guilds 😉

@Devastate-Lasting your last comment in the brainstorm document was a great idea XD
