@jennythefaun
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. -

@samantha-pen
I have a hard time leaving comments on my phone, so I’ll just post my overall thoughts here.Let me start by saying, overall, I really like this! It’s definitely a good start.
I have a few questions and I think fleshing them out would really help this story shine, and still wouldn’t leave you with a super long story.
So I had n…[Read more]

This is really cool! I really liked the cultural vibes in the setting.
It’s a short story, but I liked the characters and feel like I was given enough info to get to know them relatively well for the story.
I loved her horse, and was especially intrigued by the earth verses jewel aspect of living beings. If you wanted to, I t…[Read more]

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.
But there’s always that big question: are you going to self publish or traditional publish?
There’s no right or wrong whe…[Read more]

Thank you so much for this article, Maddie! This is just what I needed to hear. As a young, (very) inexperienced writer, it’s so easy to give into all of these lies. But I have to remember that if I want to get anywhere, I can’t give up.

way to go on all the writing! Like Kari said, there is a link to it in the official announcements page for all the guilds. I also usually try to share the link here too to make sure everyone gets a chance to submit, so I’ll do that Monday.

Hey guys!
We’ve got a war this week! I didn’t hear about it till today, but I’ll pretty sure anything you wrote yesterday also counts, since these are week long wars. The war ends midnight on Sunday, and your totals will need to be turned in on Monday.
This is for new writing. So if you’re editing, you only count the difference in words when yo…[Read more]

If you’re reading this, the chances are pretty high that you’re a writer. But how often do you tend to stop and think about what it means for you to say that? Being a writer often throws some interesting images out there, and not all of them are clear. This lesson’s goal? Stop, Think, Reflect, Do.

dont beat yourself up too hard! I didn’t make that very clear in the intro post, and you guys didn’t have much guild leader help this go around.
Knaphollow was also not the only guild who didn’t submit. Several others didn’t either.
I am very very proud of the writing you put into it, and all the plotting you guys all did.
