@christlover That’s a good idea!

@anne_the_noob14 Haha, that’s great! I’m doing the same, actually. I used to avoid any sort of plotting whatsoever, but it turns out that writing is much easier for me when I have a plan. *nods* So my draft is on a bit of a pause right now while I figure out the rest of the plot.

Yay for characters’ tears! 😛

@anne_the_noob14 Yay, I’m so glad she’s home and doing well! I’ll continue to pray for quick recovery. <3

@ariella-newheart @elisha-starquill @anne_the_noob14 @christlover

Happy New Year everyone! I’m back with another entry.

Runawin shivered as Lucas’s footsteps faded behind her. She waited a moment, hoping he might come back, but only silence met her ears. Sighing, she trotted towards the hallway she’d smelled. A hole appeared in the…[Read more]

@taylorclogston

Thanks! I am enjoying it so far.

YWW is a very active, friendly, and enthusiastic community. My guess is that the majority of the members are in high school, but there are definitely a lot of older students and some younger students as well. There is a very wide range of experience and genres, both fiction and non-fiction. The…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 Yay!  <3

What I read: I just finished rereading The Songkeeper Chronicles by Gillian Bronte Adams, and I’m about to start reading Sanderson’s Mistborn trilogy.

What I wrote: I’ve been writing short snippets for fun and for practice in consistency. I also wrote a tiny bit on the first draft of my WIP, but I’ve mainly been trying to work out more plot so I…[Read more]

@anne_the_noob14 Oh good, so glad to hear that it went well! I’ll continue praying. Hope you are able to enjoy some time together soon. <3

@elisha-starquill @ariella-newheart I echo what the others have said! Great job, guys!

Hopefully I will share one soon. I’m not sure exactly what I’ll do with the prompt yet, but I have a couple ideas. 😉

@anne_the_noob14 How is your mom? I’ve been praying for her. <3

@evelyn Sure is insane how time flies, isn’t it? XD

@j-a-penrose I was wondering, do you think it would be better if we only did the competitions every other month or every few months? To be honest, it was kind of a lot for me when we were doing guild wars every month, and it would be even more work to be doing them individually. I think if we do them less often, there’ll be more participation.…[Read more]

@cassie-hartfinh

Yay, congrats on finishing your draft! *throws confetti over you*

Ohhh I wish I could. Unfortunately my workload is pretty heavy again this year, and I don’t think I have the time to make another commitment. Thanks so much for letting me know, though!

@elisha-starquill You’re welcome. 😀

@elisha-starquill

I just finished reading the chapters you shared! I really enjoyed the prologue. I think what drew me in the most was the assassin’s fear of the emperor and how he resisted the idea of killing the girl. Since often the villain’s servants are cackling along with him, the fact that assassin disliked his job made me want to know…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose Monthly competitions would be fun! I’d be happy doing them either in a group or individually. I’ve always learned a lot doing them in groups, but I could also definitely use more experience writing short stories on my own. Maybe we could do a mixture of both?

Also, a random thought, what if one of us acted as judge from time to time?…[Read more]

@taylorclogston Yep, the same one.

That’s cool! Sounds like a fun way to exercise your creativity without forcing yourself to write.

@anne_the_noob14

OH NO.

What happened to everyone?

This castle gets crazier every entry. XD Pretty soon it will be—ooh that gives me an idea.

@elisha-starquill Whoa, cool prompt! Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with. Hopefully I’ll have one to post sometime next week. 😀

@elisha-starquill The link works. 😀 Looking forward to reading it!
