Hello again, Ereki!
Boy, you are all getting a whole bunch of emails from all the tagging I’m doing tonight. XD I promise, there won’t be a whole lot more of them. Tonight. 😛
But anyway, I’m happy to announce that we have two new guildlings with us!
Please welcome @michael_stanton and @caserola! Because this is so close on the heels of our…[Read more]

Martin Detwiler started the topic We've been thinking… in the forum Announcements 6 years, 10 months ago
Hey Ereki!
The guildmasters have been thinking once again.
As you’ve noticed, activity has been pretty low here. Same with the other guilds.
That’s fine if everyone’s busy, but if it’s just because the guilds weren’t attractive enough…
…well, we should do something about that then.
After talking it over with some of the other SE staff, we h…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren *nods* Good, I’m glad. 🙂
@catwing That’s awesome! Are you making a costume for Realm Makers, then? Hope you had fun with the contest!
@sageinthemeadow That’s great! 🙂 My goals have been… pretty good, I think. I did run every day (I’m trying to run at least 2,000 miles this year), and I did a considerable amount of reading…[Read more]

Prompt War time! This month’s prompt is fairly straightforward: Write a mystery. The deadline is July 28th, and the word limit is 2500 words.

Hey Ereki!
Here’s my discussion piece which I promised I would post here midweek. Enjoy! Let me know your thoughts!

Gathering Inspiration from Others
At different points in our writing journey, we find ourselves more or less empty of ideas. This can happen in between projects, or in the middle of a project. I’m not talking about w…[Read more]

Hey all! This is the question/discussion piece that @princess-foo submitted a few days ago. My internet connection has been less than helpful in allowing me to post a response so far. Here’s to hoping this one works. I’m definitely copy/pasting before hitting enter this time!

Martin Detwiler started the topic Week 17: Writing Life; How to Deal With Procrastination (Faith Blum) in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 6 years, 10 months ago
Hello Ereki!
Apologies for the lack of posting last week. I was camping (with some local Story Embers peeps!). But here I am again, and I’ve decided that we’ll host a double-feature discussion this week. I’ll post last week’s discussion now, and this week’s discussion on Wednesday. That way we get a chance to talk about both, and we’ll be up to…[Read more]

@sageinthemeadow That’s good! Don’t want you suffocating. XD Glad you were able to get some done, though! My goals went pretty well, though I wasn’t able to read or write outside much as it’s been too rainy lately. Thanks for asking. 🙂

Hey guys! Hope this has been a beautiful first day of July for you all. 🙂 Funny, Colorado (my home state) has only just seemed to get the idea that it’s supposed to be summer– it snowed nearly till June! Hope things have been sunnier where you live. 😛
How did your goals go last week? Good? Bad? Did you do anything exciting?

@catwing Hmm… No, you’re right, I’m sure I could improve it somehow… It has gotten a bit boring lately. I’ll try thinking up some ideas over these next couple weeks, but let me know if you come up with any suggestions!

Princess Foo replied to the topic Prompt War: Beauty in the Ordinary in the forum Announcements 6 years, 11 months ago
So, in the interest of A Decision Needs To Be Made, I am going to say that since @seekjustice is our writer, and she already has a plan, we are going to go with her idea.
@the-inkspiller I appreciate the work you put into your outline, but I think it will be easier for seekjustice to write her story idea rather than to write someone else’s story…[Read more]

Write a story where you bring out the beauty of something ordinary in the middle of a very dramatic setting.
So… we need to decide our setting and premise. Today, if possible, so @seekjustice can start writing tomorrow. Seekjustice, you said you had an idea you wanted to flesh out. Is that ready? @filewriter also came up with some good…[Read more]
