Well, it’s Tuesday night, so I’m a bit late for this. My classes started up this week so things are a bit hectic 😛

That aside, this week’s annual theme discussion is a bit different. Different in that I’m asking where are you at with our annual theme discussion? In the future, are there any areas you’d like me to cover more, suggestions for…[Read more]

Well… they’re back. The guild wars have finally returned 😀

If this is your first war, here’s a rundown of the rules:

– This is a prompt war, which means we’ll be given a writing prompt and must write something based on that prompt (clean and under 2500 words).

– This is a team event, so as many people as possible should try to work toget…[Read more]

Good evening, Ereki!

We often think of external conflict first when crafting a…[Read more]

Hello Ereki!

If you could PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO READ THIS, there’s some cool and important information here 😉

The other Guildmasters and I had a meeting a few evenings ago to go over the feedback from the survey you guys filled out, talk some things over, and brainstorm ideas for making the guilds even more awesome than they already are.…[Read more]

Welcome to the Introduction Thread 2.0! Here are five questions for you all to answer to us started. Feel free to comment on other peoples’ answers!

1. What’s the genre and a (brief) summary of your current WIP?

2. What’s one hobby you have other than writing?

3. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever done in the name of writing?

4. If you’ve…[Read more]

Hey Ereki!

We’ve been talking a lot about putting conflict into our stories and how to do it, but now I want to pose a question: at what moments in a story should internal conflict (temporarily) die down?

Like action sequences, internal conflict rises and falls throughout a story; if it were intense all the time, it would feel stagnant and…[Read more]

Good morning, Ereki!

Today I have an excellent article on conflict for you all. Well, actually, it’s Brandon Miller’s article, but since he wrote it when Kingdom Pen was still active, I don’t think I’m betraying our guild 😉

HERE IS THE LINK

When you’re done, share one point or idea that really stood out to you and how you’re going to use it to…[Read more]
