Thanks!
Howdy folks! Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving and I’m wondering if you all want to do one last word war before this month is over?

Dear Saxon Scribe,
Imagine you’re a Viking or one of those other early explorers of America. Since you were five, your grizzly uncle has told you stories about the time his vessel was blown off course and he spied afar off a coastland peeking through the mists.
Now, twenty years older, you sit on the prow of your boat and a wild country…[Read more]

Noah Litle started the topic Make Your Own Inspiration in the forum New Wessex Writing Discussions 7 years, 9 months ago
Just watched this video and thought it would be good to share it here.
It’s in a playlist about composing music, but I think this video is applicable to any creative process.
So, how do you guys “get in the way of inspiration”?

I wrote 2,772 words this week. That’s from last Sunday to Friday. Do the words we wrote on Sunday not count? Something you said earlier seemed to imply that.
If so, I wrote 197 words on Sunday. Making the total 2,575.
By the way, I just watched this YouTube video. Y’all need to check it out:

(sorry, @chalice)
Thanks, @bama-rose @literatureforthelight @daeus-lamb @msqueen8 @j-parkhurst @ethryndal @corissa !
@corissa That’s the idea that had been eluding me.
Thank you all again. I will try to come up with a name now. 🙂
I’ll let you know what I come up with.

Your welcome! And I’m so glad your making progress! That’s awesome, keep up the good work! 👏
Totally understand. 🙂 I do a fair amount of writing by hand as well, but then I always type it up so that I know the amount. But I understand that’s it’s kinda a hassle. No worries!
And glad to hear your…[Read more]

@msqueen8 — Thanks!
@literatureforthelight — I can’t imagine counting words on paper. I wrote about two pages because I had to, and it took me forever to count, and I had only written 4,00!! So I understand. 🙂

Eden Anderson replied to the topic To All My Fellow Non-NaNoWriMo Participants: A Suggestion 🖊️ in the forum Accountability & Achievements 7 years, 9 months ago
So it looks like @bama-rose creamed us. 😀 Good work to you and everybody else!
Okay, so if ya’ll want to do another mini-word war on here it started yesterday. Any words written from Monday morning till Sunday count. Like last time just give your word counts some time Sunday. (But since this isn’t official it doesn’t really matter when you do it.…[Read more]

Sorry I’m late guys, I completely forgot about this word war. I had 2,926 words.
I think that makes @bama-rose the winner. Here’s the word counts in order of appearance:
@bama-rose 6,395
@eden-anderson 1,541
@rosemarylouise 1,356
@chalice 448
@kate 1,342
@noahlitle 2,926I recon that puts me in second place. 😀

Daeus Lamb started the topic The awful dilemma: how to explain your story world in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 9 months ago
Hey Saxon Scribes,
To be honest, this post is more about me learning from you all then offering any great wisdom. When you have a complex story world, anything from a fantasy world or ancient Persia, you’ve probably faced this huge dilemma.
On the one hand, readers could be extremely confused (maybe they’ll even completely misinterpret what is…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb replied to the topic What do you want to study next? in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 9 months ago
Well guys, I really appreciate all this feedback. It looks like the three main topics everyone wants to hear about are theme, plot, and worldbuilding but worldbuilding got the most votes by a small margin. I’m thinking that’s what we’ll go with.
For those of you who write historical fiction, don’t worry! Yes, I’ll probably cover some aspects of…[Read more]

Alright, here’s this week’s word count for Good or Evil: 2,926 words added.
And the entire word count for Good or Evil rewrite is now up to 8,504 words. For those of you who were wondering. That’s almost three thousand words more than the original short story. I would guess I’m about half way through. We’ll see.
Thanks for all y’all’s su…[Read more]

I stop at the kitchen door. Germaine and Grace nearly run into me.
There’s something I have to see. I poke my head in the kitchen.
It’s large, and spacious. Plenty of counter and cabinet space. An Island.
And, sure enough, a fishbowl with a goldfish sitting on the counter. He swims in a circle, exploring his wonderful world.
I smile and…[Read more]

Noah Litle started the topic Name That City! in the forum New Wessex Writing Discussions 7 years, 9 months ago
Hey, guys!
I need some ideas. I have a city that needs a name.
So, the city is a kind of modern (think early 1900s) city, but with an ancient roman/middle eastern twist. That basically means they have an arena for ancient roman style games and an open marketplace squeezed between industrial brick.
Fire away!
Hit me.
I’m open to any…[Read more]
