@sleepwalkingMK Bravo! I really like the contrast. 🙂
@Supermonkey42 Whoa, I liked how you explained where his excitement came from, or else we probably would have thought he was sadistic or something. And I also liked how in the end, you had him open his eyes to what was really going on around him. 🙂 There was a bit of telling in there that I…[Read more]

@overcomer Yes, this was pretty recent.

Hello friends!
I just wanted to give a quick update on one of our splendid Avensers, specifically @morreafirebird .
If you haven’t guessed by the title, she is leaving our guild. But don’t despair! It is for a good reason.
Audrey is joining the ranks of the guildmasters! 😀 Unfortunately, that means she is not remaining in Avensbeck. Can’t h…[Read more]

Gabrielle Pollack replied to the topic Calling All WordPress Users! in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 5 months ago
I really don’t know much about WordPress, though I do use it. I use .com.
Idk much/anything about hosting, I fear. :/
I’ve got the premium plan. If you’re talking about space for media, I upload a fair amount of photos, but still have plenty of space.
It works fine on mobile, but I generally work on my computer. I don’t have the…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 *grins* Anytime.
@sam-kowel That’s fine! I only added a word count so it wouldn’t turn into a book ;). I liked that you picked the emotion joy, but didn’t name it to avoid emotional telling. And I love the first line. XD Good job!
I had a suggestion but then realized that it kinda goes against the instructions I gave you. XD

Here’s the official announcement if you’d like to read it:…[Read more]

@jenWriter17 Awesome! 😀 I like how you pointed out how the bark felt to Gwen. I also liked that you used thoughts to show how she felt about the “miserable lot of tiny humans.” XD That’s fantastic.
One way you might be able to sharpen the piece is to point out a few details in Gwen’s surroundings that only she would see. She’s in a certain mood,…[Read more]

@Sam-kowel Good luck to you! 😀
@toklaham-veruzia I hope you can figure it out! I’ve had trouble with my climax before. It’s not fun. :/

I’ve got something a little different for you today.
To get you guys thinking about how setting interacts and affects emotion, I’d like you to write up an excerpt that uses the way you describe and use setting to highlight the mood.
Here’s the catch: The setting must initially seem to contrast the emotion your character is feeling. For example,…[Read more]

Gabrielle Pollack replied to the topic Infinity War, anyone? in the forum Story Analysis 8 years, 5 months ago
@morreafirebird They probably were. That “No resurrections this time” line was a bit much, though. Marvel, we get it. Loki died. Don’t rub it in our faces. XD But it <span style=”background-color: #f6d5d9;”>did </span>prepare us. It showed readers what the tone of the movie was going to be from the very first scene.
Yes! I love how they m…[Read more]

@snapper I advise Pinterest as well. 😛
But I do have some ideas. Maybe you could write a story about two brothers. The younger one accidentally stole the elder brother’s dangerous portal gun and sold it to an alien warlord who’s bent on destroying the human race. Now they have to get it back.
Perhaps write about a Grand Canyon tour guide giving…[Read more]
