@devastate-lasting Fair enough ๐ Cute babies on the plane are definitely a worthy excuse.
You’ve got a set of excellent goal, too.
@sageinthemeadow Thank you! This week has been better already, and I don’t have to wake up quiiiiite as early. 5:30 for the past few days.
I’m so glad to hear that you got writing done last week! More power to you!…[Read more] -

Weekly wondering:
Not so much a question this time, but a tiny little writing prompt that I just remembered from my school days. I’ll search up what I wrote When I Was Very Young and share it when I get a chance this week. But for now, I’m going to sit back and listen to your best arguments:

Soooooo, here we are with the official call to state your goals, dreams, hopes, desires, and pledge me the life of your first-born….. HOLD ON. Nope. Just weekly goals (this time). *evil laugh*
Sorry that I’m weird. Y’all didn’t know what you were in for when I stepped into the Guildmaster chair. XD Yes, stepped into (not sat upon). ๐

@filewriter and @inkspiller Thank you both for jumping on this so quickly!
@kelly-lundgren I’m sorry I couldn’t get to this right away. I know you have already submitted this story to the contest, but if you would like further feedback I can get to it this week. ๐

Martin Detwiler replied to the topic Prompt War: dream sequence in the forum Events & Guild Maintenance 7 years, 4 months ago
Last chance to edit our submission for the Prompt War!
We have until midnight tonight, at which time I will port the story (in whatever state it is in) to a different document so that we can’t keep tweaking it.
I think it’s quite safe to say that @hope-ann did a fantastic job with the story. However, there are a few places where it feels a tiny…[Read more]

No problem! I only hope that I helped well.

In answer to your questions (as I continue my flurry of edits):
1) Reasonably so, but they’re all still a little shallow at the moment. Given the short story format and presumed word limit, the best way to deepen their characters is to use a unique voice for each character, keeping in mind each character’s primary motivation /…[Read more]

Hey, hope this is not too late – I’m looking at it right now, doing line by line suggestions and edits.

@kelly-lundgren, Yes, I will get to this as soon as I can. I’ve been pretty busy, but I should have time. I’ll try my best to help you in any way I can.

Hey, Ereki!
I finished my assignment of writing a dream sequence and have pasted it into the docu above. Now we get to work on it together and make it a masterpiece to carry us to victory. Not quite sure how it goes from here except that we all pitch in. But yeah, go read it. Make comments. Do the thing. XD And above all, remember to laugh and…[Read more]

For work, health, and social reasons, I was constrained from being active in the guild last week, so I’m going to declare this thread The Place of Continued Discussion for Week 10.
In other words, I’d love to see more of my peeps participating in this discussion about belief’s, because it ties into theme on a very fundamental level andย will make…[Read more]

Oh, dear me! I love everyone’s take on that last question. XD
Here’s this week’s query:
If you could become any animal for a week, what would it be (and why)?
Me? I would be a cheetah. They are really awesome. Basically, I could sleep most of the time, and if I wasn’t sleeping, I could run REALLY REALLY fast, and that would just be…[Read more]

My goals:
Write 30 minutes every day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone who has added and submitted to the document. I had a regrettably full, busy, and tiring week/weekend that left no time for any online work. I do apologize greatly for being so remiss as a Guildmaster. It really won’t do for me to go on like this.
But. Here I am. *sigh* So I suppose that’s what truly…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren Email or direct messaging? I feel like email might be easier. If you want to do that, just email my SE email Hope@Storyembers . org (without the spaces). ๐ That way I’ll have your email and we can go from there.

Hope Ann replied to the topic Introduce Yourself Again in the forum Erekdale Writing Discussions 7 years, 4 months ago
@kelly-lundgren Ah. I kinda wondered about that from your previous reply. And I suspect there are different kinds of beliefs within your church same as there are different denominations within mine, so one thing doesn’t apply to everyone. ๐
From what little I do know, my term for Christian is probably a bit narrower than yours so it’s probably a…[Read more]

Hope Ann replied to the topic Introduce Yourself Again in the forum Erekdale Writing Discussions 7 years, 4 months ago
@kelly-lundgren Eh, Church of Latter Day Saints isn’t really Christian unless you’re using the term in a very broad way that includes all cults that reference the Bible in some manner. But normally, the term Christian churches or authors are those who are actually Christian (i.e. believe what the Bible says, that Jesus is God and our salvation is…[Read more]
