Koshka replied to the topic I need a creature name! in the forum Fantasy 3 years, 8 months ago
A cross between…okay, that’s an interesting mental picture. XD
What is their habit/home? Do they have tails (you mentioned squirrels)? Are they more like people or animals? How many syllables or words do you want?
A few random ideas (and if any of these are already used it was accidental): Quirgles, Akturns, Miklins, Thindles,…[Read more]

I am using Save the Cat, and yes. I am a plotter. Most of my ideas come at night too! Maybe that’s just how they work. *Shrug*
I’ll probably try that and at least see where it takes me. Hopefully it’ll get me writing again, instead of ignoring the utter chaos of my characters’ lives. Thanks for the advice!

Well, his problem right now is basically that I don’t know what happens in his climax. Or much of the rest of his story. I mean, I know scenes and some plot points, but the beats after the mid point are all sort of…foggy.
I’ve been working a bit on him, which is why I even have a midpoint, but even so I can’t seem to get the…[Read more]

I’m on! I also need to do dishes, but I’ll be checking in a bunch.
Vulkasin…he wouldn’t tell me his story. Maybe that’s my fault for not working with him much, but it just wouldn’t come out. I’m making a little progress right now, so hopefully he’ll get on paper easier soon.
But yeah. He’s been a problem.
And anyone reading…[Read more]

Ах! Сестра, you don’t know how happy you made me, seeing Cyrillic in a conversation. Or rather you probably do, you being a language learner yourself… *Happy sigh*
I think practically any writing takes some form of research.
I shall definitely have to check her out. Most of what I know of what’s going on I’ve heard from a mission…[Read more]

I must ask, is this a fantasy? Or more historical-ish fiction and what not?
It’s a mix of both. I don’t like research, but history has some great ideas I like to use. But of course, there’s a bit of fantasy too, like the dragomoth and other mythical creatures. Thanks for your help btw 🙂
First, do you need a name…

You’re fine. XD
I understand. There’s a few things I haven’t talked about much as I’m still figuring them out.
Like Vulka’s character arc. *Sigh*

My own research? Who, me? *Dramatically points to myself*
Hehehe…I’m supposed to be writing fantasy…they said I didn’t need a lot of real life knowledge… *Hides stack of books behind my back*
Seriously though, digging around in stuff is one of my all time favorite pastimes.
*Smiles*
*Trips over stack of plot cards I was…[Read more]

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]

Um….Okay.
Those are really weird. I mean, I’m used to Scottish folklore, but that was…interesting.

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]

Oooo, yes! Interesting character types!
The knettel is an animal similar to a fox, a cat, and snake all mixed together.
Appearance: usually a reddish brown although some can be a dark slate blue-black. Only about eight inches sitting up, the knettel is around two feet from nose to tail (the tail being the longest, fluffy eat fox…[Read more]

Hmm…I think I’d have them escape a few days after Russia invades, that way you can show a glimpse of what it’s like, but not take it too far or make it too long.
Reliable info on Russia in modern day is a little difficult to find, and unbiased info is practically impossible. If you need help with research I’d be glad to join in.

Go to your profile. There should be a place under your picture that says “What’s new Sarafini?”
Press on the text box underneath and type what you want to say. Then post it when your ready.
