I will also post a sign-up thread for anyone to request resume assistance and review.

I wish to be part of the next Workshop. You are looking for archmcshane.

Welcome to the Writing and Role-playing Guild Workshops! Your host will be me, VBabe.

Each month the workshop will cover a different topic, alternating between a writing topic and a role-playing topic. The workshops will take place on the weekend in Skype and afterwards a thread with similar information will be posted in the guild, so the conversation can continue and those who couldn't make it can still benefit from the information.

All you have to do is sign-up in this thread whenever a workshop is announced and, then, show up during the scheduled time. During the Skype workshop, you'll be expected to participate in an informal exercise that gives you practice in the topic. These exercises may involve you pairing with someone for a two-minute role-play, you posting a brief example of your work in the thread afterwards, or perhaps just the good faith that you worked on the exercise on your own while the Skype workshop was going on.

So, without further ado, the third Writing and Role-playing Guild Workshop will be...


Sign-up below by posting your Skype username and a brief description of what you hope to learn or accomplish in the workshop.

P.S. This workshop has been placed under the role-playing category, but this workshop will equally apply to both writing and role-playing.

Bump!

Bump!

No one is interested? That's okay, I'll cancel this workshop and reschedule for a different topic.

What topic do you want to see for the next workshop? Ideally the topic will be role-playing related.

Maybe learning how to vividly describe characters' emotions when roleplaying? Or how to best stay in-character?

Thanks for the suggestion! (:

I am still taking ideas. This workshop will be for you guys, so I want you to enjoy it.

Eep! I would have signed up. I thought this was the same workshop Mercury was running which I'd signed up for already. I could always use a writing workshop. ^^

I agree with JTC. I find I fall to the same phrases and descriptions time and time again for strong emotions and things. Like if my character is frightened, I describe breathing becoming more rapid, maybe trembling or tensing up, but I think I just need more ways to illustrate emotions in my characters.

Nope, our workshops were not related. We just happened to pick the same topic.

Any other suggestions?
