Thanks a bunch!

I just wanted to let some of y’all (Texas slang for “you guys and gals”) that Kaytlin Philips has a pretty good monitored Forum type blog site at:
https://www.writers-vision.com/

…if any of you want to try signing up there (yes, it’s free too).

They have writing games and contests, challenges, and writing topics too.

Spread the…[Read more]

I’d love to join, but unfortunately, I’ve got to wait until I’m eighteen . . . See y’all in a couple months🙃!

I’ll join!!! I finally have time for such things and Niarok and Yila want out of my brain XD

Hi, Abrielle!

I am Inkhorn (as my username and tag both state xP), and it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance though it is through the Internet.

I’m not sure how many people are still active since SE has been pretty dead lately, but since summer has started, it might kick up again.

I’ll tag some of the others from the…[Read more]

Is anyone up for more character castle shenanigans?

What’s your WIP about?  Do you have any favorite books?  What are some of your favorite crafts?
That’s really cool that you’re learning to knit!  I never learned to knit, but it does seem fun (and practical.)

I think that SE is…unfortunately rather inactive at the moment.  I think that…[Read more]

Thanks a LOT for all of the advice! I’m going to save it and go mess around with my outline/ideas 🙂

I can send you mine🙂
team lion heart five at proton mail dot com

i’d love to join your email thread too if that suits 🙂

Our pleasure. Yes, calidris created it, and if anyone would like to join it, go ahead and send me a friend request and I’ll hook you up! See y’all there!

I like Discord, but I’m equally at home with email or collaborating over google docs

Maybe, but my brain likes to write everything in order–no filling things in after I write the bare bones. But perhaps I will try it.

@hannahrenner

A sound set of steps!

Third (if I’m smart) I get someone to read it.

This is probably the most valuable thing we can all do. I shall get around to it someday. x…[Read more]

@calidris

Feel free to add me if that’s what we decide on:

Discord for me. 🙂

If you are interested in writing, art, or travel, please consider subscribing 🙂 The email goes out on the 22nd of every month, starting this November.

If your subscription confirmation email doesn’t show up, just check the s…[Read more]

Alrighty, let me know what y’all decide. Discord would work great for something like this, so that option would earn my vote.

I might be up for this. I’ve been having a difficult time making steady progress in my book. However, I must forewarn you, Emily, I am downright awful at sprints. But I’ll do my best. 🙃

Was there a consensus on how we schedule times? I can’t make any promises, but I would try to partake in one or two.

@emily-waldorf

Agreed. I do prefer discord over regular text messaging, because (1) you can do large groups without using extra data, (2) you can have a dedicated server with separate rooms in it, (3) like you said, you can do mass voice/ video calls (and if you’re not comfortable with video, that’s ok, you can turn your cam…[Read more]

I have discord too so that works for me :))

Hmmm…

Lord knows that I need to get better and just write more, so…I’m in! May I suggest Discord for the platform we use?

yesss same! This is going to be such good fun!

@emily-waldorf

ummm – COUNT ME IN!😄

Seriously though this is a great idea. I’ve never done something like this before, but I’ve always wanted to be in a smaller writing group cause it would be so beneficial to my own writing process. So I’d love to! Thanks again for the tag!!🥰

Ooh, yes! I would love to do this!

Random but today was my 18th birthday!

Congratulations!! I hope you had an awesome day!! Also, this is hilarious to me, it’s my eighteenth birthday tomorrow, you’re exactly one day older than I am XD

Also @emily-waldorf

I LOVED that Tullian entry with Frey! It’s so fascinating that Tullian can feel what Frey does, I can’t wait to…[Read more]

Thanks, and it is definitely rough! I’m going to go do the same 🙂

Val:

“Is that your boyf–b-brother?”

I glance up to see a short man beside me, staring inquisitively.  Immediately, I drop Calix’s hand, face burning.  To think that I’d been casually holding hands with a stranger this whole time….

I glance over at Calix, nervously searching his face.  He glares past me, eyes fix…[Read more]

🤦‍♀️ I only just now saw this XD. Yes, that was me 😂 …and I do write poetry.

Here is the result of my brainstorm:

Characteristic moment, core emotional longing

Jade longing to become a ballerina and protect her family/friends. Probably only Rosemary, maybe Tray, are her worries at this point. She is thinking of this as she practices dance at home.

Inciting incident, brokenness

Haven enters EoP,…[Read more]

Ravens are one of my favorite birds!

I’ll still stay in the thread though – maybe once I start nailing the plot down, I’ll have something to tell you guys XD

Thank you so much! This is so helpful! Jade being inactive is part of what’s been driving me crazy with this story. And yes, Jade thought Mara was a friend, and so did everyone else. Sorry I failed to mention this.

As for who Isaias is…that’s complicated. He’s a friend of all theirs, who generally spreads insight or chaos whereve…[Read more]

HIIII WELCOME BACK!! Oh no!! I hope your ankle feels better quickly!

@everyone

Whew sorry about the long absence y’all I had an absolute chaos of a weekend, in a good way XD

I’ll try to write Frey later or tomorrow! Also, I’ve been SORELY tempted to bring in Malcolm, for those of you who remember him being mentioned. He’s just…[Read more]

That is backstory, yes. And Jade is the main (protagonist) character. Mara is the antagonist.

That sounds great! Thank you so much for your offer of help!

Hello and welcome back! I’m sorry to hear about your ankle! I hope it heals quickly.

@e-n-leonard

😂 he could… @lady-grace said she could drop in her Princess Julia to do it XD she’s such a thundercloud she’d probably want to. Julia can turn into a big black horse, so she can just send Saevus flying with a good kick.

Ah yes, ‘l…[Read more]
