ESJohnson started the topic Pray for a friend in the forum 7 years, 6 months ago
This is my first time posting in this section, but I need your prayers. A Tumblr friend of mine has recently been very suicidal and talking about cutting herself. I’m currently trying to talk her out of it, so if you guys would really pray I’d be…[Read more]

So I’ve now got the actual tagging list from Jess. Apparently the one I’d found on a random recent topic wasn’t the right one and I ended up tagging some old guildlings and whoops, my bad. 😛
Anywho–great job to all those who’ve been putting effort into this! I’m going through and sorting through a lot of the comments at the moment, but it’s…[Read more]

Hi Parimis!
I’ve returned, and thanks for being good for a week! (And awww, you’re all so nice! I had meant that I didn’t want you to all try and rebel against me and move permanently to Jane’s guild.)

Jane Maree started the topic Lesson 18 : Set The Mood With Your Wording Choices in the forum 7 years, 6 months ago
Hello all Parimis!
Apparently I got confused at some point and your guildmaster…has not returned yet (she’ll probably be back tomorrow), so I thought I’d whip up a quick lesson for this week in her stead. (Actually, I’m cheating and I’m reusing a lesson I’ve used in my own guild–Meraki–because it also fits with your theme of pacing and…[Read more]

Hello hello Parimis!
This is your stand-in guildmaster, and I’m here to call you to arms! War has been declared once again, and we must come out with full force.
Because J.A. Penrose is away for the week, I was already half guildmastering you for this war, but since she was gone, I volunteered her (I’m her cousin, so I’m allowed to do things…[Read more]

@silverclaw-bonnetfolly @evelyn @steward-of-the-pen @cassie-hartfinh Thank you for the ideas! I have a plan now for what to do.
After she hears the news, she’ll be stubborn and refuse to believe it. Since she finds out the truth fairly quickly, I don’t think there’s time for her to accept his death, but the beginning of the grief process will be…[Read more]

Today, we are looking at the info from last lesson, and turning it into something.
Two paragraphs to be precise.
In which you are going to foreshadow your plot twist.
This shouldn’t be too time consuming or anything like that. You can use your own WIP, or just make up something for the purpose. The aim is to make sure that the readers get a…[Read more]

Evelyn replied to the topic To Cry or Not to Cry, That Is the Question in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 7 years, 7 months ago
I’m thinking along the lines of @silverclaw-bonnetfolly … maybe the character refuses to accept the fact despite everything but then finally is pushed into accepting it and falls into 1.) depression, 2.) anger, 3.) or a cold, shallow apathy, numbing everything by pretending she doesn’t care.
Which ever you do, it would pr…[Read more]

Can I just say guys, that that was brilliant. *flails* You all worked really hard, and ended up writing a really cool story. It was also a really hard sort of task because ‘prose’ is so broad. But whatever the result, you guys did a stellar job! *applause* I’ve turned it in now, so we just have to wait and…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Lesson 16 : Hint Dropping in the forum 7 years, 7 months ago
Often it is thought that there are two ways to approach writing: Character driven, or plot driven. However, with well written writing, this does not need to be the case. In fact, it shouldn’t be the case. The two aspects should be interwoven and inseparable.
This also ends up being vital in mastering your suspense. Because, particularly in our m…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Grammar, Punctuation, Passive Voice etc | Tips and Tricks in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 7 years, 7 months ago
So, Parimis, it has come to my attention, that having a space to put up tricks that help people know when to use certain words, pieces of grammar, etc, could be helpful. That will save having to hunt through all of the critues and things to find that one gem that someone had.
So, if you have any helpful little tit-bits, feel free to share!
