Hey guys!
From the desk of Brandon Miller, we have a shortish discussion piece for this week. Enjoy!

How and What to Read as Writers:
Okay so, we’re all writers, right? We weave words and spin tales and generally have a good go at reality. For most of us though, our love for stories started on the other side of the experience — as r…[Read more]

Jeremiah 29:11 “I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD, “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
So how did everyone survive their goals last week? I did not really set any goals (I know, kinda hypocritical 😛). It was kinda an insane week. I’m hoping I will be able to do more this week…[Read more]

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…

Man, you guys, I can’t believe it’s already April! This year is passing way too quickly. At least school will be out (kinda) soon!
Anyway. How did your goals go last week? Anything too exciting happen? I was writing like a fury this week, yay inspiration! (I’m pretty sure we killed this word war 😉😛 )

Martin Detwiler replied to the topic Week 3: Writing Life; Writing with a Busy Schedule (Faith Blum) in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 7 years, 2 months ago
@morreafirebird I really like your point that writing is actually predominantly thinking, because that works very well with the whole idea of maintaining the Artist’s Eye. That’s where the 75% comes in, thinking day by day, when we’re out in the world living our lives, accumulating an awareness for the beauty and truth illustrated all around us,…[Read more]

Hello, Ereki! It is I, your local Worldsmith, Filewriter.
So… we didn’t get all those character profiles before the end of February, but that’s fine. For those of you haven’t written yours yet, feel free to do so now. Just read the instructions at the beginning of this thread. I hope you will.
But… with that said, it’s time for us to move on…[Read more]

Don’t worry. Nothing too drastic is going to be happening. But, there are going to be some changes, which the Guildmasters have been talking about and discussing for a few months now. We believe that these changes will help the forums (both general and guild forums) run more smoothly.

Hey everyone!
As your resident Smithing, (assistant to Wordsmith, a.k.a. @filewriter ) I bring to you the latest version of our Erekdale flag! I tried to tie in all of the unique elements that make up Erekdale, and transform it into a flag worthy of being flown across our lands.
What do you think?
