Jane Maree started the topic {2018 – Week 8} Describing: Settings! in the forum 7 years, 2 months ago
I’m going to start off with a disclaimer:
Description of settings is one of my weakest points in writing so we’re all in this boat together.
But here goes. I’m going to give it my best shot.
Description is something that some people love, and some people hate. I’m not sure that there’s any in between. xD The thing is that you have to find…[Read more]

@parker I really hope she ‘converts’ Ms. Verton. 🙂
I know what you mean she was the writer that imspired me to actually start writing and her work has been incredibly helpful

<p style=”text-align: left;”>@parker oh no kidding , your that Parker!! 😃 Lol</p>
I can’t pick a favorite except I like the last 3 the best. Iceland Intrigue was amazing but I found Hunting in the Highlands had some powerful Jigson quotes.Nice to “meet” you!

Jane Maree started the topic {2018 – Week 7} Show Don't Tell (and what that even means) in the forum 7 years, 2 months ago
I don’t know about you guys but one of the most common pieces of writing advice I’ve heard is “Show, don’t tell.”
It’s also incredibly confusing and hard to piece together what on earth that means. There’s a lot of courses and articles out there telling slightly different versions of what telling is and what showing is, and—let me tell…[Read more]

Jane Maree replied to the topic GUILD WAR – Smol Children and Character Voice in the forum Announcements 7 years, 2 months ago
Okay all, who’s up for looking through Faith’s draft and strengthening some character voice?? If you have ideas or inspiration, head over to the doc and dive into editing the rough draft so that this story can really pop out of the page. 😀
OR if you have a different idea and really really want to write it, go ahead and try your hand at a first…[Read more]

Sure you can! You can all go ahead and start all the topics you want as long as they’re writing related and designed for encouragement and support of each other. 😀

@karthmin
Hello Karthmin! Thank-you for your welcome! =)
Unfortunately, I don’t think I can give you a concise story about how I started writing. I think I’ve just always loved making up stories and characters, whether they were based on films, created in collaboration with my brother, or simply made with my own imagination. I’ve almost always…[Read more] -
Samuel replied to the topic Epilogue in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 3 months ago
@parker I think an epilogue is generally a segue into the next book, if there will be a next book. It’s typically not included in the main plot, as in it wouldn’t be part of your denouement. It would be “After the dialogue”—Something extra. If it’s still part of the story you should leave it as a chapter.

Jane Maree started the topic GUILD WAR – Smol Children and Character Voice in the forum Announcements 7 years, 3 months ago
Okay guys, THE NEXT GUILD WAR HAS BEGUN.
For those who haven’t been here for a guild war, here’s a little explanation: a guild war is where each of the guilds competes against the other guilds to try write the best scene/the most words/etc. This week it’s about writing the best scene.
The Challenge: write a scene from the point of vi…[Read more]

@inspirewrite Whaaaa, you’re leaving?? 😯
@parker Ah yes, very nice! I like the points you’ve got there. Another hair one you can do is have dark/light/’colour’ strands of hair hanging in his/her eyes as they look up, etc. It’s another easy description to have in there without it sounding forced.

First off, thank you all SO MUCH for sharing your biggest struggles in last week’s topic. It saved my brain a lot of agony as I tried to think of more topics that would actually be useful. 😛
Thanks to @Faith-Blum ‘s suggestion, we’re going to be looking at description this week. Specifically how to describe a character’s physical appearance,…[Read more]
