I just wanted to get a discussion going on here about hyperrealism. I’ve been reading about it lately and wanted to hear some other artists opinion on the subject. A lot of people seem to think it’s not creative, it’s not art, and the people who make it are basically just human photocopying machines. Anyway, what are your…[Read more]

Well look who’s posting late. :0  Oops.

Today’s post is from Maddie Morrow on developing habits to be a real writer.

Hey guys!

I haven’t really been around for a while (school has been kind of overwhelming), and I think some of us have also been a little dormant on the forum. I just thought I’d create a thread to catch up and talk about how our writing has been going — even if it’s ranting about a busy lifestyle, we can still step in to encourage each other…[Read more]

How’s it going Scribes?

This week we’ve got some encouragement from Brandon Miller on the importance of reading and reading well.

Hi lovely Saxon Scribes. ‘Tis I, emerging from hyperspace like the Millenium Falcon with a blown hyperdrive and three dozen Tie-fighters on her tail.

Have I been watching The Force Awakens? Yes I have.

Seeing as this month’s theme is writing lifestyle, I thought this would be a great time to have a Mutual Encouragement Moment. We all have…[Read more]

Greetings folks,

Today we’ve got a well-needed post from Jess about staying alive and being fruitful. Because all writers are monomaniacs and all monomaniacs are unhealthy.

Stay healthy, people. More info below.

Hey Guys,

Today we are privileged with a mini-article on writing when you have a busy schedule by Faith Blum, one of the other guildmasters.

As a bonus exercise, is there anything that’s keeping you from writing currently? Maybe we can brainstorm it. 🙂

Hey, Saxon Scribes. Following up on last week’s post, here’s one on how to beta read well.

~~~~

Beta reading is a great way to make friends, help others, and even polish your skills.

Today, I want to give you some tips so that, when you beta read, the friend you’re working for will be thrilled they asked for your help.

Anyone who harbors p…[Read more]

This is a bit late, but have at it!

Today, we’re kicking off a whole new theme discussion. The writing life!

This week and next, I’m writing the topics and over the weeks you’ll get some great stuff from the other guildmasters. It’ll be a fun ride.

Now, about organizing beta readers.

We know that critique is vital for our growth as writers,…[Read more]

Hey guys,

I’ll be releasing part three of my Show Don’t Tell Course in the next few weeks.

For the marketing side of things, I thought ideally I wouldn’t just tell people what the course will teach them, but show them. 😛

To do this, I’m looking for a scene I could edit just using the techniques I teach in my course. Then I could show the raw…[Read more]
