@evelyn Whoops, I guess the link got lost way back there xD Here it is.
I agree that Shakespearean doesn’t really fit the story. By meter do you mean the amount of syllables in each sentence? *knows nothing about poetry* I doubt we could make it work here, but it sounds really cool!
For now we’ll just try to eliminate telling and then see what…[Read more]

Hi Parimis!
As you may have gathered, I’m not exactly well at the moment, hence I haven’t even looked at what you’ve done last week. Sorry about that. D:
As it is, seeing that, a) I’m currently a mess, and b) there’s a guild war going on, that you can just give some feedback on how you reckon the annual theme topic is going.
Have you been…[Read more]

Hello Parimis!
If you hadn’t gathered already, you may well have drawn the short straw with this guild. *grimaces* I’m sick again, and hopefully will be diagnosed later today, but prayers are always appreciated. (with any luck I won’t be hospitalised) But yes, prayers for health are always appreciated as I seem to end up with some weird…[Read more]

@emily-d I think changing all that could actually maybe hurt the story. But if anyone else has better ideas, please suggest! Or, maybe we’re fine with it the way it is. I’m not sure.

Steward of the Pen replied to the topic Guild War 4 in the forum Announcements 8 years ago
@cassie-hartfinh Aweome! Thank’s for getting us started. The ending does seem a bit abrupt. I think there needs to be some other conflict like we talked about earlier. That way we’re giving the character something to do as she struggles with the hope thing. That’s going to be hard to do with the word limit, but I think we can pull it off. I once…[Read more]

@Emily-d Centerforlit rocks!!

@kaladinstormblessed Hello! Yes! XD I saw that you’ve got the writing option: so do I! Very exciting…but I’m also a little nervous. Have you had a lot of experience with thesis papers?
-
@emily-d No, sadly. I’m super nervous, but hopefully it will work out. Frankly though, I’m not even sure what the word ‘thesis’ means. I should probably look that up…
-
-
@kaladinstormblessed A found a definition! thesis means “a statement or theory that is put forward as a premise to be maintained or proved.”
-
How’s The Black Arrow going? Are you enjoying it?
-
-
I’m definitely enjoying it. The dialogue is super fun to read, and with Stevenson also being a poet, the songs are really well written.
How are you liking it? Who’s your favorite character?-
@Emily-d sorry forgot to tag you in the last one. Also, thanks for the definition 🙂
-
@kaladinstormblessed Haha, no problem. Yeah, I’m loving it…we did it for Read Aloud quite awhile ago, so I forgot some of the really good parts 🙂 Hmm…I think Dick’s my favourite. I find Lawless absolutely hilarious, so he’s probably a close second. But Joanna is nice as well. Who’s your favourite(s)? Where are you up to?
-
Oh, and by the way, are you in a guild?
-
-
Probably Joanna. (And seriously, the comment you made about the “mental note” in the lit class is totally what I was doing at that moment).
-
And no. I’ve applied for one though.
-
That’s great…What did I say (oh no, what have I said!)? I can’t remember XD

It was something like “I’m getting the picture of ‘all girls make mental note.’ I know this girl was…
-
oh, okay… yes, it just was cracking me up that the last two discussions had gone into true manhood and all the girls were saying what they thought XD. I was feeling a bit sorry for all you boys. But it was funny.
-
-
Definitely. Have you started Island of the Blue Dolphins yet?
-
@emily-d seriously though if I could pass as a boy like Joanna I would totally do it.
-
@kaladinstormblessed Sorry, wait…aren’t you a boy? Did I get mixed up?
I finished IotBD, I did it on audio. Are you enjoying it?
-
-
@emily-d I am a girl, but I don’t mind that you got mixed up, so don’t feel bad 🙂
Yeah, I love it! It is nice, for a change, to have a female heroine after the books I did last year fo the lit class. But yeah, it’s really good. I can at least understand this one! Literally the entire time during the Black Arrow discussion I was saying to myself,…[Read more]-
@kaladinstormblessed Oh, I’m so sorry! I thought that Brynn was a boy’s name, and then I was like, “Wait, can’t it be a girl’s name too?” But I wasn’t sure. So…that explains why you like all the Austen books. XD XD XD Apologies! Anyway, I think that you’ve got a lovely name, especially for a writer. My name doesn’t sound very writer-y. Pen…[Read more]

Oh, and did you get accepted into a guild yet? I ‘m hoping you get accepted into mine…

@emily-d Don’t worry about that, it’s all right 🙂
Oh my gosh yes!!! I absolutely love music!!!….Why do you ask?
Yeah, I did. Parimi Alca! Yay!
-
@kaladinStormblessed Thanks :l
Ohhhh hat is AWESOME! *does the happy dance* XD Have you checked out the latest story?
I asked because I’m a music fanatic. I play piano and I looooove Christian pop. What do you like? 🙂

I’m not sure about breaking the 4th dimension though, because I know I did that with my first novel and honestly, that ruined it.
I beg to differ. 😉
@emily-d @rebecca-w I like the name Bryka, too. Maybe she should be in her upper-teens?

“Write any story you choose with the most original and creative prose that you can.”
THE TIME HAS COME PARIMIS.
War has been declared among the guild’s of Story Embers, and Parimi Alca is in terrible danger.
The competition will be tough. Avensbeck has won all of the prompt wars so far, and if we aren’t careful, they will dominate again. Also, t…[Read more]

This question was raised as an aside by @consciousdreamer a few days back, and I figured it could be good to spend one of our Monday lessons on it.
All too often, you can be reading a book and then have to put it down and rub your eyes because the writer just had their entire cast described down to every freckle in one chapter. You have all of…[Read more]

Well Parimis, it is time to say goodbye to a few of our members.
Some of our noble friends have decided that they would like to step out, at least temporarily, and I figured I’d let you guys know. Whenever someone is removed, I will put a farewell comment here for them, and so you all know.
