GO Rillumen!  This time we’ll write! Or at least try, lol 🖊️

I have faith in you. But more importantly, I have motivational doughnuts! ヽ(ᵔᗜᵔ)ﾉ🍩 🍩 🍩 🍩…[Read more]

I saw that no Rillumen members had responded yet so I thought I’d go ahead and tag y’all just in case anyone missed it.

I’ve spent moke time baking so far this week than writing.¯_(ツ)_/¯     I will definitely try to wring a couple of hundred words out of tonight though. Does anyone have a word goal for this week?…[Read more]

@graceabounds2129, cool prompt! Your calendar shows another prompt immediately three days after, but I thought we were doing this only every other week. I’m in for this first one.

Who else is…[Read more]

Sounds good!

Hey, @happyholly_c ! I’m almost done writing up an instruction/introduction post for this!

Was thinking it would be great to have some guidelines/ideas on how to critique when we get to that part. Anyone interested in writing up something?

@happyholly_c, So! I’ve not read it… but I looked it up and Amazon… and the cover art stole me immediately. I feel like I MUST read this book.

@corkybookworm, Oh! I’ve heard of that… Okay!

@happyholly_c, I would love to be able to join… but I couldn’t keep up with things, which would frustrate me beyond most anything else. BUT! I’m so glad to be helpful. I hope your study goes well. 🙂

@happyholly_c

Oof… I’m sorry, I don’t believe I can help here, as those two fields are outside what I usually work in. Unless by contemporary you mean contemporarily written. To which I would point at N.D. Wilsons’s Boys of Blur, 100 Cupboards, Ashtown Burrials, Leepike Ridge, and Outlaws of Time. All of those are adventure fiction, but each…[Read more]

So based on everyone’s favorites so far, here is an idea:

What if we posted a thread where everyone who wanted to participate posted their “writing plan” for the week (like 30 minutes on Monday, and hour on Tuesday, break on Wednesday…etc.) and we had a mini…[Read more]

@missfaeriekaiti @graceabounds2129 and @happyholly_c Thanks for the congrats, guys! XD MY SISTER AND I GOT OUR BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES THIS WEEK! They came like a whole month early! So that’s super awesome!

Haha, I was supposed to post in the critique folder and totally forgot! I’ll see if I can scrounge something up this weekend! But, please, y’all…[Read more]

@corkybookworm Congratulations to your brother!! Also, that is a lot of students! What grade(s) are you teaching?

@missfaeriekaiti @happyholly_c @nuetrobolt

How about this: we all think through our favorite parts of Rillumen and what we are each most likely to participate in. It might end up being a host of things, but if we find a way to kind…[Read more]
