WritersQuill is Born!
Hello everyone!
Thanks for being part of the blog site's name change. It won't change anytime soon so you can start following WritersQuill again. We'll let you know if we're going to change the site address to the more fitting "writersquill.blogspot.com"
Don't forget to attend the org's activity on September 9, the fiction writing workshop!
For now there will be no new site activities so everyone can focus on the readings for the event, but the Save the Words activity will still push through. The deadline for that activity will most likely be on September 16.
That's all for now. See you all soon!

Save the Words!
Zounds!
Fellow writers and artists, the world of literature quaeritates its members to lend their aid! Though the conception of new words support the tradition of wordsmithing, it creates an operiment which prevents us from realizing dire repercussions - pernatique (yet much needed) words being subjected to venalitious offers to extinction!
But do not panic, for we could do something! Like essomeric wizards, we will search, expose and riviate for these endangered words from all latibules and revive those that are already dead. Let us not allow these words to vanish, for they just might be the talismans against a nequient language of vacuity and tortiloquys only agonyclites and grammaticasters could worship! The power is in our hands, let us make known to our foes the meaning of theomeny no odynometer could measure!
OR

Asides from saving words from extinction, you get to expand your vocab, criticize the grammatically wounded intro above, be prepared for an upcoming WriterSkill activity, and most of all, you get to sound smart!
Don't forget to reply in the comment box and tell us what word(s) have you adopted!

Special Prompt
Hello boys and girls of WriterSkill!
Do you need more prompts to write? Do you like history? Why don't you help out a fellow artist in need!
Rai Perez is looking for writers to help write short stories! The setting is set during the Phil-American war, and she's not focusing on the big things that happened but the little things: re-concentration laws, war atrocities and experiences of the local populace. So, if you want to firm those writing muscles, go go go! Here's a note from her:
Hi, I'm another Rai from ID and I'm currently in need of contributing writers for my Senior's Creative Project. I'm compiling an anthology which I will then illustrate into sequential art. The stories are set during the years of 1898-1903 of the American Occupation. Its historical fiction, so full creative license is can be wielded over your characters. So for anyone interested in history or just want to challenge themselves with story prompts, or just wants to have their work adapted into sequential art...
I've set up a group which would basically function as the creative cauldron for the whole project in which the prompts will be posted every few weeks, or if anyone has his own story in mind...
