@missfaeriekaiti The dabnors are a really cool concept! Hope you get evacuated safely.
I have two story worlds right now, so I guess I’ll do the one Moonwatcher is set in. (I don’t know if you remember, but Moonwatcher is the story I posted a blurb about for critique a little while ago.) I didn’t spend a ton of time on worldbuilding elements that…[Read more]

Hey everyone! It’s been waaaay too quiet around here recently, and I love hearing about the worlds people create for their stories. So, tell me: what are your story worlds like? Which creatures make the best pets? Where are the best vacation spots? What parts of your story world are just downright epic and amazing?

So based on everyone’s favorites so far, here is an idea:
What if we posted a thread where everyone who wanted to participate posted their “writing plan” for the week (like 30 minutes on Monday, and hour on Tuesday, break on Wednesday…etc.) and we had a mini…[Read more]

@missfaeriekaiti @corkybookworm Thanks so much for the feedback! I knew that last line wasn’t quite hitting the right note, but I couldn’t figure out why. By the way, if either of you want to read the first chapter, I posted it this morning on my blog here. 🙂

Coralie replied to the topic Story Blurb in the forum Critiques 6 years, 10 months ago
@missfaeriekaiti Oh no! I hope you’re feeling better!!
@quinn-ofallon Ooh, Lynn makes a good point with that last line. I personally loved it cause it was exciting and drew me in, but perhaps you might consider something more open-ended that still has the same strong sway? Maybe like “But when everyone you trust is a liar, how can you find the…[Read more]

@missfaeriekaiti @graceabounds2129 and @happyholly_c Thanks for the congrats, guys! XD MY SISTER AND I GOT OUR BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES THIS WEEK! They came like a whole month early! So that’s super awesome!
Haha, I was supposed to post in the critique folder and totally forgot! I’ll see if I can scrounge something up this weekend! But, please, y’all…[Read more]

Coralie replied to the topic Slippery Syntax in the forum Rillumen’s Writing Discussions 6 years, 10 months ago
@quinn-ofallon Great suggestions! I kind of rotate between the sub-verb; clause, sub-verb; sub-verb, clause. Your suggested beginnings are all great! I use a lot of those, too. Thanks so much for sharing them!
@missfaeriekaiti Wow! What great examples! I struggle with the deep first/third perspectives, so these really help!! Starting sentences…[Read more]

How about this: we all think through our favorite parts of Rillumen and what we are each most likely to participate in. It might end up being a host of things, but if we find a way to kind…[Read more]

Okay, guys! Time for a discussion!
Recently, I’ve been juggling a novella challenge and the 100 for 100 challenge. I kind of left the novella challenge by the wayside, but not before writing around 23,000 words for one draft and 4-5 for another in a different pov. I also thought this would be a good chance to try my hand at first person, since my…[Read more]

@graceabounds2129 Congrats to your sister! I actually totally understand. My brother is getting married in October and his sweet fiance asked my sister and I to be bridesmaids. She’s doing the planning, but it’s still been crazy on our end. I can’t imagine what all she’s doing!!
@missfaeriekaiti Oh, cool! I’ll look them up here in a minute and…[Read more]

Yay, people! I miss Rillumen being as active as it was before, but I also understand that everyone is busy… I’m one of those too 😉 I, too, finished up my summer job this week. My sister is getting married in a couple of months, so we’ve gone into full wedding planning mode around here. And I’m…[Read more]

Draft 3 is posted! I still feel like it needs work (which is good because we still have 4 days). Anyone care to chime in with some new comments/suggestions?
Also, I may not be able to work on this much after Thursday as I have a busy weekend ahead.
