@ariella-newheart   Oh, I feel you.  I’ve struggled with this a bit myself.  🙂

The first names that came to mind: Leslie (both), Dara (girl), Parker (boy), Delphine (girl), Red (both), Marcus (boy), Georgia (girl).

Hope those help!

@sage-g  Be my guest, madam.  🙂 🙂

@jenwriter17  Oh, no worries!  😉

@dekreel  Ha!  😂

I’m kinda late to the party, but can I just say: this is priceless!!!  ❤️❤️❤️

So…I sorta disappeared for the weekend, but I’m back!!!

I have 3 characters; here are their descriptions:

Jaclyn Fallows—the MC for my fantasy novella.  15 years old, has caramel hair that goes to the middle of her back, gray-blue eyes, a few freckles, and probably a mischievous smile/smirk.  She i…[Read more]

Tagging @Ethryndal for gracing us all with her dazzling wit and making us all laugh with her snazz and sarcasm. Every forum needs a sarcastic elf.

@Joy perfect! So glad it was helpful. 😀

@jane-maree @cindygreen Thanks so much!

@daughteroftheking Aren’t all writers secretly time travelers? 😉

@christi-eaton Thanks! (Also, side-note, I’m finally “officially” joining you in the theater department- I’m playing Mother Gothel in a brief comedy sketch with some friends for a 4-H competition 😀 )

@aratrea *grins* I’m glad you liked it! And change definitely gives a new…[Read more]

@daughteroftheking Thanks!

Also, maybe I should clarify that he’s not leaving leaving… mainly he’s stepping down from editor-in-chief; he’ll still be on the forum sometimes. There’s a post about it on the main KP website. 😉

@Sam-Kowal ha! Well, remind me, and I will. ;P

And YES. Depth is everything. If you can boil your entire world down to a single deep, resonant core story/concept, so much the better for you. Hard to stress enough how important that is. Focus on what you have and make it so magical you don’t have to go look for other things to distract you.

@slylilhuntress  Hello and welcome!!!  Looking forward to seeing you around the forum!  🙂

@Daeus I’ll have you know I was racing to get that typed out before you posted and said all my stuff for me. XD

No, good points though. Maps are important… I have them… in my head… XD Allegorical and historical elements too. Oooh ooh, in fact @Joy, I actually have a cool thing for you. Four ‘pillars’ for you to figure out, that’ll give you…[Read more]

@Joy excellent question. Someday I want to write a book on worldbuilding, but I’ll try to refrain from dumping the entire tome off on you right here. XD

The first thing, I think, is to realize that worldbuilding is not so much a list of facts about where your story takes place as it is a key— like the key on a map— to discovering why your…[Read more]

@rochellaine  😂 Hahahaha!  Thank you muchly.

@daughteroftheking  *bows*

@kaya-young  Thanks!  I just copy and paste pictures into PowerPoint so that I can have all of the collages in one place.  I usually just find pictures on Pinterest and sometimes just Google.  🙂
