Yes, the title of this thread is a joke. Yes, this is an icebreaker.

You are the ice, and I am going to break you to pieces.

Sorry…I don’t know where that came from.

Anyway! You all look like fun people and I really want to meet you. Here are five questions that will unveil your very soul.

Tea or coffee? (The world breathlessly awaits…

Kate Flournoy started the topic What's Your Writing Personality? in the forum New Wessex Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago

Hey guys! In light of our most recent topic and the general consensus to make the community tighter, I thought I’d share something I’ve been mulling over for a while now.

I’ll run the risk of sounding promotional-y and link to a post I wrote on my blog: What’s Your Writing Personality?

Let’s make this a question/discussion thing. What’s your…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb started the topic A new day in New Wessex in the forum Announcements 7 years, 10 months ago

Hey guys, so things are changing.

I just held a planning meeting with the other guild masters and we were talking about how to improve the guild experience so we can all safely say the guilds are the most awesome place for writers to be.

Based on these decisions, we’ve decided to make a few changes. (PLEASE PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION).

First and…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb started the topic Character workshop in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 10 months ago

Hey guys,

Let’s do something different this week. We talk about characterization a lot, now let’s put it into practice.

For this to work, we’re going to need one or more volunteers. If anyone has a character who isn’t behaving quite how they want them to, post about it here and we’ll have fun dissecting them together and learning from our…[Read more]

@julianne I definitely agree about the bully character. There could be so much more depth to that character! Your possible backstory for the bully is making me want to create a character in my head. XD

Daeus Lamb started the topic One of my fav articles on character developement in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 10 months ago

Hey Saxon Scribes,

Look out! I’ve got a silver bullet for you today.

This is one of my top favorite articles on character development ever: https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/boba-fetts-guide-writing-cool-characters/

Why? Because it teaches you how you can pack tons of characterization into as small a space as a single s…[Read more]

I have a prayer request from my Grandmother. She has dementia and seizures. She is in really bad health and is being very mean to her husband and sons. My dad and I just got home after visiting her. She is not doing very good.

Also, this may sound a bit ridiculous to some of you. My cat is really sick. We can’t figure out what is wrong with h…[Read more]

@raemarie @julianne Totally cool with us. Just so long as we’re not expected to moderate any outside discussions. 😛

Daeus Lamb replied to the topic Children and their character voices in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 10 months ago

@cassandraia @julianne Good stuff.

I agree that the Star Wars example was cool but got tiring. It reminded me of something common among children — obsessions.

Good analysis, Julianne. Children aren’t really villains, but they’re oh ever so selfish!

As I’ve thought about this, one thing I believe really defines a child’s voice is that they may…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb started the topic Survey in the forum Announcements 7 years, 10 months ago

Hey Saxon Scribes,

Could you help us guildmasters out? We launched the guilds to be fun, tight-knit groups where you could inspire each other, keep each other accountable, form great friendships, and improve your craft.

We’ve seen some of these benefits for sure, but we know that there’s plenty of room for us to improve and we want to offer you…[Read more]

Hey Saxon Scribes!

Sorry I missed a week, but I’m back with our annual theme discussion on characterization, trying to dig deeper and cover a lot of ground so at the end of the year you’ll be better at characterization than when we began.

Since we just had our competition to write the best story featuring a five-year-old’s POV, I thought that…[Read more]

@julianne Moving has been hard. I left the town I was born and raised in for a city that is about 5 times bigger!

I haven’t found a church yet and I definitely am going to check out FBC Branson. It sounds like a really good church.

Thank you for praying! Would you like to chat more over email or something?

RaeMarie replied to the topic Prayer requests #1 in the forum Prayer Requests 7 years, 11 months ago

@julianne Wow! It is so cool to meet someone nearby. I just moved here a couple of months ago, so I don’t have any friends yet.:)

The accident is heartbreaking, I agree. I went down to the lake on Saturday and it was so quiet. Like, nobody was there, except a few.

@Cassandraia aww, thanks. 🙂 I’m glad you approve.

RaeMarie replied to the topic Prayer requests #1 in the forum Prayer Requests 7 years, 11 months ago

@julianne Do you live in Branson? I live in Walnut Shade. Branson was so quiet on Friday. I am praying for all the families that have been affected by all of this.

Daeus Lamb replied to the topic Prayer requests #1 in the forum Prayer Requests 7 years, 11 months ago

@julianne Oh, no! Definitely praying for redemption out of this.

Sarah Baran replied to the topic Prayer requests #1 in the forum Prayer Requests 7 years, 11 months ago

@Julianne That is so incredibly tragic and heartbreaking. I will definitely be praying for those poor people.

Okay guys. It’s officially submitted. *thumbs up* You people are amazing.

@Noahlitle CRIPES! Cuttin’ it kinda close, don’t you think? :’D

Like I’m one to talk. XD

I really like your edits though. Especially towards the end, as mine felt a little rushed. (I wonder why… not like I was trying to cram an ending in as few words as possible… hm…) I did tweak a few things; wording and such, and cut a few lines that…[Read more]
