Jane Maree started the topic {2018 – Week 8} Describing: Settings! in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 3 months ago
I’m going to start off with a disclaimer:
Description of settings is one of my weakest points in writing so we’re all in this boat together.
But here goes. I’m going to give it my best shot.
Description is something that some people love, and some people hate. I’m not sure that there’s any in between. xD The thing is that you have to find…[Read more]

Jane Maree started the topic {2018 – Week 7} Show Don't Tell (and what that even means) in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 3 months ago
I don’t know about you guys but one of the most common pieces of writing advice I’ve heard is “Show, don’t tell.”
It’s also incredibly confusing and hard to piece together what on earth that means. There’s a lot of courses and articles out there telling slightly different versions of what telling is and what showing is, and—let me tell…[Read more]

Jane Maree replied to the topic GUILD WAR – Smol Children and Character Voice in the forum Announcements 8 years, 3 months ago
Okay all, who’s up for looking through Faith’s draft and strengthening some character voice?? If you have ideas or inspiration, head over to the doc and dive into editing the rough draft so that this story can really pop out of the page. 😀
OR if you have a different idea and really really want to write it, go ahead and try your hand at a first…[Read more]

Jonathan Brown replied to the topic About Cassie Hartfinh in the forum Introduce Yourself 8 years, 4 months ago
@cassie-hartfinh @selah-chelyah Would lava to help with all of this, but just when I had finally scheduled my day with a block for writing and all, another college course preview got dumped into my lap: Python programming. Which means I will have really no time whatsoever for writing/critiquing (unfortunately), as they are rather low on the…[Read more]

@h-jones and @selah-chelyah Thanks for the support, guys. Glad to know I’m not going crazy or anything. :p I’m trying to follow your advice, and read my Bible and pray more, because God speaks through His Word, right? I’m slowly feeling better and getting out of this, don’t worry.

Jane Maree started the topic GUILD WAR – Smol Children and Character Voice in the forum Announcements 8 years, 4 months ago
Okay guys, THE NEXT GUILD WAR HAS BEGUN.
For those who haven’t been here for a guild war, here’s a little explanation: a guild war is where each of the guilds competes against the other guilds to try write the best scene/the most words/etc. This week it’s about writing the best scene.
The Challenge:Â write a scene from the point of vi…[Read more]

I wrote this out and then it disappeared from my page, so I don’t know if it went through, but I’ll submit it again just in case.
@selah-chelyah Okay…I’m going to talk about something that will be recorded on the internet forever and always, but here we go.
How do you keep your faith?

@selah-chelyah Oh, gosh, I hope you all get out of there soon! I keep imagining breathing in all these deadly spores, like in “A Series of Unfortunate Events” by Lemony Snicket. Are you all okay? Can people really die from breathing mold?
Yeah, don’t worry about reading my WIP until your health is in the clear.

@katthewriter It’s a fun little game that @selah-chelyah started up. Basically you just carry on the story from the previous person and add a paragraph/a few sentences. 😉 You don’t have to play if you don’t want to, it’s just a fun thing.

@selah-chelyah Oh no, what kind of health issues? I hope you all get better soon! What general area are you trying to move to, if I may ask? Anyway, I’m over the flu now, and back to catching up in school and book-writing. I added another chapter last night, if you guys are reading it. (As always, the link is on my profile page.)

Okay folks, two things:
a) I’m adhd and today is one of those days where my brain does not want to think, so please forgive me.
b) I don’t know what sort of activity to do today?? Because I don’t know what YOUR struggles are.
So on that note, this week, just want to know what your struggles are with the topic of prose. What would you like t…[Read more]

Jonathan Brown replied to the topic About Cassie Hartfinh in the forum Introduce Yourself 8 years, 4 months ago
“sighs” I had planned on writing/critiquing other people’s work a lot this summer. But after my New Student Conference, my parents loaded me up with TWO three hour, college level courses to complete from the beginning of last week to the end of July. So yeah been quite swamped of late. @cassie-hartfinh @selah-chelyah

@selah-chelyah @theinvizibleman So guys, anything new happening recently with writing and stuff? I haven’t posted any chapters on my google docs for about a week, because of the flu and stuff, but hopefully within the next week I’ll be able to post, in case anyone’s reading my latest novel. 😉
