I put my name down for Tues, Thurs, and Fri evenings in the write-in schedule document.

About video chats: there is always the option to simply not have one’s camera on and only participate via voice. No one would be offended, and your cat wouldn’t have to suffer obesity by being fed treats all the time just to sit still in front of the…[Read more]

Hello everyone!

Just a reminder to start things off: I am always taking questions on The Document for You to Ask Me Writing Questions. If there are multiple unanswered questions, I will answer one per week. If there are no questions at all, I will ask you a question – either humorous, ice-breaker, or a more serious writing question. You never…[Read more]

I love your responses! Definitely laughed at yours, Devastate. XD

Today we are going to tackle a rather simpler get-to-know-you question to help get some of our newer members up to speed.

What is your favorite animal, would you ride it if you could, and how many colors are…[Read more]

Hey guys!

It’s time to begin writing in earnest! We’ve got our plot in place and at least one writer has volunteered to take up the reins here. We do need more writers (if you already volunteered and I missed your name, I dearly apologize). But we are clear to go, and need to make progress on this puppy so we can unleash our editors.

But first,…[Read more]

@caserola Yeah, that’s awesome you have a big family, too. And thanks!

I have eight brothers and two sisters – so a very different gender mix than your family. XD

Those are all awesome kinds of dancing! And I have zero experience with any of those. 😆 But I have seen some hip-hop dance videos on YouTube and it’s a pretty awesome artform. That’s…[Read more]

@morreafirebird The initial post was probably a little confusing as to why exactly we’re considering some changes. The reasoning behind the guild weekly discussions (from the get-go) was to help foster a close sense of community within the guilds. However, we’ve found that the weekly discussions aren’t really a tool that helps community develop in…[Read more]

@caserola Hello and welcome to Erekdale!

What kind of dancing do you like? I’ve done a fair amount of regency, square, and swing dancing over the years (never consistently, though).

And nine other siblings! That’s awesome. I have ten siblings, so we have you beat by one sibling. 😛 What is the age range in your family? My oldest sister is 37 and…[Read more]

@hope-ann Having a place where we can jot down our random ideas is definitely a big part of maintaining and finding inspiration. As you said, it’s something we do much more on our own, but it definitely relates to the whole subject. I have an app on my phone that I use to take down random moments of inspiration or ideas that strike me out of…[Read more]

@princess-foo You’re welcome! Glad I could provide a new angle to the discussion. And btw, I personally find the storyline of Character B more sympathetic. I don’t think I can say it is objectively more sympathetic. Reading over what I wrote above, I may have been a little imprecise in some of my wording about Character A’s…[Read more]

Broadly speaking, my goals are to:

-bring polish to my current in-the-works article

-brainstorm my next article

-write actual fictional stuff XD

Thank you for getting the ball rolling, @princess-foo! As always, you are a peerless leader of our battles, and a true champion for Erekdale. 😛 Keep it up!

Hit up the Hangouts chat for more discussion and brainstorming, y’all! We’ve found that where the majority of ideas are exchanged. Also, the document itself is usually a good place for that, too. 🙂

Hello again, Ereki!

Boy, you are all getting a whole bunch of emails from all the tagging I’m doing tonight. XD I promise, there won’t be a whole lot more of them. Tonight. 😛

But anyway, I’m happy to announce that we have two new guildlings with us!

Please welcome @michael_stanton and @caserola! Because this is so close on the heels of our…[Read more]
