@noahlite @sesi @germaine-han unfortunately, I haven’t read any of the books being used as examples… 😛
One thought I had… in the dream/idea we use for ‘future’, we could have the dream prophesy something that’s about to happen, and then in the last paragraph have the character wake up and the dream starts all over again, except it isn’t a…[Read more]

That’s a great idea. But…
Something that @chalice said last night was to not use the first idea thrown out there, but to come up with something better. We’ve been so close to winning these past few times. Let’s do something different this time.
Let’s force ourselves to come up with three or four ideas. And then only use the best, or m…[Read more]

I’ve got another question.
Are we doing a story opening? And if so, what kind are we doing?
Are we doing a Kung-Fu Panda type dream sequence opening, where everything is awesome, but it’s not congruent with the character’s life? Or are we doing an Inception type dream sequence opening, where the dream is the character’s life? Or are we doing a…[Read more]

(excited grin emoji with maniacal laughter goes here)
This is something I think I could do! This could be as much fun than the fish one!
I would love write the first draft. What kind of dream are we writing?
*puts on a calm facade.*
I’m sorry. I’m a completely normal person that is not as excited about this as I appear to be.
I agree with @lit…[Read more]

Hey guys,
After our long break, we get to do a prompt war again!
If you’ve followed the topic about charm in stories, you probably noticed I’m fascinated with dream sequences. So I decided to make that the theme of our prompt. 😉
Starting today and lasting for two weeks, we have the assignment to write the very best dream sequence we can. (In…[Read more]

Okay, guys. Here it is.
And again, just in case:
It’s a rough draft.
I only have one request: Please read the whole thing before commenting or editing.
And if you have time (or if you don’t have time for commenting or editing), post here and tell me how it makes you feel. Or how it makes you…[Read more]

OKAY, folks. Apparently, I have the esteemed position of Featured Guild Member. And not only that — I’m also the first featured guild member, so I can’t piggy-back of off previous examples because there are no previous examples. Which means I have to trailblaze this thing, WHICH MEANS…

Hey guys,
It’s me. Normally, each week we focus on our theme topic — which right now is worldbuilding.
Today though, we’re going to do something different. We’re going to try, the last week of every month, to focus on one of our guild members. I’ve decided to work down the list on our guild page, so today we have our snarky elf, @ethryndal.

Sorry I’m late. This week’s word count for Good or Evil: 3,845. I think that’s a record
And I finished the story!
Word count for the finished story as of yet is: 14,627.
I’m still going to work on adding scenes and editing this next week, though. And I’ll try and post what I’ve got Friday evening.
Thank you all for your support and…[Read more]

@kate @germaine-han @chalice @sesi @gabbyj Thanks for the suggestions and encouragement. I guess the only reason I hesitate is because it kind of feels like cheating. Right now I’m only two or three days from writing the end of the story. At the most. :-j That’s not cheating, is it?
@sesi Yeah, I’ll probably get two or three soundtrack CDs.…[Read more]

Dear Saxon Scribe,
Imagine you’re a Viking or one of those other early explorers of America. Since you were five, your grizzly uncle has told you stories about the time his vessel was blown off course and he spied afar off a coastland peeking through the mists.
Now, twenty years older, you sit on the prow of your boat and a wild country…[Read more]

Just watched this video and thought it would be good to share it here.
It’s in a playlist about composing music, but I think this video is applicable to any creative process.
So, how do you guys “get in the way of inspiration”?

Hey Saxon Scribes,
To be honest, this post is more about me learning from you all then offering any great wisdom. When you have a complex story world, anything from a fantasy world or ancient Persia, you’ve probably faced this huge dilemma.
On the one hand, readers could be extremely confused (maybe they’ll even completely misinterpret what is…[Read more]

Well guys, I really appreciate all this feedback. It looks like the three main topics everyone wants to hear about are theme, plot, and worldbuilding but worldbuilding got the most votes by a small margin. I’m thinking that’s what we’ll go with.
For those of you who write historical fiction, don’t worry! Yes, I’ll probably cover some aspects of…[Read more]
