Daeus Lamb started the topic How To Enrich Your Story Worlds By Inventing Original Slang in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 3 months ago
Hey Saxon Scribes!
Last week I missed our theme discussion because I got buried in research on the topic. Since then, I compiled all my thoughts into an article which I plan to submit to SE. First though, I’d like to share it with you and get your feedback. 🙂

There I was, gobbling up page after page of Out of the Silent Planet. Was…[Read more]

Hey, guys!
I’m excited to announce that I have started a blog. You can check it out here:
Right now I’m in a kind of pre-launch stage, where you guys can give me some feedback on the posts and everything before I launch it for real on the first of March.
If you guys could tell me if the posts are helpful/enjoyable/coherent it…[Read more]

@germaine-han Hey Germaine, I wanted to check — did you finish reviewing the show don’t tell course I sent you? I know you got through a lot of it, but I couldn’t remember if you’d finished it.

Daeus Lamb started the topic Run The Race Movie in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 3 months ago
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]

Daeus Lamb started the topic World building – governments in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 3 months ago
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]

Daeus Lamb started the topic Sanderson's third law – for truly extraordinary worldbuilding in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 3 months ago
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]

Daeus Lamb started the topic Want to get your thoughts on some ideas for guilds in the forum Announcements 7 years, 4 months ago
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:

Daeus Lamb started the topic Worldanvil in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 4 months ago
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]

Chalice started the topic So… What now? in the forum New Wessex Writing Discussions 7 years, 4 months ago
Hey guys!
This past November, I finally finished a rough first draft of my short story/novella (thanks to a few word wars I participated in). I’ve started this story so many times, but this is the first time I’ve made it through to the end. *Happy dance* 😀
I let it sit through the month of December, and now I think I’m about ready to come back…[Read more]

@msqueen8 @r-m-archer @noahlitle @corissa @germaine-han
The script is 14,760 words (including the homework exercises).
Optimally, I’d want feedback within a month, though within two months is workable.

Daeus Lamb started the topic Bama Rose day in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 4 months ago
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)!

Daeus Lamb started the topic Want to read about show don't tell? in the forum Announcements 7 years, 4 months ago
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,
I’ll take this opportunity to make several announcement.
1. Someone reminded me I never announced the November word war winner. We did well, but Meraki came ahead with 400,000 something total words.
2. We’ve decided there will be no word war the end of this month due to Christmas. 😉
3. I will also be taking off from the annual theme…[Read more]
