Martin Detwiler started the topic Week 16: Writing Life; Handling Critiques and Criticism in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 6 years, 11 months ago
Hello Ereki!
Here we are at the beginning of another week, ready to tackle another aspect of our Writing Life. Maddie Morrow has some words to say about how to handle critiques and criticism, so without any further ado here is what she said:
Letting others see our work is probably one of the hardest parts of being a writer. Thatβs our heart a…[Read more]

Princess Foo replied to the topic Prompt War: Beauty in the Ordinary in the forum Announcements 6 years, 11 months ago
So, in the interest of A Decision Needs To Be Made, I am going to say that since @seekjustice is our writer, and she already has a plan, we are going to go with her idea.
@the-inkspiller I appreciate the work you put into your outline, but I think it will be easier for seekjustice to write her story idea rather than to write someone else’s story…[Read more]

Princess Foo replied to the topic Prompt War: Beauty in the Ordinary in the forum Announcements 6 years, 11 months ago
Write a story where you bring out the beauty of something ordinary in the middle of a very dramatic setting.
So… we need to decide our setting and premise. Today, if possible, so @seekjustice can start writing tomorrow. Seekjustice, you said you had an idea you wanted to flesh out. Is that ready? @filewriter also came up with some good…[Read more]

Deadline… I suppose I should have one of those, shouldn’t I? But… I don’t. I think I did. At some point.
I guess, it would be best if I could have it by the end of the month. I’m going to try to get this project up and running by July, because I leave for camp on July 1st. So… before then would be great. But, if you can’t get it…[Read more]

@trallion, That’s all right. I’m still waiting on some others as well. I’m not really in that much of a rush, and you don’t even have to do it, if you don’t want to. I just think it’s fun. And, when I finish this secret project, you’ll probably be glad you did. XD
I’m glad I got to come back in time to meet you too! I’ll see you around! Whether…[Read more]

Welcome @trallion , to the perilous land of Erekdale…
*coughs* It’s actually quite safe here. Sometimes pranks will be pulled and you’ll be bombarded with links to cool topics, but that’s about the extent of the danger in Erekdale.
I don’t have an official position here in the guild, but I’ve been here since the dawn…[Read more]

Hello Ereki! I made the mistake of looking at the Erekdale hangout chat and then I realized how much I really missed you guys. So… here I am. Cutting my hiatus short just for ya’ll. Happy? You should be. I was on vacation. π Nah, I’m kidding. I’m glad to be your Worldsmith again.

Welcome, @trallion, newest member of the clan! I am Lady Frosttongue, the mysterious member who lives far, far away from civilization. At least, I like to think of myself as mysterious.

@trallion *flies in through the window* Kree, kree! A new Ereki! π
You also meet me on the chat. But I’m Catwing the catwing, which is a cat with wings (also part cheshire so if I start confusing you just let me know. :P). And as @karthmin said, I’m the Word Master. That just means I help with the Word Wars. *takes a bow*
Oh! We’ll need to…[Read more] -

Welcome @trallion !! We met in the chat. This is Amy. I am in charge of our monthly prompt wars. You can find this month’s thread about that here. It’s not related to the Embers Wide short story competition going on. This month’s deadline is June 30th, and the word limit is 2500 words.
We generally brainstorm for a week, and then write and edit…[Read more]

Hi again fellow Ranger’s Apprentice fan @trallion
I am also a homeschooled second oldest child. I’m also glad to see someone else enjoys being second oldest. I did guess you were a boy, but I’m not really sure what made me think that, but thank you for clarification.
I play piano too, have been since I was four. Wow, it’s been ten years since I…[Read more]

Veraza Winterknight replied to the topic I Finally Got Around to This in the forum Introduce Yourself 7 years ago
That’s cool! How many pieces have you composed? If you don’t know the exact number, a rough estimate is fine.
I have’t heard of most of those, actually. Just Tolkion, Brian Jacques, Christopher Paolini, Andrew Peterson, and Lloyd Alexander.
Have you read all of the Chronicles of Prydain? And have you seen the Black Cauldron movie?

Ariella Newheart replied to the topic I Finally Got Around to This in the forum Introduce Yourself 7 years ago
@trallion I read The Hero and the Crown a long time ago. I should probably read it again since I’ve forgotten most of the story. π
I guess tea is a writer thing. Either that or coffee, but I don’t really like coffee.

Ah, so if you’re wanting help with your WIP, there is a critiques section for writing, and there’s also a general writing section, and a character section, and a worldbuilding section. You can get to all them just by clicking on “Forum” up in the menu, btw. π And definitely tag me if you make a topic! I love analyzing and discussing…[Read more]

@trallion Hai! Glad to see ya around since the live chat. π
Awkward question, but I was curious due to being able to solve it through context clues: are you a boy or a girl? XD
Look forward to seeing you here. Join Knaphollow as a guild if you can. π
