I’ve never considered combining languages to make names, that’s cool! Tho, with my simple brain, if my OC’s had names like that, they’d be forgotten in a heartbeat 😛

@elishavet-pidyon

Poor Rubin ;-; will be missed.

@koshka

In Korean, literally everything (almost,) is spelled solely based on the way it sounds. So, thankfully, I don’t encounter too many spelling errors of my own.
Random question, does Russian have any loan-words?

BQ? I am unfamiliar with this.

Whoops, I meant college Korean text book. A big…[Read more]

@koshka

Oof, Korean is hard sometimes. I think I only struggle mostly with pronouncing the vowel sounds accurately… and sentence structure… and formal tones… and… you get the picture. It’s great to learn tho!
Learning is made a lot easier, since I’ve been blessed with a tutor who’s half Korean, and can speak and read it. I was nannying…[Read more]

@lorelei-writer Ooooh that sounds great! I love the way you’ve set the two characters up to meet and help each other. Now I wanna read the whole story…thanks for sharing the description! 😁

@elishavet-pidyon

Fantasy sounds right. If it’s more along a realistic trail like Rangers apprentice, I suppose it might be midieval fantasy.(prolly my fave genre)

How you’ve described is pretty much how I construct my book too! Usually when I’m thinking of scenes, I kind of let them roll around in my head for a bit then slap them on some paper.…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

No worries! Thank you for your input, I always appreciate hearing other people’s advice about this issue, since it is something I struggle with more often than I like. With relatively small short stories, I’m fine with restarting them, since a thousand or so words is not as big of a commitment to me as a novel is. But I…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

True, villains and antagonists don’t always need to be in a story. I’m usually writing some kind of story where they’re like, far away, so they don’t always show up in the main story (you know, like a Sauron kinda thing), so I always feel like I have to find ways to have them interact with the protagonist. But…I don’t always need…[Read more]

@lydia-s so sorry for the late reply! And thank you so much for your advice, I’ll definitely keep it in mind next time I’m faced with something like this. I ended up trying to rewrite it a couple times and on about the third try, I got something I really liked! So I’ve finished that short story now 😁

@kathleenramm Oh, almost everything. That you had to follow prose conventions taught in school or plot outlines that followed a specific formula, that your character had to go through a very specific and obvious development, that you had to write something that followed all of these things with a reasonable and expected ending…

None of those…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel Oh good, thanks! And I’m 21 😁

@elanor You wanted to be on here too, so here you go!

Wow! I’ll see if I can find some good quotes to post here.

@elanor Thanks! I’m moving the discussion to another topic so I don’t take up too much space. You’re welcome to join if you want me to tag you.

@elanor Hey there! Sorry I’m taking up all the space with my dragon drawings and stuff. You can ask whatever you want!

Yes! How to Train Your Dragon and Wings of Fire are great!! And yes to Omega and Hunter’s “serious big brother-hilarious little sis” relationship. Just yes. Honestly, it’s cute (although Hunter would definitely hate being called “cute”).

I really wanted Crosshair to re-join the Bad Batch too. If I ever met him in our world, I’m not sure if I’d…[Read more]

And of course! The Stewjon Four-Winged Dragon (That proves how much of a Star Wars freak I am, I even know the name of Obi-Wan’s home planet) is just the coolest dragon ever. (Sorry CloneWings, he definitely tops you guys)

@trahia-the-minstrel YESSSS TECH IS AWESOME! Although my favorite is probably Hunter. Honestly, I like them all. Even Crosshair. I mean, he’s totally evil. But still awesome. I have dragon versions of all of them too.

This guy’s one of my favorite dragons. Why? Because I created his species specifically for him, rather than “adapting” a dragon species from a book or movie. He has four wings, catlike ears (which can do everything real cat ears do), gills on his neck and webbed talons (just because; I couldn’t draw the gills because his neck is obscured). He’s…[Read more]
