Oh yeah, video game design is one of my majors. (I forget who knows what about me.)
It is a 2D platformer, but it’s a bit odd, because the character you control is a ball and you can only move it by using a grapple to swing around. And then there’s a lot of normal platformer obstacles: spikes, spinning blades, falling boulders, etc.

Life’s good. This last semester of school felt like it dragged on for SO long, so it’s nice to be on break. I had a couple of big projects that were a bit stressful. The main one was a semester-long software development project that I had to do as part of a group.
I kind of squandered a lot of time last summer, so, like I said, I’m trying to be…[Read more]

How’s everyone doing? (Don’t know if anyone will see this, since it looks like no one’s been on here much, but just in case, I do still exist. I am alive.) I see that the last thing I posted on here was about that book I was going to write last summer. Well, that did not go anywhere whatsoever. I might try again this summer since I’m trying to be…[Read more]

Hey Jonas! I’m glad you’re alive. Do let us know how the writing goes, even if you don’t get a goal done within a specific summer. :] We’ve all tried to write a book in a summer with various levels of success, and at least it gives you a better perspective on how you can avoid burning out next time.
I think everyone’s doing fine. Not as many peop…[Read more]-

Oh yeah, a group project like that sounds super stressful. Glad that’s over.
Video game project? I didn’t know you dabbled in that. (Or maybe you’ve mentioned it and I woefully forgot.) That is cool. What kind of video game? There are so many kinds and I usually assume 2D platformer when people say that, but that’s just because I’m a big Hollow Kn…[Read more]-

Oh, thanks! I do have some people already signed up for feedback, but I won’t say no to more.
Access granted. There’s nothing there quite yet, but I’ll tag you when I get something posted.

Due to being behind and the fact that I have a busy weekend, I’m just going to push my writing schedule back a week, so I should have the first chapter done this Monday. Not a great way to start, but I’ll just have to work with it.

I tried to give you access ahead of time, but if it says you can’t just request editing access and I’ll change it to viewing access after that.

Understandable. It’ll probably take everyone a bit to get in a good rhythm.

This will be the topic thread for my summer writing project.
Here is the link to the google doc where I’ll be posting new chapters: h ttps://docs.google.com/document/d/14DKn037QPKFreK_lu3rmOb273tSceyVhRV49RJtrVYQ/edit?usp=sharing

Reminder that today is our goal for sharing first chapters (or just word counts, or whatever, depending on what exactly you’re doing.)
I personally am a bit behind where I wanted to be, but I will hopefully get things posted by the end of the day. I don’t want to get…[Read more]

Yeah, that’s understandable. However you want to do it is fine.
Maybe it does make the most sense for everyone to just join that group, since I believe everyone who is participating said they were okay with using email.

Great! No problem!
@everyone
Here is a link to a google doc that has a chart showing the feedback set-up. This got a bit confusing, so this will serve as the definitive version that you can go to. Each person in the top row will be giving feedback to the people below them.

Cloaked Mystery replied to the topic Anyone interested in organizing a "writing group" over the summer? in the forum General Writing Discussions 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Here we go. Some slight rearrangements (sorry for tagging people again)
@whalekeeper : Koshka and GRCR
@highscribeofaetherium : GRCR and Jonas
@elishavet-pidyon : Koshka and Loopylin
The three of you can ignore what I said above.
That work?

Cloaked Mystery replied to the topic Anyone interested in organizing a "writing group" over the summer? in the forum General Writing Discussions 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Whatever feedback, I guess. People might ask for something specific, but other than that, it’s up to you. I’m just trying to set things up so that people can be motivated to write and have people to talk to about it, I don’t care exactly what people want to do.
Ok!

Cloaked Mystery replied to the topic Anyone interested in organizing a "writing group" over the summer? in the forum General Writing Discussions 11 months, 2 weeks ago
You had put down that you were just going to share word count, but it’s totally not too late to change it. Give me a minute to straighten this out.

Okay, I have divided us up into who will give feedback to who. This is split up as well as I could so that everyone gets to read something their interested in, but other than that it’s random.
If the data I’ve received is accurate, there are actually…[Read more]

Oh, yeah, I should probably look at getting that set up. Thanks for the reminder!
This is my plan: based on the questions I asked in that form, I’ll try to come up with a reasonable way to split people up so that everyone can read something they’ll hopefully enjoy. So, everyone will be assigned to read and give feedback on a specific…[Read more]

Up to you. If you want, you could post it wherever you’ll be posting everything else.
I don’t remember if you were planning on sharing your full writing, but if you are, having someone else who knows where you’re going could be useful for feedback, but otherwise I guess it’s just for your own reference.

Okay, today is the “official” start! The goal was for outlines to be done today if you were doing one, but obviously if you need to keep working on it, that’s fine as well. First chapters (i.e. how ever much you want to do as your first chunk) are “due” in a…[Read more]
