@gh24682468999 I like to commit myself to write till I reach a certain goal. Either for  30min-1hr or till I write 500 words. Nothing too big, or I won’t be able to handle it. Try to write at your peak energy level too. I don’t always get the chance, but I like to write in the morning, and I always write in the afternoon. The evening is when my…[Read more]

@dekreel I’m doing some editing. You still there?

@dekreel yes. Finish Narnia first 😉

Besides that, C.S. Lewis’ sci-fi trilogy is said to be good (I have the first book but I haven’t begun it yet). Then…
– Ilyon Chronicles, by Jaye L. Knight: great fantasy novels with a historical twist, and with the most tortured character you’ll ever meet.
– Blades of Acktar, by Trish Mingerink: they’re…[Read more]

@Dragon-Snapper *buries face in hands and groans* You are evil. Urgggg….

Um, so I’m not EXACTLY sure how this works, but I’m aware that it’s supposed to be a paragraph or something. HOWEVER… I kinda got carried away, and it… Yeah. Anyway. Apologies in advance for me not doing what I’m supposed to do.

Challenge: Show

Setting: Stuck at…[Read more]

@Dekreel FINISH NARNIA. It’s worth it.

Now for Sarah’s random and incredibly obscure book recommendations:

There’s this book that no one but me has ever heard of called The Gammage Cup, by Carol Kendall, and it’s a super good, whimsical little fantasy. And this other one called Mortis, by Hannah Cobb, which is about a school of assassins and…[Read more]

@sleepwalkingmk Good thoughts–the records of the biblical kings in Kings and Chronicles form some really interesting case studies of Experiments in Living & Poetic Justice. You can certainly use dramatic irony like that to create catharsis; in recent storytelling, Rogue One also uses a similar narrative technique in similar fashion (albeit with…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting She fell into his arms? Why don’t I remember this?

Oh, well. The mask scene was cool enough. I don’t need an ultra-dramatic scene.

@that_writer_girl_99 Yeah, I Renreyed (new word) the moment Ren took his helmet off.

Which isn’t really like me, but… the movie made me do it!

Btw, guys, you gotta understand that Snoke was actually really cool. Not because he was a scary villain, but because he wasn’t a scary villain. His perpetual good humor is something you almost never see…[Read more]

@That_writer_girl_99 I’m pretty sure Daeus has always shipped Rey and Kylo Ren… 😂

@Dragon-Snapper I will be back tomorrow to refute everything you just said with my irrefutable logic. Beware. *waves fork ominously*

@Dekreel Oh look, you added it to the list. 😂😂😂

Alright, folks! The first newsletter is in the books! Thanks you, everyone, for sharing your advice! @aislinn-mollisong is this week’s winner, but submit more advice for a chance to see your name in next weeks’ email!

@daeus Did you just…acknowledge the fact that you ship Rey and Kylo Ren?

@dekreel Still have any questions? Looks like there’s some good advice here.

@inkling-for-christ I might not have time to be involved, but I think this is a great idea.

@jenwriter17 Cool. Maybe we can share tips.

@Sam-Kowal Well, the Emperor wasn’t really established in the Originals, existing only as a vague reference in Ep. IV (“The Emperor has disbanded the galactic senate”) and a momentary hologram in Ep. V, yet he came back in Ep. VI as the Big Bad. With that in mind, the Knights going from vague references to an actual villainous force doesn’t seem…[Read more]

…when did we start calling him Broom Boy? What a sad nickname…
