@seekjustice Thanks! And I’m glad!

@tashah-claymore Great!

@lady-frosttongue That’s great! (And I just added you. 🙂 )

My goals:

— Participate in word war!

— Catch up on math homework

I’ve been thinking, as part of this subforum, that we could try a  book club type thing. Us all reading the same book would be too much, but we could do something like what my mum’s book club does and try making a theme or genre for each month (such as fantasy, sci-fi, or a book with a movie adaption) and then each month we could all…[Read more]

Along the lines of this discussion, I’m wondering if anyone here has struggled with portraying true femininity in their stories. In most of my books, I find myself putting a sword or a bow in a woman’s hand in order to keep her engaged in the main conflict (particularly the climax). Otherwise, she’s on the sidelines. While I certainly don’t…[Read more]

I love that you were able to give some insights into Tolkien’s and Lewis’ personal lives to show how it affected their view of women! I really had no idea about any of that. Could you recommend any particular biographies on them? I’m definitely interested in learning more 😀

Your point regarding Tolkien idolizing women is…[Read more]

@tashah-claymore I’ve actually never experienced encountering one of my characters in real life. 🙁 That must have been fun. XD

@hope-ann I believe it! So many people, and for some reason you see the biggest cross-section of characters when they’re congregating in one place and are All Very Hungry. XD

@emgc *laughs* I’m totally the same way.…[Read more]

Love all of these quotes so much, @princess-foo! These are all definitely in my top favorite LotR quotes.

Speaking of which, I wrote a thing about Lord of the Rings (and C. S Lewis) the other day. Seems like an appropriate place to share it, even though it’s basically an essay. XD

Hello everyone!

Let’s all welcome @bree-dawn to! She is our FINAL ADDITION to Erekdale! That’s right, this guild has ceased expanding and we’re now on cruise control, so to speak.

Anyway, let’s give Bree a warm welcome today, and get her accustomed to our craziness. 😀

@caserola Here’s a link to where you can sign up for NaNo: https://nanowrimo.org/sign-up

I meant the link to your story. 🙂

@kelly-lundgren Yeah I’ve had that happen. 😉

@tashah-claymore Great! I hope you do well in the competition. 🙂 And that’s awesome! I’ve been playing around 3 1/2-4 years as well.  Have you ever played for…[Read more]

@tashah-claymore How has reading/writing been going? Music? Art? (Super awesome to know another cello player! How long have you been playing?)

@kelly-lundgren How has writing been going this week?

@filewriter Awesome! What’s your username on NaNo? I’ll add you as a buddy. 🙂 How have art and writing been going this week?

@caserola Great! Well,…[Read more]

@hope-ann Great! Sounds like a busy week.

@caserola Yeah, I could probably do that. 🙂 Are you looking for more general critiques, or would you like me to critique grammar/prose/pacing as well?

@devastate-lasting That’s good then! Hope school’s been okay. 🙂

Okay, guys!  Time to once again post your goals for the week.  I hope this has b…[Read more]

@tinuviel I’m glad you’ve had success with worldbuilding! It’s always exciting when everything starts falling into place. 😀  My goals have been going pretty well, thanks! I had a significant breakthrough with my world building as well, and while I wasn’t really able to finish my other writing goals, I’m happy with the progress I made. I didn’t…[Read more]

Just checking in!

@ajaj2000 How are your writing goals coming along this week?

@kelly-lundgren How has scheduling been going?

@tashah-claymore How have all your writing goals been going this week? Music? Drawing? Schoolwork? (It’s really cool your developing your own language! I’ve always wanted to try conlang.)

@tinuviel How has writing and…[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.
