IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN, MEERKATS. The time to draw your pens and write!! Word war time!!!

It’s pretty simple, but here’s the dates of the competition, just so you know.

Between the dates of February 25, 12:00 am, and March 3, 11:59 pm, keep track of how many words you write. There’s a slight change to how we’re going to do the scoring this time…[Read more]

Did I forget to do our ‘weekly’ thread last week?

Yes. Yes I did.

You all have permission to throw tomatoes at me. 😛

This week, I’m going to have a look at how to write a blurb without all the tears and pain. Unless it’s just me who seriously dreads writing blurbs. 😅

I’m going to be attending Realm Makers Conference this year, and I was wondering if there were any other…[Read more]

As you could probably tell by the title, this topic will be dealing with Inside Out, which unlike the other three analysis topics is a cartoon. But, if you’ve seen the movie, I think you’ll agree that is a very well-done and surprisingly powerful film. The question is, why is it so good? How were the writers able to take a film medium designated…[Read more]

Sooooo yeah, I finally did it. I made a blog. Needless to say I’m pretty excited. *squirms*

Feel free to take a look around! I’m still working on it, so pardon the dust.

Calling all MEERKATS!

Welcome to the newest addition to the Meraki guild: Live Q&As with the Guild Master! (That means me 😂) I saw someone suggesting this idea and I really liked it, so after getting approval from the other guild masters, I’m kicking it off in a test run to see if it works out!
