So, I kinda met one of my goals for last week. I didn’t write, and I didn’t read those chapters, but I DID get the group chat up and going (today, which is close enough to the weekend XD).

@ajaj2000 Yay for reading!

@kelly-lundgren How is the new plan going?!

@devastate-lasting How did your reading and writing and ‘rithmatic go last week? Oh,…[Read more]

Karthmin replied to the topic Guild Positions in the forum Announcements 7 years, 9 months ago

Based on this feedback, I am appointing @filewriter to the position of Worldsmith. You are in charge of the ongoing worldbuilding and development of Erekdale. Be sure to align everything with the overarching framework found in the Building Erekdale 2.0 thread. Other than that, you have full discretion to create whatever google docs you need to…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb started the topic An argument — Christian stories don't just happen in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 9 months ago

Hey guys,

There’s a common piece of advice for Christian writers I hear thrown around now and again. It basically states that you shouldn’t worry too much about how to write a story that glorifies God because if you’re a Christian you can’t help but express your love for the God you know.

Recently, this advice hasn’t settled with me so well.…[Read more]

Ereki!

I am late. I am sorry. I am posting anyway.

State your goals, encourage one another through the week. Be awesome. 😀

My goals:

– have an Erekdale group chat set up by the weekend

– write at least 1000 words by the end of the week

– read three chapters in a self-improvement book (7 Habits of Highly Effective…[Read more]

Fellow Ereki!

I really liked the suggestion that we create further subdivisions and positions that we can all have within Erekdale. I think it’s a fun way to diversify and make our specific skills/interests known.

So this thread is devoted to working all of that out!

If there is a specific part of the guild activities that really stick out to…[Read more]

Karthmin started the topic Video Calls in the forum Announcements 7 years, 9 months ago

My dear Ereki,

We do have the thumbs up to put together a guild video call. (*dignified grin*)

So. Rather than complete mayhem, I thought maybe we could come up with some kind of agenda for these calls.

I think for the first one, it would make the most sense to just chat, introduce ourselves and get to know each other. And if that proves to be…[Read more]

Karthmin started the topic LIVE CHAT! in the forum Announcements 7 years, 9 months ago

Ereki one and all!

I got a green light just yesterday to go ahead and give this a shot! Because we are going outside of the Story Embers forum to do this, keep in mind that this isn’t endorsed, or monitored by anyone from the Story Embers staff. It’s a bunch of friends trying to create a stronger community, basically, and that’s just about it.…[Read more]

Karthmin replied to the topic Weekly Wonderings in the forum Erekdale Writing Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago

I honestly wish there was a like button for some of these reactions. Loved them all so much.

New week, new question. This one is going to get a little philosophical.

If you can prevent someone from feeling/experiencing sorrow/pain, either by removing it entirely, or by experiencing it on their behalf, would you do so?

Second part of the…[Read more]

*ushers you all into dusty, moth-ridden discussion hall; books are scattered, some open, others in stacks, next to various armchairs and benches and giant cushions scattered around the floor*

We’re going to do our best to undust this place this week, and drive the moths away. This week, we will be jumping back into our discussion pretty much…[Read more]

Ereki!

I am making a regrettably late appearance. But I am appearing. So we can all be thankful for that, right? Er, well, most of us, anyway. 😛

Suffice it to say that this is the first ‘normal’ accountability thread that we’ve got going on this year, so let’s start it off with grandiose, amazing, impossible-to-achieve goals, shall we?!

On the…[Read more]

*leans over to Tess, slightly* Did you say… Scrapyard? Hmm… That does seem… *thinks* useful. I should look into this. I haven’t been around here enough lately to know of any recent developments, but…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting @mlbolangerauthor @catwing Where else am I supposed to get rid of my junk? Well, I mean, unless you have a recycling center or something. Or a Goodwill. Or a consignment store. Actually, making money off my stuff sounds like, amazing. Is there like, a Salvation Army?

Karthmin replied to the topic Guild Improvement Ideas in the forum Announcements 7 years, 10 months ago

Okay, first of all, I am really happy to see how much feedback this got, and I almost feel like coming together to discuss ways we can become a stronger community has actually, like, made us just a little bit stronger as a community. Huh.

Anyway, I’m just going to go in order through the comments so I can adequately address everything that was…[Read more]

**sees 2019 on the calendar**

Wow. 2018 disappeared quickly, and left a lot of lessons in its wake. All of which I am very grateful for, and the holidays are always a bit chaotic for us since “no” doesn’t seem to be a word we know how to use in this house…

Anyway….Because I started December…[Read more]

Hello Ereki! Welcome back after our refreshing holiday break! *looks around at a sea of faces that have clearly been fed by many cookies; checks pocket mirror, grimaces*

Humbug. About time for some goals, I say. XD
