Selah CJW started the topic Summoning Beta Readers! in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 10 months ago
Hello, all! It seems like ages since I’ve last been on here, and I’m sure I’m missing some tags for my former beta group…if so, I’m sorry. ::P I’m tagging what I hope is all of you who currently have access to my book even if you have not read it yet, and probably some of you who don’t. I know there’s gotta be a couple of you tagged who haven’t…[Read more]

Livi Ryddle replied to the topic And so it begins! in the forum Introduce Yourself 4 years ago
Welcome! Lovely name, Vivian! Important question: have you seen PotC? (disclaimer: I’ve only seen the first one lol but I’m gonna see the others at some point soon, hopefully.)
I’m gonna try to introduce myself in just a few sentences…
My name is Livi, and I’m known for my long introductory paragraphs and millions of questions.…[Read more]

@kate @wordsmith @taylorclogston @noahlitle
I’ve been workshopping my synopsis with a dedicated Facebook group and making some improvements. Below is what I gave them, with some small tweaks based on the feedback I got. The second synopsis is a complete retake based on the feedback I got. I’d love your opinion.

@wordsmith Do you know if she met it?

Daeus Lamb replied to the topic The Songkiller's Synopsis!!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 2 months ago
So I posted the blurb on Realm Makers. Verdict was it didn’t have a clear enough plot! (People also wanted a little stronger sense of the world it was set in.)
I’ve buckled down and tried a rewrite. What do you think?

Daeus Lamb replied to the topic Tagline critique in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 2 months ago
I was actually putting my stock in that last one. 😏
Let me make sure it wasn’t just poor wording because I feel like the concept is on target. Do any of you like “ heroes are born to dream, but some dreams come to haunt them” ?

Taylor Clogston replied to the topic writer's voice – concrete definition? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 2 months ago
@wordsmith No worries regarding the ellipses =P It kind of plays into the topic. It’s something that works for you, and maybe works for your general audience, but is different enough to orthodox punctuation that someone like me has trouble interpreting it.
“we still need to talk about why the language makes voice itself.”
Well, yeah, but that’s…[Read more]

Taylor Clogston replied to the topic writer's voice – concrete definition? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 2 months ago
@wordsmith Thanks for deepening your previous discussion! I’m afraid I’m having a hard time following you. That might be from your heavy elliptical style, but it’s probably just me.
So I think that everyone so far, you and myself included, agree that voice is “Those aspects of writing which, intentionally or not, differ you from other…[Read more]

Taylor Clogston replied to the topic writer's voice – concrete definition? in the forum General Writing Discussions 4 years, 2 months ago
@wordsmith I feel like you’re getting off topic a bit. That sort of conversation is really interesting (and I think it’d be great to have it in a different thread) but I think Edmund’s original question precludes yours.
We talk a lot as writers about things like authorial voice but don’t tend to share definitions beforehand. We can’t really have…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah XD My deepest apologies, but I must support my own guild before all, thus Parimi Alca’s place as first. And, of course, my dear friend Wordsmith resides in Rillumen. And IRL friends most always top NIRL (not in real life) friends 😀
@wordsmith How’d you guess? *grins*

There’s more than one way to break character. XD
And do you realize you’ve committed the grave error of spelling MERAKI wrong????!!!

Selah CJW replied to the topic word War VIII in the forum Word Wars 4 years, 3 months ago
XD At least you can break character long enough to really enjoy something someone else said. Lol!
Wow. The only reason I’m not entirely disowning you is because of your support in certain recent conversations. Meraki third? The guild of awesomeness? The guild who’s won a ton of wars? Wow. *shakes…[Read more]

@selah-chelyah *grins* Good 😀
@wordsmith *cackles* *twists face into an awesome and villainyous sneer* *says with a cool and villainyous accent that’s probably Russian* It is an honor to have taken part in confuzzling you, my good sir…
Congrats to Meraki! The third-bestest guild! (In my own humble opinion)*throws confetti*

Selah CJW replied to the topic word War VIII in the forum Word Wars 4 years, 3 months ago
Lol! The time difference gets me sometimes, too. My guildmaster is literally exactly the opposite time from me (in Australia). And I usually eat late (or really late) as well, so you’re certainly not alone there. 😛
Sorry to confuse you, lol. Though it is rare enough to be slightly enjoyable. XD But I…[Read more]

@wordsmith Having inside jokes, if you will. *nods* That’s a better way to phrase it.
