@dekreel *is jealous because Dekreel’s book has 75,000 names in it and mine only has 40,000*

Definitely, fire away!

@seekjustice  Yes! I do have a baby book! It has 75,000+ names in it. I love it so much. I have been binge-reading the whole thing and writing down my favorites. So far I’m still in the girls, down to the Gs. Want me to give you a sample of some of my favorites?

@dekreel

Welcome to the great naming discussion!! I love names too, names are awesome. The question is: do you own a baby name book?

@rochellaine  Oh yeah! You do have 940 posts! WOW, that means you’ll be an Eccentric Mentor soon. I wonder if it’s a record…

@rochellaine

I do! And I honestly can say it’s the most useful piece of writing equipment I own, it’s an awesome book. I got it from a library booksale several years ago.

Yeah, that’s probably where my love of the name came from too. The novella I’m editing at the moment for my blog serial story actually has the main character called Wolfe, but…[Read more]

@seekjustice  @rochellaine  I guess I’ll join you guys. Partially because I haven’t come back to the KPA in days, and also because YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT NAMES! I LOVE NAMES!

@rochellaine

I like R names too! *whips out the baby names book which is kept at the end of the bed in case of emergency character namings* Brace yourself.

I super love the names Roy and Rowan, I don’t know why, they’re just awesome. Also, Ren, Raidon, Ransome, Ramin, Raven, Raymond, Rivers, Rolf, Ryu….etc, etc.

In other names that don’t…[Read more]

I’m honoured that my exceeding wit has brought you much pleasure. All right, then I shall. 😀 I’ve been collecting some prompts to put on the page.

@rochellaine I guess K does have a nice ring to it, I like the name too. it wasn’t even meant to be shortened to Kai, it just happened. I think actually, his name being Malakai at all and being shortened to Kai can be attributed to Catwing…maybe? I was going to call him Malachi, but I thought it sounded really old fashioned, and Catwing liked…[Read more]

@alia See, that I do not understand at all. But anyway, we can put aside our differences and be twins. 😀

Yes, I usually am. I might see you tomorrow?

Well, the best way to make a rebellion not cliché is to kill absolutely everyone and for it to fail miserably, because that never happens in YA literature.

@alia

I think that, apart from our disagreements over Legolas and Frodo, we could be the same person, because my music intake consists solely of musicals and Casting Crowns.

Ahah, no, it’s not me. @rochellaine and I live (literally) half a world away, across many seas and distant shores. That sounded very poetic.

@rochellaine

I’ve never properly fainted before, but my brother did once and I tried to catch him and ended up lying on top of him. That was where the inspiration for Quillon being super romantic and catching Sapphire and ending up on the floor came from.

I definitely will give Quillon and Kai some father/son time (what is it about the name…[Read more]

I’m game. Need to know anything specific?

@rochellaine 😀 Wow. That is cool that you have books published! XD Are they on Amazon? what method did you use to get them published?

I’m working on my cereal-war book, but I’m actually going to sign out now. XD Stan’s working on his own project, and he’s calling it ‘The next big thing in epic fantasy.” So I guess I’ll just have to see. Yes, he…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I’m planning on having a young girl with chronic pain in the sequel to Stars Fill Infinity. I think my inspiration for her came from a time when I was suffering a lot of pain all the time (I wouldn’t call it chronic, and thanks to some physiotherapy and lifestyle changes it’s gotten a lot better, but it was bad at the time), so I h…[Read more]

@rochellaine

That’s fine, sometimes I totally mess up tags too and don’t even realise.

I’m editing now and also looking at how to represent disabled people in fiction.

@rochellaine Hmm… I don’t think I have. But then, maybe I’ve forgotten

What are you working on tonight? 😉

@rochellaine

Yep!

@rochellaine I am 😀

@dekreel Thanks 😀

Bye
