@h-jones Wow. That was good. I made some suggestions to make it stronger. I know we’re supposed to be writing it together, so I probably could have just made the changes, but I thought it might help you all learn a bit, too. Feel free to reject any suggestions/comments.
Everybody else, we have 5 more days to get this thing as polished as we…[Read more]

A couple of you could write one and then we could decide which one we prefer.

The break would be from the weekly topics. I do like the idea of doing the topics every other week, though. I’ll have to run that by the other guildmasters to make sure that’s okay.

I’m not sure if there is a word limit, but I would keep it under 5,000 words for sure. Maybe even under 3,000 words. I’ll ask about the word count.

Hi, KR! That’s not really what this part of the site is for, so probably not. Sorry.

Thank you, @h-jones and @jenwriter17!
I do have a follow-up question. What would you all think of taking a break until January? This is a really busy time now for me, and I would assume that is the same for most of you as well.

Thanks, Maddie! Which author do you read for Westerns? Just out of curiosity.

Good morning, Avensers! Last week, there were no responses to the topic discussion, so I’m here to ask a few questions.
Is the subject of story structure something that you find helpful? Am I posting too much on Mondays? I could spread things out if needed. I am still new at being a guildmistress, so I would love some feedback. Is there something…[Read more]

The 1860s to 1890s were a shoot ’em up, bang ’em up period full of drinking, swearing, killing, and general lawlessness. So, how are you supposed to write a wholesome story set during the Wild Wes […]

Nice article Faith! I love westerns, but I’ve pretty much limited myself to only one author. Most secular westerns I’ve tried have been way too full of garbage, and I’m not a fan of the Christian ones I’ve tried. Maybe your article will help with that problem!

Louis L’amour. His are usually pretty clean, by my standards anyway.

Might I be allowed to share a couple of covers I made a while ago? I don’t remember if I still have the layered original, so I can make changes if I – or someone else – want to. But I have a couple and I THINK I might be able to change a few things about them if someone wants to have/buy one. *shrugs*
And I freely admit I’m not THE BEST. But I’m also NOT the most expensive person, either.

I love the timing of this post; just a few days ago I was hit with the idea for a western fantasy novel, and I’ve never really delved into a western genre before so this was great! Thank you so much for sharing, Faith! 😀

I’m not planning to write a Western, but I enjoyed reading through this article all the same. Great work! Hope to read some book westerns like this sometime.
