Ahh gotcha! Definitely agree that the money is a big obstacle.
Do you mean Hangouts? If so, then yes. I don’t feel comfortable sharing my email on here since it’s a public site, but you could definitely get it from Bekah.
Haha that’s totally understandable. Hallmark can be *sorta* fun, even if the plot is a bit too predictable.

That’s all right! I know you have a life. 😉 Oh okay! That makes sense.
Aww I’m glad you liked it! *hugs*
Nice!! I’ve also been writing for about two years as well. Ooh the Italian novel sounds really interesting.
Aww thank you! I’d appreciate you following along!

Hi Michelle! It’s so awesome to meet you. 🙂 I’ve heard bits and pieces about you from Bekks, so it’s great that we’re finally talking!
Btw…how did you know that I knew Bekah? I’m just curious. 😉
I’ve been writing for…two years now? And I’ve been a member of SE since it began, so a little over a year ago. And before that I was part of…[Read more]

Wow. There’s so much depth and meaning to this story. It had so many layers of beauty, and the worldbuilding was fantastic. Great job, Martin! I loved reading this. 🙂

Olivia Giordano replied to the topic A new day in New Wessex in the forum Announcements 3 years, 10 months ago
@daeus-lamb I feel bad about this, especially because I love the whole concept of the guilds, but I think I’ll have to back out of this. I haven’t really been active on here, as much as I love what this is about, because I’m part of another writer’s community (YWW). So thanks for putting this out there, and I hope New Wessex continues to be…[Read more]

@the-golden-light I’ve been a part of it for over a year now, and it’s THE BEST thing that’s ever happened to my writing life. I’m not sure if you have any questions or anything in particular, but I’m absolutely in love with it all. It’s well worth your money, 100%.
Are you curious about certain parts of it or anything?

Olivia Giordano replied to the topic Anybody ever write a retelling?? I beg your advice. in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years ago
@ericawordsmith Ahh!!!! I’m in love with this idea. I’ve always loved the story of Esther. And I love that Celtic type setting. So it would be fantasy?
Yeah, you definitely need to write this.
Something to consider (which is probably really hard to actually carry out) is not making it obvious. I don’t really want it to be the kind of allegory…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb @kate @lady-iliara @gabbyj Loving all these ideas! I would chime in, but I don’t really have anything to add. Yeah, it’s looking really good, and I’m really excited about what this is turning into.

Olivia Giordano replied to the topic Guilds? in the forum Guidelines & FAQ 4 years, 1 month ago
Hey @thetessinator. I have a bit of info about that. 🙂 I’m just gonna quote a friend of mine who put together a pretty accurate summary of what they are and how they work:
What are the guilds?
The guilds are basically just a smaller, closer group of writers that have their own forums that only they can look at. There are also things such as…

Olivia Giordano commented on the post, 4 Common Sins of Christian Storytellers 4 years, 1 month ago
Thanks so much for writing this, Daeus. It’s such an important reminder, to really put God first in our stories, by his help, not in our own strength. Our primary aim should be to exalt and glorify him through our words, not put our own interests first. Well-written Christian stories can be done, but only in Christ alone.

Olivia Giordano replied to the topic Blogs Anyone??? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 1 month ago
@filewriter Did you know that if you want to know when people post new stuff, you can subscribe? XD. I mean, it’s REALLY handy because then I just get a new post when someone writes something new, and I don’t always have to go check to make sure there’s nothing new.

@filewriter @evelyn Yes, we have so much fun with this. And most of the time we don’t kill off characters that the other one loves. *coughs* You’re one to talk, File. I wrote TWO things that I was going to write…and then you use the idea…somehow…reading my brain. XD. It’s really fun though, because we think along the same lines most of the…[Read more]

@filewriter Okay! Let’s see…
So here’s how we cowrite, @evelyn :
It’s actually really simple. But the way we do it is most likely different than what other people do.
Because we’re doing it more for fun (and it’s actually turning out this way) we figure out everything as we go. It started out with a prompt that I emailed File, and she wrote…[Read more]

@evelyn Welcome! I’m glad you could join SE. I’m also an unashamed homeschooler and just finishing up my junior year. What grade are you in? (You don’t have to say if you’d rather not)
I love tea too, especially herbal ones.
And I’m a fan of anything Middle Earth. What books by Tolkien have you read? I’ve read Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit,…[Read more]

@cassandraia Oh dear. I was really confused with Kingdom Pen at first too.
So there’s the general feed, that it would show from all the different things when you click on “Recent Activity”. That’s probably the most confusing, but it’s basically just the most recent topics. Kinda like on YWW, except it will go to the top of the list when someone…[Read more]

Gotta support bloggers:) I want to join the Young Writers Workshop but the only thing holding me back is the money thing. Do you use google chats? we could chat on there.
