So I hate to say this but lately, I have been doing everything but writing. Life has been crazy and I just have not given effort into setting aside time for writing. I have hardly even been on here as I am sure you all know. Wednesday though was the last day of my college classes (which I got an in both of if just barely in one) and I am finished…[Read more]

hi guys! So today I wrote the post for our weekly discussion. I don’t know if I mentioned it before, but the guild masters have been trying to cover things related to the general life of a writer, so hopefully you guys have been getting some helpful info.

Starting today is a word war!!

I believe it lasts all this week, and I’ll share the link again when it’s time to add your totals.

How and What to Read as Writers:

Okay so, we’re all writers, right? We weave words and spin tales and generally have a good go at reality. For most of us though, our love for stories started on the other side of the experience — as readers. Now that we’re writing, it’s sometimes…[Read more]

@Knaplingers, happy Easter week!

Have you guys read any stories that remind you of Easter? The endings of The Warden and the Wolf King and Ember Rising (and the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, obviously) come to mind for me. Have you written any stories that remind you of Easter? Of course in a way every good story reminds us of the…[Read more]

Today’s topic is, What to Do When You’re Not Writing: Cultivating the eye of an artist by Martin Detwiler.

When we sit down at our desks and take up our pens, ready to mark down the next few hundred words, what is the mindset that has filled up all the space on either side of our writing? That is, do we consider ourselves writers, artists –  illu…[Read more]

Hello, all present! It is I, David.

This thread is for discussing our weekly challenges and conquests as we trek throughout the years and create adventures in our mysterious, awe-inspiring town.

Hey guys. Today we are getting some advice from Faith Blum on how to balance all the business of life, family, and writing.

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 hours, minutes, or seconds to get everything done. What do you do when you can’t seem to squ…[Read more]
