Steward of the Pen

Hi @steward-of-the-pen,

My current work in progress (WIP), still not used to the shorthand acronyms, is a quest novel which tends to lend itself to missteps, re-routes and changing directions.  It goes off the grid and off the rails in many cases, but I have found that sometimes that is the very place I need to be to find what I am looking…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen *replies late* Ooooh, nice!

Ah yes. The emblems stay. They were all made by someone else to keep them kinda uniform. *nodnod*

Really well done! I love the sound of it a lot. You should read the Song Keeper Chronicles by Gillian Bronte-Adams. (I feel like I’ve told you this…)

Great job, @steward-of-the-pen @j-a-penrose @silverclaw-bonnetfolly @ariella-newheart @sarah-vdh !

My total (counting my Creative Writing and my NaNoWriMo novel) is… 53,105! I honestly didn’t think I would make it; this my first year ever finishing NaNoWriMo. :3

Greetings, fellow Parimi Alcaians!! (<– please correct me if I’m addressing our guild incorrectly)

I’m one of the newbies here. 🙂 And since I’ve already introduced myself in a bio thread, I’ll link it here for any of those who may be interested: https://storyembers.org/forums/topic/a-n-intj-history-buff-narnian-team-cap-me/

*cries* *sobs* *cries some more*

I couldn’t do it, guys.

*sniffles*

I tried, I really did. I got to 30k, and then I got so busy and sick over the month I couldn’t do much more. I’m sorry!!

My final count is 37,500, from all of the writing I did both by hand and…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen

HII! Thank you for the warm welcome! I love being here finally. I’ve been talking to @evelyn and @write-owl so far in the general forums, but being in a guild feels so close-knit, which is fantastic.

I’m into speculative. I’ve started several WIPs but haven’t finished any of them. 😛 The first is high fantasy; second was a…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Wow! I thought that was really good! Great job!

@steward-of-the-pen Love the character so much 😂 He sounds like me to my siblings sometimes, haha

*explosive sigh of relief while collapsing* Well, it was a small and hard-won battle with all the Thanksgiving craziness going on, guys, but I finally got to 33,000 words!! Hopefully will make it to 50,000 by month’s end!!

Favorite Snippet: Drent struggled to hold Rona down. He looked at Vorok, his eyebrow cocked in uncertainty. “I wasn’t awar…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen A writer character?! That’s so awesome! I’ve also always wanted to write one 😛

@ariella-newheart Yes, Vorok couldn’t last, I’m sorry. But I’ll tell you a secret: there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, though the darkness is deep and the tunnel is long. Vorok is the one navigating the tunnel.

@steward-of-the-pen Yes, I do admit I can be a very evil author…but all of my actions are for a purpose. Have you read…[Read more]
