J.A.Penrose started the topic Writing Life: Arranging Alphas and Betas in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 7 years, 3 months ago
For those who don’t know, we are now starting to work together to post the annual theme discussion, and this time around, it’s on the exciting art of the Writing Life. This course/section won’t be super practical for right now, but maybe we can be using it later, and being sure to build up and appreciate the amazing relationships with other…[Read more]

Oooookay. So, I think there is a war going on. Not 100% sure, because there are high levels of chaos in the guildmaster realm, but here we go.
Prompt: “Write a believable conversion scene”
Time: Monday 11th – Monday 25th
Word Limit: 2500
Level of Freaking Out by Guildmaster: High

It’s been forever since I’ve said anything. And agh I am so sorry.
This time, I was aware that I wouldn’t be about. However, in the hectic mess of life, I had assumed I had asked someone to step in until things at this end were sorted out. So, either I totally forgot to do that, or no one actually took it on and it got forever lost in the…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Writing Prompt War: February 2019 in the forum Announcements 7 years, 4 months ago
@brandon-miller Well, looks like I wasn’t the only one who had remembered.
But yes, starting writing would be really good!
The concept of looking a death through a different lense would be really cool. That would allow for a non-cliche idea. The main thing to be careful of, though, is that it doesn’t fall into bitter-sweet.

Woah! Cool ideas guys! This could work!And goodness me. I forgot to make the doc. XD HERE IT IS FOR REAL
Faith Blum is our lovely judge this time around. She’s an Ex-Meraki and is the Guildmaster of Avensbeck.
Go ahead! If anyone else has ideas, just say so!

J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Writing Prompt War: February 2019 in the forum Announcements 7 years, 4 months ago
Hey guys! I’m stepping in for Faith at the moment (apparently no one else has??) and your ideas are sounding stellar!
Word Count is 2500 words, and also, bitter-sweet endings do not count. (Daeus informed us recently)
Tag me if you have any questions, and I’ll probably give random bits of feedback. Basically, I will try being Faith for the time…[Read more]

@silverclaw-bonnetfollyI would be VERY careful with the idea of a fairytale. It really is seriously likely to fall under cliché too easily.

J.A.Penrose started the topic Characters | Lesson 4 : The Other Side in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 4 months ago
A lot of the time, characters are written so that they are 100% good or bad. The protagonist is perfect, good looking, and maybe he has mild claustrophobia as a weakness. The villain is evil, kills puppies and shoots up old ladies in his spare time, and maybe every now and then he tortures someone who spilt his coffee instead of killing them.

J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Whole-Guild Tagging in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 7 years, 5 months ago
Ahhh, yes. That is one of the things I’ve been planning on dealing with over this time. Also, the new changes we’re making should help with this as well.
But yes. Whole guild tagging should not be happening unless you have direct permission from me.

J.A.Penrose started the topic Characters | Lesson 3 : The Motive in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 5 months ago
The motive of your character is important. The motive is what drives your character forward, and makes every scene feel strong and meaningful. The character’s motive is what brings about the theme, and what pushes the plot along. Your plot is driven by your character’s motive. Therefore, the character motive could be the most important f…[Read more]

I’m planning on treating this topic as a mini way of making sure that we all can get a fair idea of everything about characters from the super easy things, to the hard things that we all struggle with. (If you don’t, then goodness. Please teach me.)
Pretty much, the first thing I wanted to talk about is going back to the very basics of what a…[Read more]

Okay guys. I’m trying to be keeping you updated with what’s going on in Guildmaster world a bit, seeing that a lot is going on.
We’re considering some MAJOR changes to the guilds, and that could range from simple changes within the guild, or a total reshaping of the SE community. Hopefully, we’ll be contacting you to get your thoughts, but I…[Read more]
