Results are up! We didn’t do so well this time, but we did know that. 😉 A fair few people didn’t get their counts in on time, and those of us who did, didn’t write a ton. Myself well and truly included.
But guess what, guys? There’s a good chance that we’ll have a word war in July when we’re Camp NaNo-ing to absolutely thrash the other guilds!…[Read more]

Hello all, and welcome to the month before July, or more specifically, the month before a lot of writers go completely mental and write a heap. 😉
If you are new to the vast quantity of writing forums out there, April and July are Camp NaNo seasons. Camp NaNo is an online writing “camp” where you and up to 19 fellow writers band together to try…[Read more]

Guys, guess what??
Parimi Alca is ONE YEAR OLD! *flails* It was announced to the world on May 28th, and Steward reminded me of this the other day. Unfortunately, I then totally ran out of time to actually say anything. 😛 But I just wanted you all to know this exciting fact, and get excited with me. 😀
So yay,…[Read more]

Hello all! This has actually been around for a while, but I totally forgot to announce it. (story of my life right now, honestly. XD)
We didn’t win, sadly. </3Â That title goes to our friends over in Meraki, so be sure to congratulate them!
Our main issue was (as we kinda knew) that it was a HUGE story trying to masquerade as a super-duper…[Read more]

Does Jess deserve an award for being super forgetful??? YEP. *nervous laughter* Thank you, Catherine, for reminding me of this. XD
We have a word war happening, people!
This one is going from Monday to Sunday. If you’ve already written words from Monday to today, count them as well. *facepalm* Still can’t believe I forgot this.

@evelyn (That’s not a ton less than me, actually. *hides*)
@julia In that case (and any case) good job! 😀
@ariella-newheart Certainly was not just me at the end. But thanks! (And yes, we have magic. Magic is important. I spend my spare time inventing magic systems. Much magic. Un i eldacuru.)

Steward of the Pen replied to the topic Guild War : You Know It in the forum Announcements 7 years ago
@christlover Do you have a plan for the rest of the plot? If so, could you outline it briefly here? If not, could we start brainstorming ideas to help you finish it? We’re drawing near to the deadline, so it would be good for us to tie up the story so we can focus on editing for the last couple days.

J.A.Penrose started the topic Writing Life : The Community in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 7 years ago
As an introvert who lives in the middle of nowhere and is known for muttering, “humans” under her breath whenever she’s around other people, I have to say that I often find it hard to actually hang out with people…Even the writerly sort. I mean, what if they’re extroverts? What if there’s more than two of them?
Thankfully, Faith is here today…[Read more]

On that note…
If we haven’t started on a draft in 24 hours, I’m probably just going to start writing. Just so that we definitely have something to hand in. *fingerguns* Ideally, I let you guys write the first draft so that you can practice and grow, but having something happening is the no. 1 priority.
Volunteers,…[Read more]

As Christlover has said, guys, I reckon it’s time for us to get writing!
For all of you old-timers, (You’re over a year old, some of you. Yikes!) you should be pretty familiar with the routine, and it would be great if you keep things going smoothly through the rather chaotic drafting process that’s about to ensue.
The doc we’ll be writing in is…[Read more]

@julia Thank you!
@evelyn Yep, a concrete poem forms a shape that matches the subject of the piece. It’s pretty fun, and I definitely want to try it more now that I know about it.
@ariella-newheart Aw, I’m so happy it inspired you and served as a reminder. Sometimes it’s easy to forget to pray for them when we get caught up in our busy,…[Read more]

While I’m here, I just wanted to thank you all for being so good with being active and commenting and helping each other out with things. I’m quite often not replying to things, and it’s just great to see you all doing it instead! <3
