Martin Detwiler started the topic Writing Life: Conclusion and UPDATE! in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 6 years, 8 months ago
Hello Ereki!
First of all, an apology for my radio silence for all of last week. A couple things in my personal life went wonky and I allowed that to overrun my responsibilities to you all, and for that I do apologize.
Second, the Writing Life series of Weekly Discussions has come to a conclusion! We’ve covered a lot of ground and a huge variety…[Read more]

@kelly-lundgren That’s great, I’m glad you’ve had such a good week! š

Hey guys! How did your goals go last week? I did pretty good with mine, I think. Better than usual. I just didn’t really draw… like pretty much at all…
So… what are your goals for this week?
This is my first week back to school, so I don’t really have much else…[Read more]

Hey all!Ā I’m back now! I had a wonderful time (got to visit with my nephews!), but I’m ready to get back into things here (and man, it feels like I missed a lot in a short amount of time– looks like I have a lot to catch up on!)
Thanks @karthmin for filling in for me! I know you’re busy enough as it is.
How did everyone do with their goals…[Read more]

The Greek food was delicious!! And only one dish (the falafels) didn’t go as planned. But thankfully Whole Foods exist and apparently they have pre-prepared falafels. š

Hello Ereki!
Welcome to the month of August and to the creation of our weekly goals thread! This is the unofficial logbook of our intended goals as writers (and people in general) so that we can open up and have a sense of fellowship and mutual encouragement as we pursue our individual writing projects.
I’m taking over this week for @emgc (who…[Read more]

@morreafirebird I personally have found Enneagram much more personally helpful than MBTI – and I’m looking forward to using it in understanding my characters better – and how to give them realistic patterns of growth, depending on the personality that they are.

CONGRATULATIONS, Erekdale! Once again, I step out of the writing process, and we win. XD I’m beginning to see a pattern here. You guys are awesome. Each and every one of you.
Thank you all for your involvement – both with the first attempt that ended up going nowhere, and with the second story.
I also heartily second the mentor speech that @princ…[Read more]

weāre thinking about opening up the weekly discussions to the entire forum, and changing their structure ā because it isnāt something that we have found pulls the guild together, and may in fact be more helpful to more people if it was carried out on the general forum.
I agree with them being on the general forum. I think. I don’t think…[Read more]

Hello everyone!
Just a reminder to start things off: I am always taking questions on The Document for You to Ask Me Writing Questions. If there are multiple unanswered questions, I will answer one per week. If there are no questions at all, I will askĀ you a question – either humorous, ice-breaker, or a more serious writing question. You never…[Read more]

@morreafirebirdĀ Wow that’s crazy.
I find things like that often happen in my poetry, but it has yet to happen in one of my stories.
