@kelly-lundgren Aw, yeah, that really stinks.  I’m glad you were able to write some, though.  I’ll be praying you’ll be able to break through this dry spot!

@devastate-lasting Great!

How did everyone else do with their goals last week?  Mine went okay. I did reading and some drawing and practicing, but sadly didn’t work at all on my no…[Read more]

Last call for editing everyone! I think it could use some more “mystery” elements, but it’s very good.

I’m back everybody! I had a great week at camp, but now I have returned to continue the battle against our foe. Thanks for taking over for me @karthmin.

Confession time. After reading the Hangouts chat for the war yesterday, I was fully expecting this post to be a “We fought hard but it looks like we won’t make a submission this month, and that’s…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting How has writing/drawing/homework been going?  What have you been drawing lately? (I was supposed to draw this week, but I’ve not gotten myself around to it… :P)

@kelly-lundgren Has writing and drawing been going well for you this week? I know you said on the chat that you’ve been struggling with writer’s block– have you had…[Read more]

@karthmin

I know I’m on hiatus but I just had to pop in and answer this question!

My favourite animals have always been a tie between otters, elephants and mastiff dogs. I would ride all of them, if the otters and the mastiffs were big enough.

I’m pretty certain I do not have any sweaters…I’m not actually sure though since we don’t use the…[Read more]

@lady-frosttongue @kelly-lundgren @princess-foo @devastate-lasting

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]

@kelly-lundgren @devastate-lasting That’s awesome, guys!

@kelly-lundgren How have your writing goals been going this week? Hope you had fun at the wedding. 🙂

@karthmin How have your goals been going so far?

@sageinthemeadow How has editing and plotting been going for you this week?

@devastate-lasting Glad to have you back. 🙂 How have your goals gone this week? (Also, I love the Owl City quote 😃)

@karthmin yes, that does make sense. I knew my tired brain was missing something there xD

That get together would be AWESOME! Not sure how it would work out, but maybe have it in several different places so people from the west coast don’t have to go all the way to the east coast, and vice versa. Hopefully one day in the future something like…[Read more]

@princess-foo @karthmin  Yes, I would love to be in the Hangout so you can go ahead and add my email to it. And yes, you did the right email.

I can be a writer or an editor, whichever you need me to be. I’m glad that we both have big families so we can relate on that XD.

Also, I love the watermelon vines, those are some of my favorites. So…[Read more]

@caserola @karthmin I have vaguely heard of vines, but I don’t know what they are. Are they like memes?

We did a lot of brainstorming yesterday! We got more detail down than we normally do for these wars, but I think that is important for a mystery.

If no one has any more suggestions then we can get started writing tomorrow. A couple of people expressed an…[Read more]

@karthmin

I’ve been suddenly transported to another universe you say? Well, it’s a good thing I have prepared for just such an occasion. A couple of years ago I wrote an entire guide called “A Guide to Surviving Sudden Transportation into Another Universe and Making it Back to Your Own in Mostly One Piece” because I thought it was funny and I was…[Read more]

@karthmin its so cool that we have a lot of things in common, I can already tell you’re a great guild master.

I do ballet, I really like hip-hop and I did tap for a little while. I mostly do hip-hop and I like to make up dances. I have a youtube channel where I post sermons that I make and dance videos. My oldest sister is 21 and my youngest…[Read more]

@karthmin A SE Guild gettogether like that would be super awesome! I would probably lose at all of those things, but I would lose super awesomely!

I am looking forward to the changes to the guild.

We need to start making brainstorming decisions. The deadline for brainstorming is Friday. So, I have made up a victim, setting, half-a-motive, and weapon. Feel free to stop me if you have another idea. We can tweak it as much as needed.

Backstory: Ison Crow is the Mayor of [Placeholder Town. Perhaps E-ville]. He invites the elite of the town to…[Read more]

@karthmin @morreafirebird I don’t really know where I was going with this, but here are some thoughts from me.

Going off of the live-interacting-helps-friendships, I think the thing that brought me closest to Erekdale was the Hangouts chats. Spending an hour quoting Marvel at each other was really fun. There isn’t a lot of time to think and…[Read more]

@karthmin

Hmm, I like that idea, but (and this might just be my sleep-deprived brain) I’m not sure how it would help forge closer writing communities. It seems it may just help writers learn and grow in their skills, which is great in itself, though may not help the community aspect much. If I’m totally missing the point, please do explain more,…[Read more]
