Hi Saxon Scribes!
It’s late, but it’s still Monday. We’re back to talking about character development.
What I want to do here is open up the floor for you to voice the struggles that you’ve been going through with character development. We’ll either gather round and help you with them here in this thread or I’ll create a future thread…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb started the topic Longer chapters in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 11 months ago
Hey Saxon Scribes,
Today’s Monday, so we’re back to out yearly theme discussion of character development. I wanted to share something I’ve picked up recently that has been hugely impactful in my writing.
Longer chapters.
I used to write chapters that were about 2,000-2,500 words long on average. 800 was my lowest. 4,000 something was my…[Read more]

If you could leave your word counts here, that would be great. https://goo.gl/forms/QwrfeTMf5b9DzFS92 (Collecting them here will make them much easier for me to count up.)

Evelyn replied to the topic Blogs Anyone??? in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 11 months ago
@filewriter Thanks!
@livgiordano If you want to subscribe to blogs, sometimes there is a subscription button where you enter you email and it will send you an email every time a post is published, but the author of the blog has to put it there.
I’ve been using http://www.feedly.com though. Its free unless you want a bunch of extra features, but you…[Read more]

@toklaham-verusia, I checked it out. I like the titles of the short stories and hope to read them sometime in the near future. Thanks!!!
@r-m-archer, Yes, thanks! I checked it out. You are very organized with your posts. 🙂 I like it. More short stories to look forward to!!!
@livgiordano, thanks! Saddly, I can never figure out how to subsribe to…[Read more]

Lol, you guys are hilarious and it sounds like you two are having bunches of fun with it!! XD

@evelyn, *rubs hands together in evil contentment*
That’s always a possibility. What do you think would have happened if she made two people fall in love? *evil laugh* I mean,… you didn’t hear that from me.
Actually, @livgiordano did make this one character die that I thought might actually turn into something, but…
Yeah, it is super fun.…[Read more]

@filewriter Wow! What if you kill off a character that @livgiordano loves?? XD Or the other way around? What happens then?
That must be so much fun though to not know what the other person is going to write next!

@nuetrobolt Ah, if you ever stop on your way through Middle Earth again, make sure to send my greetings. 😉
@livgiordano Ha, I didn’t see your second message when I just sent my message a few minutes ago.. Well your co-author writing process sounds so interesting and fun! Since you are writing together, do you plan out the whole plot ahead of time?

Evelyn replied to the topic "Salvete!" (Or translated – "Hi ya'll!") in the forum Introduce Yourself 7 years, 11 months ago
Hi @livgiordano ! Nice to meet you! I’m going to be a freshman in high school this fall. 🙂
Of the Middle Earth books I have five short stories, (including Roverandom, Farmer of Giles and some others…) The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and then The Letter’s of J.R.R. Tolkien.
Both of your WIP sound very interesting and I had never…[Read more]

@evelyn, thanks! Although, I feel like I really didn’t give you much. XD oh, well. Of course, I can tell you. But… I have a feeling that I would just make it confusing, because sometimes I’m like that. So…
@livgiordano, would you like to tell this kind hobbit/ranger how in the world we manage to write Firebrand. I’ll chime in, if I think you…[Read more]

@livgiordano Awww hello, Liv 😀 I’m so glad we’re in the same guild!! Maybe you can help show me around. I’m really confused, tbh. XD (Which is why it took me so long to enter the conversation haha.)

@corissa @livgiordano If you’d still like to look it over, I recently finished the scene.

To understand it, you’ll need a little backstory. Menthril is my villain. In the story, he basically represents Adam. He was the first human to sin and he led…[Read more]

@livgiordano @literatureforthelight @kate
Great thoughts, everyone. I just thought I’d mention that the example of bondage that first really stood out to me (and that was excellently handled) was that of the younger boy (Kalmar, I think) in The Monster in the Hollows. Good book.

@daeus-lamb Like @livgiordano, I’m taking a break at the moment from personal writing, but in the other stuff I’m doing, I may be able to reach 1000. Eh… I’ll sign up, here’s hoping 😉

Filewriter replied to the topic File has arrived! in the forum Introduce Yourself 7 years, 11 months ago
@corkybookworm, I do too! It’s like one of the best parts of writing. Sometimes, though, I think I enjoy it a little too much. I often end up with a lot more world then I have stories for. Oh, well. 😉
Oh, and character development is also way too much fun. Especially with a character who doesn’t know anything about their past. I am dealing with…[Read more]

This being Monday, it’s time for our annual theme discussion on character development.
I thought I’d touch on one of the best character development tools I’ve discovered: bondage.
Every character has faults, right? Their faults build our sympathy. Bondage goes farther. Bondage is something your character can’t get out of, can’t escape from, is…[Read more]

Hi Saxon Scribes,
While we took a break from it last week, the guild wars are starting up again. This time, instead of competing to see who can write the best prompt, we’re competing to see which guild can be the most productive during the week.
Basically, anyone in our guild who writes over 1,000 words this week can submit their word count at…[Read more]
