(Oops, I intended to respond earlier, but…)

Ara and November are great together, from what I’ve read of the first draft scenes you posted. (November’s father makes my blood boil, but that’s beside the point)

I don’t exactly have any romance plots in my book yet, but I do know which characters get married (if that makes sense).…[Read more]

@wilder-w

Absolutely going to be praying. (Sorry I saw this so late)

Your book’s cover is beautiful, by the way!

@felicity

Do you get this thrill when you hear/see the language your learning? It makes me so excited. 😊

Oh yes! (My twin loves doing it to me, whether by pointing out something in Crylic, or nonchalantly handing me something that has it) I get so happy…I’m literally smiling just thinking about it. It’s like getting a secret message that only I…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

Ah…I don’t know? For creature name I guess I usually just start with a letter, say it out loud, and see what sound comes next.

For place and group names I tend to look up words in the language of that culture and, then if there is more than one word, mash them together till I like the sound. So basically what you do.

@starofthenorth

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]

@koshka

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!

@godlyfantasy12

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]

@godlyfantasy12

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]

@felicity

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]

@godlyfantasy12

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 🙂

@elishavet-pidyon

First, do you need a name…

@godlyfantasy12

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*

@felicity

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]

@esther-c

Oh! I love the moodboard! All the faith and light references are exquisite. They really ring true.

@koshka

Ah, gotta love the knettels. XD

@godlyfantasy12

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]

@godlyfantasy12

Um….Okay.

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

@esther-c

Thanks! I love them too.

@godlyfantasy12

I love him, or, uh, it!

O.O okay. I won’t ask…yet.

@godlyfantasy12

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]

And that was way long, but whatever. XD
