@lady-frosttongue That’s a really good angle, viewing magical powers as a gift given by the Giver to be stewarded in the protection and betterment of those who cannot. With great power comes great responsibility (oh yeah, in case you hadn’t picked up on it before, Spiderman’s main personal ethic is like 100% Christian).
And you’re right, making…[Read more]

K.M. Small started the topic A Confusing Post to Eliminate Confusion in the forum Erekdale Writing Discussions 6 years, 10 months ago
Hey Ereki! I’m making some changes with my pen name and wanted to have a quick post to eliminate any confusion.
I’ll keep this short: I’m changing my pen name. Or more accurately, getting rid of it, since I’ve run into a lot of confusion in the past regarding my pen name versus my given name, especially at writers conferences and while marketing…[Read more]

@princess-foo *nods* Yeah, I should’ve tried to do more write-ins, but I was graduating too. Yay! 😛
Maybe if we keep trying we’ll be able to get more people to do it. I hope so at least. I’ll try to do more than just one next time. 😀

Has everyone turned in their word counts? If you haven’t yet, now would be a good time. 🙂
Also how do you think I’m doing as the Word Master. Is there something I could improve on?

I’m still on vacation, so this is short.
Yes.
I wrote a short article. 😂
Typing vs. Writing by hand
Things I’ve learned from my own experience with both mediums:
Typing:
Pros:
Typing is faster.
Typing is much easier to edit and clean your prose as you go along.
Cons:
I find myself easily slipping into editor mindset, and making new…[Read more]

Hey Ereki!
I just finished up some edits for my story for the SE contest, so I’m hoping to get some beta readers to look over it!
Below is the link to the google doc plus some specific things I’m looking for critique on. It’s fantasy, about 4k, and contains clean romance and mild blood and gore.
Thank you in advance to anyone who has time to…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren That’s awesome! Growing up, I wasn’t super open with my family about my stories, for some reason. It may have had to do with a rather negative reception to the first short story that I showed my parents… it was a bit violent (and had a secret message to my then-crush). XD They said I had to take it off my blog.

Good news! @karthmin got busy and wrote a bunch last night! We are now at ~1800 words and at the climax. The reason for this update is that we are at a crossroads.
