Okay, guys. Here it is.
And again, just in case:
It’s a rough draft.
I only have one request: Please read the whole thing before commenting or editing.
And if you have time (or if you don’t have time for commenting or editing), post here and tell me how it makes you feel. Or how it makes you…[Read more]

Sorry I’m late. This week’s word count for Good or Evil: 3,845. I think that’s a record
And I finished the story!
Word count for the finished story as of yet is: 14,627.
I’m still going to work on adding scenes and editing this next week, though. And I’ll try and post what I’ve got Friday evening.
Thank you all for your support and…[Read more]

Noah Litle started the topic Make Your Own Inspiration in the forum New Wessex Writing Discussions 7 years, 6 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”?

Daeus Lamb replied to the topic What do you want to study next? in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 6 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]

Noah Litle started the topic Name That City! in the forum New Wessex Writing Discussions 7 years, 6 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]

Hey Saxon Scribes,
For something like six months now, we’ve studied character development every week. It’s been a good journey, but now I’m coming to the point where I don’t have a whole lot more to discuss. If anything else comes to mind, I’ll make a topic out of it, but if nothing comes to me, next week I think we could start on something…[Read more]

Noah Litle replied to the topic Good or Evil? in the forum Accountability & Achievements 7 years, 6 months ago
Alright guys. This week’s word count for Good or Evil: 3,229 words.
I wrote the most words on Tuesday with 877 words. Mostly because of the word war. I usually write a little more than 300 words in a day.
And just for good measure, the total word count for the month of October: 5,824 words.
Yeah, I didn’t write very much this past month. But…[Read more]

Guys, this is crazy. A little sad. Absolutely awesome.
The word war. How’d we do?
We actually beat the record from past guild wars! I was amazed. We had 51,082 — a whole novel’s worth in a week.
So, the winner?

Raspberries?
How life is, that the most unheroic detail can somehow make the distances between us seem smaller, and the room less cold. I stand with Kate, and everyone follows suit. If talking has died down, maybe everyone’s spirits will be revived by a little bit of a stretch and walk.
The grating of many wooden chairs follows, and with a start…[Read more]

Hey Saxon Scribes. I think I missed last week somehow, but thankfully I remembered just in time today.
Let’s talk about relational development. Just like the meaning we bring to the world is often found in our relationships, usually the best character development is actually relational development between one character and another.

Hey guys.
So, I’m working on rewriting and expanding a short story I wrote, and I need some accountability. I’m a little afraid I’ll get into it, decide it’s not really worth writing and give up on it.
I mean, I’ve already started, and decided it wasn’t edifying, so I stopped. Then realized that I needed to work on something so I’m working on…[Read more]

Hey guys,
I forgot there was a word war this week! I’m going to need to set myself some automated reminders.
Anyway, we’re going to do the best we can. The guilds have decided to war starting today and ending Tuesday night.
This works like it always does. We write as much as we can and try to outdo everyone else!

Hey all! This is a super short story (800 words) that I’m hoping to submit to the new Havok ezine that split off from Splickety Publishing. Anyhoo, I’d LOVE feedback if ya’ll have a minute to read it quick. 😀

@m_corinnemusic We’ll be able to once they’re created.
