At the request of @ariella-newheart, Parimi Alca now has a Writers’ Corner! *cheers*Basically, this is just where you say that you are writing, and others who are around can all write with you and hold you accountable on a smaller scale.

I mean, how often do we sit down to write and find ourselves scrolling through Pinterest boards of different…[Read more]

You have seen the notification that there is a guild war coming. Holding your breath between your teeth, you click on the notification.

“We’ll win the war this time.” The thought brushes, feather-light, against your mind. “Just what exactly is it?”

A war of You.

Well Parimis! After that fantastic smashing of a word war, I think it’s time…[Read more]

Hey guys, sorry this is late. But guess what? It’s May, and time for me to set up some new things for the guild! (It’s also International Star Wars Day, so as a Sith, I’m pretty darn excited about that.)

Back on task though. Today we’re hearing from Maddie about how to gain the habits required to write consistently. I’m excited, because I’m…[Read more]

Hello all! I’m just going to let you know that this thread exists now! *throws celebration confetti everywhere*

If you want to have a word war with people (where you basically have a writing race with each other) you can just say you’re around and up for a war!

If you want to be notified of people requesting wars, click the little box at the…[Read more]

Hello Parimis!

I’m going to say now: feeling unmotivated and discouraged is something I struggle with a lot. I don’t tend to deal with it well (you can occasionally walk into my room to find me curled up in blankets on the floor with a lifetime supply of chai-tea and tissues) but it looks like Faith has a few words of wisdom for us…[Read more]

Hello Parimis!

This week, there is a word war! *cheers*

What: Seeing how many words you can write individually, as well as seeing what guild wrote the most. The words have to be fiction. (poetry or prose)

Who: All of those on the Story Embers Forum. (us included!)

When: Monday 22 EST to Sunday 29 EST

Where: Right HERE

Why: To help build your…[Read more]

Hello Parimis!

This is our Weekly Guild Discussion from Brandon this week, and we’ll be looking at a really cool topic: Reading. Without any further rambling at the front, we’ll hand over to Brandon.

Okay so, we’re all writers, right? We weave words and spin tales and generally have a good go at reality. For most of us though, our love for s…[Read more]

Hello, guild people! 🙂

Once my writing teacher told me that every writer had a super power. Something that they were especially good at. Maybe it was wordsmithing, or world building, or description, or connecting readers with a character, or creating a sense of suspense, etc.

So, since I’m still meeting you all, I wanted to know what you think…[Read more]

Ello Parimis! It’s me, Jess! Yay. I feel like it’s been an age since I’ve written one of these, but today, we are looking at health while writing. This probably sounds an awful lot like what you’ve heard in PDHPE lessons, but just bear with me. 😀

Disclaimer: I am not a professional in any of the subjects discussed in this lesson, and am…[Read more]

Up to lesson four now, Parimis! Today we’re hearing from Martin, and he’s looking at what he has dubbed, ‘the Artist’s Eye’. I can’t wait to get stuck into it. 😀

Thanks Martin!

When we sit down at our desks and take up our pens, ready to mark down the next few hundred words, what is the mindset that has filled up all the space on either side…[Read more]

Hi Guys! Today, we’re hearing from Faith, and looking at how you can balance your writing life with the rest of your life.

24 hours. 1,440 minutes. 86,400 seconds. That’s how much time we have each day. And yet, it seems like we never have enough hours, minutes, or seconds to get everything done. What do you do when you can’t seem to squ…[Read more]

In my defense, I believe no one knows about this. *confused shrug* But let’s give it a…[Read more]
