Hey everyone!

I’m so excited to start using this site! I’ve been reading the SE blog since it first started but didn’t join the forum for various reasons. At last, I have arrived 🙂

I’m a teen writer, bookdragon, dreamer, poet, forest girl, Griffinclaw, and knight of Farthestshore (hoping someone gets that reference…) from Michigan. I started…[Read more]

Hey SE people!

We’ve launched a cool new feature on the forum called groups.

You can find them in the nav bar like so:

Hey guys! In case you don’t remember me, I’m Jess. I’m actually your guildmaster, and I’m not dead!

First up, full apologies. A fair few major life things happened, and I was overwhelmed and basically shut myself in my room and just cried while trying to keep on top of things for basically a month. On that, prayer for dealing with deadlines and…[Read more]

Happy Saturday, all!

This thread is to continue the conversation started on the most recent podcast episode. 😀

We were only able to tackle a couple of points on the episode, but there’s a lot more to be said on this topic so we wanted to keep the discussion going! 🙂

Have you ever wrestled with how to portray the truth creatively while r…[Read more]

In real history, probably no real reason for the west to start a second secession, other than because they probably could’ve gotten away with it.

But in my story timeline, the town that sparks the new secession movement is under the leadership of individuals who are fed up with Federal over-reach. They disagree with the Civil W…[Read more]
