@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!

<p style=”text-align: left;”>@evelyn You’re welcome!</p>
Also, your blog post today… XD I love it! It makes me want to write emails to Lotro. XD

@anne_the_noob14

Thanks!

Yeah, I know what you mean. I still find it funny how much we miss our characters. XD

Yay! Glad to hear your driving is going well!

I’ll definitely be praying. <3

@evelyn

Ooh, hmm. Well, I’m sure it’s different for others, but I think a huge reason I was struggling so much to come up with ideas was that I wasn’t…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb Okay, I will do that ASAP.

@daeus-lamb

Yep, I have a google account.

Okay! I’m doing the story premise consultation, though, so do you want me to send a 500-word description of my story’s premise? I don’t have a full outline (currently pantsing a first draft…), but if you want, I can also send a rough outline of what I’ve written and planned so far.

Also, shall I send…[Read more]

@daeus-lamb

Anytime between 8:00 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday would work for me, except for 2-4:30 p.m. on Thursday. (I am also EST.)

Is there anything I should do to prepare for the call?

YES!

YES!

YES!

Eeep, I love all your entries! This is getting really exciting…

@anne_the_noob14 Just wondering, do you have plans for who the person in the room with Lucas is?

@daeus-lamb

I would love to do the second one!

@ariella-newheart

So glad it helped!

I also agree with Elisha about the characters. Though I definitely caught the hint that those characters are important and expected to see them again later on, they were a bit confusing. I don’t know much about flashbacks and when/how to use them well, but I think that could be a great help.

I don’t know if…[Read more]

@ariella-newheart The Hall of Fame was actually my mom’s idea, and I loved it! It’s funny how attached I got in two weeks or less to some of those characters we made. XD

Aww, poor Caedon!

@ariella-newheart

If I can, I’ll read the first few chapters again tomorrow so I can give you some better feedback. However, I already have a few thoughts, so I’ll share them right now. 🙂

First, I loved the start to your book. The first chapter would be a gripping hook even if the prologue was dropped, which is really important. (I’ll defer…[Read more]

@elisha-starquill Thank you! Yes, that was a fun war. xD

Looking forward to reading yours!
