@kate Yay! Here’s mine:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N2ncbna_hrlN9NX976LxrFGYCm_NV_3_yMoeqSmPOi0/edit?usp=sharing
I still have to go back and fix repetitive language and put some details to rights, but here’s my draft, about the same length as Kate’s. Please tear it apart… and edit away.
Also, I assume for the sake of time, people…[Read more]

Yelp. @daeus-lamb posted this on October 1st, meaning it’s due October 14th. Don’t we usually have a draft going by the time the second week rolls around?
I can write something-that’s-not-so-good-but-it’s-still-something by tonight, then turn it out to all of you so we can jump into the editing process.
Or, if someone is reading this who wants…[Read more]

Well guys, we have the results for the word war.
If I counted right, our total was 20,961 — an awesome word count!
However, Rillumen nocked it out of the park with 39,179 words. :0
Collectively, all the guilds wrote about 200,000 words in one week! *faints*
While we didn’t win, keep in mind we really weren’t too far off. Some of us were…[Read more]

Hi everyone!
So right now I’m brainstorming/outlining for my WIP, and in short, I know where I’m going to end, I’ve figured out my beginning, but it’s a little hard for me to continue plot-brainstorming. Maybe it’s because it’s a lot of work, but I’m hesitating to try to create a plot line from the first plot point and getting it to end where I…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb started the topic Let's talk about parents in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 8 months ago
Let’s talk about the most undervalued character type in all of literature.
Parents.
The obvious fact is that most parents in novels die or are already dead (at least it seems like it). The less obvious fact is that even when they’re around, they’re not very important as parents.
What may be even less obvious is that even when they do matter as…[Read more]

Okay, so I just did a post with the mona lisa in it. Forgive me. It was stuck in my head.
The word war is now over and we hope to announce the winner tomorrow. (If you haven’t given me your word count yet, please go post that in the related thread.)
Right on the coattails of that guild war we have another battle. War is life! *raises…[Read more]

@sesi Going to pop on here really quickly to give you this link: http://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/
Look through the drop-down tabs to find different kinds of name generators. There are many, many ideas for names here that sometimes it seems endless, so you’ll have to try several to find the kind of names that you’re looking for.

Guys, we’re in another war.
The six guilds are competing in a massive word war. The guild that collectively writes the most words (for fiction projects) this week wins. That’s all there is to it — very straightforward. The war starts right now and ends Sunday night.
If you’ve been wanting to increase your weekly word count, now is the…[Read more]

Fight it… Run from it… Destiny still arrives.
A rather melodramatic observation, considering how happy I am to finally be here.
I stand silent before a half-cold hearth, my back to the long darkness of the hall, and watch the embers burn. Coals lie scattered like isolated cities between charred remains of smoking logs. The smoke drifts past…[Read more]

Daeus Lamb started the topic What are you writing? in the forum New Wessex Writing Discussions 7 years, 9 months ago
Hey-yo, Saxon Scribes!
I theorize that you never really know a writer until you know what they write, so I thought it would be a nice icebreaker for us to share what we’re writing at the moment.
What’s the premise, what gets you excited about it, and what’s at the heart of the story?

Daeus Lamb started the topic Odd ways of talking in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 9 months ago
Hi guys,
One element of character development I’ve never heard discussed before is strange ways of speaking. Think of Gollum, Pete the sock man, Spook, etc.
I’m going to propose that these oddities are not only charming but make a story world immersive and strikingly real.
As far as character development goes, all I can say is that I always r…[Read more]

@r-j-karas Thanks. XD I was going to ask about that.
Last day, guys. I plan on doing some serious editing on it this morning. I would appreciate anyone who could be there with me, or at least keep an eye on it. I’ll be keeping an eye peeled here, but I’ll mostly be on the Google doc. Planning on being there sometime around 10:30 or so.
See you…[Read more]

@sesi I don’t mind it so much. If it doesn’t work, we can change it.
So, just so we’re all on the same page, here’s a list of things I did intentionally. Or at least tried to do.
If you’d rather not know, don’t read further.
Forgive me if I’m painfully obvious.

I like Dough-boy.

Honestly, I had thought of Emeril, but didn’t think it fit the fish or the human very well. I could get over that though, if you guys like it.
@sesi How does it sound fishy?
Also, keep in mind: the title doesn’t have to have the fish’s name in it. Maybe we could foc…[Read more]
