Martin Detwiler started the topic What To Do With This Subforum in the forum Story Analysis 6 years, 8 months ago
Hello Ereki!
It’s been nearly a year since the last comment in this portion of the forum. That means one of two things: either we don’t need this part of the forum, or we do need it but don’t exactly know what to do with it.
So here’s to talking about this.
1. It seems to me that this is a tremendous space for talking about existing pieces of…[Read more]

Sounds like a unanimous decision, then! I’ll create a document (link below), and because she asked, we’ll give @princess-foo the first place in the critique queue. Go ahead and create a separate topic and we’ll do our best to give feedback!

Martin Detwiler started the topic Reviving Critique Submissions in the forum Critiques 6 years, 8 months ago
Hey Ereki!
Just wanted to pop in this portion of the forum because I feel like it’s been a bit of a ghost town ever since SE’s short story contest caused a bit of a rush of activity here.
I’m admittedly one of the worst of us at actually critiquing other people’s things. I don’t make the time that I ought to for it. But despite that, I do want…[Read more]

Martin Detwiler replied to the topic Weekly Wonderings in the forum Erekdale Writing Discussions 6 years, 8 months ago
Short and sweet this week, because we’re hitting this question pretty late in the week. (Obligatory post of The Document for Questions.)
What is your favorite character quirk that you have ever come across or come up with in your writing/reading travels?

Ereki!
I’ve been taking a bit of a breather because I got woefully behind on some of my article writing duties as intern. Also I got sick somewhere in there. Nasty fever. But now I’m all better. π
Anyway, trying to pick things up where I left them a week or so ago. I think what we’ll do is create a google doc for the submitting of questions,…[Read more]

Martin Detwiler replied to the topic New Member! in the forum Announcements 6 years, 8 months ago
NEW MEMBER ANNOUNCEMENT!
I’ve got two new initiates here who have been given access to Erekdale and may already be wandering among us, as yet faceless and silent. O.o But don’t worry, it’s only been a few days, so they haven’t had a chance to work out all our secrets yet.
Erekdale, let’s all welcome @tinuviel and @tashah-claymore to the guild! I…[Read more]

@princess-foo Remind me of Jottopia…
@morreafirebird *strokes beard* I really like this.
So what would be a good way to implement this? Would I ask the questions, or would everyone be free to post a question at any time?

Hello Ereki!
Just popping in to bring a little more visibility to our plans for having a monthly video chat. So far, I have quite a few names on my list of interested participants:

Hello Ereki!
First of all, an apology for my radio silence for all of last week. A couple things in my personal life went wonky and I allowed that to overrun my responsibilities to you all, and for that I do apologize.
Second, the Writing Life series of Weekly Discussions has come to a conclusion! We’ve covered a lot of ground and a huge variety…[Read more]

Welcome, Erekdale, to another edition of Weekly Wonderings!
This time around, I have a question to answer from The Document. It’s another submission from @princess-foo (thank you for the questions!), and this time it’s a little more personal.

Hello Ereki!
Welcome to the month of August and to the creation of our weekly goals thread! This is the unofficial logbook of our intended goals as writers (and people in general) so that we can open up and have a sense of fellowship and mutual encouragement as we pursue our individual writing projects.
I’m taking over this week for @emgc (who…[Read more]

Martin Detwiler replied to the topic Week 20: Writing Life; Being MORE than a Writer (Jane Maree) in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 6 years, 9 months ago
I write poetry, which is still being a writer, I suppose. But it’s a lot different from writing stories. Other than that, I don’t really have any active hobbies. But there’s a whole list of skills I want to learn: graphic design, composing, calligraphy, sketching/drawing, self-defense/martial arts, welding, CDL license (semi-truck driving :P),…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren Cool! I have a little bit of 1 in me as well. I’m a 9 w 1. π
@morreafirebird I personally have found Enneagram much more personally helpful than MBTI – and I’m looking forward to using it in understanding my characters better – and how to give them realistic patterns of growth, depending on the personality that they are.

@emgc Sure thing! I’ll make sure to add this to my Monday blitz of posts. XD Oh! And I get to start a new month page. π
I survived work! And… have kind of finished my other stuff. Well, I definitely finished the new article, and am going to tackle the editing one today and tomorrow. π

CONGRATULATIONS, Erekdale! Once again, I step out of the writing process, and we win. XD I’m beginning to see a pattern here. You guys are awesome. Each and every one of you.
Thank you all for your involvement – both with the first attempt that ended up going nowhere, and with the second story.
I also heartily second the mentor speech that @princ…[Read more]
