My dear Ereki!
I completely dropped the ball this week, and I do apologize for that. Weird work schedule, falling prey to a cold, and etc….
But nothing that couldn’t have been overcome. I simply and plainly forgot to post this on Monday. 🙁
So as not to fall behind, I’m going to post this discussion piece today anyway. I hope there’s some…[Read more]

The Fledgling Artist replied to the topic What makes a satisfying scene? in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 10 months ago
@everyone
Haha, Thanks for all the thoughts! They are very helpful. I’m wondering if maybe my problem is more a result of writing random scenes that don’t actually string together for a larger story… Hence making it difficult to build up to anything? Mehaps it’s time for me to stop floundering around and crack down on a story. :’…[Read more] -

Martin Detwiler started the topic Week 14: Writing Life; Self vs. Traditional Publishing (Daeus, Jane, Faith) in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 6 years, 10 months ago
Hello Ereki!
Sorry for the lateness. But here is this week’s discussion piece! Without further ado:
Self Publishing vs Traditional Publishing
I think it’s safe to say that most writers have a ‘one day’ dream of getting published: having your book on the shelves of total strangers and sharing your story with the world.
But there’s always…[Read more]

K.M. Small started the topic A Confusing Post to Eliminate Confusion in the forum Erekdale Writing Discussions 6 years, 10 months ago
Hey Ereki! I’m making some changes with my pen name and wanted to have a quick post to eliminate any confusion.
I’ll keep this short: I’m changing my pen name. Or more accurately, getting rid of it, since I’ve run into a lot of confusion in the past regarding my pen name versus my given name, especially at writers conferences and while marketing…[Read more]

@princess-foo *nods* Yeah, I should’ve tried to do more write-ins, but I was graduating too. Yay! 😛
Maybe if we keep trying we’ll be able to get more people to do it. I hope so at least. I’ll try to do more than just one next time. 😀

Things I’ve learned from my own experience with both mediums:

Pros:
Typing is faster.
Typing is much easier to edit and clean your prose as you go along.
