Hey guys! In case you don’t remember me, I’m Jess. I’m actually your guildmaster, and I’m not dead!
First up, full apologies. A fair few major life things happened, and I was overwhelmed and basically shut myself in my room and just cried while trying to keep on top of things for basically a month. On that, prayer for dealing with deadlines and…[Read more]

Welcome back, @writercatherine !
What’s going on for all of you? How’s life? How’s writing?
Life is good! I’m starting school tomorrow. I haven’t written much lately, just been editing the second book of a series.

@writercatherine – Ooh, I’ll have to check that trilogy out. Always looking for new books to read, especially Christian fiction. Well, I just finished The Unlikely Escape of Uriah Heep (by H.G. Parry) yesterday, one of the best books I’ve read recently. Though it’s not Christian, it’s clean and I highly recommend it. I’m also reading Great…[Read more]

@writercatherine – I’m rather new so I don’t think we’ve met, but…hi! Welcome back!
Lol, that’s <i>so</i> understandable. What books have you been reading recently? YES, we finally won a guild war! We had good teamwork. 😛
Writing’s been going uncharacteristically great for me, which is a blessing and even though I’m trying to come up with a…[Read more]

Guys, I’m so proud of you!
It was really nice to come back from a week of injections, hospital trips, conferences, and essays (legit. It should not be legal to assign teenagers with thirteen essays to do in five days. *dramatic sob*) and to find that you had gotten on with writing, and had done an a.m.a.z.i.n.g job at it. So proud. You guys made…[Read more]

Okay guys. So sorry I’ve been gone, been dealing with doctors not believing me about my allergies until it was pretty obvious I was a mess, combined with the end of term rush of writing a ton of essays and music reports. *facepalm* But I’m back now.
I’m agreeing with Grandmother’s hands. Also, seeing that it has to be in a dramatic setting, maybe…[Read more]

It seems like literal aeons ago, but once upon an Annual Theme of Pacing and Suspense, we looked creating a sense of suspense and atmosphere through objects in writing. And then more recently, we had a post from Martin about The Artist’s Eye, and to seek the beautiful in the ordinary everyday.
For the next two weeks, that’s exactly what we’…[Read more]

Final post until we’re caught up! *cheers*
So, this one is written by Jane, with the input of Faith and Daeus who are two of Story Embers’ self-published writers, unlike Jane who is very much neck deep in working through the traditional publishing world.
So you know from the start, both have their benefits and disadvantages. Particularly…[Read more]

J.A.Penrose started the topic Writing Life: Typing vs Writing by Hand in the forum Weekly Theme Discussion 7 years ago
Hello all!
This week’s (or more, last week’s) lesson is from Martin, and is looking at the pros and cons of typing, and writing by hand.
So, without any further rambling from Jess, let’s see what Martin has to say about notebooks and keyboards!
Things I’ve learned from my own experience with both mediums:

Pros:

Hey guys!
If you hadn’t noticed, we’re three weeks behind! *hides face in shame* However, I’m just going to catch it all up tonight so that we’re back on track!
This particular post was written by yours truly on why we should even write in the first place.

Results are up! We didn’t do so well this time, but we did know that. 😉 A fair few people didn’t get their counts in on time, and those of us who did, didn’t write a ton. Myself well and truly included.
But guess what, guys? There’s a good chance that we’ll have a word war in July when we’re Camp NaNo-ing to absolutely thrash the other guilds!…[Read more]

@writercatherine Hey! 😀 So I guess this is what we use in the place of a DM? Anyway, thanks for welcoming me and it’s great to meet you! How long have you been part of the guild?
Oh man, favorite book series is hard, but I would have to say probably Lloyd Alexander’s Prydain Westmark Trilogy or Lord of the Rings. It’s hard because I haven’t…[Read more]-
Hi! I’m sorry; I’ve been really inactive here of late. I’ve been part of the guild now since… looks like August 25, wow!
My favorite right now is the Restoration series by Terri Blackstock. It’s the best Christian fiction I’ve ever read. Highly recommend that one. The Four Kingdoms series by Melanie Cellier is another great Christian Fiction…[Read more]

Ohh, those books! My dad read those to me and my siblings when we were younger! It’s been a long time.

That is totally fine. :] I’m really inactive right now too. Just too many cool things going on. <:]
Thank you so SO much for recommendations! I'll definitely keep an eye out for those. Oh man, Rebel of the Sands is one of my favorites. <3 Thanks!

Yay! Did you hear that she’s writing the Notorious Virtues? It’s something related to Rebel of the Sands, but I forget what.

No, I did not hear about that! 😀 Wait, is it one of stories based on one of the other kingdoms? One of the more medieval English ones? Because if so, maybe I have heard of it… @writercatherine

@april-j-rhys Not sure? All I know comes from her newsletter and Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38347283-the-notorious-virtues).
