@e-jo3 Short story writing will just be short, fun competitions. It’ll just be another way we can hone our writing skills. Also, that’s a great goal! Publishing is always a kinda terrifying prospect, but it’s also such a blessing.

@cassie-hartfinh
So, first up, congrats! You’ve reached a huge step in your writing journey! *throws confetti*But now, let’s get down to business.
Firstly, I’d very strongly advise seeking a professional edit from someone before starting to pitch your novel. Find a reputable editor, and see where that goes. From what I can tell, if a publishing…[Read more]

@evelyn You’re all good, Evelyn. It’s mostly for fun, not as a cemented commitment. Thanks so much for all you’ve done over the years for us Parimis! <3

Prompt wars are back in! 😉
As the person who was writing them, I can totally get why it was hard to keep up with reading the regular lessons. Every day, my inbox tells me I have between 2-5 blog posts to read, and I just can’t do it all the time. People not reading articles and posts is something I’m getting better at…[Read more]

Brilliant ideas, and 100% what I was thinking. xD So, good to see that my brain is in the same place as someone else’s. For judging, I’d say that’d be good, and to do it with a bit of guidance. As with most of these things, I’d have to check over everything before it’s official, simply because that’s what’s expected.

J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Some Thoughts in the forum Announcements 5 years, 6 months ago
Awesome! Regular short stories has been quite vocally missed by a lot of people, so I’ll be very happy to bring those back.
As for lessons, that’s great! I’ll toss your name down on the list and we’ll see what happens from there.
So, depending on what things change in Parimi Alca, the responsibilities will most likely be…[Read more]

Hello Parimis!
I just wanted to gather some thoughts on an idea. Would you guys appreciate having short story competitions once a month again? And if so, would you like to have individual submissions, or would you like to make small groups? (note that this will only be taking place within the guild of Parimi Alca. Maybe every now and then we…[Read more]

I believe we have word-wars monthly, but the prompt wars have ended, I’m afraid. I’m hoping to get Parimis started on internal wars in the upcoming week.

@j-a-penrose
Ok. *sad face* That’s too bad. I enjoyed the prompt wars. But that’s fine! Ok! Thanks! (Would it be ok to start a thread for like miniature prompt wars? Either in the Parimis’ forum or the general forum?) -
Yep! That’s the plan, @anne_the_noob14 😀

@taylorclogston Ey, well, we can become active again together! 😬😊 And thank you, it’s nice to be done. I’m hoping to do a course in linguistics soon, and mostly focus on my writing, editing, and possibly doing more one-on-one teaching of writing.

Hello Parimis!
I vanished off the face of the earth for a few months, it seems. However, I have officially graduated from school, completed exams, and therefore should be free again, like the old days.
I’m really sorry for the general chaos of me not being around, and not really speaking to anyone at all.
Thank you so much @Jane-Maree for…[Read more]

I like the plot idea! (Sorry guys! I am around, things just get lost in my inbox very quickly these days. xD)
I’m happy with you guys writing it, and I’ll be around for a fair bit of input now. I don’t have anything much due. *shoves school to the side* I’m more on top of stuff than most of my friends anyways, so yep. I’m available.

@anne_the_noob14Seeing that it’s Daeus judging, I’d be saying go for serious. He’s into serious, symbolic stories. Jane and I enjoy action, feels, and humour. Faith loves sweetness. Maddie loves…I don’t know what Maddie loves. Martain is a bit like Daeus.
So yes. I’d be considering aiming for serious, and probably a…[Read more]
