Jane Maree started the topic Goals for 2019! in the forum Accountability & Achievements 7 years, 5 months ago

First of all: I’m sorry that it’s been so quiet here lately. I’ve been crazy busy over December, and I think we all needed a bit of a break over Christmas. I will, however, be back to the weekly lessons and things next Monday.

I hope you all had a great Christmas! And a happy new year to all of you as well. 😀

I’m not a huge goal-maker, but I…[Read more]

Hi, sorry for tagging you all! If the intro to my story sounds remotely interesting, I would appreciate a quick/thorough read through. (If you think “meh”, just go ahead and ignore this message. Or if life has you by your throat, by all means, go ahead and let it take you.)

Hello, Meerkats!

So! I made this short story in response to a prompt for a story contest a while back… and never got around to finishing it in time for the contest. But I’ve “finished” it now (finished…haha, yeah, no) and I’d love to hear what you all think!

Title: Brightest

Word Length: 598

Synopsis: An angel as he tells the story of the…[Read more]

Jane Maree replied to the topic PROMPT GUILD WAR – In Dreams in the forum Announcements 7 years, 6 months ago

ALRIGHTY ALL. We’ve only got half a day left or something before the deadline is up. I’ve done my major edits (sorry I took so long). There’s still a few hours left for you guys to go over it. If you REALLY don’t like what I’ve done, it’s okay, because I still have the old version saved in another place and we can re-add some things maybe. I mean,…[Read more]

Jane Maree started the topic CHRISTMAS BREAK – WHOOO! in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 6 months ago

Christmas is only, like, eight days away, and it’s one of the busiest times of year for a lot of people, so I’m here to call for a holiday!

I won’t be posting any more lessons/activities until 2019 (IT’S SO CLOSE THOUGH. *screams*) but until then, we’ll still be doing the guild war story (deadline tomorrow!) and doing all the other things as…[Read more]

Jane Maree replied to the topic PROMPT GUILD WAR – In Dreams in the forum Announcements 7 years, 6 months ago

@scarletimmortalized I loved it! I think you really nailed the first draft. There’s things to work on, but that’s the point of it. 😉

Gather around everyone, and let’s get to editing! I think the main part to work on is a touch of character voice and some more emotion, but the core is there already. So fire away. HERE is the link to the doc,…[Read more]

Jane Maree started the topic {Story Theory – Week 10} Strong Female Characters in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 6 months ago

Strong female characters are one of the hardest sorts of characters to write realistically. Harder than writing a realistic POV character from the opposite gender. Harder even than not killing off your mentor character. 😛

Now, before we go any further, I should clarify. I’m not taking on the normal topic of strong female characters. There’s…[Read more]

It’s been an AGE since we last did a writing prompt war, but the time has come once again! Buckle on your armour, it’s time to go to war.

If you haven’t been around for one of these before, check out this topic to see how it works.

The prompt: write a dream sequence (aka a story in which the character is dreaming)

The dates: Monday 3rd – M…[Read more]

Thank you all for your support! I have survived my first NaNoWriMo. That was *grits teeth* enjoyable. Honestly. (And now I will pay for all the studies I’ve put off. Nevermind the mark I’ll get for Humanities…)

Jane Maree replied to the topic WORD WAR – November NaNo Special!!! in the forum Announcements 7 years, 6 months ago

@skye Ahhh, that’s great! 😀

@nicoleg GREAT JOB!! That’s totally okay, as long as you can make it back eventually, haha. 😉

This week, I want to throw a bit of a different topic into the mix. Discussion!

How Much Research Should Fantasy Writers Do?

I know you’re not all fantasy writers, but I’m sure a high percentage of you have at least read fantasy once or twice. What do you think? Should fantasy writers do research? Why should they or shouldn’t they? What sort…[Read more]
