@emily-d That. Is. EPIC! There could be this time traveler kid who loves art, and wants to see the Mona Lisa when it was being painted, and then accidentally bumps into it and sends it soaring off in a time wormhole. He has twenty minutes to find it before Leonardo gets back from his walk. It could end up in some strange places! Like with…[Read more]

@evelyn Ummmmm I’m not sure? 😂 I’ve only ever played one version of the game, and I’m not sure if it’s duel or normal. What’s the difference between those?

@taylorclogston No problem 🙂

@evelyn I love 7 Wonders! 😃 I like best being Olympus on side B. 😉 How about you?

@taylorclogston Welcome to our guild! *gives you lembas bread*

@steward-of-the-pen I love the idea of using journal entries! That’s so cool!

@emily-d I really like your third idea. 😃

@jane-maree I have an idea!

What if the Mona Lisa is was meant to be a glorious shining lady, with a serious face? But then, a jealous artist snuck into his workshop and ruins his painting by smearing brown on her hair, and black on her dress. Leonardo is horrified and does his best to fix it. But as he…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose I am plotting my book by hand in a notebook with a pen; if I change my mind about what I’m going to write, and cross out some words, then do the crossed out words still count? I know that if I was typing and deleted words, they wouldn’t, but since this is handwritten, I just wondered if it might be different 😛

@cassie-hartfinh I agree! It motivated me to take some of my free time and put it toward my character arc (I’m not a fan of making those, and this one is especially hard) Squeezing in some time before bed! #writerlife 😂

I’ll count up my total words the day before it’s over 🙂

You know you’re a writer when…

… you see the poster picture for the new movie coming out and immediately begin predicting what’s going to happen based on what’s pictured. *cough cough yesterday cough how to train your dragon cough cough*

… you’re very critical and talk a lot during movies sometimes by accident to comment on what the…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose I’m currently working on plotting things – on paper. 😂 I’ll try to keep track of how many words I write, though. 🙂

@j-a-penrose I feel like your hint was the sealed jar.

Here’s my attempt at foreshadowing:

Lilith led Maddi over to a cutting board. “I hope that this will be more interesting, now that I have your company here,” Lilith smiled.

“I’m not that interesting,” Maddi shrugged. She took the knife that Lilith offered her by the hilt and deftly began…

Although I’ve got to say, I am reading the winning story, and am loving it. XD It’s hilarious. (just don’t tell anyone outside of our guild I said that, okay? 😛 )

@esjohnson Whoo! Good job Parimis! *hands out lembas bread* We’ll totally win next time! 😉

@evelyn XD I did not see that ending coming. It’s really well done! (especially because you tricked us with the title 😉 )

@writercatherine I agree! 😀 *claps for everyone*

@cassie-hartfinh Balloons are nice. *nod nod*

@evelyn I can totally imagine a child doing this, and a kind grandma. 😃

@consciousdreamer I would love to read it 😀

@evelyn Haha, that’s an awesome neighbour! 😆

1. I would suggest you work backward. Start at where you want to end (the answer to the mystery) and work back from it. What happens before they solve it? And before that? And that? By the time you reach the start of the story, you have a whole line of dominoes set up to knock over in a straight…[Read more]

@evelyn I sometimes like to pen some stuff, but I hate doing poetry that has to rhyme. 😛
