@kelly-lundgren That’s great, I’m glad you’ve had such a good week! 😀

Hey guys! How did your goals go last week? I did pretty good with mine, I think. Better than usual. I just didn’t really draw… like pretty much at all…

So… what are your goals for this week?

This is my first week back to school, so I don’t really have much else…[Read more]

Hey all!  I’m back now! I had a wonderful time (got to visit with my nephews!), but I’m ready to get back into things here (and man, it feels like I missed a lot in a short amount of time– looks like I have a lot to catch up on!)

Thanks @karthmin for filling in for me! I know you’re busy enough as it is.

How did everyone do with their goals…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>@karthmin I think I am called to write. It’s what I have wanted to do since second grade. Sometimes I wonder how exactly writing and editing fantasy fiction is supposed to advance the kingdom of God, but that is the path I am on right now.</p>
Of course, there is still time for life to throw me a major curveball and…[Read more]

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 camera. XD

Okay. Good to know. Thanks. 🙂

CONGRATULATIONS, Erekdale! Once again, I step out of the writing process, and we win. XD I’m beginning to see a pattern here. You guys are awesome. Each and every one of you.

Thank you all for your involvement – both with the first attempt that ended up going nowhere, and with the second story.

I also heartily second the mentor speech that @princ…[Read more]

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

@karthmin I was thinking—part of the problem is that the guild masters don’t have enough time, right? Our guild helped that by making guild positions: Warmaster, Heartsinger, etc. Just by how much time I’ve spent on the prompt wars, they probably take up a lot of the guild master’s time. Maybe the other guilds could get positions too.

@karthmin That would be great, thanks!!! How have your writing goals been going so far? Hope you’ve been surviving work okay!

@kelly-lundgren How have your goals been going???

@ajaj2000 Cool! I don’t think I’ve ever read that series before.  How have your goals been going this week?

@catwing Neat! Glad you had a good time. 😀 It’s always a lot…[Read more]

Poor sweater….

Oh yes, I have heard of the enneagram! One of my fellow youth leaders is studying psychology and is obsessed with them, which led me to take a test. I am a 1…I think more specifically I was a 1w9 but I’m having a hard time remembering.

@karthmin
I’ve heard of it. I don’t really know much about it though. I finally took it… And it gave me three numbers… So I guess the second most accurate is the wing?
The numbers were 6, 2, & 9. In that order and I think that’s the order they go in…
So I guess I’m a 6w2 then?
For 6, one of the hard things was definitely accurate for…[Read more]

Sorry for another belated installment! 😅 Between an SE retreat, Realm Makers, and settling into my new job here, I’ve barely had time to catch my breath (hopefully August will be slower).

For those of you who have missed portions of this story, you can click here for the first installment, here for the second, here for the third, and here for t…[Read more]

@karthmin

we’re thinking about opening up the weekly discussions to the entire forum, and changing their structure – because it isn’t something that we have found pulls the guild together, and may in fact be more helpful to more people if it was carried out on the general forum.

I agree with them being on the general forum. I think. I don’t think…[Read more]

@karthmin I am on board for a rescue mission. Save the sweater!

I didn’t know what Enneagram was, but I took a test and apparently I am a 1w9. Or a 9w1. I don’t really know what that means. I looked at what a 1 was and what a 9 was and I think I fit 9’s better but I am mostly confused.

@karthmin your poor sweatshirt xD

@kelly-lundgen I’m a 1w2 as well! I’ve actually found the Enneagram to be a lot more helpful with characterization for my stories than MBTI. Especially because Sleeping At Last has songs for all the Enneagram types 😀

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]
