The "lie" can be just an untruth that she accepts. Here, the untruth can be that she knows the way to happiness. She thinks that by expanding her husbands land and wealth, this will keep her fami...
Most of your example names only use monophthongs. You can expand the different vowel sounds available if diphthongs are also allowed. ai, ou, au, ei, ie, etc. Other sounds are not diphthongs bu...
I'm a fellow Writing Excuses lover. I discovered their podcast somewhere during Season 11 and then decided to backtrack and listen to everything that came before. I've listened to literally hundred...
Another problem with this system is how the brain reading English doesn't require spelling to be correct, especially if the word has 4 or more letters. Basically, it's entirely possible to read th...
Using more compound sounds is a good start. Part of your problem comes from the syllables you're using - most of them are only 1 or 2 letters. The longest of your sample names is all of 5 letters -...
Anecdotal challenge! Write a fictional story with at least three characters in which the plot is based on something you actually experienced. It can be anything, so long as it isn't something that...
See this as theme or prompt or style or writing restriction or all or none. No real rules - write what you will. As much or as little as you wish. No incorrect answers. Whatever you find. Sent...
Write 3-8 lines of blank verse on the subject of soap. You can try to sell me a brand (real or fictional). You can just extol the virtues of soap. You can complain that it's inedible. Choose someth...
The "last activity" data on posts appears to be inaccurate. I just answered a question, but while the answer count shows my answer, the last activity data still refers to the time the question was ...
In SomeOther systems, there is an easy way to mark an Answer as the "accepted answer". I don't see an obvious way to do that here. Is there a way? If not, should there be?
I've been away for some time (for personal reasons), and noticed that we now have a category “writing challenges”. Now there are some old challenges in Meta which predate that category, but IMHO wo...
I suggest having "Meta", being the least "real" on each Community, be the last Category in the (currently horizontal menu) list. If others disagree, then it can be as-is. But whether that gets cha...
Done. Moderators have a "change category" tool that allows for moving posts between categories. I just manually moved the two challenges that were on Meta to the Challenges category.
That's a bug, yes. :-( Thanks for the report. As a workaround, if you choose[1] the "insert" button instead of using "enter", it inserts the link into the markdown and puts you back in the editor...
I just got caught by something I consider a bug: I wanted to link to a web site, and used the link button above the entry box to do so. After I finished entering (or rather, pasting) the link into ...
There is currently a suggested edit in the Q&A category that appears to have no change (left and right sides of the diff are identical), and the post is not viewable (at least to me). Clicking ...
I just noticed that some of my old meta questions here are marked as imported on my profile page, although they clearly weren't (they were meta questions about this site; there's no reason why I wo...
The links in the banner text for the Q&A category all lead to 404s due to (I assume) outdated links. E.g. "fiction" leads to https://writing.codidact.com/questions/tagged/1/fiction instead of h...
I don't know. What this place needs is not more data but more users. Bringing over a few more months of questions from SE would give the few of us who still check in here something to chew on for a...
We need to flesh this out, but the idea I have in my head, and that I recall discussing on the forum thread (which I haven't gone back and reread yet), is that in addition to votes we'll allow peop...
This is now configurable and I've moved Meta to the last position on this site.
There's no quick or complete fix, but the following things have worked for me. Plant the seeds early First, involve those new hires. When everything is new to them, you are in a better position ...
I would say that most of the time it does not apply. Suppose you are to document the use of one particular function. Good source code documentation instantly tells the user how to use that one fun...
