Taylor Clogston

@taylorclogston, you mentioned things that my story was missing. Is there any way you could make a list of the needful things in a story?

Like, I know how to write a story. But you mentioned my story didn’t have this. It would be good to follow something before so my story is good in the end.

@taylorclogston Haha, technically, it is my job. xD

And don’t worry, I haven’t been taking it as complaining so much as an opportunity to bounce off what people are discussing in order to clear things up a bit and work out how everything can be improved. ^-^

1. Sweet! That’s the point of the guilds: to tailor for lots of people.
2. Alright then.…

Hey! I haven’t seen you around before, so nice to meet you! I’m Sarah. Sarah Inkdragon to be exact, a rather spontaneous, awkward, and rather klutzy person(though I will never admit that in real life) obsessed with… well, all things nerdy and cool and pretty much anything to do with writing or art. XD Also, I love to…[Read more]

@taylorclogston Oh lol sorry I need to brush up on my abbreviations I guess. Thanks!

@taylorclogston Thanks, Eragon was a good reminder. I had forgotten those scenes. What does IMO stand for?

@ashira I haven’t heard of SE, what is it? it sounds good!

@taylorclogston

AGH. I’M NEVER GOING TO STOP LAUGHING AGAIN. (I’m actually saluting but it cut off the rest of my hand.)

@pursuewisdom

Ahhh, Madame, believe me, when I say with the utmost sincerity, that it is a true pleasure to speak with you once again. How my heart quickens at the thought of your blessed return to these glorious halls! How I rejoice to hear of your coming!

Or, in modern English translation: YAY!!! I’m so glad your back!! *smothers you in a hug*…[Read more]

@taylorclogston

Not a problem!

@taylorclogston Yes, the admin probably didn’t want to have any off-topic threads because they don’t want to get people distracted from writing, and I can see that.

The biweekly “Here’s what I read, wrote, and learned,” is a neat idea!

One thing we have to think about though, like you said, is not to put everything on the Guild Master’s…[Read more]

“Helloooo… my beautiful children.” Oh my goodness, I laughed so hard. XD

Anyways, @taylorclogston this is really cool! I don’t have anything ready for critique at the moment, but I’ll keep this is mind. 🙂

@taylorclogston Yes, though I’ve only been in two online writing communities: Story Embers and a smaller one, which I both joined at the same time, so my knowledge and experience is confined.

What I’ve noticed is that the smaller one (private and about 15 people) is a rag-tag band of writers who the majority are mk (missionary kids) or just…[Read more]

@eden-anderson

So I’ve been thinking about it more, and how to respond to the deadness feeling… because like you, Parimi Alca seemed to sag before the holidays.

First of all though…. @taylorclogston @pursue-wisdom Hey! I’m not the only one feeling this in our guild? Well, this is encouraging. 😀

@taylorclogston made a good point though……[Read more]

@taylorclogston

I think you meant @r-m-archer…

But, seriously, that “hello, my beautiful children…” just kills me! 😆😆😆

@taylorclogston

Hear! Hear!

Thank you, sir, for this good advice. 🙂 Make us Parimians proud.

@taylorclogston

Heh, heh! Might be awhile. 😛

I really like how you go through the story step by step and point out what’s wrong and why. And you aren’t afraid to just say it as it is…I really need that sort of helpful, un-biased criticism in my own writing. Keep up the good work.

@parker @r-m-archer

Good work to you guys on your stories!👍…[Read more]

@taylorclogston

WOW!! This is so cool! I would love to send you some stuff…but *cough* I don’t have anything that’s good enough for the public yet. 😉

I hope you get a lot of people to send you submissions…you did a great job with @r-m-archer‘s story.
