@rochellaine  Great idea!!!  I have a few…

Girls: Lenna, Mern, Andraya

Boys: Den, Boren, Remiro (rem-EAR-oh)

Kinda weird, but…*shrugs*.

@skredder  *starts chanting* Write it, write it, write it, write it…!  This has the makings of a brilliant story.  🙂

@radically-surrendered my friend gave me permission. So here’s a few pictures. XD

@livgiordano I’m gonna be really busy today and tomorrow, but I’ll get that to you as soon as I can.

@emily-d @livgiordano YEEEEEEES! Wars of the Realms is SO AWESOME! I gotta get a t-shirt one of these days……

@emily-d I don’t think I’ve listened to Celtic Women. I just have one Irish music CD.

I heard the Newsboys once in the God’s Not Dead movie (seen it?), and I really liked them.

@skredder Haha!  Do we realize what being writers does to us?  “She’s torn.  She has come to care for those she once saw as only nightmares of her past.”  We talk in “book blurb” language!  🙂

I found the same thing happening to me when I first started going to law school.  After a year, my speech changed drastically, and I started saying strang…[Read more]

@notawriter Cool.  What type of person do you think Jana Neader is, though?  Is it a hero or heroine, or a sidekick or mentor?  I think it could sound kind of forbidding and be a “dark lord” or something, but could also be sweet and sympathetic.  🙂

@dekreel Those are cool names!  I like Airow, Dae, and Adric a lot!  I was kind of thinking for t…[Read more]

…….That was weird……..

TAKE TWO! *claps clapperboard*

Thanks @rochellaine!  I might actually use some of those for my novella! (assuming I ever get back to it……)

Anyway, can I drop in some names, too?

Girls (I got these from a book, mostly)

• Airow
• Aine
• Altair
• Ashe
• Vekka
• Cleo
• Dae
• Dove
• Elke
• Fae
• Faune
• Ginger

@rochellaine
Cool 😀 I like Jana Neader. Though I don’t really have any characters that I could use it for.

@aratrea  Yep, @rochellaine is right! Outside of the topic, before Rochellaine posted, it SAID I posted recently, but my post is gone!

Spam?! Hmmm, that makes sense, actually. It’s happened about three times, and all of those times, I remember that the posts were pretty long. This one was long, too.

If it helps, here is another place where it…[Read more]

@rochellaine Thank you! 🙂 Of course, during the story some bad people try to get the MC’s help in taking down the royal family, but she’s torn. She has come to care for those she once saw as only nightmares of her past.

@dekreel So that’s what happened! 🙂 I got a notification in my email that you replied to me but when I went to read it I couldn’t find the post!

@aratrea I know it happened to her on my topic Character Name Exchange.

@waterlily That’s great! Which ones do you like best?  I want to know if anyone has the same favorites as I do.

(I actually held back on my favorite of favorites.  I am going to try to use it in one of my own stories, because I love it so much.) 🙂

@gh24682468999 I don’t recommend making your story short just to write a short story. Make the story as long as it should be. A story should be short when the concept, plot, etc are simple enough that a short story is all that is needed; a story should be long when the concept, plot, etc need more room to flourish.

Setting is important for any…[Read more]

@gh24682468999

Heh. You tagged me.

Welp, writing short stories is actually really difficult for me. The only thing harder than writing a short story for me is coming up with a character’s name. XD

But I’ll give you what advice I can from the few successful times I’ve written or read short stories.

So, if you do have a big story world, don’t…[Read more]

@waterlily  This does sound like a neat concept! The only thing that doesn’t quite make sense to me is how the seawyrms could have her family crest marked on them? Am I just misunderstanding? Of course, when you go to write this you can definitely explain in better detail. XD

@aella Sounds like my fourteen year old brother. XD Yeah, just try to make it sound as logical and straightforward as possible.

I asked my brother for advice, and he said that what he found logical and made sense was the story-structure database on KM Weiland’s website. Because it probably uses books/movies that he is already familiar with. And…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 I am getting into writing short stories right now, so I want to see what advice everyone else gives you. 🙂

Yeah, I would advise not really making the world super developed, and with lots of back story and such. With the setting, I really don’t know. It possibly could add a lot, and be important to your story, but I’m really not…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 do you have the link to that post by chance?
