I was originally talking about the MC having amnesia–but I’m cool with fleshing out whatever idea we settle on.

As for the MC being the culprit, it’s a cool idea and I think we could definitely make it work! Though, I have seen it a couple times before… What if we we set it up to make it look like MC did it (have the…[Read more]

Big families are wonderful–though yes, chaotic too! It’s especially hard when trauma is involved (I know a lot about the foster care system if anyone ever needs knowledge hmu) but I have never seen God’s amazing power more than now, as we go through everyday life. 🙂 It’s honestly the best thing in the world and I wouldn’t change…[Read more]

Interesting bit of advice. Honestly, I’ll have to give it a try!

@msqueen8

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. 🙂

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]

@germaine-han

Oh! Okay, thank you! That makes a lot more sense. 🙂

@msqueen8

I don’t believe we’ve met yet. Yes, I’m new to the guild! 🙂 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]

@germaine-han I’m sorry I’m still a little confused, but let me see if I have this right.</p>
So basically we all talk about the prompt and figure out details for it, and then write one story as a group? Is that right? Or do we figure out the details we want and then each write a story with those details?

Thanks so much for helping me out ^_^

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]

@literatureforthelight

Oof that’s a mood. Though, finishing pieces and works is something in actively striving towards this year. 🙂

Wow! Crysti sounds awesoooome! I love characters that have obvious flaws, since that usually means they must overcome them at some point. ^_^

As for one of my characters? Hmmm lemme think. Probably my…[Read more]

@literatureforthelight
hehe, thanks! It’s been difficult, keeping on track. Finishing works has never been my ah, strong suite. 😛 In fact, it’s so bad I hadn’t finished anything (short story, novel, prompts) for probably 5 years–up until last week when I had a friend find a short story I was working on and demand an ending. XD

Ooooh! Realistic…[Read more]

@ethryndal
haha! Daw, thanks! ^_^ I was there when the great pineapple-on-pizza war began and have held my solid opinion on the matter. Ironically enough, my family went out for pizza tonight and my traitor of a sister looked me straight in the eyes and ordered pineapple’s as a topping XD She’s a riot!

So, the story behind my username is…[Read more]

@literatureforthelight
oof, I get the busy part! I just got back from summer camp as a councilor a couple weeks ago and it’s been non-stop ever since!

As for writing, I tend to write a large variety. But my theme/goal is always to communicate the unwavering love Jesus has for us, as well as the emotional healing and soul-restoration He has for…[Read more]

Hey ya’ll! I wasn’t really sure where to post/introduce myself, but I’m Alli! New and proud member of the guild. 🙂 How’s everyone doing today?

@jenwriter17

Aaah, thanks everyone for the great advice! I think your idea’s about 1. Writing it down solidly and 2. having someone to bounce idea’s off of are great! ^_^ I’ll for sure start doing those and see how they work out!

Aw! They sound so super cute! ^_^ Especially Zane! I love it when characters become more fun and start to sort of charge their own path in stories, therefore changing it for the better. 🙂

Woot woot! Thanks for the encouragement! I know the writing people in my irl life were like “Alli… *eyeroll*”, albeit jokingly, it’s still nice to have confetti 😛

How’s your writing going @evelyn ? 🙂

Ah, i’m so glad I found this! I submitted an application end of may/beginning of June I believe, so I’m thankful to hear some news on it.

@daeus-lamb Take all the time that you need! Running a site is hard work and we appreciate all the time you and the other team members have poured into this website for people like us. 🙂 You’re doing great!

Welp… I wrote around 3,000 words today (and still going), which is great… is it for my NaNoWriMo/Current WIP?

*scrunched up face as I shrug*

noooo not necessarily…

@pensword Thanks! That’s actually really good advice. I realize now I was starting to edit more than actually write the scenes I need to write/rewrite the scenes I wanted to rewrite due to essential plot points and world building. And I was starting to comb over the sentences with a fine toothed comb like “no… it’s not *perfect*…” So, the…[Read more]

@evelyn I have written down most of the scenes I want to write and have a basic idea… I guess I’m just starting to feel a little daunted by it, lol!

What’s your WIP about? If you don’t mind me asking that is
