Keilah H. started the topic How do you name your characters? in the forum Characters 5 years, 2 months ago
Hey everyone! I’m a little stuck on names for my characters. Every one of my stories has at least one character with a unique name–even my many fanfictions have tons of OCs (original characters) alongside those belonging to the original story. I want to know how you choose your characters’ names. Here’s how I do it:
- I stick with natural names…

Keilah H. replied to the topic How did you come up with the idea for your current WIP? in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 2 months ago
@faith-q I get ideas from dreams sometimes. Once when I was three or so, I had a dream that a dolphin, an orca, a shark and a turtle were caught in a net suspended over a waterfall, and a whale saved them. The next day I drew a zillion pictures telling that story (I didn’t know how to write back then).
Other times characters from my stories s…[Read more]

I’ll read it! Only problem was that when I hit “read for free” it didn’t show me the book.

Kallus is the coolest, I can agree with you on that. (His redemption arc is one of my favorites.) And yes, the last few episodes were sad but were still pretty good!
What did you think of the latest few episodes of The Bad Batch? I kinda want to see what Crosshair will look like now, what with being all beat up and scorched (I like torturing…[Read more] -

Keilah H. replied to the topic Using a Pen Name: Yay or Nay? in the forum Publishing & Platform 5 years, 2 months ago
I’ve published three picture books, under my own name. I can see what everyone means with the privacy, but personally I like seeing my name on my books. In one of my fanfiction stories, however, I have a character that is technically myself. In the version of the story my brother and I think up, we use our normal names. But when I write the…[Read more]

Keilah H. replied to the topic Fantasy Kingdom Names in the forum Fantasy 5 years, 2 months ago
These names are all so cool! I usually just stick with whatever comes to mind when it comes to mind…hence why my character names are usually similar to each other or are based off someone else’s. But world names? I’m not too good at those. An idea I liked was from The Wingfeather Saga–the world is called Aerwiar, because the first human there,…[Read more]

Keilah H. replied to the topic New Book Ideas!! in the forum General Writing Discussions 5 years, 2 months ago
Those sound awesome! I love making up fantasy creatures to inhabit worlds in my stories, but I don’t have too much story to go with them.

Keilah H. replied to the topic Biblical Fantasy Novel Idea in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 5 years, 2 months ago
This sounds awesome! And @joy-caroline I absolutely LOVE The Wingfeather Saga! My mom bought it for me a month or so ago and I’ve already read all four (two of them twice)!

I liked the Clone Wars too, but my favorite Star Wars show (apart from The Bad Batch) was probably Rebels.

Yesssss!! I LOVE Rebels!!!! I really like Agent Kallus for some reason. I like all the bad characters… XD. Wasn’t the finally so sad? It made me cry almost

Whoops, meant to say finale

Ooh I hadn’t even thought of what Crosshair would look like now! I haven’t seen the newest episode yet. I probably need to XD. And, YES. I NEED Omega to hug Hunter. End of discussion.
I kinda like the girl bounty hunter (I can’t remember her name). I liked her before the end of the bounty hunter one, when she talked about helping Omega. She’s super cool!! -
You mean Fennec Shand? Yeah, she’s a cool character. I mostly remembered her name because there’s an animal called the fennec fox.

@nanisnook I know! Who’s your favorite character? I like Hunter, but I like Wrecker too–he’s pretty funny. Omega is kinda cute, she’s a good character too. Tech kind of reminds me of me, I’m tall and have glasses. Echo is just plain cool, and Crosshair…..HE’S TOTALLY EVIL. BUT STILL AWESOME.
Ugh, I am too obsessed with this. -

@Elfwing Awesome! I love it! (That’s more realistic than I can do.)

Keilah H. replied to the topic Fanart (or, as my phone tried to correct it to, "Canary") in the forum Art 5 years, 3 months ago
@nanisnook Yes to both of those! I LOVE the Warriors series, and yes, I love Firestar too, so every character I can get my hands on ends up being a warrior cat in my fanfictions. And FINALLY! Someone who’s at least heard of Star Wars: The Bad Batch or the characters in it! Hunter is really cool, isn’t he? I just had to draw him as a dragon because…[Read more]

@devastate-lasting Same here. Tron: Uprising is a good show, even though it only ran one 19-episode season which ended on a cliffhanger.

Digital drawing of a Star Wars character (not of my creation, although if you read the writing on the side, you’ll find out a bit about my fanfics involving him and his squad). I recently figured out how to shade on my tablet, so that’s exactly what I did with him. (And no, the reason one side of his face is dark is not my shading–it’s some…[Read more]

Yay! One of these!
I realize no one is going to know who this is, but this was a digital tracing of a picture my dad sent me. He’s from a Disney sci-fi show so obscure it only ran one season (but was actually super awesome!) Then I made him a cat from the Warriors series. He has cat ears and a tail, but they’re hard to see because he has dark…[Read more]

Nice pictures! I usually do stuff from fanfictions…..so they don’t really apply to here….I could post a few if you want though.

Keilah H. replied to the topic Teary Scenes in the forum Characters 5 years, 3 months ago
@elfwing Those are good suggestions! I’ll keep them in mind. And yes, I try to do good death scenes. They’re not that common, but I try to make it worth it when I write them.

Keilah H. replied to the topic Teary Scenes in the forum Characters 5 years, 3 months ago
Ooh! I used to NEVER put this in my stories. But more recently, I’ve started giving my characters emotions more. One scene involves a man and his 17-year-old son, who had been reunited with each other after over a decade apart in the last story. The pair have just cleared out their now-abandoned old house from the animals which had taken it over,…[Read more]
