hi guys! This weeks post is by Brandon Miller.

Even though I don’t fit in with the introverted, agoraphobic, germaphobic writer stereotype (see Alex Rover from “Nim’s Island”), I have to agree with them on one thing: People can be scary.  That said, people can also be good friends. (Not as good friends as main characters or anything, but stil…[Read more]

sorry guys! I forgot to post this weeks discussion topic.

Getting a Professional Edit

Jane Maree

If you’re pursuing publishing, whether traditional or self published, a professional editor is a must.

So I hate to say this but lately, I have been doing everything but writing. Life has been crazy and I just have not given effort into setting aside time for writing. I have hardly even been on here as I am sure you all know. Wednesday though was the last day of my college classes (which I got an in both of if just barely in one) and I am finished…[Read more]

hi guys! So today I wrote the post for our weekly discussion. I don’t know if I mentioned it before, but the guild masters have been trying to cover things related to the general life of a writer, so hopefully you guys have been getting some helpful info.

How to deal with non-motivation/discouragement
Non-motivation is a real thing. It is also paralyzing. I ought to know, I’m dealing with it right now. And that is why I am writing this topic up weeks in advance rather than working on my own novel. Is that count…[Read more]

Shove that Easter candy in your pockets, Knaplingers. We’ve got a war to win!

Starting today is a word war!!

I believe it lasts all this week, and I’ll share the link again when it’s time to add your totals.

How and What to Read as Writers:

Okay so, we’re all writers, right? We weave words and spin tales and generally have a good go at reality. For most of us though, our love for stories started on the other side of the experience — as readers. Now that we’re writing, it’s sometimes…[Read more]

Balance of Writing Life and Health

Disclaimer: I am not a professional in any of the subjects discussed in this lesson, and am simply stating what I’ve found from research and experience.

Today’s topic is, What to Do When You’re Not Writing: Cultivating the eye of an artist by Martin Detwiler.

When we sit down at our desks and take up our pens, ready to mark down the next few hundred words, what is the mindset that has filled up all the space on either side of our writing? That is, do we consider ourselves writers, artists –  illu…[Read more]

Hello, all present! It is I, David.

This thread is for discussing our weekly challenges and conquests as we trek throughout the years and create adventures in our mysterious, awe-inspiring town.

Today’s the last day of our March War of Words! I decided to stave off all productivity until the today. *Eye-roll* But I’m doing decent as…[Read more]
