wOw. I’ve … been gone for awhile. *ponders in a corner*

But I’m back! Hi! *waves excitedly*

So for my June critique piece, I’d like to present the third chapter of my WIP. *throws confetti*

Chapter 3.

Please critique for:

– Show Don’t Tell: It’s hard for me.

– Interesting-ness: Does it intrigue you and pull you into the story more?…[Read more]

Hello everyone!

For my December critique piece, I’d like to present the second chapter of my current WIP!

Before I forget, here’s the link: Chapter 2 WIP

Please look for:

– Character Development: Am I still describing my characters well?

– Show Don’t Tell: Yeah… I’ve had trouble with that before….

– Setting/Worldbuilding: Is the setting…[Read more]

Hi guys!

Here’s the second part of my September critiquing piece: the first chapter of my current WIP!

What to critique for:

– Character Development: are my characters described enough? Can you get a good image of them in mind?

– Setting/Worldbuilding: How’s the setting? Even though this is early on in the WIP, can you get a fairly clear…[Read more]

Hello everyone!

I am here to present the first part of my September critiquing piece: the prologue of my current untitled WIP!

What to critique for:

– Is it intriguing? Since this is kind of the “hook” or “attention-getter” of my WIP, does it catch your attention and make you want to keep reading?

– Character: Yes, the characters are supposed…[Read more]

Hello fellow Ereki! Today I present to you my September piece for the critique challenge–the first half of chapter one from my WIP, Firemaster.  *confetti*

Now, as to what I’d like for critique, I’d like to focus on three main areas:

• Flow–how does the story flow? Is it easy to understand, or are there some confusing parts? How to the…

Hey Ereki!

We’ve been talking a lot about putting conflict into our stories and how to do it, but now I want to pose a question: at what moments in a story should internal conflict (temporarily) die down?

Like action sequences, internal conflict rises and falls throughout a story; if it were intense all the time, it would feel stagnant and…[Read more]

Good morning, Ereki!

Today I have an excellent article on conflict for you all. Well, actually, it’s Brandon Miller’s article, but since he wrote it when Kingdom Pen was still active, I don’t think I’m betraying our guild 😉

HERE IS THE LINK

When you’re done, share one point or idea that really stood out to you and how you’re going to use it to…[Read more]

Anyone up for discussing and analyzing this little book called The Hobbit? 😉

Morning, Ereki!

This week’s annual theme discussion is about how to show internal conflict through external conflict. Since internal conflict is so…internal, it often needs to to be reflected in a physical battle for readers to better grasp it. That’s exactly what today’s discussion is about: finding examples in books, movies, or your own…[Read more]

Good morning, Ereki! August has come ’round, so here’s our new accountability thread 😉

My goals for the week are:

– finish character arcs for my outline

– write a blog post

Hey Ereki! (last notification for the day — I promise 😉 ).

The Guildmasters have been discussing how to improve the guilds, and to help with that, we’ve created a survey for you all to fill out. It should only take about a minute to complete, and we’d super appreciate your feedback. Thanks!…[Read more]

Good morning, Ereki!

I’m shifting our annual theme discussions a bit by focusing on external conflict, so for today, I have a question I’d like us to answer and discuss:

What is the best external conflict you’ve ever read/watched, and what made it so fantastic?

As with most discussions, there isn’t one right answer, so feel free to share your…[Read more]

Good morning, Ereki! This is the twelfth week of our annual theme discussion, and I’m beginning to believe that someone is stealing our time, because that went by way too fast 😛

But to celebrate getting this far, there aren’t any official assignments for this week. *throws confetti* Though if you do want to do something, you can add to the…[Read more]
