idk man, just by characters alone I feel like this is going to be the novel of the year.

Also, I hope nothing bad happens to Harold. He seems like a cool guy.

@thearcaneaxiom

Hey, so I know I’m interjecting a bit into this conversation, but since I saw you talking about The Church of Latter Day Saints (or Mormonism) I was wondering if I could ask a few nagging questions I have about it.

Mainly about this Joseph Smith guy, and more specifically his legitimacy. Since the whole Church of Latter Day…[Read more]

She can totally join! The age rule isn’t super strict, so as long as she’s around Thirteen she can join.

Great! Best of luck with the project!

I find doing a character brain dump helps a lot with fleshing out who this character is within my mind while also helping me get ideas going. So like taking a few pieces of paper, and without restriction or too much thought, freely writing down anything and everything that comes into my head about this character.

Appearance,…[Read more]

The thing that gives me the most and best plot ideas is really getting to know the story’s main characters. Like really getting to know them. Knowing them to the point to which they feel like real breathing people.

Get to know their dreams, fears, greatest loves, biggest regrets, the most consequential moments of their life, their…[Read more]

I’ll see if I can do something! Thanks for letting me know!

Your friends might be on to something. The words choices and flow of the poem has such an enthralling, I don’t know… texture to it?

Something about the poem feels so alive and playful. I really like it. Especially the last three lines. They are perfection.

@awsumfaith

Yo, this looks really cool! I have much respect to writers who create maps for their worlds, as its something I still aspire to do, haha.

If I had any suggestions it would to maybe make the names of each of the places on the map unique to your own world, history, and cultures.

Names like “Greenwood” and “Snowy Mountains” could be…[Read more]

@kyronthearcanin

Cool! I’ve been thinking about writing some articles as well, as I’ve had a few epiphanies and pressing thoughts while writing recently…

Anyways, as for you question, honestly the best answer I can give you is to write about something you are most captivated by at the moment. Has there been anything related to writing pressing…[Read more]

Huh, I guess it’s not 2022 anymore lol.

But yeah, the real date is March 30th 2023 not 2022. Thanks for the heads up! Will be sure to correct it in future newsletters. 🙂

@esther-c

The members who critique and the members who get their work critiqued are one and the same! When you are a part of the group, the only requirement is to edit one teammate’s work a month, but you can post as many or as few works of your own as you like to get critiqued.

So basically you and your teammates are critiquing each other’s…[Read more]

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll get on the issue post-haste. 👍

@sarafini

Ooo, I’ll have to look into that! I love seeing different creative ways of doing writing challenges and contests.

@e-m-trepke

Nice nice. I look forward to seeing your thoughts!

Interesting question! While I don’t know too much about New York during that time period, I do know that around that time electric power was still in early development and telephones were becoming more common, but were still considered a luxury item.

I did little research about New York (Specifically New York City) in the year 1899 and here’s…[Read more]

Cool! Here’s some tips that have helped me with article writing:

1. Write about something that is meaningful or has personal significance to you.

2. Before writing ask yourself: “What problem am I trying to solve?” this will help guide your research and writing.

3. Brain dump every and all thoughts and ideas you have on the subject…[Read more]
