Go, Rillumen, Go! We got this, guys! Tonight’s the deadline, so get in those last few words and submit those word counts!

@pookiemonster Man, those donuts were good!! Thanks!!…[Read more]

I have faith in you. But more importantly, I have motivational doughnuts! ヽ(ᵔᗜᵔ)ﾉ🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩…[Read more]

I’ve spent moke time baking so far this week than writing.¯_(ツ)_/¯     I will definitely try to wring a couple of hundred words out of tonight though. Does anyone have a word goal for this week?…[Read more]

Who else is…[Read more]

Huzzah!!!

Rillumen! I return after a day of silence… and I return with nothing in hand. No word count. Tired. Ready to relax. But part of me really wants to get in at least a small word-count. So first off I’m kinda looking for some encouragement (imagine that… with wordsmith just asked for encouragement😂)… Secondly… I’d…[Read more]

We just passed the 200000 word marker… but let’s look at a few statistics.…[Read more]

And on top of that… five hundred words can take as few as…[Read more]

So today… I wrote a grand total of: 1740 words!

Rachel… how ’bout you? And what about anyone else who accepted my challenge? Did you guys get to push any extra words…[Read more]

What about…[Read more]

Let’s do this! Whether you answer or not, the war starts at 11:15 p.m.…[Read more]

Okay… looking at the spreadsheet, I’m gaining on Quinn (‘m lady) and Miss Brie Donning. Would either of you care to put an end to that? I’m certainly ready to pick up the…[Read more]

Okay Rillumen… we are falling behind… and honestly it may not be your fault, it’s probably not… but I wonder what we can do to pick stuff back up. What’s a war without pain a toil. This isn’t supposed to be easy. But we can do it. Even in sharpening each other as iron, something is shaved away. It’s not a pleasant…[Read more]

We need to be sure to stay on top of this and not procrastinate and think we have the whole month to get around to it! *is so very guilty of this herself*

If we could write (on average) 500 words per day, per person, from now until the end of the month, that would be 190k more words.…[Read more]

Here’s the topic for this month’s word war.

And HERE is a link to a spreadsheet where you can tally your totals if you’re not using NaNo’s website.

Anyways, what are some of your favorite books/series/authors?

The people who say your name is weird… well I guess it’s their loss. At least you get to have a cool name whether they like it or not. Besides, it really is a cool name.

Hi there! I write short stories as well, even though I’m currently outlining a novel sized idea. 😋

There are many people on here (including me) who love brain-storming. So if you ever need help developing a novel sized idea,or expounding on one, you could always start a forum discussion and people would flock with…[Read more]

Hey Torah! (Cool name 😉 )

I’m Lindsey. Welcome to Rillumen!!

I agree about music!! I love it, but hard to say what specifically haha

Hey there! Welcome, welcome.

Glad to have you here in Rillumen.

Oooh short stories. I’m always very impressed with people who can take a story idea and fit it into a short story. Mine always turn into novels. :/

Music! What kind do you like to listen to?

Hello there! Welcome to Rillumen…

I am Wordsmith.

Torah… is that actually your name? Either way it’s cool!

What genres do you enjoy writing in?

I have always been interested in writing books/stories with a Christian theme, and so my friend (@fawxofthecomics) introduced me to Story Embers!!! Short stories are more my thing, so I am looking…[Read more]

When you get a chance today, please submit your final wordcount so that I can turn it over to the giant calculator of things.

Nice work everybody!

We’re gonna be short on words if we don’t all kick it up a notch.  We want to notch our third victory, so here’s a call to arms!

I actually got a few words written today (648, to be exact) and also I’ve written pages and pages and pages of character outlines, but those don’t count.…[Read more]

Let’s do this! *yawns* *goes to…[Read more]

But remember… we get better too. We can show them what happens when a Lumenite…[Read more]

Myself and one other have set a goal to get 10,000 words for this war… and after thinking about it, I’d like to invite you all to join us in that. I’m not saying you have to, I don’t know what your life is like… but the invitation is out there.

I personally have found that setting a goal, even if a…[Read more]

Champion Defender Wordsmith putting in his word count: Acquired today, beginning the race for the week… 1510 words!

Oh! And btw… I heard some peeps from New Wessex talking smack about winning this one… we gonna let that happen? Let’s get on our feet and show ’em the golden river of Rillumen! It flows strong… it flows…[Read more]

So, you know how we don’t ever miscommunicate things.

Yep, cool cool.

(We’re starting a word war today.)

I thought it was going to be next week, but they’re doing it this week so…

TOO ARMS RILLUMEN.

I know a lot of people are doing NaNo prep this week and I’d say don’t sacrifice that.  Set yourself up well for the long run, but…[Read more]

HELLO BRANDON! Rillumen missed you!

I was nodding so much when I read this week’s assignment. I love it. Description is a tool, but it’s so easy to let it just kinda be there. So this is a great reminder. Plus, it’s so fun to strategize the why behind a description. B-)

I really want to do NaNo, but I don’t have any definite…[Read more]

Hi.

Sorry.

HI!

I have been very gone of late.  I’m sorry about that, the last two weeks just happened so fast.  It honestly feels like I posted last here yesterday.  (I did not, jsyk :P)

BUT I’M BACK NOW.

One of the reasons I’ve been gone is that I’ve been stuffing my free moments by reading “A Writer’s Active Guide to Se…[Read more]
