@allison-grace I really appreciate the way that you re-hashed what I said and gave some concrete examples from your own stories. 🙂 I liked this rant! You should go off on them more often. XD

@morreafirebird Heartily agree that motivation is one of the most important things to remember as a writer. Where does the arrow ultimately point the…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren Way to go! Keep it up!

Good evening, Ereki!

Today’s question comes from @sarah-inkdragon:

What’s your opinion on writing “realistic” books? Meaning as in the levels of gore, violence, etc. People seem to crave a realistic view to books and novels anymore, even in the fantasy genre, which has given rise to the ever-popular anti-hero. But where do you think you shoul…

The Word War is over. Don’t forget to turn in your word counts from Monday to Sunday. No matter how small they are. 🙂

@morreafirebird I really like your point that writing is actually predominantly thinking, because that works very well with the whole idea of maintaining the Artist’s Eye. That’s where the 75% comes in, thinking day by day, when we’re out in the world living our lives, accumulating an awareness for the beauty and truth illustrated all around us,…[Read more]

Ack! I’m so sorry! Yes, absolutely. I’ll put your tag on the master list! So sorry!!!

THIS IS THE MASTER LIST. If your tag is not on here, you can ride my dragon for an entire week. I’ll have to walk everywhere…

I like all the owl names, both original and those that are references. 😛

The past couple weeks, I’ve been thinking about what we’re trying to do with this whole weekly question thread, and I think I might want to start taking it in a new direction.

First off, no matter what direction we go (move to be more serious or remain mostly…[Read more]

Many thanks to those of you who pitched in with helpful tips and tricks for navigating the forums. *grins wide* It’s almost as if we’re operating like a family and everyone is pitching in to help. XD

@kelly-lundgren,

So, what I’ve found helpful is to try to conceive the story from the point of view of the antagonist – or write the story with the antagonist / villain AS the protagonist.

The antagonist has his / her goals just as the protagonists do, and has his or her reasons for why they’re right and the ‘heroes’ are wrong – or why a moral e…[Read more]

Guys, the first draft got finished!!!! *Happy dance* Honestly, I didn’t think we were going to finish it on time, and was preparing to slap on a “Then he believed in Jesus and lived happily ever after.” ending on. But the SUPER AMAZING @hope-ann swooped in and saved the day! We now have a story!

But it wasn’t just Hope-Ann that helped. I was…[Read more]

@princess-foo Ah… no. I didn’t. But I can do that for you. Is the deadline midnight on Sunday or midnight on Saturday and I hand it in Sunday.

Also, I’m off work, so if you guys want me to try to finish up the story this afternoon, I can try. Up to you though. @seekjustice and @kelly-lundgren

I added a comment of how it could continue forward. I could try to write a little bit and bring it to the next point but I don’t want to get in the way of the writers. What do you guys think/want? @seekjustice and @kelly-lundgren

Also, when I edit later–do I get to make changes directly to the text or do I need to comment?

Calling all the troops! (Except Karthmin. He isn’t invited.) @seekjustice and @kelly-lundgren need some help! The opening looks good but we don’t have that much written, and I would like the first draft to be done by Friday so we can edit over the weekend. The great thing about group projects is that when one person gets stuck, everyone else can…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren @seekjustice How is it going? Do you need any help?
