@tashah-claymore Aw that’s so cool! (I’ve got to keep you in mind for when I need an illustrator at some point. 😉 )

Well, whatever the case, I am sure that you will be used in some incredible ways through your writing and art. I am so excited for you! 😊

Thanks for the link! I’ll have to check that out. 🙂

Well guys how’s it going???

Ereki! The war came to its halt yesterday at the toll of midnight!
If you haven’t turned in your word counts yet now is a good time. 😀

Hey Ereki,

I’ve failed to forewarn about this, but we’re going to shoot for another Erekdale video chat this coming Monday!

If you’d like to be added to the Discord group, please let me know!

*sheepishly enters* *points at NaNo*

You know what guys? Let’s just get through NaNo first.

If you’d like to get involved, by all means come and join us! Since a whole lot of stuff happened to me this last week (I got a job! A job I will LOVE but is going to take three complete days away from me), I’m not going to bother with…[Read more]

@caserola Oh yes, I heard about that.  Thanks for mentioning that, I’ll be praying.  (On a side note, are you feeling ready for NaNo??? There’s only four more days!)

@kelly-lundgren I’m so glad!

@sageinthemeadow  Ah okay, hopefully your week still went okay though. 🙂 My NaNo prep has been slow going, but it’s coming along. (And yes it is, I’…[Read more]

@tashah-claymore 😀

@caserola Nice!

@tinuviel I’m sorry about that.  I’m glad your week went well though. 🙂 (Also, I just added you as a buddy on NaNo. Hope you don’t mind. 😉 )  My goals went okay, thanks for asking.  I still have a bit more math to catch up on, but it’s coming along.

Okay. Goals!

This week I plan to…

@bree-dawn Awesome!

@kelly-lundgren Great, I’m glad to hear it!

@devastate-lasting I’m sorry about that. Speaking as a (or at least I’m assuming) fellow highschooler (if you’re not then sorry :P), I know how overwhelming homework can get sometimes… >.< Hopefully you’ll have some more time freed up this week?

@sageinthemeadow Good, good. And…[Read more]

Today is the last day of the word war (ending at midnight). Don’t forget to submit your word counts for the week tomorrow! 😀

@tashah-claymore That’s exactly how I was thinking to uncover the secret of enslaved dragons – MC discovers a dragon by accident, and the whole thing begins to unravel. Eventually the truth comes out and society has to undergo gigantic structural changes to accomodate the grass-roots revolution that arise….. *looks off into the distance*

@erekdale We’re planning our Second Monthly Video Call this coming Monday night at 6:00 PM EST! The first one was a success (for an exclusively introverted crowd, I think we did pretty good, anyway). XD

And now we’re going to go for round two. This call will have a main discussion topic to start off with, and then we’ll see where the conversation…[Read more]

@princess-foo Thank you so much! Your feedback was super helpful! That’s also interesting that you linked it to poetry…I can’t write poetry worth a lick, but I do like it and tend to read quite a bit of it. All your suggestions made a lot of sense and a lot of them are things I can implement. Thanks for taking the time to read it 🙂

@princess-foo

Yes, those ideas really help! For fantasy, I tend to default to battle scenes for conflict, but that gets fairly boring after a while (plus, I’m not too good at fight scenes either 😛 )

Your curse-breaker character also sounds very interesting xD

@seekjustice

Thank you for the recommendations! I’ll definitely look those…[Read more]

@seekjustice Thanks! And I’m glad!

@tashah-claymore Great!

@lady-frosttongue That’s great! (And I just added you. 🙂 )

Okay, looks like a lot of you are ahead of me this week. XD

My goals:

— Participate in word war!

— Catch up on math homework

— Practice music every day

— Do well on (both) big tests coming up this week (which… I…[Read more]

@karthmin

I’ve been thinking, as part of this subforum, that we could try a  book club type thing. Us all reading the same book would be too much, but we could do something like what my mum’s book club does and try making a theme or genre for each month (such as fantasy, sci-fi, or a book with a movie adaption) and then each month we could all…[Read more]

Along the lines of this discussion, I’m wondering if anyone here has struggled with portraying true femininity in their stories. In most of my books, I find myself putting a sword or a bow in a woman’s hand in order to keep her engaged in the main conflict (particularly the climax). Otherwise, she’s on the sidelines. While I certainly don’t…[Read more]
