Daeus

@daeus Hm, it’s a bit long. I’ll try to see if I can cut a couple parts out of it later….

@seekjustice Mm. I agree. It’s kinda hard though because throughout the battle I don’t just focus on one character, it’s more like I keep switching to different people throughout it. Plus, the “main” character that I focus mostly on is kinda an awkward…[Read more]

@daeus if you’re still trying to decide…what about “The Ink Institute”? (Off of @sam-kowal’s idea)

@daeus 😀 Yes, it definitely is pretty complicated. Thanks!

@waterlily Hmmm… Good question. Is this for the sci-fi NaNo you were talking about? 🙂

If you do first person, then you can basically get a full-on view of what the character is thinking. So you’re more inside his/her head, seeing what (s)he is seeing, feeling what (s)he is feeling. But that also means that the movement of the reader is…[Read more]

@0-0enyali0-0  Oooh! That’s a good question! Others might have better answers than me, but let me try…

So it sounds to me like you’re describing every detail of what’s going on in the battle by itself. That tends to sound like a school lecture if you describe a dramatic scene from the outside without looking at how the characters are feeling…[Read more]

@daeus Exelsior Writing Academy has a nice ring to it, for what it’s worth. 🙂

Hmmm… Kingdom Writing Academy? That goes along with the theme of the website. However, if it’s just going to be on this website, that would be repetition. Overall I like “Excelsior.”

Never heard that name before! Maybe you could have a motto or tagline that te…[Read more]

@daeus maybe a mix of both? Like, Excelsior Academy for Excellent Writing? Or Excelsior School of Writing Technique?

@Daeus I like that… not as much as Excelsior though.

Ugh. Decisions decisions.

You know what? I’m going to just throw caution to the winds and say go with Excelsior. I can’t think of anything I like better or even as well as. If you can think of a tagline of sorts to go with it though, so it’s more clear what it means and what it’s for, that…[Read more]

@daeus If you’re going to do Write Better Academy, then you have to do ‘Write More Better Academy.’ That’ll sell people, won’t it? 😉

@daeus

And he comes to us for suggestions of names?

Yeah. I have no idea. You’d think a former fantasy writer would have a dictionary replete with such names, but I’ve never had a strong suit for that.

Only things I can think of are:
1) Lamb Technique School… [another loki facepalm please]
2) Writing School of Excellence
3) Lamb…[Read more]

Hi @daeus 😀

Uuuuhhh

You know, I actually really like “Excelsior,” but I kind of agree with @kate-flournoy people might go “huh?”

I have a LONNNGG history with making too-complicated names.

(I once made an imaginary world with over fifty countries, all named things like “Ejapania” and “Exenlite”. I also begged my parents to name one of my…[Read more]

@Daeus oooh, I really like the idea behind Excelsior, but most people are probably just going to go… ‘huh? Sounds like some weird Latin elitist club or something… *yawns**scrolls past*’

So… maybe something slightly less high and lofty and a little more down-to-earth. (Can’t believe I just said that.) I can’t think of anything right off the…[Read more]

@cindygreen Basically (SPOILER) Daeus is the king of the Kingdom of Pen. Come to think of it, I should use this for my KeePer story!

@daeus Got any more ice cream?? *dog-panting*
