Hmm. Some good advice, @dragongeek. Thank you. I will certainly try to do as you’ve suggested.

Serenity replied to the topic My characters don't listen to me in the forum Characters 7 years, 5 months 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]

Avensers Assemble!
Story Embers has a new page. It’s called the Guilds page and it has the Guild Logos and who has won each of the wars. If you click on the logo, you will see a little bio of each of the guilds. You can find it here: https://storyembers.org/guilds/.

Avensers assemble!
It’s time for a word war. If you’re new to this event, a word war is where you will keep track of all of your fiction writing and next Tuesday evening, you will report your word counts. Then I will gather all of those counts and report our total and see how we stacked up against the rest of the guilds.
What counts toward the…[Read more]

Mine are to finish the General and Outlining sections of my outline and send out my blog tour info.

Faith Blum started the topic Topic #20: Story Structure, the Hook in the forum 7 years, 6 months ago
Good morning, Avensers! (Side note: every time I see that word, I want to say “Avengers Assemble!” or something like that)
Today, I am going to start a series on story structure. Because that’s what I’m learning a lot about right now. All of this information is coming from my notes from reading Structuring Your Novel by K.M. Weiland.

Faith Blum replied to the topic Hi! in the forum Announcements 7 years, 6 months ago
@jenwriter17 Thanks for the warm welcome! I have published a few books. I actually counted it up recently because I’m releasing my next book on my birthday and counting my anthologies (with other authors) and box sets, as of October 26th, I will have published 28 books! (All Indie) And that’s happening on my 28th birthday, so we’re doing something…[Read more]

Hey Avensers!
Since this is the last theme topic I’m posting before stepping down as Guildmaster, I thought I’d share something that I think is important to every writer’s journey.
Sometimes it seems like we’ll never accomplish our dreams as writers. It feels like that draft will never be finished, we’ll never fix our biggest writing mistake,…[Read more]

I come bearing rather sad news. This is my last week as your guildmaster. 🙁

Here is the finished story, where anyone can edit. It is honestly terrible but maybe y’all can do something with it. xDD I was also thinking we could write interview excerpts from where he interviewed other people potentially at the end of the story? But I’m not sure. Anyway, I could only fit the little boy with the word count available. Maybe I…[Read more]

My goodness. It’s been forever since I’ve started one of these. Sorry ’bout that. *looks sheepish*
This week’s discussion is on symbolism because I’ve run out of ideas for our theme 😂.
Symbolism can be a rather vague, mysterious topic, so I thought I’d share an article I wrote on that covers the subject. Here’s the link:…[Read more]
