One strength that descriptions have is their ability to set the mood for a scene.  For example, if my character is walking in the woods I can describe either the spring breeze brushing through the trees or the hollow, cracking leaves whisping through the eeire silence.  In these descriptions I’m describing the same thing, but I’m creating a t…[Read more]

Okay so the last Guild War Prompt was a little heavy.  That’s okay, sometimes life is heavy and stories must be honest.

ON THE OTHER HAND, we don’t want to leave everybody feeling low, so this time around we’ve got a more… light-hearted prompt: “Write a scene from the point of view of a five-year-old who has an engaging character voice.”

Hey Everybody,

I have some important announcements so I’m going to give them their own topic.

This week’s prompt is a scavenger hunt.  Open up your favorite book and find a description you love.  Once you’ve got it, share it here along with a short explanation of why you like it or how it works.

Can’t wait to see what’ you’ve g…[Read more]

Hey Guys,

I’m working on some other stuff today so we’re gonna take a well-earned break from activities this week.  (If you’re feeling let down, you could always swing by the critique board and help a fellow Lumenite out.)

Also, one of the things I’m working on is a guild feedback form so keep your eyes out for…[Read more]

Hey Guys

Um… no announcements today.

Cool.

And the assignment I have in mind is pretty chill too.  I want to try to keep making these so that they help you write your WIP (is that what you guys want, or do you want a weekly break from your WIP?) so… this week we’re literally going to write your WIP.

Go to your first scene.  That opening s…[Read more]

Hey Guys!

We have three new members (yay!)

Finally, this week’s activity is easy.

I found this great K.M. We…[Read more]

Hey Rillumenites!

It just so happens that our beloved guildmaster is away for the week (doing many exciting, writerly things). So, a thousand pardons, but y’all will have to put up with me again. 🙂 So if you have any questions over the week, go ahead and direct ’em my way.

This week’s activity will be simple since we’re working hard to finish…[Read more]

Hey guys,

NEW GUILD WAR CHALLENGE!  This time we’ve got two weeks to come up with the most emotional death scene we can write.  Here’s the dirt:
Max words: 2,500
Due: 6/18/18
Topic: Death scene

So, last time we did this we wrote two (really good) stories and ended up having to choose only one.  Not only was it hard and sad, it also wasted ha…[Read more]

Hey Guys!

First off, some announcements, sad and happy.

You may have noticed, that AshlyVye has disappeared.  Story Embers had a policy change on minimum forum age (for legal reasons), and she was a year shy.  I do hear, however, that her birthday isn’t too far around the corner and hopefully she will return to us soon.

Now, happy, we have y…[Read more]

Have you ever/ do you have a friend who has a friend who you happen to know, and you don’t find that out until you meet that friend at a party hosted by your other friend? Well, I did today and it made the world a lot smaller.

@Josiah, I was at the Barry’s house this afternoon, for John Barry’s graduation and was introduced to your dad! Being…[Read more]

Hey,

You guys had an eventful week while I was gone, let me go ahead and hit up some of the highlights.

First off, GUYS WE WON A GUILD WAR!!!  I saw the numbers.  It was not close.  You guys ROCKED it.  WAY TOO GO.  I wish I could come give you all high-fives or something bc wow I am proud.  Nice work.

Hey everybody!

Before I get to the activity, I have a few announcements:
1) My fam is on vacation this week so this is the last you’ll hear from me.  Lucky for ya’ll, the fabulous @Rolena-Hatfield had agreed to be acting guildmaster in my stead.  (So hey, I guess you’re going to be rolling with her own personal brand of tyranny this week.  I di…[Read more]

Hey,

So I was asked recently  “What genre do you write?” I said Dystopian. Later I realized that dystopian is a type not a genre. I’ve been dabbling and I know mystery and fantasy aren’t my gig, so how can I find what genre fits…[Read more]

Hey everybody!
Who plans on writing this week? (That should be all of you.) We’ve got a chance to snatch the guild war crown from Avensbeck. That’s right, another prompt. However this time around, instead of writing off a prompt, we’re going to all work on our on WIPs.
Ladies, gentlemen, members of Rillumen all, I welcome you to our first word…[Read more]
