@Dekreel *buries her non-poetic head in pillow and groans* I’m working on it… 😛

@Dekreel Oh honey. I feel ya. I’ve been dealing with self-doubt myself over the past few months, and the conclusion I’ve basically come to is this:

You can’t be better than your best.

We look around at other people’s writing and beat ourselves up because we’re not as good or as ambitious as them, but we can’t even remedy the problem because…[Read more]

@dekreel Please don’t feel guilty for having different goals for your writing than other people. It’s fine to write just for fun or as a hobby. Writing with the ambition to be published one day doesn’t make someone’s writing more important than someone who feels the way you do. And God calls everyone to use their time in varying ways, and gives us…[Read more]

@Dekreel

Hey. Look. I’m not going to say you’re an amazing writer, but I am going to say that if you like writing and if it’s something you enjoy then it’s a gift. It’s a gift from God.

He’s blessed you with that gift and you don’t have to be a higher standard, a better writer, as good as ‘so-and-so’, because He’s given you the gift in exactly…[Read more]

@dekreel Well, if it’s just a page of fifteen people saying “Welcome to the bestistest place on the Internet” or whatever, I might skim it.

Oh whoops I didn’t see that @dekreel was already going to…*shrugs*  Can I draw her anyway?

@dekreel This topic is two years old, back when Sarah was still with us.

Hellooooo…I’m writing!  Anyone around?

@seekjustice @dekreel @supermonkey42 @jenwriter17 @anyone-else

Oya, KaPeeFers! I’m WRITING!

Hopefully.

If I don’t get distracted.

Which I probably will.

Oh well.

@sam-kowal @dragon-snapper @ariella-newheart @dekreel @ingridrd

@dekreel  Oh okay!  Hmmm…I’m not sure that sounds very feminine.

@introvert-girl  Persephone!!!!  YAS.  🙂

@dekreel I actually had a character nicknamed Peri once upon a time. Her full name was Perdita. A few other suggestions:
Perrine (This is a French name, and I think it sounds beautiful.)
Persephone (Greek Mythology)
I also had the thought that you could look for names that don’t begin with P, but have a “per” somewhere in them such as Juniper.

@dekreel There’s a movie (which I believe is based on a book) where one of the characters is named Miss Peregrine. It could work as a girl’s name I believe.

@dekreel Thank you!

@ethryndal LOTR is indeed better than some things. Dying, for instance.

…your kind words are appreciated. You made my heart happy.

@dekreel  Is your character a girl?

All I can think of are names like Peregrine (for a boy), Parrianne and Perris (those aren’t that good, I know).  😉

@waterlily Glad you liked it!

@dekreel My first thought was that it could be a nickname for Pearl or Margaret (which means pearl). Some others I found were Perenelle, Peridot, Persis, Pearline, and Perecia.

There’s actually a thread I found somewhere on a baby-naming site which I’ll link to in case you want to wade through it for more ideas. I…[Read more]

@dekreel  The only ones I could think of are Peridot, (A gemstone)  or Periwinkle? (this one isn’t a real name. Well its the name of a shade of purple, and a flower. But I’ve always thought it would make a cute name for a character.)   🙂 Or maybe her full name could be Peri and her nickname could be Pearberry- Actually maybe that’s weird. For…[Read more]

@dekreel *dies laughing* We need to figure out a caption for the last one of Josiah!
