@joysparrow Creating Character Arc is an excellent book! I’m still learning from it, even though I got it a couple years ago. I’m currently referencing Structuring Your Novel by K. M. Weiland a lot. It’ really helping me with pacing, which *pulls down visor on helmet* is an ongoing battle for me. *heroic music plays in the background.*

Thanks for your replies! I’m so excited for the new year & all its new writing adventures 😍.

I write fantasy or dystopian adventure, although I do struggle to finish my projects. I’ve also started  to write poetry but that’s still in its early days.

Nice to meet you! I don’t know of any…[Read more]

Well, attendance seems to be sparse in this guild. I’d love to see it thrive, but a community needs people.

Heads up! Unfortunately, I’ll have to remove some people if they don’t make an appearance. I also plan to add some new people soon.

Welcome to the guild!

Thanks for all your feedback, guys! 😀 This is how it’s going to work:

I will set up two boards dedicated to writing. The first will be for writing tips, posts, articles, etc. so we can compile cool articles and promote each other.

The second will be dedicated to story inspiration. 😀 I think we will center it around character inspiration, scene…[Read more]

So nice to meet you! I love Speculative fiction and your novels/novellas sound super interesting. You also said you enjoy some poetry writing, so I’ll ask about that as well, since other people perhaps haven’t yet. XD What style of poetry is your favorite? 😀 Do you have any favorite poets?

@joysparrow   Welcome to S.E.! 🙂 Love your name! Where do you live? How old are you? How did you find the forums?

@joysparrow Hello! Welcome to Story Embers! 🙂 We’re all glad to have you! I assume that since you are interested in writing for games that you also like to play them too. If so, do you have any favorites? 🙂

@joysparrow 😀

What genre do you write in?

@joysparrow

Welcome to Story Embers, Joy! That’s a great name, by the way. 😀 Got a favorite book?

@joysparrow Welcome to SE!  glad to meet you!  Have you been published before?  How old are you?  I write mostly his-fic, and I am sixteen.  And I have never actually finished a novel, so you are ahead of me! 😀

@joysparrow  (Love your pen name!) Neat! I followed you… :_

@andrew: yay! looking forward to it!

@joysparrow: hey-o! Nice, I got a 35 so I must be on the low end of intermediate… You should TOTALLY write short stories! they are so much fun.
