Steward of the Pen started the topic Anyone else doing Theme Mastery? in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 7 years, 5 months ago
Hey Parimis!
So, I made the last minute decision to sign up for Theme Mastery the night enrollment closed, and so far it has been AMAZING! I was wondering if any of you enrolled too, and if so, how would you like to start a discussion thread about it? I thought it might be fun and helpful to discuss things as we go along and share how we’re…[Read more]

Hi all!!
I’m not sure if you’ve seen this…
BUT WE WERE GIVEN AN HONORABLE MENTION IN THIS WAR!!!
See https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cELNYNDhdM5o1DcXvFwxkTE29p7MnZtcRzRobNuExzY/edit#
I found that Daeus’s feedback was super helpful – so please read it! 🙂
Anyway, thanks especially to ESJohnson (for doing most of the writing) and Darth…[Read more]

You are busy! It is true, though, being homeschooled gives me lots of free time, probably more than I would have if I was in school. When you have time, you really should learn to play the piano! It is so pretty and a great foundation for other instruments. Yes, I do sound like your cousin, even though I intensely dislike…[Read more]

We have been going for twenty-eight weeks now. Can I just say, that is insane. I honestly wasn’t expecting the guilds to take off like they did, but now, I’m definitely sold to it.
But anyways. I just wanted to tell you that there will be no more lessons from me until 2019. (I know. Huge break.) We’ll be looking at characters, and I think th…[Read more]

Livi Ryddle posted an update 7 years, 6 months ago
So I’ve been working on a story recently, and I was wondering what you guys think of this part…
Cornelius had been walking for a while now and thirst threatened to get the best of him. He stooped beside the stream and cupped some water into his hands to drink.
Dang. This water tastes weird. Not bad, but weird.
Smacking his lips, he started…[Read more]

Ooh, intriguing! 🙂
Does it seem more female or male? Hmm… It feels like it could go either way… it doesn’t feel like one or the other yet, reading through.
Once you pick one gender though, you probably will want to add a quick description in this clip to signify that. -
Oh ho, this seems good *rubs hands together in anticipation*
My mind automatically thought the sprite was male. I could visualize it being all dramatic: ‘Who DARES to summon /The Great Water Sprite/!?’ etc., etc.
And I agree with @evelyn. Once you decide, some description would be helpful 🙂 -
I don’t think it necessarily seems more male or female. Make it a dude though, I feel like all the sprites I read of in stories are girls =P
-
@evelyn True.
@obrian-of-the-surface-world Maybe I should paste in the rest of the story. (Below) Me and my friends took turns adding a sentence or two to the starting sentence to write the first couple pages, down to where he knocks himself out, and then I write the rest. It’s kinda a mess right now, and I’m still working on editing it, but maybe…[Read more]-
I’m sorry, lol. I didn’t realize I made so many typing errors!
” he knocks himself out, and then I WROTE the rest.”
“The wad OF money appeared in…”
I think that’s all the ones, lol. I’m not usually this messy!
-
Wow. That is hard to determine where any cues might come from because it shifts too many story threads into random directions. Not sure still if I can get a gender decision on the brief part where the Water Sprite shows up. Do you have a backstory in mind for the Water Sprite? That might give you a better idea of which traits might lend…[Read more]

-
@anne_the_noob14 No problem! 🙂
By the way, next time it might be easier to start a thread in the Parimi Alca writing discussion section… it’s easier to read and respond to long messages that way. 🙂-
@evelyn Ah, you’re right! Lol I didn’t think of that soon enough 😀
@obrian-of-the-surface-world Right. I haven’t yet thought up a backstory for the Sprite yet. And yes! It does help 🙂 Thanks!
-
-
@anne_the_noob14 I think that this seemed more like a girl. If you want it to be more masculine, though, maybe mention a deep/male voice or something? (I’m sorry it’s taken me forever to see this 😛 I got super behind on emails!)
-
*thumbs up* It’s ok, lol. Holidays are always busy for everybody 😛

@esjohnson @steward-of-the-pen
Just a quick update from me: I just finished reading through/commenting on the draft. 🙂 Yay!
Anyway, thanks for doing such a good job on this! I see that we have another 800 words to go, so perhaps we can focus on some more character development and fixing some other things as well.
We need you! :)…[Read more]

Hi all! I just wanted to take a second here to remind all of us Parimians to review/comment/edit/whatnot on our guild’s draft that the very talented ESJohnson and Darth Pen worked on. 🙂 I see a few of us have already commented which is wonderful; if you haven’t, please look it over so we can make it the BEST!! 😉 (In other words, we need you.…[Read more]

@esjohnson I’m trying to write a fantasy series based loosely on Revelation. It’s rough going right now, though! 😛 But eventually I’ll get it done.

Ariella Newheart replied to the topic Guild War…6? in the forum Announcements 7 years, 6 months ago
@esjohnson I LOVE that name! And I love what you’ve written! One thing I’m wondering about is, with the reference to the Altar and the Lamb, could this story be classified as historical fiction? I’m not entirely sure, since there are a lot of different elements (almost of fantasy) woven in! It’s really cool. 😀 I’ve replied to a few of the…[Read more]

Evelyn replied to the topic Guild War…6? in the forum Announcements 7 years, 6 months ago
@esjohnson Wow! I really like that.
I wonder if righting in the present tense would be a good idea for dreams. I think it would really add to the feel.
What does everyone think of that idea?

J.A.Penrose started the topic Lesson 27 : Raving About Pacing in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 6 months ago
Hopefully by now, (sorry newbies) you have got a fair grip on Pacing and Suspense.
Today, you have a super easy task. Name one text, (try to use one that you haven’t before in these lessons) and show how it used pacing and suspense well. Try to be spoiler sensitive!
To help clarify, a text can be a book, poem, movie, song, play, video game,…[Read more]

Steward of the Pen replied to the topic Guild War…6? in the forum Announcements 7 years, 6 months ago
@pursuewisdom Yup, I was thinking something along those lines, but whoever writes the first draft can do whatever they think works out well.
I think we need to get a first draft done soon though. @ariella-newheart and @esjohnson, are you still interested in doing it? Does one of you want to just go ahead and do it now so we have something to work…[Read more]

All right guys! Can you all share your ideas for specifics here? We can take a vote on which ones to use tomorrow, and then one of you can volunteer to write it and post it by Tuesday morning. That ought to give us at least 5 days to revise and polish. Don’t…[Read more]

@esjohnson @steward-of-the-pen @pursuewisdom I’d be happy to help with the first draft, but my schedule is crazy so I don’t know when exactly I’ll be online. Someone please tag me when we’re planning to write it and if I see in time I’ll get on the doc to add my thoughts. 🙂
We might as well start discussing the precise details of the dream n…[Read more]

I can’t believe how articulate you are while also addressing almost everyone who just posted! 🙂 Really admire that. And yes, totally agree with what you and @e-jo2 said about visions vs. dreams.
We’re so lucky that Daeus did not give us a vision sequence prompt 😀 (Nods our our Master Sith, @j-a-penrose )

Okay guys, we’re now five days into this war and we need to make some decisions to move forward! *hands out lembas*
There have been lots of enthusiastic ideas thrown around and different opinions about what this should entail. It seems like the majority of those who have voiced their opinion want to go with a dream rather than a vision, and @ariel…[Read more]
