@mairin-atha *hands it back* I do not drink coffee, so you will have to drink the extra cup for me…. I`ll drink an extra cup of tea to make up for it! :_

Jane Maree replied to the topic {Story Theory – Week 5} Plotter vs Pantster (and why I think they don't exist) in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 11 months ago

@thewirelessblade No, that’s great! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with having the idea in your head and then just writing the story from that. Some people actually write better with that method. And sometimes just writing is the best way to discover the natural flow of your story. 😀

Welcome to our first topic about story theory that isn’t talking solely about theme!!! *throws confetti* Okay, celebration over, let’s get back to business. 😛

Today we’re going to look at the mythical two types of writers: the plotter, and the pantster. It’s going to be a very theoretical lesson, unfortunately, but it will apply more solidly in…[Read more]
Jane Maree started the topic WORD WAR – November NaNo Special!!! in the forum Announcements 7 years, 11 months ago

Yes yes, I know we only just finished a word war, but we’re changing up the schedule a bit.

Most of you probably know that November is National Novel Writing Month. A lot of you are participating in NaNoWriMo too (go Meerkats!!) so we decided that we’d scrap the prompt war and instead…do a month-long word war.

Starting: November 1
Ending:…[Read more]

Jane Maree replied to the topic {Story Theory – Week 2} Focusing Your Theme in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 11 months ago

@mairin-atha Hey, I love this!

I actually think your focusing question is pretty good already. It addresses a specific aspect of finding peace not just the more broad ‘what is peace’ and I think that will be a good thing for the strength and focus of the theme.

@mairin-atha

Thank you so much! I have added you as my buddy 🙂

@jessi-rae

Are you doing NaNoWriMo this year?

@nicoleg @parker

Can I be buddies with you too? I’m not entirely sure how it all works out…
ProfessorSJB started the topic NaNoWriMo in the forum Accountability & Achievements 7 years, 11 months ago

So hi all!

I know that it’s kind of last minute, but I am ~~thinking~~ of going to do NaNoWriMo this year… I was wondering if there were any veterans among you who could enlighten me or grace me with your wisdom. Since this is my first year, and also since I have next to zero time, I know it will be a great challenge, but I still want to try. I…[Read more]
Jane Maree started the topic {Story Theory – Week 4} From Theme to Character Arc! in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 11 months ago

Unique and realistic characters are something we all strive to write. No one wants to hear that the readers can’t connect or care for the characters we worked so hard on and spent so much time with. So we try to make them unique. We give them quirks and personality and struggles and fears and dreams and—

@ashira You are right on! Everyone, (all you Parimi Alca-ers, ) see how someone who is not in the guild knows it is the best already?

We write in the real world, too… not just fantastical. All genres welcomed, all creative ideas included. Jane Maree heads us, and she is a greatest guildmaster of all. EVER!!! She is amazing, supportive, t…[Read more]

Another little detail: you may notice that the list of Meraki guild members (aka you) is slightly different than what you put in the document. This is simply because I couldn’t have peoples’…[Read more]
