@msqueen8 Yes, well, I’m currently doing three right now, and I’m gonna begin some others within the next year or so.

Noah Litle started the topic Expedition (help me with a flash fiction story I'm writing?) in the forum New Wessex Writing Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
Okay, so at Realm Makers, I met these people from Havok (@gohavok on IG)
They publish flash fiction. And I would like to submit a piece to them. Specifically for their December prompt:
https://gohavok.com/submission-guidelines/upcoming-themes/
So, I was hoping you guys could help me polish up my submission. Here’s a link…[Read more]

Hey folks,
We’ve got a new guild war. This could be a good lesson in worldbuilding for speculative, historical, or contemporary authors…pretty much anybody.
Prompt: write a story in which two cultures clash.

Daeus Lamb started the topic Three announcements in the forum Announcements 6 years, 9 months ago
Hey guys!
Three announcements concerning New Wessex.
1. I know sometimes community building, brainstorming, etc can be difficult on a forum. So I’m going to run an experiment. I’m going to create a group chat. You guys vote. It could be Facebook, it could be Hangouts. We’ll see how it goes. ๐
2. The guilds as a whole have decided to stop doing…[Read more]

@msqueen8 I think those are all the details we have, yes.
@germaine-han I love that idea! Because then, it would be extremely unique giving him TGA since it’s usually (but not always) in middle aged men! Having a young, high-spirited, college student held back by TGA would make for a very interesting twist!
As for names, I was thinking of…[Read more]

Cassandra Hamm replied to the topic Eowyn in the forum New Wessex Writing Discussions 6 years, 10 months ago
@eden-anderson I agree. XP not that I don’t like Thor. But Loki is so fascinating. When I first watched Thor way back when, I wrote this whole several-page character analysis about Loki and then decided to write a story where it had two brothers who were a lot like Thor and Loki (Loki was going bad but eventually turned good I think) and then a…[Read more]

Eden Anderson replied to the topic Eowyn in the forum New Wessex Writing Discussions 6 years, 10 months ago
@msqueen8 Yes, I would agree.
Well, I think it’s more than just knowing that God loves and values you, although that’s a huge part. It’s more about realizing who you are in Christ-a chosen, redeemed child-and that you weren’t created for this world. You were created for something much, MUCH better. What other’s think about you isn’t what defines…[Read more]

@corissa
Thanks! I’m very excited to be in this here guild! ๐Yes, I believe that’s what we have so far. Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply!
And as for the Main Character being an investigator, I’m not sure. I would assume he/she is, just because that puts him in the position to be solving the crime, but if we wanna…[Read more]

*blinks*
I like what we have so far! But like many other people said, I’m way out of my league here, so Imma sit back and watch y’all do your thing, and then come back during editing time ๐
To summarize what’s been going on so far: Our MC has amnesia (TGA) and it is this fact that makes the audience initially believe that it was him that…[Read more]

@msqueen8 No problem! We need more truth-filled art in our world.
Oooh, YWW!! I get emails about it, but haven’t signed up because of the time commitment. Do you find it time-consuming? How do you feel about it versus Story Embers (or Kingdom Pen, if applicable)? ๐

Bama Rose replied to the topic Short Story in the forum Critiques 6 years, 10 months ago
Oh, cool! I haven’t read her books yet but I own a few.
When I did it in the fall I had Kellyn Roth. She’s pretty awesome. ๐

Bama Rose replied to the topic Short Story in the forum Critiques 6 years, 10 months ago
Your welcome! It was fun. ๐
Ooh! You’re taking the young writers lessons?? Who’s your tutor? I took it last time, and it was amaaazing.

Grace replied to the topic Short Story in the forum Critiques 6 years, 10 months ago
I was super encouraged by your story! It’s sincere and uplifting, a good reminder in the midst of a pretty twisted culture.
For me, it’s set to “view only”, so I just went ahead and listed places where I found grammar and punctuation errors. Corrections/issues are in italics:

I joined a couple days ago, actually! So, I’m still very fresh to the whole ‘guild’ thing. So far, it’s super cool and I’m so glad I joined! Everyone’s super nice. ๐
Yeah, I’ve heard that she did that! Perhaps we should take our favorite bits of all three. Build the story backwards so we have a little bit of shock factor and tension,…[Read more]

Oh! Okay, thank you! That makes a lot more sense. ๐
I don’t believe we’ve met yet. Yes, I’m new to the guild! ๐ It’s nice to meet you!
It sounds like you know your mystery stuff! ^_^ I personally haven’t read a lot of mystery. But all those examples you gave have me really interested to go and discover those…[Read more]

Noodle-Mum replied to the topic Time to write a mystery in the forum Announcements 6 years, 10 months ago
Can someone quickly explain the prompts to me? Is it something we collectively write together or do we take the prompt and write it ourselves? I’m a little confused.
But, as for mysteries, I love those! I find murder mysterious are over-written, personally. I found this article on 7 tips for writing Mystery Genre’s.…[Read more]

Bama Rose replied to the topic Short Story in the forum Critiques 6 years, 10 months ago
I like it! It’s such a relatable messageโsomething I struggle with a LOT. I love how you put myย jumbled thoughts into words!
Great job. 😍
(Also, feel free to ignore my comments. I’m still learning all that punctuation stuff, so some of it *all of it* may be wrong. 😝 Anyway, I hope it helps!)
Thanks for sharing!
