And no one needs to feel bad about inactivity. I see the notifications too, and then space it off. Everyone has busy lives to live. I’m fighting some morning sickness and can’t handle looking at a screen for very long, so I haven’t felt up to doing much of…[Read more]

Knaphello, Knaplingers!
As you’ve probably noticed, activity has been pretty low here. It’s the same with the other guilds.
That’s fine if everyone’s busy, but if it’s just because the guilds weren’t attractive enough…
Well, we should do something about that then.
After talking it over with the other SE staff, We have an idea. This isn’t a…[Read more]

Handling critiques and criticism
Maddie MorrowLetting others see our work is probably one of the hardest parts of being a writer. That’s our heart and soul out there at the mercy of prying eyes.

That all sounds awesome!
Off the top of my head I’m remembering the beginning, and then when she’s talking to Sahran the first time with his siblings. Neither scene is bad, and you’ve got some great details, but there’s also stuff there that doesn’t further the plot or give any necessary information. That could be trimmed a bit. -

Self Publishing vs Traditional Publishing
I think it’s safe to say that most writers have a ‘one day’ dream of getting published: having your book on the shelves of total strangers and sharing your story with the world.
