Invisible friends
The other day, I got this idea for a writing exercise and I've decided to post it here to see if anyone's interested in giving it a try. It goes something like this:
Two writers pair up. They each invent a character and a setting, but they don't tell each other who the character or what the setting is. These characters will be each others' invisible ( Read more... ) -
Character creation, how?
How do you create the characters for your stories? I'm really curious, since so far I've seen quite different descriptions of the inhabitants of other authors' works from the way I usually talk about my main and side characters. For one, there has been way more pictures and physical descriptions, both of clothes and facial features/body type ( Read more... ) -
Anamnesis.
Glad to see naoki_hime and nonesane have already gotten the ball rolling. ♥ I'm going to throw my hat into the ring with the prologue I wrote today for my NaNo project, Anamnesis.
I don't plan on posting drafts here too often (though anyone who wants to read along as I write is welcome to do so at derailedtrees; comments = ♥), but I AM TERRIBLE AT WRITING BEGINNINGS -- ( Read more... ) -

How to sway them - a story of demons and...
Hi everyone!
Newbie here, both to scrawlology and NaNo - nice to meet you :)

First, I want to apologize for the polls not working yesterday; I haven't the faintest idea what's going with there - I double-checked the coding, and everything looks okay - but I want to thank everyone who posted or messaged me with their feedback regardless ( Read more... ) -
Questions for the masses ~
Is anyone aliiiiiiive out theeeeeere ....?
Kidding, kidding; I know what most of you are up to, and that all of you have been crazy busy. BUT! I'd like to propose two ideas, one for now and one for later, which might help get things moving here again!
The first was suggested to me this afternoon by the lovely naoki_hime. I know at least half of us here ( Read more... ) -
Prompt #6 + Challenges
Hello again, Scrawlers! Thank you to everyone who took the time to fill out the poll questions yesterday. It seems you all have just been busy, which is entirely understandable; I myself have written next to nothing in the past two weeks, so I appreciate how that goes ( Read more... ) -
A few quick questions for the group.
Hi Scrawlers,
I'll post our new prompt a little later after I'm sure LJ's actually going to let me post at all, but in the meantime I wanted to check in and see how everyone's doing. It's been a while since we've had any fresh submissions, and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, I wanted to take a quick, informal poll to get a handle on ( Read more... ) -
