Avensers assemble!

As you’ve noticed, activity has been pretty low here. Same with the other guilds.

That’s fine if everyone’s busy, but if it’s just because the guilds weren’t attractive enough…

Well, we should do something about that then.

After talking it over with some of the other SE staff, we have an idea. This isn’t a premade decis…[Read more]

Today’s topic is Gathering Inspiration from Others by Martin

At different points in our writing journey, we find ourselves more or less empty of ideas. This can happen in between projects, or in the middle of a project. I’m not talking about writer’s block, though that is related; I’m talking more specifically about simply not having ideas for o…[Read more]

Today’s topic is about how to deal with procrastination and was written by yours truly.

Procrastination. It’s a nasty little dragon that often grows ginormous at the most inconvenient times. For instance, the last week of NaNoWriMo. It will bring in other things such as a new shelf that needs a place in the living room which facilitates an entire…[Read more]

What are your goals for this week?

This week’s topic is about how to handle critiques and criticism. I think you will find it helpful. It was written for Maddie.

Letting others see our work is probably one of the hardest parts of being a writer. That’s our heart and soul out there at the mercy of prying eyes.

It’s probably one of the most essential parts of writing tho…[Read more]

First of all, I apologize for getting this to you so late, but we have a writing prompt war! We can brainstorm this week and then start writing it. The final product needs to be ready by June 30th.

Here is the prompt: Write a story where you bring out the beauty of something ordinary in the middle of a very dramatic setting.

Have fun…[Read more]

Today’s topic is about changing up writing habits when writing becomes dull and was written by Brandon!

Okay so all of you have gone through the phase where writing isn’t “fun” anymore, right? It’s not necessarily that you’re stuck or that you don’t have a good idea or that your book isn’t going well… it’s just that given the choice to curl up…[Read more]

Today’s topic was a combination effort from Daeus, Jane, and myself. We are talking about traditional vs. self-publishing.

I think it’s safe to say that most writers have a ‘one day’ dream of getting published: having your book on the shelves of total strangers and sharing your story with the world.

But there’s always that big question: are you…[Read more]

Today’s discussion topic is about Typing vs. Writing by hand and was written by Martin Detwiler.

Things I’ve learned from my own experience with both mediums:

Typing:

Pros:

Typing is faster.

Typing is much easier to edit and clean your prose as you go along.

Cons:

I find myself easily slipping into editor mindset, and making new content at…[Read more]
