Hey guys. Today we are getting some advice from Faith Blum on how to balance all the business of life, family, and writing.
24 hours. 1,440 minutes. 86,400 seconds. That’s how much time we have each day. And yet, it seems like we never have enough hours, minutes, or seconds to get everything done. What do you do when you can’t seem to squ…[Read more]

Here’s the google doc page! Feel free to tear it apart. I know it’s not great, and if you feel particular plot points need to be rewritten I’m not against it. I’ll still be editing it too.…[Read more]

Today, I want to give you some tips so that, when you beta read, the friend you’re working for will be thrilled they asked for your help.
Anyone who harbors private opinions about why one story is better than a…[Read more]

Hey guys, this post is just to let you know I’ll be missing in action probably most of this next week. If you need me make sure you specifically tag me, because I won’t be checking in on things regularly.
You might have heard on the news about the hurricane (I can’t believe I’m typing that) that Nebraska got, and yeah, we got hit pretty hard. M…[Read more]

Alright guys. Today starts another prompt war. Same rules as before—2500 word limit, plot it out, then someone writes it. It’s due to be submitted March 24th, and the google docs idea worked well last time.
This wars prompt is: write a believable conversion scene.
I’m just gonna day right now I hate conversion scenes in books, both to read and w…[Read more]

Maddie Morrow started the topic Word war in the forum Announcements 7 years, 2 months ago
Hey guys! We have another war ahead of us!
This one is a word count war, and starts today and lasts through next Sunday night. All you gotta do is keep track of how many words you write throughout the week. Only count words like for short stories, novels, poems, etc. not blog posts, journal entries, or articles. You can post your totals here, and…[Read more] -

Hey guys, so a few of you followed me on Instagram recently and I didn’t recognize the names at first, and I know some of you have talked about books you have available, or starting a newsletter, so I thought it would be cool if anyone had a link to something like that they’d like to share, to drop it in the comments below!

Alright guys, it’s off! I did cut out a few unnecessary words just to get it into the right word count, but other than that I think it looks good. Well done all of you on all the ideas and planning and writing that went into it. Together we will conquer! And if not this time, some other time.

So… We had said we wanted to have this done two days before the deadline…which means we have TWO DAYS to get writing and editing. I made up a suggestion outline using tentative names, so of course we don’t have to use this, but if anyone finds it helpful:

okay I like kari’s idea and more than one person is welcome to write
basically, I think this is what we have come up with so far

Okay, I’m not sure who is on here right now. Are you still wanting to write this @kjames0813. I don’t think we need fantasy at all for someone to burn a town. Though a good question is why does the villain burn down the town. I’m not entirely sure if the whole birthday present thing works with the story we have come up with. Does he do it cause…[Read more]
