@j-a-penrose *faints because of epic poem*

@cassie-hartfinh @coggleton @aysia-serene @wishingwell13 and @esjohnson *throws pine needle confetti over you* Welcome to the awesome world of Parimi Alca! I too am a fan of chocolate, classical music, and worlds that don’t exist. Yippee!

@j-a-penrose Oooh one of my weaknesses is writing dialogue. Sometimes I have trouble doing transitions between different subjects without it sounding choppy. Does anyone have any pointers?

@j-a-penrose ah, I see. I might give it some more thought, then. Who knows? 😊

@j-a-penrose Okay, so do I get notified of all the weekly lessons, guild wars, etc.? I’d love to jump into those right away!

Ooh, cover art! I could actually use some help with that right now! My books are ready for publishing. I just need some cover art. Who should I talk to?

Yes, this is why I joined Story Embers. I wanted to get involved in a…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Ha, honestly I didn’t even see that when I wrote it. Isn’t that poetic of me? *does a mock bow*

So, on a completely different subject, other than joining this guild, I haven’t really discovered much of what it has to offer. What do you guys do all week, and how do I get involved?

Also, I’m following my own challenge for the week,…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Who’s Taylor Davis? Is she Christian? What genre of music is she?

@j-a-penrose I love Taylor Davis! 😃 I don’t listen to much Linsey Stirling, though. 😛

@j-a-penrose Yes, I absolutely LOVE music! (Well, anything either Christian specifically, or classical.) Among my top faves are Rich Mullins, Chris Rice, Britt Nicole, Lindsey Stirling, and TobyMac. What do you like? I don’t play any music, unfortunately, but I do sing sometimes. (Or try to, and then have my little sister tell me how awful I am at…[Read more]

@gabriellepollack 😀 😀 😀 Wheeeeeeeeee

@all the other avensers who helped edit

We did it, guys. Thanks for getting my draft in shape

@j-a-penrose *gasp* You traitor! 😉

@j-a-penrose thanks for the suggestion! I’ll work on that. 😉

@j-a-penrose thanks so much!

@j-a-penrose Will do!

@j-a-penrose thanks for the warm welcome! I’m definitely glad to be here. 😊

@j-a-penrose Aww, too bad! When I saw the prompt I knew I had an awesome section in my book Oath that corresponded, but I was too late to enter. Can we still post it here? I’d LOVE to share it!

@j-a-penrose na, I’m good. 😉

@j-a-penrose Thanks for the tips! 😃

@j-a-penrose HA yes, I was always the kid in the class who had to make sure her art project was completely different from everyone else’s. I don’t think any of my creatures are “normal.”

Thanks for the advice! That does seem very confusing when you don’t know all the background. Most of the missing information is pretty foundational Yelodrian…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Thanks for the advice! I’ll definitely play around with that. 🙂

@evelyn, oooh, nice! I’m dying to know what’s in that pouch!

@j-a-penrose, here’s mine! It’s 499 words 😛 It’s sooort of from my WIP, but I probably won’t get to a book with these characters in it for like…ten years. *sniffs* Thanks for giving me an excuse to write about them.

Peridot’s hooves crashed on the other side of the ravine and Te…
