Faith Blum replied to the topic Critique request [EMBERS book blurb] in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 8 months ago
I made one comment on the doc, but my main suggestion is to cut it down a lot. Book blurbs should be shorter than what you have. Keep it to the most basic parts of the storyline only and do three or four paragraphs. Basically, follow the tips in the article mentioned above.

Today’s topic is about Gathering Inspiration from Others and was written by Maddie.
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 writer’s block, though that is related; I’m talking more specifically about simpl…[Read more]

Faith Blum replied to the topic Please Give Me Superhero Book Recommendations in the forum Avensbeck Writing Discussions 6 years, 8 months ago
Katie Lynn Daniels wrote a series of books called Supervillain of the Day. It isn’t technically a superhero book, but there is an alien that is similar to a superhero who fights the villains.

I love this topic. Thanks, @maddiejay for posting it for me.
I personally have quite a few other hobbies and skills. Piano, crafts, and sewing are the main ones.

Today’s writing life topic is about dealing with multiple ideas. Have you ever had to do any of this?
Most writers have more story ideas than they know what to do with. If you’re in this boat, you need to know how to cut through the clutter and make the right decisions. Here are a few things I’ve learned that have helped me.

Faith Blum replied to the topic Your opinions please! in the forum Announcements 6 years, 9 months ago
How about turning the tables and asking each of the guilds how we would handle a particular writing problem? For example, throwing us a story with problems in it and asking how we would fix it? Or asking us how we would critique a particular story. Then we get to compare our answer, and the answers from the other guilds, against the expert…

Avensers assemble!
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 have an idea. This isn’t a premade decis…[Read more]

Procrastination. It’s a nasty little dragon that often grows ginormous at the most inconvenient times. For instance, the last week of NaNoWriMo. It will bring in other things such as a new shelf that needs a place in the living room which facilitates an entire…[Read more]

I can definitely see both sides, @myclipboardismyviolin and @jenwriter17. When I read the second story, my thought is that the ending came a bit too abruptly. Can you combine them a bit more?
