@karthmin thanks for the intro!  You for sure got my tag right.

If I ever have a son, I will be sure to surrender his soul to you. XD

And if anyone wants to ask questions about me/my writing I will be happy to oblige, especially if I get to ask questions of similar nature back.

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. 😀

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]

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]

Just a reminder that we are currently planning on holding a call this coming Monday (9th) at 6:00 pm EST.

The video platform we will use is the Discord App, on which we have an Erekdale server.

If you’re interested in joining in the call, tag me in this thread after getting the Discord app and setting up an account. I’ll get you a link to join…[Read more]

Sorry I missed posting this yesterday, guys… I meant to. >.<  I hope y’all had a great Labor Day weekend!

What are your goals for this week?

This week I hope to:

— Memorize verses for study group

— Work on short story

— Do some characterization

— Get some college stuff figured out

— Get ready for orchestra starting tomorrow

— Draw…[Read more]

Woo-hoo! We got some serious editing done. Thank you to everyone who helped out!

Tomorrow night is the deadline! Last chance for edits! We are currently FIVE words over the word limit of 2500 words. If the remaining tweaks don’t get it under, then we can just take out the title. (Amazing title, btw)

Here is the…[Read more]

@sageinthemeadow Awesome! Sounds like a productive week, then. 🙂 I think I did pretty well with my goals, all things considered.  School of course is always hectic starting up, but it wasn’t too bad.  I’m guessing you’re done with school now? I’m just assuming ’cause you seem older than me… 😛

@morreafirebird That’s great! I’m glad you’ve b…[Read more]

Alright, forget what I said about everything. We have the first draft. Jonathon ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT AND WROTE AN ENTIRE DRAFT IN AN AFTERNOON!!!!!!!!! (Sorry, I don’t know your username but I am NOT going to tag the wrong person again.) Everybody give a big round of applause for Jonathon! I have no words for how awesome this is. Thank you,…[Read more]

It’s time to start writing! Sorry I am getting this out so late in the day. In our brainstorming doc, we came up with a really awesome premise of a female alien attempting to romance a human. Unfortunately, it seems that we don’t have many people that can be a writer this month. It’s completely understandable—school is starting and August is a v…[Read more]

@karthmin So I went to the Jottopia website to link it in my post, and it’s gone! The website has expired and it’s twitter page is old.

But we can still do it without Jottopia, using Docs or something. The concept of Jottopia is that someone writes a little bit of a story, someone else writes the next little bit, and someone else writes the next.…[Read more]

@karthmin I think to keep it from getting too crazy or too stagnant, posting a question every week or every other week would be a good way to do it. Perhaps we could create a google form where we could submit questions (you included). Then, on a specific day every week or every other week, the question would be posted in this space.

It could also…[Read more]

@karthmin *rubs hands together* I have half an idea. Or more of a general inkling of something that will be cool.

I agree that the “old” weekly discussions were a lot of fun. I think part of what made them so was that it allowed us to express our understanding of certain subjects through discussion. It allowed a bit more of a “Socratic” learning…[Read more]

@karthmin Sounds good! I’m really hoping we can find a time that works for everyone, as I think this video call is going to be a lot of fun 😀 I’ll also keep trying to think of some ideas!

@princess-foo #relatable. I applied for college last minute and almost missed the enrollment deadline. 😛 If you don’t mind me asking, as you going to a…[Read more]

@karthmin There is that Jottopia thing I mentioned in the docs.

@karthmin When I filled out that form, I forgot that College was A Thing, and not only that, but it is A Thing that I am starting this fall. (To be fair, I didn’t know my schedule when I filled out the form. Lifehack: don’t switch colleges last minute. 3/10 would not recommend.) The time set up for the video call just so happens to be during the…[Read more]
