Hey friends!
Would anyone like to join an Avensbeck book club? I’m not sure what we’ll read (it depends on everyone’s suggestions) but if enough people are interested, I’ll hammer out the details. 🙂
Would you guys like that?

Hello!
This next guild war is a little different than the last. Instead of creating a story together, we’re going to keep track of the number of words we write. Whichever guild writes the most wins!
Here are a few rules and such:
-the competition starts today and ends Monday
-Only fiction and poetry counts
-Only new scenes count (editing and…[Read more]

Hey friends!
Last week we shared writing goals we wanted to reach before the week was out. I didn’t achieve mine, but I still felt like the practice was beneficial <span style=”background-color: #f6d5d9;”>and </span>motivational. 🙂
What are your writing goals for this week?
My goals are:
1. Edit 18 chapters of my WIP
2. Finish those…[Read more]

@overcomer Yes, this was pretty recent.
I should probably tag the rest of the guild…

Gabrielle Pollack replied to the topic Using Setting to Highlight the Mood in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 1 month ago
@jenwriter17 *grins* Anytime.
@sam-kowel That’s fine! I only added a word count so it wouldn’t turn into a book ;). I liked that you picked the emotion joy, but didn’t name it to avoid emotional telling. And I love the first line. XD Good job!
I had a suggestion but then realized that it kinda goes against the instructions I gave you. XD

Guildmates! We’re so close to finishing up our entry! I think the only thing missing is an intriguing opening line. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks you guys for responding! *prepares to go down rabbit hole of awesome Avensers media* @kiraelizabeth @aislinn-mollisong @supermonkey42 @morreafirebird @martina
And @jenwriter17 @dekreel @sleepwalkingmk Don’t feel bad about not having social media! It definitely has its cons to go with the pros. 😉

Audrey Caylin replied to the topic Welcome to the Guild Wars! in the forum Announcements 8 years, 1 month ago
Well…here’s my piece. It’s more about the character than the sunrise, but I think that made the sunrise more important in the story. It’s a bit rough right now, but I can definitely edit it if we choose to use it 😀

To all the Marvel fans out there, if you’ve seen the latest Avengers, I thought it would be fun to analyze the story. There were definitely some strong points in there 😀
To anyone who hasn’t seen it… beware of spoilers in this thread 😛

Hello, Guildmates. 🙂
If we are going to write a story together, we’ll need a plan of sorts if we are going to make this project a success. After reading everyone’s ideas I’ve come up with method for how we could go about this process. Please read it everyone, and let me know if it works for you.

Gabrielle Pollack replied to the topic Why is Emotion Important? in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 1 month ago
@Jenwriter17 Yes! Connecting with a character at the start of a story is so important. And I’m glad you brought up show don’t tell. Showing emotion is a hard one for me. 😛 It takes so much trust to show emotion and believe your reader is smart enough to get it rather than telling them outright.
