									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href='https://storyembers.org/members/e-jo3/' rel="nofollow ugc">@e-jo3</a> Short story writing will just be short, fun competitions. It&#8217;ll just be another way we can hone our writing skills. Also, that&#8217;s a great goal! Publishing is always a kinda terrifying prospect, but it&#8217;s also such a blessing.</p>

So, first up, congrats! You&#8217;ve reached a huge step in your writing journey! *throws confetti*</p>
<p>But now, let&#8217;s get down to business.</p>
<p>Firstly, I&#8217;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&hellip;<span class="activity-read-more" id="activity-read-more-71058"><a href="https://storyembers.org/activity/p/71058/" rel="nofollow ugc">[Read more]</a></span></p>

<p>Prompt wars are back in! 😉</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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&#8217;t do it all the time.

<p>Brilliant ideas, and 100% what I was thinking. xD So, good to see that my brain is in the same place as someone else&#8217;s. For judging, I&#8217;d say that&#8217;d be good, and to do it with a bit of guidance. As with most of these things, I&#8217;d have to check over everything before it&#8217;s official, simply because that&#8217;s what&#8217;s expected.</p>

<p>Awesome! Regular short stories has been quite vocally missed by a lot of people, so I&#8217;ll be very happy to bring those back.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As for lessons, that&#8217;s great! I&#8217;ll toss your name down on the list and we&#8217;ll see what happens from there.</p>

<p>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.

I&#8217;d love to invite you to the cabin. But I can&#8217;t actually do it until you&#8217;ve made a project. *facepalm* If you can let me know when you&#8217;ve done that, that would be awesome! (you&#8217;re also able to edit your project&#8217;s title and word count and whatnot up until the 20th of July, so it doesn&#8217;t matter too much. xD)</p>

<p><a href='https://storyembers.org/members/e-b-raulands/' rel="nofollow ugc">@e-b-raulands</a> Woah. I take it you went through a lot of notebooks? Also, yes! Notebooks are so good for planning and ideas, and are super easy to carry about. Plus, then you can just sit them next to you when you&#8217;re writing to cut back the number of tabs that you have open on your computer.</p>
