@devastate-lasting  Awesome! That’s so great. 🙂

@karthmin Yeah… I know what it’s like to have a week like that.  Maybe try again this week, huh? 😉

How did everyone else’s goals go? I think mine went… okay… I got most of them done, anyway.  And I felt like I was pretty productive this week in general, so that satisfies me. 🙂

What are yo…[Read more]

@karthmin
I’m kinda late, but anyway.
(Note: This sort of turned into a bunch of rants about my imagination… But oh, well. Maybe it will make sense or something. So yeah.)
I have a pretty good imagination, so while I definitely don’t have aphanthisa, I don’t think my imagination is as vivid as someone with hyperphantasia.
I can sort of imagine…[Read more]

It is time to draw our swords/pens and begin battle in earnest! We are ready to start writing! Thank you 3000 to everyone who offered to write—I was worried that @karthmin would be writing it himself, but several people have volunteered to help. Thank you! That said, if you haven’t yet volunteered to write but want to, or find yourself with a s…[Read more]

@morreafirebird, @princess-foo, @devastate-lasting

Yes! Trying once again!
Just blew out the first draft like a madman. I had the idea and the outline and inspiration. Gosh my butt hurts – I’ve been sitting or squatting to write since 6 this morning. Praise God above for this – I haven’t felt this inspired in months, if not years.

Only…[Read more]

Hey Ereki!

I have a prayer request. Life for me and my family is a bit of a hurricane right now; my brother and I are filling out college applications and trying to decide where we want to go to school, we’re in the process of moving to a place seven hours away, and I just got a job offer (starting on the 22nd) in said-place that would require me…[Read more]

We got a lot done on chat last night. We worked out the style, tone and problem of our story. To sum it all up:  The story will be told like it is a video game, although the fact that it is a game is not directly mentioned.

Ready? Let’s begin.

<You approach the testing chamber. [Description placeholder because it will take me too long to come up…

@karthmin Yes. Erekdale has done amazing!

I forgot to post the doc again.
So here it is for anyone who wants to look at the records. 🙂

@karthmin

Wow, that was interesting! It reminds me of something I discovered lately–face blindness. I wonder if they’re closely related? Face-blindness seems to be the inability to immediately recognize or remember an individual person’s unique features, which is kind of similar to what is in the article is some ways.

I have partially…[Read more]

@princess-foo Okay. *nods* See you later then.

@Hope-ann Gotcha.

@morreafirebird Yay! Sorry you can’t make it though.

@karthmin Thank you.
Hopefully you can make it. 🙂
*looks around for a weapon* *raises paw and extends claws* Yeah! For Erekdale, alive and well! Kree! Kree!

@karthmin

That was a really interesting article! I’m pretty sure I don’t have aphantasia, but I find it hard to visualise people, especially my character. I rely heavily on actors and models to base my characters off, as I really just can’t imagine what they look like. I remember one time, with a main character, I always said she had blonde hair…[Read more]

Oi. Thanks for the reminder, @catwing!

So, first off, I think I’ll post the link to the google doc every week, so it’s really easy to access and fresh in people’s memories. (The google doc for asking questions, that is.)

But until I get more questions in there, I’ll keep asking you guys a question each week.

How vivid is your imagination?

Hey guys!  What are your goals for this week?

As for me:

– Edit

– Finish painting

– Perform well on Friday

– Meet my running goal

– Beta-read

Proverbs 16:3 “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”

We got third. *throws feathers* Great job everyone! We were only 516 words ahead of 4th. That was a close one. So no matter how small your…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Yay!

@morreafirebird That’s good! (Exactly what I was thinking. :D)

@hope-ann Yes. *nods*
I’m thinking that we could do some on the forum and some on Hangouts. I don’t know how we should go about planning them or who should do that (I guess I could if that’s okay?). It should probably be planned a few days before when they…[Read more]

I have an idea…
What if when schedule write-ins (or whatever we call it)?
Where we just schedule a time for a bunch of us to hop on and just write or roleplay or talk or something together. Some on Hangouts, some here.
It probably wouldn’t work for everyone every time. But I think if we don’t it on the same day and same time, every week it can…[Read more]
