Happy new year guys!
To be frankly honest, I was not expecting so much to have changed between this time last year and now. I mean, Story Ember’s didn’t even exist then. But anyways. That’s not what this lesson is about.
Before I get stuck into our new topic, I’d love everyone to tell me what they think about a few things. As you know, I’m…[Read more]

@evelyn Unfortunately, it appears that Zoom costs money. xD And, if you haven’t already gathered, that’s something we’re lacking in. But we may well work something else out along those lines

Aww, thanks girl! (Yep, my editing.)
With luck, this topic will last a while. Not a whole year, we’ve all decided that getting one things to stretch over 12 months is insane.
Trust me, SE is not a burdern. It may sound like I’m finding it that way with what I was saying, but its more I just figured I’d let you know what’s…[Read more]

Ahh, so glad you find this helpful!
Okay, so I will confess, these comments have made me really relieved. I have no control over any of those things, but I can almost certainly bring it to the guildmasters’ attention.
I’m happy to make a general conversation thread, but we are hesitant as it may distract people from writing.…[Read more]

I totally get not knowing how much time you can commit, and that’s fine. I understand the joys of commuting, and rain my kite, time just vanishes on the road.
Word wars are just seeing how many words you can write in a set amount of time. They work great for some people, but absolutely horribly for others. But…[Read more]

Not ‘hold your hands’ so much as make sure people are doing things, or are kicked out. I don’t want to kick people out, so… yep. 😛
To be honest, in a totally normal time, I can accomplish pretty much all of the things that you guys are wanting. I’ve just had a few lapses that I should have dealt with earlier. However, I shall probably…[Read more]

@taylorclogston Haha, technically, it is my job. xD
And don’t worry, I haven’t been taking it as complaining so much as an opportunity to bounce off what people are discussing in order to clear things up a bit and work out how everything can be improved. ^-^
- Sweet! That’s the point of the guilds: to tailor for lots of people.
- Alright then.…

Well, you may have gathered this, but us guildmasters are now all seriously thinking about what we can be doing to help improve the guilds, and make them more active. I can clearly see that things have been lagging in Parimi Alca, and how it could actually be becoming more of a burden than it is a help.
If you are struggling with this in this…[Read more]

Yes, stellar job guys!
@pursuewisdom To be totally honest, I’m surprised that you’re surprised. D: I’ve been painfully slack with things lately.
So sorry guys, but you did awesomely!

We have been going for twenty-eight weeks now. Can I just say, that is insane. I honestly wasn’t expecting the guilds to take off like they did, but now, I’m definitely sold to it.
But anyways. I just wanted to tell you that there will be no more lessons from me until 2019. (I know. Huge break.) We’ll be looking at characters, and I think th…[Read more]

Agh no! So sorry that this happened @evelyn. D: And yes, @daeus-lamb, I do have room for her. *nods* I assume some of this got muddled up while people were away and general chaos. Sorry again!

Hopefully by now, (sorry newbies) you have got a fair grip on Pacing and Suspense.
Today, you have a super easy task. Name one text, (try to use one that you haven’t before in these lessons) and show how it used pacing and suspense well. Try to be spoiler sensitive!
To help clarify, a text can be a book, poem, movie, song, play, video game,…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 As long as criticism is constructive, it is accepted here! (Also, you may well like this little thread here.)
Feel free to do any of the lessons whenever. I’m trying to get back on top of things at the moment, and seem to be getting there, so I’ll be giving feedback more regularly.
