@catwing Hmm… No, you’re right, I’m sure I could improve it somehow… It has gotten a bit boring lately. I’ll try thinking up some ideas over these next couple weeks, but let me know if you come up with any suggestions!

@princess-foo I have enjoyed word wars for the same reason – I’m much more focused on the story as it flows, rather than the individual words. I get a lot more done, but I’m also much less satisfied with that draft. XD
@seekjustice Those sound like awesome motivations! I asked for a whiteboard this year for my birthday and I’ve found it so…[Read more]

Hello Ereki!
Here we are at the beginning of another week, ready to tackle another aspect of our Writing Life. Maddie Morrow has some words to say about how to handle critiques and criticism, so without any further ado here is what she said:

Princess Foo replied to the topic Prompt War: Beauty in the Ordinary in the forum Events & Guild Maintenance 6 years, 10 months ago
So, in the interest of A Decision Needs To Be Made, I am going to say that since @seekjustice is our writer, and she already has a plan, we are going to go with her idea.
@the-inkspiller I appreciate the work you put into your outline, but I think it will be easier for seekjustice to write her story idea rather than to write someone else’s story…[Read more]

Write a story where you bring out the beauty of something ordinary in the middle of a very dramatic setting.
So… we need to decide our setting and premise. Today, if possible, so @seekjustice can start writing tomorrow. Seekjustice, you said you had an idea you wanted to flesh out. Is that ready? @filewriter also came up with some good…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren That’s what I was thinking when I first suggested multiple writers, but I think this way is worth a try. If it turns out it doesn’t work, then we can go back to multiple writers next month. You could still edit?
