Coralie started the topic Slippery Syntax in the forum Rillumen’s Writing Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
Okay, guys! Time for a discussion!
Recently, I’ve been juggling a novella challenge and the 100 for 100 challenge. I kind of left the novella challenge by the wayside, but not before writing around 23,000 words for one draft and 4-5 for another in a different pov. I also thought this would be a good chance to try my hand at first person, since my…[Read more]

@happyholly_c Fill out the same sheet as last time since I’m sure some people will be using different characters.
@graceabounds2129, that’s a really great idea!

Your goal is to write a story where you bring out the beauty of something ordinary in the middle of a very dramatic setting.

Rolena Hatfield replied to the topic Finding your writing voice in the forum Rillumen’s Writing Discussions 6 years, 10 months ago
Oooh great topic! It’s so true sometimes we writers have to take the pressure off ourselves and remember why we love to write in the first place.
Also your point about being our own audience also really helps me tone down the preachiness in my stories and just let the words be honest about myself and the world. Because I think my…[Read more]

Hey guys
It’s been a while since I posted one of these (or anything, really) but when I saw what Jane from Meraki had cooked up (along with help from Daeus and Faith), I had to make sure to share it. If you’re trying to decide whether you want to pursue traditional or self publishing, it’s your lucky week.

J. S. Brink: Throne Warden started the topic Where is everyone? in the forum Announcements 6 years, 10 months ago
Rillumen has been so inactive lately! Where is everybody? Or has it always been this slow and I never noticed? Not that its bad or anything!
I almost missed the latest word war, so I thought I would remind everyone to quickly send in their total words! The time’s already up, but Daeus Lamb added something today reminding everyone to send in their…[Read more]

That’s a great question! And on that I’m not entirely sure how to answer directly… but I’ll do my best.
Start out with a very specific aspect of the personality you want to work with. Ingrain that aspect into your character. And the throw them into the world. Think about how that single aspect will react to one character vs…[Read more]

And I want to let you know, that working with Rillumen is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest reason I actually had it finished in the time-frame of one year.
