Heads up. We’re moving the guilds to the archives. You’ll still be able to access old posts, but you won’t be able to make new…[Read more]

Hello, all! It seems like ages since I’ve last been on here, and I’m sure I’m missing some tags for my former beta group…if so, I’m sorry. ::P I’m tagging what I hope is all of you who currently have access to my book even if you have not read it yet, and probably some of you who don’t. I know there’s gotta be a couple of you tagged who haven’t…[Read more]

Hey SE people!

We’ve launched a cool new feature on the forum called groups.

You can find them in the nav bar like so:

Groups are hubs for writers to gather around something they share in common. They include a Facebook-like feed and most of them also include their own forums.

So far there are three types of groups:
1. Word war…[Read more]

Hello peeps,

I guess I can’t be sure, but I assume Brandon has said goodbye to you? Well, not bye, but that he’s stepped down from guildmastering due to an overwhelming work load.

I wanted to step in on his behalf to let you know about the future of the guilds.

Many other among the guildmasters noticed that the job is mentally taxing and that…[Read more]

Hey there! I’m not technically here… oh well. I was just heard there’s a war going on, and wanted to cheer you…[Read more]

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]

Hey guys! I’m filling in for Brandon today.

Prompt war!

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

Have fun and see if you can beat the mighty Saxon Scribes.…[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.

Self Publishing vs Traditional…[Read more]

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]

Hey y’all!

Time for our next weekly guild discussion. This week we’ve got Jane Maree from Meraki with tips to help us prepare for a professional edit. (If you’re not sure if you need a professional edit, check out Josiah’s great article on the topic.)

If you’re pursuing publishing, whether traditional or self published, a pr…[Read more]

Y’all know what to do.
Let’s get some words.

Start: This morning

End: Sunday night.

Submit to: *link here now*

Write: An awful lot.

Let’s go,…[Read more]

Hey guys… It is I… Wordsmith. *nods*

Not long ago I took a long break from all this online stuff… and I finished the first draft of my novel. 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. The word-wars have been amazing.…[Read more]
