@rochellaine 😀 This is a great topic.
Not really an un-famous person, but:
It is the writer who might catch the imagination of young people, and plant a seed that will flower and come to fruition.Â

@jenwriter17 You know you’re a bookworm when the tensest, most heartbreaking moments of a book make you get up and start pacing around the room, and the severe losses make you physically start banging the floor.

@amily-huddleston 😀 Welcome to the bestistest place on the internet!
I’m a writer of mostly fantasy, but your WIP sounds awesome 😀 C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien are two of my favorite authors as well. It’s great to have you, a realistic fiction writer is somewhat unique over here where fantasy and sci-fi are really popular.

@dekreel The first one… Tragim
The second… Caicurog
The third… Dekrezvesch
As for descriptions, hmm.
Slasizch
Slasizch is a massive, hulking, bug eyed beast. He actually looks truly terrifying- like a giant crustacean from the ocean, with a carapace and massive claws that could crush cars in their grip. He makes a high-pitched…[Read more]

valtmy replied to the topic Making Up Words in the forum Fantasy 8 years, 8 months ago
If your magic system is based around moving stuff about, maybe you can look up synonyms and terms involving transportation, conveyance, delivery etc.? Reseaching words that describe the different realms and nature of things (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) can also help you find ways to describe and differentiate the…[Read more]

Thanks for your suggestions! You guys have given me much to think about. It will take some time for me to process everything so perhaps I should go into detail about the different issues I am encountering. This may help me think this through more clearly and come to a…[Read more]

I think my favourite one is Szabolcs and if I ever find myself writing a high fantasy novel I’ll give that name to an orc captain or something.

@seekjustice AHHH, these names! I love them! Every single one of them!
Ahh, that’s okay. Well now you know!

SeekJustice replied to the topic Chasm Beasts in the forum Characters 8 years, 8 months ago
@dekreel That first one looks more surprised than evil. 😀 I feel like it should have a fairly cute name and be a bumbling henchman type of creature. I also feel it’s name should end with “Urry” like Gurry or Turry or Lurry, or something weird like that.
I have no ideas for that second one.
the third one looks almost noble. Like, if he could be…[Read more]

@dekreel Bye!
I love how depressed Marlin looks. That’s how I feel when I get writer’s block too 😀

@seekjustice Hm. For me the more I plan, the more unconfident I am. The more I’m like (Why am I doing this?!) I suppose planning isn’t my thing. Even though I tend to do it ALL THE TIME!
The KPA is going great! For once! I’m still a little unconfident, but I have found the secret to this:

*writing LOL
Anyway, I’m signing off now. I was…[Read more]

Greetings!! *tips hat*
So as you know, I am writing a Dr Who fan novella (I think I’ve started one too many topics exactly like this XD). Its setting is in the country of Taranar, which contains the Red Chasms, which homes hundreds of Chasm Beasts like myself. But unlike myself, these Beasts are evil, even bloodthirsty. (total and constant…[Read more]

@perfectfifths Thanks! Chibis are a lot of fun.
Questions though: that first one is supposed to be a guy (teen). It was actually my first attempt at drawing a guy. Do you think it looks like a guy?

SeekJustice replied to the topic Writers' Corner #12 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 8 months ago
I find that the more I plan, the more excited I get for it, but also the less likely I am to give up on it in the middle. How’s the KPA going?

Joy replied to the topic Writers' Corner #12 in the forum General Writing Discussions 8 years, 8 months ago
@seekjustice Completely relatable. I get so busy planning that I never get to write the stupid thing! This KPA has been an exception, though, which I am SO thankful for

No, I haven’t yet! I’m still outlining and writing character charts. 😀 I have the overwhelming desire to have everything absolutely ready before I write.
