THE LEAGUE OF INCREDIBLE MEERKATS WON AGAIN!!!!

I’m SO proud of how all of you chipped in so willingly and enthusiastically to edit my draft, and it was just the best to see such a great group effort. (And to those who didn’t get a chance to help out–don’t worry about it, you still get the…[Read more]

WE HAVE A NEW MEERKAT IN OUR RANKS!! The lovely @elizabeth is joining us, and I’m so excited to have her here!

She’s already decided that Meraki is the best guild ever so I think that’s off to a good start… 😂

Anyway–Welcome and thrice welcome to Elizabeth!! *throws…[Read more]

And here we are on the second week already. It might just be me, but my goodness I feel like each week is passing so quickly, halp.

Onto the next chat about theme!

(NOTE: if you didn’t read last week’s lesson, you’d best hop over to that, because this follows on directly and could be confusing without background.)

Since theme is the base…[Read more]

Jane Maree replied to the topic PROMPT GUILD WAR – Mona Lisa Comedy! in the forum Announcements 8 years ago

OKAY I WROTE A FIRST DRAFT, GUYS.

At first I wasn’t totally convinced, but I think it ended up at least a tiny bit funny. 😛 It might not be a normal comedy, but I think it’s a good start. Better than nothing at least.

NOW IT’S TIME FOR EDITS! We’ve only got about four days, so edit away. Please add your edits in suggestions/comments so that we…[Read more]

Jane Maree started the topic {Story Theory – Week 1} What is Theme? in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 1 month ago

Welcome to our first week on STORY THEORY! *hands out pizza*

So I was going to do today’s post about plotters vs pantsters, but I’d gotten halfway through and I kept getting hooked up on how to describe something because plot isn’t the beginning foundation that most people consider it to be.

The fact is that theme is the solid core that all…[Read more]

I’m excited for this.

I’m going to be honest with you: I put off doing this topic for a long time for no good reason at all, but NOW I’M FINALLY DOING IT.

Basically…we’re going to develop a fictional world for our guild.

I personally thought “wow, this won’t help us write more words.” and while that is completely true, it still isn’t totally useless. I think we…[Read more]

Jane Maree started the topic {2018 – Week 18} PROSE RECAP + Intro to our next topic! in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 1 month ago

It’s been 18 weeks since the first time I wrote up a guild lesson/discussion post all the way back in June.

And now I have officially exhausted my internal list of things to cover under the guise of prose, so we’re going to move on to a NEW topic! Before that, I’m going to quickly recap everything we’ve done to do with prose so far. I have full…[Read more]

Jane Maree started the topic {2018 – Week 17} Writing from the POV of the Opposite Gender in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 1 month ago

Writing from the POV (point of view) of someone of the opposite gender can be challenging to do realistically, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. If you’re a girl, writing from a girl’s perspective will naturally come easier simply because girls know how girls think. And vice versa for dudes. However, sometimes you don’t want to write fro…[Read more]

Okay, I’m not going to lie, I had a bit of a mental scream when I realised it was almost 6 pm (in my timezone) and I hadn’t written the week’s topic yet. I brainstormed ideas and came up with a whole lot of nothing much.

And so here I am. And this week I’m ~~being lazy~~ asking you guys for some feedback!

– Am I doing okay with our weekly topics?
