J.A.Penrose started the topic Lesson 23 : Edge-of-Seat-Plots in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 10 months ago
Quick task: Look up, ‘plot twists’ on whatever internet server you use. A lot of those things are just lists of handy plot twists for you to use! Useless.
I mean, honestly. Try to insert these ‘ready made plot twists’ into your story. How random would that be???
A lot of people think that if their story is flt, and lacking in something, the…[Read more]

@writercatherine Oh my woooord. That’s priceless.
@silverclaw-bonnetfolly Ooooh, cool! (And go girl! That’s a lot of words in a day. I average about 1700.)
@esjohnson Woot! Keep it up! Is this more on Talisman? Your Pinterest board there is so insane.

@steward-of-the-pen Awesome sentence! 😃
@esjohnson Nice job!

Yesterday, I wrote 1,807 words for Creative Writing (I may have gotten a *little* carried away… 😂) and 854 for my story.
So far today (I’m quickly updating here before I get on a roll) (I wrote earlier today 😛 ) I’ve done 1,583 words. *whew…[Read more]

Bethany replied to the topic Hello from Flyover Country… in the forum Introduce Yourself 7 years, 10 months ago
@esjohnson 😀 I’ve written a story from the perspective of a sailor on the ship during Paul’s shipwreck at Malta, one from a 1st person POV through Peter’s eyes when he betrayed Jesus, and one about Jesus’ appearance on the road to Emmaus. I think if I write any more in the future though I’ll use totally made up characters in that time setting…[Read more]

You like writing stories set in early Bible times? Let me summon one of my friends who has similar tastes… *sends a Parimian shoulder messenger dragon to fetch her* (All the more reason to join Parimi Alca! 😉 )

Eyyyy Parimis!
It’s been nearly two months since I did a check up, s I figured I’d give this a chance to see what you’re thinking.
Have you improved in Pacing and Suspense? Have you had any favourite lessons? Are there any things in this topic you’d like to look more into?
What about next Annual Theme Discussion? What would you like our next…[Read more]

Steward of the Pen replied to the topic Parimi Alca Creed in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago
@cassie-hartfinh Ah, I can see how that fits, but I sill like the other one better. Burn Like a Star is more clear that it’s about us being made for God’s glory to fulfill his dreams rather than God fulfilling our dreams. I think the lyrics are deeper in that they’re more focused on God than on us. Like this part:

J.A.Penrose started the topic NaNovember…GUILD WAR : WORD WAR in the forum Announcements 7 years, 11 months ago
Seeing that we did so well in the last word war, the other guilds seem to have risen to the challenge to see what they can do about beating the smallest guild, and so a MONTH LONG WORD WAR HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED.
We will not have a prompt war, and are instead going to focus on churning out words.
Basically, any creative writing that you do this E…[Read more]

Hey guys,
So I figured it’d be nice if we could demonstrate some of our ideas in action- also, I had some characters I really wanted to write. Thus, I made a thread for if anyone wanted to write a short story for a particular concept they had, and wanted to show how it might actually look in the setting. Kind of like beta testing; if we see…[Read more]

Have you ever read that book where you kept reading and there was this one subplot character that you just could NOT work out? The rando who turned up to offer wisdom, then vanishes? Maybe they tag around as a mentor figure, but are constantly off doing there own thing behind the scenes? Two very different examples of this that I can think of, are…[Read more]

Hey, everyone! I was just thinking of all the guilds and how we now have a badge, or coat-of-arms-of-sorts, and I was reading through our Parimi Alca backstory. Well, it came to my attention that I have never seen or heard of us having a Creed of any kind. Does our guild have a Creed of its own? If not, do you think we should? I was thinking of…[Read more]
