@edmund-lloyd-fletcher

Hi all! I still have a deadline to meet by the next week so I might pop up and disappear again, but I like the idea so far! I mean, pencils. I’m an artist, so I practically die for such things.

How about when we use pencils, we include other things like the kind of paper you’d use and maybe the setting around it like…[Read more]

I HAVE RETURNED!! *throws confetti*

I met my deadline, I survived it, and I’m hopefully back. That said, I won’t be checking in on your guild war progress because I’m pretty sure I’m judging this time!…[Read more]

@mairin-atha I completely agree that we should let the everyday-object-symbol-thingy come naturally as part of the story.

And I think our temporary guild master has a great idea. We should totally tailor this story to Jane Maree. What do you guys think? (But um, if we do decide to tailor it to her I’m going to need some help/not be much help…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose

Great article, and thanks for doing double duty for a bit. 🙂 I absolutely agree with Martin. I write all my first drafts in notebooks, and then edit + type out on the computer. Works so well!

@mairin-atha

I’m with you there. So true!

@jane-maree

Sorry I have gone MIA again. It’s the end of the years and I still have a summer full of studies and intensive viola playing ahead of me, so I’m not sure if I can show up consistently…

@mairin-atha

I totally agree with you on the COOLNESS of notebooks. Like @e-b-raulands, I used to only write on notebooks because I didn’t have a…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose This will so much fun!! @mairin-atha Ideas . . . sunshine? a clover flower? an ant? a maple leaf? *keeps thinking while posting this . . . *

J.A.Penrose replied to the topic PROMPT GUILD WAR – A Beautiful Ordinary in the forum Announcements 7 years, 3 months ago

@mairin-atha YES. You guys’s have a flare for the dramatic. I can still clearly remember the last war I was minding you for, and man that was filled with drama.

Main thing is to make sure we don’t lose the beautiful object. It needs to stand out in the midst of it all.

And by all means, tailor this to suit Jane. We all know her pretty well, and…[Read more]

A while back we had a post from Martin about The Artist’s Eye, and to seek the beautiful in the ordinary everyday.

For the next two weeks, that’s exactly what we’re doing.

The Prompt: Write a story where you bring out the beauty of something ordinary in a very dramatic setting.

The Dates: Monday 17th – Monday 1st

The Judge: Jane Maree (a…[Read more]

Hello all!

This week’s lesson is from Martin, and is looking at the pros and cons of typing, and writing by hand. (Also, when I say, ‘this week,’ I mean last week. I’ll message Jane later and see if I’m meant to be double posting later this week to officially catch you guys up. xD) (To be fair, Parimi Alca is pretty far behind in these too. *dies…[Read more]

Hello, stellar Meerkats!

I promise I’m not taking over your guild. I’m just here to look out for you guys for a week or so. 😉 Jane has a crazy deadline that she’s having to work insanely hard to meet.

So just for the next little while, tag me if you have any questions on anything, and continue being an awesome guild!

“I’m from everywhere, really. Travel around the place a lot.” Blaze bows slightly. “People call me Blaze.” She balances the tray on one hand and offers her other hand forward to shake Myrantul’s.

Jane Maree replied to the topic [ROLE PLAY] The Prince Thief in the forum Character Development Corner 7 years, 4 months ago

Blaze weaves her way through the crowded hall, carrying a tray like one of the serving maids. She’s comfortable in the babble of noise and movement, used to crowds and colour. She spots a girl sitting in the corner, looking anything but comfortable, and makes her way over to her.

“Champagne?” Blaze offers, cocking her eyebrow and smiling…[Read more]
