It seems like literal aeons ago, but once upon an Annual Theme of Pacing and Suspense, we looked creating a sense of suspense and atmosphere through objects in writing. And then more recently, we had a post from Martin about The Artist’s Eye, and to seek the beautiful in the ordinary everyday.

For the next two weeks, that’s exactly what we’…[Read more]

Final post until we’re caught up! *cheers*

So, this one is written by Jane, with the input of Faith and Daeus who are two of Story Embers’ self-published writers, unlike Jane who is very much neck deep in working through the traditional publishing world.

So you know from the start, both have their benefits and disadvantages. Particularly…[Read more]

Hello all!

This week’s (or more, last week’s) lesson is from Martin, and is looking at the pros and cons of typing, and writing by hand. 

So, without any further rambling from Jess, let’s see what Martin has to say about notebooks and keyboards!

Things I’ve learned from my own experience with both mediums:

Typing:

Pros:

Typing is fas…[Read more]

Hey guys!

If you hadn’t noticed, we’re three weeks behind! *hides face in shame* However, I’m just going to catch it all up tonight so that we’re back on track!

This particular post was written by yours truly on why we should even write in the first place.

If you’re reading this, the chances are pretty high that you’re a writer. But how oft…[Read more]

Hello all, and welcome to the month before July, or more specifically, the month before a lot of writers go completely mental and write a heap. 😉

If you are new to the vast quantity of writing forums out there, April and July are Camp NaNo seasons. Camp NaNo is an online writing “camp” where you and up to 19 fellow writers band together to try…[Read more]

Guys, guess what??

Parimi Alca is ONE YEAR OLD! *flails* It was announced to the world on May 28th, and Steward reminded me of this the other day. Unfortunately, I then totally ran out of time to actually say anything. 😛 But I just wanted you all to know this exciting fact, and get excited with me. 😀

So yay,…[Read more]

Does Jess deserve an award for being super forgetful??? YEP. *nervous laughter* Thank you, Catherine, for reminding me of this. XD

We have a word war happening, people!

This one is going from Monday to Sunday. If you’ve already written words from Monday to today, count them as well. *facepalm* Still can’t believe I forgot this.

Here is the…[Read more]

As an introvert who lives in the middle of nowhere and is known for muttering, “humans” under her breath whenever she’s around other people, I have to say that I often find it hard to actually hang out with people…Even the writerly sort. I mean, what if they’re extroverts? What if there’s more than two of them?

Thankfully, Faith is here today…[Read more]

Hello Parimis! 

While I’m here, I just wanted to thank you all for being so good with being active and commenting and helping each other out with things. I’m quite often not replying to things, and it’s just great to see you all doing it instead! <3

Moving on. Today’s lesson comes from my awesome cousin, Jane, who does a lot with editing,…[Read more]

Hello all!

If you haven’t seen our guild home page, you definitely should check it out. And I know that the running list of current members is completely wrong, but I plan to get Daeus onto that soon. (Or get his permission to let me fix it.)

However, what I want to draw your attention to, is that I’ve talked about ‘biomes.’ Back in our ‘[Read more]

At the request of @ariella-newheart, Parimi Alca now has a Writers’ Corner! *cheers*Basically, this is just where you say that you are writing, and others who are around can all write with you and hold you accountable on a smaller scale.

I mean, how often do we sit down to write and find ourselves scrolling through Pinterest boards of different…[Read more]
