Great question! I’m actually a conlanger (conlang means constructed language). So Often before I come up with a character name, I make the language that character speaks first. I also think about the kinship system, and how that might influence how a child is named, along with surnames.
Yeah, Christian family adventures are…[Read more]

Len’s parents could have been involved in some kind of dangerous or just forbidden movement, but I’m not sure exactly how that would fit into your plot. Or maybe they were killed by members of that movement/society. If they were members of the society, then Len’s redemption arc could have something to do with figuring that out,…

Ok guys. My villain needs some help. Or rather, I, as his author, need some help. I need to decide on his evil title and part of his motivation.
First, some background on him: (Warning: There are a few spoilers. Read at your own risk.) (Another Warning: I do mention murder a few times.)
Derek Len desired peace. It was all he wanted. All he…[Read more]

Esther replied to the topic What makes a character meaningful? in the forum Characters 3 years, 6 months ago
Meaningful characters are hard to write, especially if they aren’t the MC. Depending on their personality, they will be meaningful in different ways. So here are some tips that I hope will be helpful 😁:
1. Give clues to the reader that Layson is important. With side characters, some are important and some aren’t. You gave…[Read more]

Aren’t big families super fun? You’re “violin-squeaking,” huh? I fiddle around with that instrument too, hoping to learn mandolin or dobrolin sometime.
Yes, they are. 😊
Yep! Lol. I play violin, it just doesn’t always come out sounding pretty. 😜
Cool!!

Is it? Am I?
Because that’s a form of inversion, and because letters are really just symbols holding arbitrary information, could it perhaps make every letter?

Cool! Do you have an idea for a system to keep things chaotic, yet comprehensible?

Cool! Do you have an ipa chart for it? Is there a standardized grammatical structure, or is it made to function chaotically, but still efficiently to maintain security?

TheArcaneAxiom replied to the topic What's a question??? in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 6 months ago
Why can you be up for something, and down for something and both mean your want to do that something? Is a generalization you could make that you can be some external vector for something? But when you say ‘I’m out’, isn’t that saying that you don’t want to do that something, even though it would be an external vector? And why…[Read more]

(True, and we can make accurate predictions on something like the future, but the further you go, the more unsure it is those predictions can be. Yes, in fact there is a mathematical boundary for what we can understand axiomatically. Thus it is only through having a perfect knowledge of all things can one actually pass that boundary,…[Read more]

(Possibly) (Now, if we are speaking of the unknown as the future, things that are yet to happen, then there is no way that we can make a model that accurately represents it. All we know is the known future. There is an extent and a limit to what we can know. This shows how finite we are, and how omniscient and infinite our God is.…[Read more]

I like that! There’s one thing I would change though.
I staggered over to an almond tree that was bent into the shape of a seat that was covered in moss and fallen flower petals. Then sunk down on it breathing hard.

Would by definition, the unknowable, ineffable, and incomprehensible mean that we could not accomplish such a feat, or could we at least make models and representations of such things through the words we use for them, such as ineffable, though by definition, the ineffable cannot be described by words?

Yeah. He’s pretty easy to identify. (And hard to miss irl. 🤣 [at least in his world])
My guess for the songs you posted is: Freedom’s Fire.
Is it a book where Jocelyn goes through a lot??
