HEY GUYS.  I’M BACK.

You may have noticed, Rillumen has been really quiet of late.  And in that silence, I have been silenter.  Long story short, college didn’t do the usual ramp up into the semester thing and I got tidal-waved with homework week one.  Labor day helped me catch up though, and I’m back in the game now.

Yay!

First up, some anno…[Read more]

@brandon-miller, will you give us the writing prompt? Rillumen really needs to step up their game… Just give it to us and I can help organize everything…

@graceabounds2129, are you gonna be here with us? I’d like to work with you…[Read more]

Hey everybody,
I haven’t finished up my plan for these activities moving forward, but thanks to all of your REALLY AWESOME feedback on my topic last week it seems that the picture prompt activity was by far the most popular, so I thought I’d spin another of those together.

You need to write a short scene.  Source of conflict?  The glass w…[Read more]

Hey guys!

So I’ve been having an issue lately… coming up with a new one of these every week is hard.  That’s my excuse for not posting one this week.

Sorry.  I know it’s lame.

However. I’m going to take this week to put together something of a long-term plan that will (hopefully) help me communicate and use these activities to really be h…[Read more]

Hey guys,

We’ve got two big things going down this week.

First, FEEDBACK FORMS.  The Story Embers staff and Guildmasters are looking to make these guilds even way more better.  To do that, we need your guys’ thoughts.  So, we’ve put together this short survey for everyone to go through instead of doing an activity this week.  Please take a few…[Read more]

One strength that descriptions have is their ability to set the mood for a scene.  For example, if my character is walking in the woods I can describe either the spring breeze brushing through the trees or the hollow, cracking leaves whisping through the eeire silence.  In these descriptions I’m describing the same thing, but I’m creating a t…[Read more]

Okay so the last Guild War Prompt was a little heavy.  That’s okay, sometimes life is heavy and stories must be honest.

ON THE OTHER HAND, we don’t want to leave everybody feeling low, so this time around we’ve got a more… light-hearted prompt: “Write a scene from the point of view of a five-year-old who has an engaging character voice.”

Hey Everybody,

I have some important announcements so I’m going to give them their own topic.

This week’s prompt is a scavenger hunt.  Open up your favorite book and find a description you love.  Once you’ve got it, share it here along with a short explanation of why you like it or how it works.

Can’t wait to see what’ you’ve g…[Read more]

Hey Guys,

I’m working on some other stuff today so we’re gonna take a well-earned break from activities this week.  (If you’re feeling let down, you could always swing by the critique board and help a fellow Lumenite out.)

Also, one of the things I’m working on is a guild feedback form so keep your eyes out for…[Read more]

Hey Guys

Um… no announcements today.

Cool.

And the assignment I have in mind is pretty chill too.  I want to try to keep making these so that they help you write your WIP (is that what you guys want, or do you want a weekly break from your WIP?) so… this week we’re literally going to write your WIP.

Go to your first scene.  That opening s…[Read more]
