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.

OH NO.
What happened to everyone?
This castle gets crazier every entry. XD Pretty soon it will be—ooh that gives me an idea.

<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 -
Steward of the Pen replied to the topic How's your writing going? in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 4 years, 10 months ago
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
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]

Hey, Parimis!
It’s been pretty quiet around here for a while, aside from our character castle, so I thought it’d be great to catch up with everyone and share what we’re working on.
Right now my main project is writing the first draft of my novel, Dahop’s Ember. I’m at a little over 25,000 words, and (I think) I’m just past the first plot point.…[Read more]

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

Steward of the Pen replied to the topic Who wants coaching? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 10 months ago
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]

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?

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?

I would love to do the second one!

Steward of the Pen replied to the topic An Important Change to My Book in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 4 years, 10 months ago
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!

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]
