The Blacksmith is the generic “Hive Mind” of The Writing Forge. There is much debate as to the true identity of The Blacksmith. It may or may not even be a real person. But some think it may consist of multiple of the authors on this list (Daniel swears by all the fallen gods that it’s not him).
The Blacksmith is generally responsible for posting tips and tricks from The Writer’s Compendium as well as the exercises that The Forge uses in its weekly meetups.
It is the builder . . . it is the craftsman . . . the hand that wields the hammer of The Forge.
