Noah Litle replied to the topic The stuff of dreams – a war in the forum Announcements 7 years, 5 months ago
@kate Agreed. What if we did just a random dream? Where the dream is the story? Kind of like Alice In Wonderland. It’s not a very good idea, I just thought I’d throw it out there.
What if we did a dream about the future, write it in past tense and use some of your ideas for a dream about the past, then when the character wakes up, we write in pr…[Read more]

@noahlite @sesi @germaine-han unfortunately, I haven’t read any of the books being used as examples… 😛
One thought I had… in the dream/idea we use for ‘future’, we could have the dream prophesy something that’s about to happen, and then in the last paragraph have the character wake up and the dream starts all over again, except it isn’t a…[Read more]

@kate @germaine-han @eden-anderson @noahlitle — For a fourth option we could think about having the character dream of being in a different world… ya know, like Black written by Ted Dekker? I haven’t read it yet but I’ve heard of it and I think it could be interesting, so long as we don’t copy Ted Dekker too much.
Or he/she could dream…[Read more]

Noah Litle replied to the topic The stuff of dreams – a war in the forum Announcements 7 years, 5 months ago
Okay, so I seemed to have listed all our options earlier: past, present, or future. But is there a fourth or fifth option that my list hides? Or perhaps we can mix the moods… not even sure what that means. XD
Or perhaps we could do a future dream sequence and have the ending be like Arrival. That’d be really c…[Read more]

That’s a great idea. But…
Something that @chalice said last night was to not use the first idea thrown out there, but to come up with something better. We’ve been so close to winning these past few times. Let’s do something different this time.
Let’s force ourselves to come up with three or four ideas. And then only use the best, or m…[Read more]

Noah Litle replied to the topic The stuff of dreams – a war in the forum Announcements 7 years, 5 months ago
I’ve got another question.
Are we doing a story opening? And if so, what kind are we doing?
Are we doing a Kung-Fu Panda type dream sequence opening, where everything is awesome, but it’s not congruent with the character’s life? Or are we doing an Inception type dream sequence opening, where the dream is the character’s life? Or are we doing a…[Read more]

(excited grin emoji with maniacal laughter goes here)
This is something I think I could do! This could be as much fun than the fish one!
I would love write the first draft. What kind of dream are we writing?
*puts on a calm facade.*
I’m sorry. I’m a completely normal person that is not as excited about this as I appear to be.
I agree with @lit…[Read more]

Folks, I have been mostly gone for the last four days with no access to internet, and will be gone again tomorrow. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my stuff/answer my questions — I will (hopefully) be able to discuss stuff more in depth with you guys on Wednesday.

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]

It’s a rough draft.

OKAY, folks. Apparently, I have the esteemed position of Featured Guild Member. And not only that — I’m also the first featured guild member, so I can’t piggy-back of off previous examples because there are no previous examples. Which means I have to trailblaze this thing, WHICH MEANS…

Hey guys,
It’s me. Normally, each week we focus on our theme topic — which right now is worldbuilding.
Today though, we’re going to do something different. We’re going to try, the last week of every month, to focus on one of our guild members. I’ve decided to work down the list on our guild page, so today we have our snarky elf, @ethryndal.

Sorry I’m late. This week’s word count for Good or Evil: 3,845. I think that’s a record
And I finished the story!
Word count for the finished story as of yet is: 14,627.
I’m still going to work on adding scenes and editing this next week, though. And I’ll try and post what I’ve got Friday evening.
Thank you all for your support and…[Read more]
