Hey everyone on the forum. Yes, you.

There’s a Christian film coming out February 22nd called Run The Race and I actually got the chance to preview it at a film festival last year.

Guys, it’s really good! Maybe it’s just slightly cliché, but there’s so much going for it that it gets a resounding A+ from me.

Here are some things I liked about it…[Read more]

Hey Saxon Scribes, as someone who never follows politics, I feel sheepish writing this, but I’ve learned a few things through experience and I wanted to leave you with a challenge.

Few things define a society like its government. Yet, for those of you like me who aren’t familiar with the ins and outs of politics, this can be unnatural t…[Read more]

Saxon Scribe, ahoy!

I’m rubbing my hands that I get to tell you about Sanderson’s third law today. Brandon Sanderson is, of course, a famous fantasy author and he developed three laws for how to develop magic systems. You may enjoy reading all his three laws, but today we’re going to focus on law #3 because it applies to spec-fic writers and…[Read more]

Hey guys,

The other guild masters and I have been talking about the guilds and we thought we might be able to improve them with a few minor changes. I would really love your opinion on these. We’re not planning on any of these yet, just toying with the ideas, but if you really like them we might roll them out.

Here they are:

There are two pitfalls with worldbuilding. It seems you either don’t worldbuild enough or you worldbuild so much you can’t keep track of it all.

Worldanvil helps you fix both these problems. Thanks to @kate for recommending it to me.

While this site is built for speculative fiction writers, it could also work well for anyone who wants to…[Read more]

Drumroll please!

Today, we take a day off from our discussion of worldbuilding to focus on our guild member @bama-rose. *hands you the microphone* What do you want to share? It could be a description of yourself, a question, or a request for critique (or all three)!

Hey friends,

Some of you may know that about a year ago I released an in-depth e-course on show don’t tell.

Today, I completely finished all the scripts for part 3 of the course. I’m looking to see if anyone is interested in being a beta for it. What’s in it for you? You’d get free access to part 3 when it is released (value ~$70-$100).

I’m…[Read more]

Hey guys,

After our long break, we get to do a prompt war again!

If you’ve followed the topic about charm in stories, you probably noticed I’m fascinated with dream sequences. So I decided to make that the theme of our prompt. 😉

Starting today and lasting for two weeks, we have the assignment to write the very best dream sequence we can. (In…[Read more]
