Hey Everybody, it’s another week!
However, since I posted last week’s topic really late (shame on me and my cow, I know), not all of you got to it. And *spoileralert* our next week activity relies heavily on this week, SO
If you didn’t do last week’s activity, give it a shot this week. If you did, do it again in the same room. I want to pus…[Read more]

Brandon Miller started the topic 2018 Week 2 – Finding Details in the forum 7 years, 11 months ago
Hey Everybody,
Made it one week in before I fell behind. Yay go me. 😛
Alright, anyway, this week’s challenge.
Writing description is a delicate balance of providing enough details to create a picture, while moving on to the actual story fast enough to keep from boring the reader. One critically important method of doing this is finding si…[Read more]

Rachel Rogers replied to the topic Rillumen Colors & Related Randomness in the forum Rillumen's Writing Discussions 7 years, 11 months ago
Great ideas on the colors, everybody! All this talk of royal blue and gold made me think of lapis lazuli, which is a semiprecious stone of those colors. Apparently it also symbolizes wisdom and truth, so that’s cool. I thought it might be inspiring. 😛 The gold flecks are pyrite inclusions, if my memory serves. Here’s what it looks…[Read more]

Don’t let it be said that we were the aggressors here; Rillumen is the last guild to enter the conflict. However, our honor must be upheld. To war we go.
Yesterday, our rival guilds New Wessex and Avensbeck began a war which we must now join. The first battle is to be fought this week, through long nights and crammed lunch breaks. Want to hel…[Read more]

Drum roll please, it’s the second part of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARC! For those of you who have not read the first part, Aberdeen recommends you go to page 1 of this topic to read it (otherwise this part will make no sense).

Okay so…how long has OYAN been around, y’all??? I don’t remember it being around when I was in high school, but then…that’s been a few…months. *cough* Maybe they invented cool stuff since then. 😛
@gracelivingston HELLO! I’m glad you survived that camping trip. Sounds pretty crazy to me. XD

Sir Leeds replied to the topic Welcome to Rillumen! in the forum Announcements 7 years, 11 months ago
Hey @gracelivingston , nice to “meet” you!
Sounds like you’ve got some cool ideas in the works! I’d love to see them sometime, no matter how complete they are.
The consistency struggle is real. I tend to write a poem every 2-4 weeks on a very inconsistent basis, even though I have an accountability group, though I will say they’ve really helped.…[Read more]

Brandon Miller started the topic 2018 Week 1 – Description in the forum 7 years, 11 months ago
Hey everybody!
So, I think that this annual theme thing is going to be one of my favorite parts of the guilds. I can’t wait to get started…but then again, I DON’T HAVE TO!
The wait is over.
Our theme for 2018 is Description and Setting. I’m kind of generally planning on starting with basic description techniques, moving into active de…[Read more]

Violet replied to the topic Welcome to Rillumen! in the forum Announcements 7 years, 12 months ago
@rolena-hatfield That is good advise 🙂 I should probably make an altered schedule as well.
@ashlyvye I’m homeschooled as well. But I also act as a creative writing teacher for my siblings. 🙂
@gracelivingston I have a hard time sitting down and writing too. Procrastination is basically my hobby. ʢ/͠-ᴥ ͝-ʡ

I think we are kindred spirits. I love it when people are as big Disney Addicts as I am. 🙂
@gracelivingston Yes. We need a cool logo so we can put it on t-shirts and stuff.

@ashlyvye I’m good. We’re overrun with the little guys where I am as well. 😀
My published short fiction is about a squirrel (ha! speaking of them…) who goes to South America to bring red fire ants back to the Midwest in order to improve the soil condition and save his pecan grove community. 😉

@lady-iliara Yessss, I am so excited for that thing (four days!) XD Thanks! Oh really? That’s great! My sister wants to do that, too. Maybe we’ll meet on a movie set one day XD Ok, so my type is weird. I’ve been an INFJ for a very long time, but recently I’ve sort of turned into an extrovert? So that sort of makes me an ENFJ? I used to be really…[Read more]
