Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic Character Name Meanings in the forum Characters 2 years ago
Ah, Charrie names! I love character name meanings!
Heir of Ashes
Viktor –Â Champion or conquerer (latin root, Russian derivative)
Alyona –Â bright light or torch bearer (Greek root, Russian derivative)
NadÃan – uh… I kinda made this one up, although it apparently is a Hebrew name meaning “pond”. However, in the language of my bo…[Read more]

MAYBE BECAUSE I SAID THE THIRD MIGHT END TRAGICALLY? O.O
However, I’ve been thinking about it, and their chances of getting married have grown exponentially.
It just depends on a certain spoiler….
But don’t worry, there’s hope, and considering that Reúven is one of my favorite characters, a pretty strong hope at that.

Wellllllllll…..
She wouldn’t marry anyone else.
Awww, November is adorable.
Actually, they met when they were 4-5 too, but Reúven didn’t like her! They were “enemies”. XD
She was the granddaughter of an old shepherd in the mountains that opened his house to Micha, and she was jealous of her Grandfather’s attention.…[Read more]

Novella is the bestest. (I mean, others have done virtuously, but thou excelest them all)
And that was out of context. XD Anyway….
Yeah, stuff has changed, and I think it’s for the better.
Fun fact: Reúven’s been planning to marry her since he was twelve. Of course, he hasn’t actually told anyone this, but… His author…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12 @ally’all
Oh! I do actually have three romantic subplots. One, you know about, one is a spoiler, and one may or may not end tragically. (But I think you know about that last one)
Anyway, I love making sweet, natural romances. My first was, of course, Alwin and Winifrith.
They sorta meet in the second book, but neither really…[Read more]

Your book’s cover is beautiful, by the way!

Oh! I love the moodboard! All the faith and light references are exquisite. They really ring true.
Ah, gotta love the knettels. XD
I never thought of Nyx with jumping abilities, but it definitely makes sense!
And he is cute, no matter what he says. the poor fellow. XD
Perhaps I should share something….…[Read more]

Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic Sensitive Topics: Abuse in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years ago
Content warning: references to sin and different kinds of abuse. Also, I’m kinda more frank about some situations in my books than normal. Lol!
Ahh…. Trauma. I honestly hadn’t really thought of what Alwin goes through as trauma. *Facepalm* Of course, it is. I think I like the term “toxic parent”, because his mother isn’t…[Read more]

Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic I've started my draft, would you guys keep reading this story? in the forum Novel Critique Requests 2 years ago
Welcome!
Not sure exactly what you mean… perhaps I am unlearned in my writing terms lol. I mean, I had to look up what wip meant at some point…
Sorry, I was referring to a flower I remembered to play a role. I didn’t want to be too specific just in case 1. It was a spoiler, and 2. Something had changed
I didn’t look up…[Read more]

Thanks for the encouragement. So will/are your characters.

Ok! (It’s just her name)
And like I said, this collage is really incomplete, especially since it doesn’t exactly capture all their culture, but I like it all the same.

Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic I'm giving you permission to rant about your WIP in the forum General Writing Discussions 2 years ago
I haven’t written anything…. *Wince*
But I have been reexamining characters. Which hurts because what I thought I’d figure out before now is still undecided.
I did write the opening for a little WIP I put down a long time ago. It’s a children’s novel about a group of squirrels on their journey to the fabelled country of…[Read more]

I made a collage for Alyona, but I don’t know if it’s done or not. I might still share it as is….
….hmmm…..
If I do, should it be the all English one, or the one with Hebrew? (Eishlagair is not Hebrew, but it’s not developed enough to use in a collage… Then of course there’s the keyboard problem. Eishlagair doesn’t use…[Read more]

Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic The-Bad-Guys-With-No-Name Kinda Need A Name (just a little bit) in the forum Characters 2 years ago
Ooooo, names! I love names. (Though they can be a pain at times.)
First, do you need a name for an organization/governing body of bad guys or specific people?
Second, what name pool/culture does your country have? For instance, are they kinda English-ish like with names like Winston, Audrey, Henry, Elizabeth, Collin, John,…[Read more]

I just read through these and they’re awesome! I love these characters and their friendship dynamic.
A little curious about what happens next…
Especially considering the foliage there….
And this really fascinating character development you have going on….
And how you have left us completely in the dark….
And the…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6 @felicity @koshka @starofthenorth
Oh! This discussion is great! XD I’ve only read the books too.
My favorite characters are, in order: Sam, Aragorn, Frodo, Pippin, Faramir, Merry, Legolas. (Insert long list of characters I can’t remember at the moment)
At least, I think that’s the order. It’s hard to decide. XD
Frodo is…[Read more]

Elishavet Elroi replied to the topic Wingfeather Saga in the forum Book Discussions 2 years, 1 month ago
Oh, I understand. His first book is definitely not on the same level as his others. It’s more childlike and a little too obvious. I’m so glad you kept reading, though!
However, while I understand many of the flaws of the book, I like it all the same. It’s not at all as good as his others, and it’s not my favorite (which is currently…[Read more]

Did you run it through some kind of painting filter?
