Ahem, *write. Must have been typing too fast, smh.

I’m praying for you and your family.

@i-david That’s perfectly fine! The one-paragraph thing wasn’t a rule – it was just the minimum. You can right as much as you want, as long as it’s at least one paragraph.

@thewirelessblade Sure!

@thewirelessblade I am so sorry for your loss. No problem – I understand.

Let’s just see where it goes! Have fun!

@i-david and @bama-rose

I’m thinking that a more serious story would be best for our growth as writers.

@i-david

I think it would be easier if I just put the list here in the forum:

Story-Go-Round (SE forum) Participant Order
1. E. Grace
2. Erica Wordsmith
3. Thomas
4. Lin
5. I, David
6. Introverted Elf
7. Bama Rose
8. Rae Marie
9. Michaela
10. S.F. Dekreel

(we will probably end up cycling through this list, depending on how long the story gets)

@bama-rose It’s not a big commitment – just a paragraph’s-worth (unless you want to write more) when it’s your turn, which won’t cycle through very often, since we have 9 other participants. Should I add you to the list of participants?

@i-david I’m up for it.

Here’s the list of participants and their order. I assigned each person a number, then used a dice generator to come up with the order.

@ericawordsmith Sure! You don’t need to share your email; we can just share the document hear on the forum.

@introverted-elf Great! Personally, I vote Microsoft Word, because I have more experience with it and just in case other people (without Google Docs) might join in. I agree on the word count – we’ll just see how long it gets!

So, who wants to go first? Whoever wants to start can make a word or google docs document, write their part, and share it in this forum. Then, whoever’s next can add their part within the document. We could either tag people to go next or they could just pop in at whatever point in the story they want. The question is, how long should the story…[Read more]

@introverted-elf Yes, that’s what I was thinking, unless any of you think more would be a better idea.

This idea depends on the genre, but what if she has a hidden superpower? Maybe every time she uses her power, she loses a bit of health or strength. That could explain why she’s so sickly. Also, she could sacrifice herself by using her last bit of power to help someone, which means draining her last ounce of health. I know it sounds cruel, but…[Read more]

Hey Bama Rose!

Yay, another homeschooler! I don’t think I’ve been assigned to a guild yet – just the forum. I’ve been writing (very inconsistently) for about 3 years, but I’m still a novice at best. I have a short story I’ve been working on inconsistently for a long time, but I’m still in the phase of just writing random scenes that will…[Read more]

I like these ideas. Thanks Evelyn!

Thank you! I might try that!

Nice! I don’t really have favorite book characters, to be honest. I just like to make my own.
