Hey Saxon Scribes!
At long last, the prompt war is back. This one should be interesting:
Write a mystery.

Daeus Lamb started the topic Juggling story ideas in the forum 6 years, 9 months ago
Dealing with multiple ideas
Most writers have more story ideas than they know what to do with. If you’re in this boat, you need to know how to cut through the clutter and make the right decisions. Here are a few things I’ve learned that have helped me.
Write everything down
Writing your story ideas down cements them in your brain. You’ll be ab…[Read more]

@noodle-mum Hey there, Alli! Welcome to New Wessex!
I’m Grace, and as for how I’m doing… life is pretty busy, especially in the summer when I have a lot of volunteering/camps to be involved in. I thought I would have more time to write, but I’m afraid not.
What kind of things do you write?

Daeus Lamb started the topic We were thinking… in the forum Announcements 6 years, 9 months ago
Hey Saxon Scribes,
As you’ve noticed, activity has been pretty low here. Same with the other guilds.
That’s fine if everyone’s busy, but if it’s just because the guilds weren’t attractive enough…
Well, we should do something about that then.
After talking it over with some of the other SE staff. We have an idea. This isn’t a premade…[Read more]

Kate Lamb started the topic Eowyn in the forum New Wessex Writing Discussions 6 years, 9 months ago
Hey guys! I want my writing family’s input on something writing-related.
You ready for it?
Women in fiction. Particularly in fantasy, where so many of them take on combat roles or other roles commonly filled by men, in the name of offering ‘strong female role models’.
What do you think about this trend? While I was thinking about this I start…[Read more]

I think this sounds awesome, guys! Ahhh I would love to write this story but am not sure I’ll have time…. When is it due? Also, this scuba diver dove in to find death–but they took their gear, which would prolong their life. Does that mean that they essentially wanted the last thing they saw (when they ran out of oxygen) to be something…[Read more]

@eden-anderson no, that’s totally what I was going for. Glad you like it!
Anyone interested in kicking this off, or shall I?

*jumps in*
Okay guys I actually really like the fish/kelp idea. It’s very offbeat and we’d have to handle it carefully, but it’s got such a good aura/imagery to it— almost like a parable of life and following the light. What do you think?

@bama-rose Aww, missed you too! I value the community here so much…it’s super encouraging and helpful. 😍 I need to stick around more.
@literatureforthelight @sesi @corissa @cassandraia Even if we never use these ideas, y’all should get something for your imagination. These are epic ideas! Especially the wax museum, ohmyword! 😂

Grace replied to the topic A small jewel in a sea of chaos in the forum Announcements 6 years, 10 months ago
@sesi To build on this… maybe the scuba diver is about to run out of air, and he needs to get to the top quickly? But he’s kind of lost in the kelp forest and can’t see anything?
Maybe he risks being entangled if he tries to surface in the kelp (we’d have to do research maybe) but then he gets irritated at that little fish. And then he chooses…[Read more]

I really like this prompt!
@sesi My first thought was a battlefield, too, so let’s not do that one. What about something really gaudy and unusual like a wax museum?

Greetings Saxon Scribes,
I’m really excited about this new prompt war because I think it’ll be a great learning experience and result in some wonderful submissions.
Our goal is to write a story where we bring out the beauty of something ordinary in the middle of a very dramatic setting.
Unfortunately, I’ll be out of state during much of this,…[Read more]

Hey guys! What’s up?
This week, Jane, Faith, and I (Jane was the main one) worked on putting together a brief overview of the differences between traditional and self-publishing. I know a lot of you are curious about it, so check it out. 😀
