Hey guys!

It’s been a while since our last word war, but the time is upon us again!

And some good news… I’VE ACTUALLY GOT SOME WRITING TO DO.  I’m not done outlining, but I’ve got some actual writing to do.  I’m… excited.

So yeah, WORD WAR.

Instead of going crazy like we normally do, lets try to get 100 words each a day.  That’s not ve…[Read more]

Hey Guys!

Let’s talk about story endings.

(Full disclosure, there’s actually a guild war going on about endings rn, but I missed the announcement to the guildmasters and I don’t want to rush everyone to come up with something in a week, so we’re going to sit this one out and just do some brainstorming.)

So… let’s talk about happy endings,…[Read more]

Dear Rillumen,

Y’all, the squirrels have gotten out of hand. Here I was, just trying to live a simple life and be a successful squirrel wrangler…and they’ve up and kidnapped me, forcing me to do their bidding, leaving me almost no time to write anything or keep up with more than about five and half friends at once.

Translated (and expou…[Read more]

Recently, this advice hasn’t settled with me so well.…[Read more]

Hey guys!

The holidays have ended and school has started and it’s time to get back to work!  (But it’s like… writing.  Fun work. This’ll be grand.)

So, to start things off, swing over to the accountability forum and share some goals.  (Then I can come around weekly and bug you about them.)  (Also, you’ll get more wri…[Read more]

Actually, oddly enough, I wrote that in a journal as part of a challenge almost two years ago, before any of this started. At the time, it just kind of flowed out of the pen, but I “happened” across it a week or so ago and it’s been in the back of my mind ever since!

Hey everybody!

Nice work on the prompt war.  I got that all submitted and we’ll anxiously await the results together.

IN THE MEAN TIME, here’s that announcement I promised:

You guys know I’ve been busy with school of late.  I’m studying for a computer science degree at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.  You might also know that I didn’t re…[Read more]
