@kelly-lundgren That’s what I was thinking when I first suggested multiple writers, but I think this way is worth a try. If it turns out it doesn’t work, then we can go back to multiple writers next month. You could still edit?

@seekjustice Thank you!!! I am horrible at things like description and dramatic prose, and it sounds like those skills…[Read more]

@kayla-skywriter I don’t think it matters that much. As @taylorclogston says, denominations are just groups of people who align in beliefs on certain doctrine. Obviously, some of those beliefs are going to be more important than others. While there are some things I need to stand on, there are many doctrinal differences where I can understand why…[Read more]

@karthmin Did you have a good vacation?

I want to be traditionally published one day. I personally don’t read self-published books (except Hope Ann’s), because the ones I had read have not been good. Like, give up reading after the first two pages because I am so annoyed at the writing bad. I just don’t trust ’em. I don’t want my book to be like…[Read more]

@catwing I really liked the idea of all getting together and word spriting one evening, but it kinda fizzled when we tried it.

@karthmin
I have never really thought about that before. I write by typing, and I can’t imagine writing by hand. I have written a couple of papers by hand and thought typing is so much better. I tend to change direction a lot as I write, and you can’t really do that as you write by hand. For instance, I will think “Actually this sentence would be…[Read more]

@kr-lalonde Blah the tag didn’t work in my first post.

Your comment about how no contests fit your needs reminds me of this website. It has a list of places that will buy short stories from you. If you want a goal, you could try and get published by one of those.

Well, I just started freelancing as a writer last Monday. (My website is acaylor.com if anyone is interested. I’m not trying to spam or sell something, because I know that’s against the forum guidelines, but it seemed relevant. If anyone had any tips about freelancing or editing as a career, it would be appreciated.) My purpose in writing has…[Read more]

@hope-ann Okay! I see your point. I implemented the multiple writers thing to keep any one writer from feeling overwhelmed, but I don’t know if it is making much of a difference. Let’s try it, and if it doesn’t work we can try something else.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how the other guilds write the stories, and if they do anything…[Read more]

Sooooo, remember when I said ideally we would be finished writing the story Friday night, but it looks like that wasn’t going to happen? Well it happened! The story is complete! *confetti* *spaghetti* *lasagna* It needs a lot of editing, but it’s done!

I don’t remember most of my dreams. The strangest one I can remember is I dreamed that it was New Years Eve and the world was ending as soon as the year did. My family gathered around, and we held hands as the clock counted down. Then it turns out that someone miscounted, and we had like two hours left. But I did get really dizzy, and stayed that…[Read more]

Good news! @karthmin got busy and wrote a bunch last night! We are now at ~1800 words and at the climax. The reason for this update is that we are at a crossroads. Karthmin and I proposed two alternate endings at the end of the doc. (His is in bold, and mine is in the comments.) We have the potential to be done writing by tonight, which would be…[Read more]

I’m back! *bows as confetti rains from the sky* And… we are a wee bit behind schedule. Ideally, we would be finished writing tomorrow, but we currently only have either 164 words of basic set-up or 1200 words of less basic set-up, depending on if we want to cut out most of that set up as some people planned. The deadline is Sunday night.

I’m…[Read more]

@hope-ann I think there are about five or six writers. I understand what you mean—it’s frustrating when you have to write but haven’t clicked with the idea. If it looks like we aren’t going to finish before the deadline, I can call you. Feel free to join anytime if it starts clicking, but I don’t think we have to start forcing out words yet.

It is time to draw our swords/pens and begin battle in earnest! We are ready to start writing! Thank you 3000 to everyone who offered to write—I was worried that @karthmin would be writing it himself, but several people have volunteered to help. Thank you! That said, if you haven’t yet volunteered to write but want to, or find yourself with a s…[Read more]

@h-jones This is a really loaded question. I think I have some answers, but I’m not sure they are adequate to cover “the mysteries of love”.

First, as @the-inkspiller said, marriage specifically is a reflection of Christ and the church. Ephesians 5:22-33 says, “Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband…[Read more]
