J.A.Penrose started the topic I Am Alive, and Apologise in the forum Announcements 6 years, 8 months ago
Hey guys! In case you don’t remember me, I’m Jess. I’m actually your guildmaster, and I’m not dead!
First up, full apologies. A fair few major life things happened, and I was overwhelmed and basically shut myself in my room and just cried while trying to keep on top of things for basically a month. On that, prayer for dealing with deadlines and…[Read more]

Hey! I have a couple of free verse (?) (I don’t know if most of them would be considered free verse) poems I’d like to have critiqued, and I’ll be posting more on this topic as they come along. If anyone can help or give their feedback on my poems, that would be much appreciated!
I don’t know too many people on SE, and I don’t know many peopl…[Read more]

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS!
GUESS WHAT???
WE WOOOON. Not the usual Honorable Mention for a change! 😝
Here is the doc if you want to check them out.
Jane was reeeeally impressed. She was super impressed, particularaly seeing that I sent her a message a day or so before saying, “ACK. THERE’S A WAR AND I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE PARIMIS ARE DOING.”…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Guild War : It's a Beautiful Day in the forum Announcements 6 years, 9 months ago
Guys, I’m so proud of you!
It was really nice to come back from a week of injections, hospital trips, conferences, and essays (legit. It should not be legal to assign teenagers with thirteen essays to do in five days. *dramatic sob*) and to find that you had gotten on with writing, and had done an a.m.a.z.i.n.g job at it. So proud. You guys made…[Read more]

Steward of the Pen replied to the topic Guild War : It's a Beautiful Day in the forum Announcements 6 years, 9 months ago
Okay guys, I’m finished! I tried my best, but I’m still not sure if the end brought out the beauty of the hands enough. I put it at the end of the doc (it starts on page four), so please go ahead and edit and suggest away! I tried to keep a lot of the original in it, but I might have missed some good sections, so feel free to add them back in.…[Read more]

Steward of the Pen replied to the topic Guild War : It's a Beautiful Day in the forum Announcements 6 years, 9 months ago
Hey everyone!
Okay, I’ve changed it to present tense, but with all the confusing edits on the doc I think it will be easier if I work on finishing the draft in a separate doc. I’ll use what’s already on this doc and add to the ending to flesh out the beauty of the ordinary hands. I may need to rework some sections that are already written so it…[Read more]

Digital dAze replied to the topic Guild War : It's a Beautiful Day in the forum Announcements 6 years, 9 months ago
This is a good point. Inside the burning house probably wouldn’t be the best place to write the reminiscing scene. @j-a-penrose @everyone_else What do you guys think?
And if you agree, how should the MC and grandmother get out? Should we use an older MC who’s able to carry the grandmother out? Should a firefighter intervene? Any other…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose replied to the topic Guild War : It's a Beautiful Day in the forum Announcements 6 years, 9 months ago
Okay guys. So sorry I’ve been gone, been dealing with doctors not believing me about my allergies until it was pretty obvious I was a mess, combined with the end of term rush of writing a ton of essays and music reports. *facepalm* But I’m back now.
I’m agreeing with Grandmother’s hands. Also, seeing that it has to be in a dramatic setting, maybe…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Guild War : It's a Beautiful Day in the forum Announcements 6 years, 10 months ago
It seems like literal aeons ago, but once upon an Annual Theme of Pacing and Suspense, we looked creating a sense of suspense and atmosphere through objects in writing. And then more recently, we had a post from Martin about The Artist’s Eye, and to seek the beautiful in the ordinary everyday.
For the next two weeks, that’s exactly what we’…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Writing Life: Self Publishing vs Traditional Publishing in the forum 6 years, 10 months ago
Final post until we’re caught up! *cheers*
So, this one is written by Jane, with the input of Faith and Daeus who are two of Story Embers’ self-published writers, unlike Jane who is very much neck deep in working through the traditional publishing world.
So you know from the start, both have their benefits and disadvantages. Particularly…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Writing Life: Typing vs Writing by Hand in the forum 6 years, 10 months ago
Hello all!
This week’s (or more, last week’s) lesson is from Martin, and is looking at the pros and cons of typing, and writing by hand.
So, without any further rambling from Jess, let’s see what Martin has to say about notebooks and keyboards!
Things I’ve learned from my own experience with both mediums:
Typing:
Pros:
Typing is fas…[Read more]

Hey guys!
If you hadn’t noticed, we’re three weeks behind! *hides face in shame* However, I’m just going to catch it all up tonight so that we’re back on track!
This particular post was written by yours truly on why we should even write in the first place.

Results are up! We didn’t do so well this time, but we did know that. 😉 A fair few people didn’t get their counts in on time, and those of us who did, didn’t write a ton. Myself well and truly included.
But guess what, guys? There’s a good chance that we’ll have a word war in July when we’re Camp NaNo-ing to absolutely thrash the other guilds!…[Read more]

@april-j-rhys Stellar! Let me know what you decide. 😀
@silverclaw-bonnetfolly Sweet! So, I can’t find you on NaNo, is there any chance you can check your cabin settings and make sure they’re on “I do not want to be included in a cabin”? This will take you off the list for random cabin sorting and let me invite you. (Also, you probably need to…[Read more]

Hello all, and welcome to the month before July, or more specifically, the month before a lot of writers go completely mental and write a heap. 😉
If you are new to the vast quantity of writing forums out there, April and July are Camp NaNo seasons. Camp NaNo is an online writing “camp” where you and up to 19 fellow writers band together to try…[Read more]

Update:
I am 50K words into the book and have cut several thousand words. I’m also working on the arc of one character in more depth than I did originally.
@steward-of-the-pen @silverclaw-bonnetfolly @cassie-hartfinh There are now ten chapters on the doc. If you can, please read them and let me know what you think. 😀
