KREEE! KREE! To me my warriors! It is time to battle again against the forces of doom. Or something. This month’s prompt: Write a story in second person.
Just like always, we need three people to commit to writing, and three to commit to editing. However, even if you didn’t commit to helping, don’t let that stop you from participating. The more…[Read more]

If you haven’t turned in your word count yet, you should so now. Cause if you put things off you tend to just keep putting them off. *mutters*at least I do that…
So here’s just a friendly reminder for y’all to turn in your word counts! Whether they be 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, or 100,000 words! (If you have 100,000 I might be a little concerned…[Read more] -

Who else has seen the announcement for the next SE short story contest? I might have totally flipped out and squealed when I saw it. xD
Anyway, I thought it would be cool to start a thread for other Ereki who are planning on participating. We can brainstorm ideas, keep each other accountable, beta read each other’s stories later on — all that…[Read more]

Hello Erekdale!
Today, we have a discussion piece from Faith Blum, where she talks for a little bit about being non-motivated or discouraged as a writer.
Though short, her words leave a lot to unpack. I’m hoping we can really get into it this week. 🙂

Despite the information you gave me (fun to see some of the inside scoop :P), I think it’ll take me too long to sort out everything and still give decent advice – so I’m going to see if I can approach this from a more global perspective, tying into what you seemed to be getting at with your concluding sentence:

Good evening, Ereki!
Today’s question comes from @sarah-inkdragon:
What’s your opinion on writing “realistic” books? Meaning as in the levels of gore, violence, etc. People seem to crave a realistic view to books and novels anymore, even in the fantasy genre, which has given rise to the ever-popular anti-hero. But where do you think you shoul…
