@emma-starr I know next to nothing about poems, so I don’t really have a critique (yess I am helpful aren’t I), but I just wanted to say that I normally don’t really like poems, but this one is… different. I love it.

*emerges from the shadows* Heyo! I’m not doing this challenge (seriously you guys are impressive though), but I’ve been making an effort to draw something everyday. Today, I just did some quick gesture sketches of a person fighting with a staff. I wanted to contribute to this forum a little instead of just stalking you guys like a creepy next…[Read more]

@ericawordsmith Oh sweet butter crumpets, that’s funny! I get shipped at inopportune times too, but never with random strangers! XD I’ve been meaning to chime into this thread for a while, but if you’ve got all the information you need, that’s fine. I was just going to say that the dorm would probably be pretty messy… and with stuff that makes…[Read more]

*waves encouraging little flags from the sidelines* Go Emberites!!!!!

All these are just… *jaw drops* *picks jaw up off the floor* *affixes it to my face again* I would much rather read these than 90% of the stuff I find at the library.

So, I do have a WIP, though it’s pretty much impossible to write a good synopsis without spoilers, but it’s a early steampunk era with magical fantasy races and people who have…[Read more]

@cassie-hartfinh 1000% percent accurate. Especially trying to explain what your novel’s about… it’s hard to make it sound interesting without spoilers!

“So yeah, there’s this girl and this guy and they… meet. But it’s not a romance novel! And then there’s this other guy, or was it- No, it was definitely that other guy, and he, um, does…[Read more]

@evelyn @catwing @ericawordsmith I’ve got to go consume nourishment. Happy writing everyone!

@evelyn *definitely does not blush or squeal or do anything embarrassing upon being complemented* I am a proud INTJ with no messy emotions whatsoever… Obviously.

And yes! Soon! I really want to post it next week *cough* because I don’t have anything else prepared *cough* and I should have time to write/edit this week.

@ericawordsmith That… would be me. Please don’t call the police. XD

I said on my blog once that sharing my writing with other people feels like having a baby, then kicking it off a cliff… and then I preceded to do just that.

Share something I’d written. Not kick anyone off a cliff.

@catwing Yes, trying Camp NaNo is certainly on my writer-y bucket list. 😀

@evelyn Ah yes, my baby… XD Hopefully, I’ll kick the next chapter of the cliff within the next two weeks, which is exciting.

@evelyn *steps back in the presence of a Camp NaNoer* You are braver than I. Nearly halfway there! This is a slower chapter, but it’s kinda nice to slow down and just let Daisy and Ron talk to each other. Without putting either of them in mortal peril.

@catwing Not this year, but hey, there’s always November. Cool!

@evelyn Very true. That’s why live chats are nice. XD

Are you working on anything in particular right now, writing wise?

@catwing @evelyn Oy, guys!

Hey peeps. I’ve relocated from the live chat. Anyone want to join me?

@ashira I may have audibly gasped, those paintings are so good. I’m super quiet around the Camp Artifex forums (but I STALK), but it’s a very supportive community. And also a little *ahem* crazy apparently, going off the latest challenge, but crazy is good. We like crazy. 😀

@lin This is a really good question. **incoming ramble, please assume crash positions**

When I first began writing fantasy, I adamantly believed that incorporating a “God” character in my story was a Bad Idea In All Caps. The reasoning behind this is that I, as a finite human, could never portray God in all His complexity. This thought was only…[Read more]

@jzhurricane Ah! I watched Interstellar and now I get it! It’s a cool movie.

Anyway, I’m still on track. I’m boring apparently. Thought I’d post a link to the story here, in case anyone’s curious! https://weridasusual.home.blog/2019/02/19/the-wishmaker-episode-1/
