It’s the last week of November! In fact, by the end of this week, we will have dipped into December, the last month of the year!

And then cometh 2019. O.o

You know what, though? I’m excited about 2019. I’ve experienced a lot of growth over the course of this year. A lot of hardship and some of the most intense troubles of my life so far, and yet…[Read more]

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to another edition of “Oh No! The Guildmaster is Late!” Subtitled: I Had a Very Busy Weekend.

Post last week’s results and this weeks goals! Don’t be shy!

My results from last week:

Well, first off, I created a Cosmere so I think that just takes the cake. *smiles hugely*

I didn’t do any of the other things on my l…[Read more]

So… Character Voice.

First, let’s define character voice briefly. This is important because we need to be aware of and distinguish between three different voices here: authorial voice, narrative voice, and character voice.

First, authorial voice is your voice: your humor, your natural patterns of words, your instinctual word choices, and e…[Read more]

New week, new resolve. We’re getting closer and closer to the end of the year, guys. Let’s keep up our motivation to press on, fight well, write better, and keep each other moving.

Last week, I did not get any work done in my WIP (tho I did write some poetry), but I did fulfill my second goal, and I got some more beta-reading done. Pretty…[Read more]

@taaka-merespinner

Haha, no problem. 😉 Ooh, I’ll definitely check those books out. It’s so hard for me to find fantasy or anything really that I enjoy reading anymore that isn’t Brandon Sanderson or something like that, simply because I like quality when it comes to reading. I can’t stand bad writing. XD

Hebrew, huh? That’s cool. Yep,…[Read more]

@taaka-merespinner

Why thank you!

I guess I should clarify on that whole “god of war” thing. So, the MC’s(Kija) home nation is a pagan nation. It’s strayed from the path of God, and has adopted false gods, and has developed a hate for mythical creatures(pretty much anything not human). It’s a lot like in Prince Caspian where the… oh gosh, I…[Read more]

Confirmed: Role-plays do not count towards the word war.

@catwing @taaka-merespinner

@catwing Excellent idea! Any of us who are doing NaNo should definitely buddy up. 😊

@taaka-merespinner Let me ask Daeus if roleplaying counts as creative writing. I’m leaning towards saying that it doesn’t, because it’s much more in the realm of brainstorming/outlining (although it is creative).

@taaka-merespinner I think role-plays count. ( @karthmin )

Hail, friends!

We come to another week.

State how your goals went last week, and set new ones for this one! 🙂

My goals were sadly unfulfilled, so I think they will remain the same, with some additions.

1. Get some work done in my WIP!

2. Critique two Ereki pieces in the critique section, and submit part three of my critique pieces for…[Read more]

@taaka-merespinner There is an art guild.

There is a massive word war for November. All the words you write (on stories) this month is counted together with the other Ereki’s. And then at the end of the month we see if our guild wrote more words than the other guilds. Normally it only lasts a week. Does that make sense now?

@emgc Awesome!

Okay. Wow. All of you guys did amazing. Special shout-out to @seekjustice and @emgc (2,500 a day!?!?!?) for exceeding 10,000 words this week! That’s insane!

I have never produced that much writing in a week. I’m honestly rather jealous. I added a measly 246 words – I wrote a poem, and wasn’t able to do any work on my WIP, either :'(

As for our…[Read more]
