Alrighty, so the officials ruled that Knaphollow didn’t get finished in time for the contest, but I read this anyway and am here with my judges comments.
WOW. Very good guys. Very, very good. First off, I’m a sucker for fantasy type settings, so a battlefield with swords and arrows instantly grabbed my attention.
The main character drove me abs…[Read more]

hi guys! This weeks post is by Daeus Lamb, and it’s really good. It’s cutrently pouring rain, so my writing is restricted to indoors, but I typically love writing outside.
Why to write outside
I’m writing this post outside. The sun is shining, and some trees provide shade. The stream is full and bubbling and a wind stirs the leave…[Read more]

hi guys! This weeks post is by Brandon Miller.
Even though I don’t fit in with the introverted, agoraphobic, germaphobic writer stereotype (see Alex Rover from “Nim’s Island”), I have to agree with them on one thing: People can be scary. That said, people can also be good friends. (Not as good friends as main characters or anything, but stil…[Read more]

Getting a Professional Edit

If you’re pursuing publishing, whether traditional or self published, a professional editor is a must.

This is so good! @the-golden-light I loved the rhythm of it. Almost like a poem or song. And the purposeful vague or withdrawn allegorical point of view. Very cool.
