@steward-of-the-pen*notes down to do the next guild lesson on managing to weave in character description without over clogging the story and making it chunky and poorly paced*
Yup! Pretty much whatย @steward-of-the-pen said. I’ll add a few more things on Monday and expand it out a bit. You can then add in a snippet there and…[Read more]

ALSO:
Typically for this thread, you may want to make a new post for each thing so that it doesn’t get too cluttered and confusing.
So for any confusion I may have caused in my wording!

@steward-of-the-pen *nods* We shall hold you accountable!
@evelyn Woah. Snow in February. Crazy. O-o
Never mind. Australia is different. Ignore me. ๐
Looking forward to hearing about that story in February!

Can I just say guys, you are doing awesomely here. O-o
I think I may spend all of tomorrow afternoon just going through these and collaborating some more things together and then responding to this stellar thread.
Also, I’m thinking that we may end up using some of our world building to have our own mini Parimi Alca tournaments? As in,…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Haha, nah, I get how school drowns you. ๐ I’ll be sitting my Preliminaries soon, so yeah. *pats you*
@ariella-newheart *also pats* Ah, yes. Banes of school.
For both of you, I did a post a little while back on managing time. It may have a few ideas to help. I find it really hard when I don’t get time to write, so in the end,…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose replied to the topic WIP Discussion and Help in the forum Parimi Alca Writing Discussions 7 years, 9 months ago
For me, I just love world building when it seems to all have meaning, and doesn’t actually tell you everything that happens. You just end up exploring the world and finding things out through your own experiences…
Often people seem to have central themes they use. Mine tend to be freedom and belonging.
Haha, we all must…[Read more]

ConsciousDreamer replied to the topic Prologue: The Ember Dies in the forum Critiques 7 years, 9 months ago
@steward-of-the-pen Physical appearances are a trouble spot…I always feel stupid with that, so I don’t generally do it (which is a problem). And just description in general lol I tried it in a scene once and it felt super awkward and didn’t read very well.

Hey @steward-of-the-pen! Did you finish the chapter? (Or by next Monday, did you mean next next Monday?)

Well Parimis, it is time to say goodbye to a few of our members.
Some of our noble friends have decided that they would like to step out, at least temporarily, and I figured I’d let you guys know. Whenever someone is removed, I will put a farewell comment here for them, and so you all know.
At the end of the week, more will probably be…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen Lol xD
Anyways…
I guess I’ll set a goal of finishing my new story I’m starting (doesn’t have a name yet!) by February of next year. If I don’t, you can send me to help Steward clean the palace floors of Parimi Alca in shame and remorse and freezing weather. ๐ (Though I hope she won’t be forced to mop the floor for six…[Read more]

@silverclaw-bonnetfolly No worries! I just wanted to make sure you were kept in the loop. And yup, those very same dragons!
@evelyn Yo, that’s a pretty sweet idea- it makes sense for the political head of a region to be invested in either promoting or outright controlling the manufacturing process, and for people to try and subvert…[Read more]

Who has sat down to plot and then ended up with all of their ideas going splat onto the page and not making any sense to how a book needs to be structured? Me too. A few years ago, (yikes, crazy to think that it was only just over three years) I would just come up with the intro, the complication, the plot twist, the climax, and the conclusion.…[Read more]

@j-a-penrose @steward-of-the-pen @evelyn Thanks for the vote of confidence! And excellent questions @writercatherine . My thoughts on those working with dragons is that while they might be seen as elite, how much depends really on the social context; a farmer who gets a new drake might be the talk of the town, like some guy who gets a new…[Read more]

@steward-of-the-pen WOW. Looking great!
My one thing to suggest changing upย bit, was the laughing. It felt a bit strange and disconnected, and you drew a fair bit of attention to it by using lots of different types. (Snicker, giggle, etc) Maybe revise with less?
Over all though, EEEP! YOU DID A PROLOGUE! YAAAY! *throws confetti over you.*
