This week’s post is about How to know if you’re called to be a writer written by Daeus

Hey guys, this is a short post teasing a pretty big project Story Embers will be launching soon. I’ve condensed this lesson from part of that project.

Does God have plans for each one of us? Of course he does. He has “good works prepared” for us to do.

Today’s topic is about Gathering Inspiration from Others and was written by Maddie.

At different points in our writing journey, we find ourselves more or less empty of ideas. This can happen in between projects, or in the middle of a project. I’m not talking about writer’s block, though that is related; I’m talking more specifically about simpl…[Read more]

Here is the weekly discussion for you guys!

It’s Okay to be not just a Writer

For the first ten – twelve years of my life, I went through a lot of different versions of “I want to be a -BLANK- when I grow up.”

I want to be a superhero. I want to be a firefighter. I want to be a donkey. You know, the classic old things everyone wants to becom…[Read more]

Today’s writing life topic is about dealing with multiple ideas. Have you ever had to do any of this?

Most writers have more story ideas than they know what to do with. If you’re in this boat, you need to know how to cut through the clutter and make the right decisions. Here are a few things I’ve learned that have helped me.

We have a new writing prompt war! This time it is an interesting one. We get to write a mystery. Have fun!

Avensers assemble!

As you’ve noticed, activity has been pretty low here. Same with the other guilds.

That’s fine if everyone’s busy, but if it’s just because the guilds weren’t attractive enough…

Well, we should do something about that then.

After talking it over with some of the other SE staff, we have an idea. This isn’t a premade decis…[Read more]

Today’s topic is Gathering Inspiration from Others by Martin

Today’s topic is about how to deal with procrastination and was written by yours truly.

Procrastination. It’s a nasty little dragon that often grows ginormous at the most inconvenient times. For instance, the last week of NaNoWriMo. It will bring in other things such as a new shelf that needs a place in the living room which facilitates an entire…[Read more]

What are your goals for this week?

My goals this week are to finish the VBS skit editing, write 1 page in LLM per day, write 250 words in ILTS, and edit CTF for about 10 hours this week.

This week’s topic is about how to handle critiques and criticism. I think you will find it helpful. It was written for Maddie.

Letting others see our work is probably one of the hardest parts of being a writer. That’s our heart and soul out there at the mercy of prying eyes.

It’s probably one of the most essential parts of writing tho…[Read more]
