Well, it’s Tuesday night, so I’m a bit late for this. My classes started up this week so things are a bit hectic 😛

That aside, this week’s annual theme discussion is a bit different. Different in that I’m asking where are you at with our annual theme discussion? In the future, are there any areas you’d like me to cover more, suggestions for…[Read more]

Well… they’re back. The guild wars have finally returned 😀

If this is your first war, here’s a rundown of the rules:

– This is a prompt war, which means we’ll be given a writing prompt and must write something based on that prompt (clean and under 2500 words).

– This is a team event, so as many people as possible should try to work toget…[Read more]

Good evening, Ereki!

Sorry this is a bit late, but here is our September accountability thread! Post your goals below and we’ll check in again on Thursday to see how they’re going 😉

Good morning, Ereki 😀

With only four months left in the year (sorry, I had to say it), I present to you today a challenge *unravels scroll* *clears throat* *uses epic voice*

THE END OF THE YEAR CRITIQUE CHALLENGE

The challenge is for each guild member to present a piece of writing for critique once a month, for three months (September,…[Read more]

Hey Ereki!

We’re moving along with our annual theme of conflict and will be focusing more on external conflict for a while now. If you’re new to Erekdale, you’re welcome to go back and read through all the previous topics on internal conflict. But now… onward to external conflict!

We often think of external conflict first when crafting a…[Read more]

Hello Ereki!

If you could PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO READ THIS, there’s some cool and important information here 😉

The other Guildmasters and I had a meeting a few evenings ago to go over the feedback from the survey you guys filled out, talk some things over, and brainstorm ideas for making the guilds even more awesome than they already are.…[Read more]

Hey Ereki!

We’ve been talking a lot about putting conflict into our stories and how to do it, but now I want to pose a question: at what moments in a story should internal conflict (temporarily) die down?

Like action sequences, internal conflict rises and falls throughout a story; if it were intense all the time, it would feel stagnant and…[Read more]

Good morning, Ereki!

Today I have an excellent article on conflict for you all. Well, actually, it’s Brandon Miller’s article, but since he wrote it when Kingdom Pen was still active, I don’t think I’m betraying our guild 😉

HERE IS THE LINK

When you’re done, share one point or idea that really stood out to you and how you’re going to use it to…[Read more]

Anyone up for discussing and analyzing this little book called The Hobbit? 😉

Morning, Ereki!

This week’s annual theme discussion is about how to show internal conflict through external conflict. Since internal conflict is so…internal, it often needs to to be reflected in a physical battle for readers to better grasp it. That’s exactly what today’s discussion is about: finding examples in books, movies, or your own…[Read more]

Good morning, Ereki! August has come ’round, so here’s our new accountability thread 😉

My goals for the week are:

– finish character arcs for my outline

– write a blog post

Hey Ereki! (last notification for the day — I promise 😉 ).

The Guildmasters have been discussing how to improve the guilds, and to help with that, we’ve created a survey for you all to fill out. It should only take about a minute to complete, and we’d super appreciate your feedback. Thanks!…[Read more]

Good morning, Ereki!

I’m shifting our annual theme discussions a bit by focusing on external conflict, so for today, I have a question I’d like us to answer and discuss:

What is the best external conflict you’ve ever read/watched, and what made it so fantastic?

As with most discussions, there isn’t one right answer, so feel free to share your…[Read more]

Good morning, Ereki! This is the twelfth week of our annual theme discussion, and I’m beginning to believe that someone is stealing our time, because that went by way too fast 😛

But to celebrate getting this far, there aren’t any official assignments for this week. *throws confetti* Though if you do want to do something, you can add to the…[Read more]
