It’s prompt war time! This month’s prompt: Write a story in which two cultures clash. The word limit is 2500 words and the deadline is September 1st.
Let’s try to finish brainstorm by Saturday the 24st and aim for the first draft to be done by Wednesday the 28th. That will give us time to edit. If you are interested in writing, please let me know…[Read more]

Martin Detwiler started the topic Writing Life: Conclusion and UPDATE! in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 7 years ago
Hello Ereki!
First of all, an apology for my radio silence for all of last week. A couple things in my personal life went wonky and I allowed that to overrun my responsibilities to you all, and for that I do apologize.
Second, the Writing Life series of Weekly Discussions has come to a conclusion! We’ve covered a lot of ground and a huge variety…[Read more]

Hey guys! How did your goals go last week? I did pretty good with mine, I think. Better than usual. I just didn’t really draw… like pretty much at all…
So… what are your goals for this week?
This is my first week back to school, so I don’t really have much else…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, that’s Warcross ๐
And your quote is from The Tale of Two Cities — I didn’t understand most of it back when I read it, but it still was touching (particularly the ending!!). I should find some time to reread it.

That’s like picking a favorite kid! But right now, my favorite characters are a brother sister pair, Fred Derf and Seraphina Magnusson. Why Fred has a different last name is very complicated, but suffice it to say that they’re very different, but they’d do anything for each other. Also, Seraphina’s a goth. I’m not a goth, but I love…[Read more]

@morreafirebird I personally have found Enneagram much more personally helpful than MBTI – and I’m looking forward to using it in understanding my characters better – and how to give them realistic patterns of growth, depending on the personality that they are.
