You have seen the notification that there is a guild war coming. Holding your breath between your teeth, you click on the notification.
“We’ll win the war this time.” The thought brushes, feather-light, against your mind. “Just what exactly is it?”
A war of You.
Well Parimis! After that fantastic smashing of a word war, I think it’s time…[Read more]

Hey guys, sorry this is late. But guess what? It’s May, and time for me to set up some new things for the guild! (It’s also International Star Wars Day, so as a Sith, I’m pretty darn excited about that.)
Back on task though. Today we’re hearing from Maddie about how to gain the habits required to write consistently. I’m excited, because I’m…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart I personally would like to have one of them back, but I think the staff decided it was too distracting for people…
I’ll definitely ask though!

@mariposa Oh my gosh. This is just as good as I remembered. XD
“Oh no! More girl writers!”
“If this ain’t the most introverted saloon I’ve ever been in!”
And how do you keep track of all of the inside jokes?? Honestly girl. XD *applauds*

@edmund-lloyd-fletcher Welcome! It’s great to see new people come along.
That’s a great reason to start writing. And at Story Embers, we’re all about writing non-preachy, thematical, Christian fiction, so it sounds like you’ve found the right place!
Your book is reminding me a bit of Mission League, by Jill Williamson. It’s a YA series that I’d…[Read more]

Hello all! I’m just going to let you know that this thread exists now! *throws celebration confetti everywhere*

@julia Welks! 😀
@evelyn Running is really good. I tend to run in the mornings and do martial arts when I get a chance during the day if I have to stay inside. And wifi off at 10 pm is actually such a good rule. (Doesn’t exist in our household, but probably…[Read more]

@evelyn I love Les Mis! (although, that’s Historical Fiction, not Historical Fantasy) It was a nightmare to read at times, but I still think it was worth it.
@pursuewisdom Ooooh, nice thoughts. *nodnod* And lots of different books I haven’t read.
@steward-of-the-pen Fantasy across an entire history? Books that come to mind are The Silmarillion…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Writing Life : How to Deal with Non-Motivation/Discouragement in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 7 years, 1 month ago
Hello Parimis!
I’m going to say now: feeling unmotivated and discouraged is something I struggle with a lot. I don’t tend to deal with it well (you can occasionally walk into my room to find me curled up in blankets on the floor with a lifetime supply of chai-tea and tissues) but it looks like Faith has a few words of wisdom for us…[Read more]

@april-j-rhys
Hey! Thanks for starting this. Really good questions (not to mention great to be able to read all of those answers)If you ask my old teachers what my strength is, they’d say Show don’t Tell. I personally think that characterisation is more my thing though?

Hello Parimis!
This is our Weekly Guild Discussion from Brandon this week, and we’ll be looking at a really cool topic: Reading. Without any further rambling at the front, we’ll hand over to Brandon.
Okay so, we’re all writers, right? We weave words and spin tales and generally have a good go at reality. For most of us though, our love for s…[Read more]

@april-j-rhys YAS. You are in the bestiest guild EVER! (At least, as far as I am concerned. *nodnod*)
And I have to ask: What is ‘furry’? I read it on the description when I had to pick some guildlings, and squinted at it for a few minutes, trying to work out if it was a typo, then you mentioned it again. xD (From the sign-up information.) And…[Read more]

@christlover Wait. You recognised it as Quenya. Ardalambion. Anya Elda?? (I may or may not be a linguistic nerd who learnt Quenya a while back, and has been slowly deciphering Vorian as a side hobby now.)
Hmmm, surprise surprise that the ENTP likes debating. xD Hopefully you’ll have some chances for discussion and debate during our Weekly Guild…[Read more]
