@j-a-penrose I LOVE that idea! Let’s compose our own song! How about we base it on a verse?

Parimis?

@cassie-hartfinh Ah, I can see how that fits, but I sill like the other one better. Burn Like a Star is more clear that it’s about us being made for God’s glory to fulfill his dreams rather than God fulfilling our dreams. I think the lyrics are deeper in that they’re more focused on God than on us. Like this part:

There you are! (Thanks @jane-maree)

Wow! That is a lot of words! *looks up word-count in LOTR* Well… we made it to about half that so, not bad.

I will enjoy racing you peeps… It seems that the smallest word guild has risen.

@j-a-penrose Ooh! I like this.
Yesterday (because I’m not going to get time today to write a lot, so might as well go with yesterday’s count. 🙂 )
So, yesterday, I wrote 5K words and honestly, I can’t believe it.
Here’s two sentences, though it sounds really random and weird, so yeah… xD

“Chris was alone in a small dark room. Well, not quite…

They definitely deserved the win!! But everyone had amazing word counts, and I’m so proud of ALL the guilds!

@j-a-penrose Whoo hoo! I’m totally excited for this! After months of plotting, I AM BACK AT THE KEYBOARD.

GUYS. I’M MORE EXCITED TO BE WRITING THAN THE STORY I AM WRITING.

Okay, but seriously, this is awesome. I’m already 1661 words in. 😉 Let’s show the other guilds what we can really do! >:)

@j-a-penrose Wow, I really like both of those clips!

@j-a-penrose What do you think about this song being our official Parimi Alca anthem? (See above post by me.)

@ariella-newheart ?

@evelyn ?

Thoughts anyone?

@j-a-penrose THAT IS SO AWESOME! (wow we wrote a LOT :O )

@j-a-penrose

It’s interesting you bring up Gandalf, because as far as I can tell Tolkien did some retconning to make The Hobbit a prequel- that is, the ring became The One Ring (no seriously go look up the History of Middle Earth series to take a look at how Tolkien got to the finished work; it’s both fascinating and encouraging when even Mr.…[Read more]

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!! YOU ARE ALL AMAZING! (I got some work done on my plotting yesterday morning, was thinking happily about the word count, then remembered plotting doesn’t count. 😂)

@writercatherine that’s still awesome! 😀 You just brought us 125 words closer to winning! *high five*

@j-a-penrose Woah, that’s a lot!

@evelyn @jade You…[Read more]

@cassie-hartfinh YES! Great job!!!!

@j-a-penrose That’s an amazing number!!!

GUYS WE’RE SO CRUSHING THIS!!!

*cheers*

Pass around the party hats!!! Pull out the ice-cream and cookies! 🙂

@j-a-penrose GUYS, GUYS, I GOT IN AN EXTRA EMERGENCY 600 WORDS!!!

GUYS I CAN NOT BELIVE THIS!

I just added up what we have so far and we’re at around 39,000!!!!!

*freaks out*

We totally got this!!!

That’s the sum of what the last winner’s had!!

Never mind about my last count up there, I’m feeling encouraged and I’m going to see if I can whip out another short story!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

*squeals!*

Great job Parimi…[Read more]

@taylorclogston Oh, I think I see where you’re coming from. Do you mean that you dislike how these characters seem to be wise and respected, but that the authors do not establish why they should be respected? In other words, the protagonist (or whatever character) will listen to their advice but not have a good reason to?

Also, to clarify, at the…[Read more]

WOW everyone! Great job on your word counts! *happy clapping and pine needle explosions* Parimi Alca shall rise!

@j-a-penrose I have 3150. *hides* At least it’s better than 293 or whatever last month’s was. xD

@j-a-penrose I got 14,046 words! *collapses*

@j-a-penrose Okay! *thumbs up*

*scrambles off to write*
