@karthmin thanks!  I really like yours, too!

My job hasn’t really given me inspiration for my writing but I do remember this one time I saw a guy who kinda looked like one of my characters.  So that was cool.

@karthmin Honestly I forgot this corner of the forum existed. There have been several times where I have wanted to rant about a book I have read recently. This is the place to do it. I’ll start some rants off right now.

1. I was reading this book called Delia’s Shadow about this MC who could see ghosts. I got about five chapters into it before I…[Read more]

@tashah-claymore @kelly-lundgren @devastate-lasting Excellent quirks, all of you! Personally, I have to say that my favorite quirk is dry humor delivered with a dead-pan expression.

Today’s Weekly Wondering is……

Has your job ever given you writing inspiration?

Kree! Today is the last day of the Word War! So be sure to submit all the words you wrote this week, from the 2nd to tonight at midnight. Every little bit counts! Even 11 words…

(it should’ve been 12. That’s how you now it’s non-canon… 😛 [We have some new members so I decided to put this picture here again.])

And if you put your word…[Read more]

@karthmin I know there isn’t a sign-up sheet for the critique yet, but I was wondering if I could go first? I have a short story in the final stage of editing, and I want to finish it up and move on.

Here is a link to the doc. It’s fine if we go with something else, but since you normally post on Mondays I thought I would try to get it out.

Just a quick reminder that the Word War is over halfway over, so be sure to write some words! Every little bit adds up and sometimes that’s the little bit that helps us win.

If you want to update your counts throughout the week on the spreadsheet leaderboard.

@karthmin

*feels slightly guilty as I was originally in charge of critique*

I would actually like to do this! I have a completed short story that was too long for the contest but I would like to show some people and receive feedback, so…add me to the list.

@karthmin I won’t be able to make it at that time but I would love to join the server!

Thanks for the welcome, @karthmin!

@catwing Why hello again!

Guys, I am totally clueless as to how this whole guild thing works. I’ll probably take a few days to get my feet under me, but I’m pleased to meet ya’all and I will hopefully be a fully functioning Ereki within a week or so. I am, alas, childless and uninsured. I promise to be careful…[Read more]

@karthmin I love this idea! I actually have a finished draft of a short story that I’ve been meaning to show to more than two people, and was just thinking of posting it in the guild. 😀

(I also realllly enjoy critiquing, so I’m excited for both aspects of this xD)

@karthmin I like this idea! I would sign up.

Kree! Kree! Ereki! *Throws feathers* Welcome to Erekdale! And just in time too! There’s a Word War going on (info here) and we are getting a space station! 😀
I’m actually the Word Master of our guild, so that means I do the Word War stuff. :3

@tinuviel You look like a familiar nightingale from a certain sarcastic cabin… Hello again!…[Read more]

@karthmin this sounds like a great idea!

I’d definitely be willing to post some of my own work for critique, as well as critique other’s work.  I don’t have a ton of time for reading through other’s work, but if it’s short-ish or moderate length-ish I could probably provide a good (helpful and constructive) critique about it.

The sign-up sheet…[Read more]

@karthmin

That sounds really good 😀 I’d definitely be down for it 😀

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?
