So… I wasn’t sure where to put this thread, so I put it here. I hope it’s alright.

Hello, everyone. My name is Noah Litle. I’ve been on Story Embers for a while now, but I wanted to ask this and figured this was the best place to do it.

I’m going to be attending Realm Makers Conference this year, and I was wondering if there were any other…[Read more]

Two Steps From Hell is amazing music!! (At least almost all of it…)

I listen to a lot of music while writing, usually from my MP3 Player. Some favorites are are the soundtracks to Beyond the Mask, Pirates of the Caribbean, Spirit Stallion of the Cimarrron (the instrumental songs), The Prince of Egypt, etc…. Also S…[Read more]

Noah Litle replied to the topic Any guys out there? in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 6 months ago

Hi, @i-david. Have you read I Am David, by Anne Holm? Or Just David, by Eleanor H. Porter? I haven’t read them recently enough to remember what they’re about, your tag just reminds me of them.

Speaking of which, we should all share our favorite guy books.

Some of my favorites are Redwall, by Brian Jacques, the Time Echoes series, by Bryan Davi…[Read more]

@ryker-dawson

Ooh, fun! I’d have to agree with @h-jones here, Piano Guys are the best! I definitely prefer instrumental music, too. I like some orchestrated video game music, too, like Legend of Zelda. I also enjoy movie tracks, or arrangements of movie tracks. Like, HTTYD, Narnia, LOTR, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc; I’m sure there’s ot…[Read more]

NF. Just amazing songs… love it.

Imagine Dragons. Classic.

Of Monsters and Men. A band my family likes. I really enjoy their style.

Jane Maree replied to the topic The Legends and Lore of Meraki in the forum Announcements 7 years, 6 months ago

OKAY MEERKATS. Apparently there’s going to be a little ‘about’ page for each Guild and Josiah wants the content for them this week, and that content is meant to be our history and legends, etc. So…I guess we should continue brainstorming. XD

So we’ve got the idea of ranks/titles, and also maybe we’ll need some history (and background on why…[Read more]

And here we are on the second week already. It might just be me, but my goodness I feel like each week is passing so quickly, halp.

Onto the next chat about theme!

(NOTE: if you didn’t read last week’s lesson, you’d best hop over to that, because this follows on directly and could be confusing without background.)

Since theme is the base…[Read more]

OKAY I WROTE A FIRST DRAFT, GUYS.

At first I wasn’t totally convinced, but I think it ended up at least a tiny bit funny. 😛 It might not be a normal comedy, but I think it’s a good start. Better than nothing at least.

NOW IT’S TIME FOR EDITS! We’ve only got about four days, so edit away. Please add your edits in suggestions/comments so that we…[Read more]

Welcome to our first week on STORY THEORY! *hands out pizza*

So I was going to do today’s post about plotters vs pantsters, but I’d gotten halfway through and I kept getting hooked up on how to describe something because plot isn’t the beginning foundation that most people consider it to be.

The fact is that theme is the solid core that all…[Read more]

I’m going to be honest with you: I put off doing this topic for a long time for no good reason at all, but NOW I’M FINALLY DOING IT.

Basically…we’re going to develop a fictional world for our guild.

I personally thought “wow, this won’t help us write more words.” and while that is completely true, it still isn’t totally useless. I think we…[Read more]
