Jane Maree replied to the topic I need a character name! Help! in the forum Novel Idea Critiques 9 years, 1 month ago
@kina-lamb that’s a really cool idea!
Another method similar that I use sometimes is movie credits. There’s some random first and last names scrolling up the screen after every movie and I like to jot down some of my favourites if I have a chance.

@kina-lamb you’re very welcome. 😀
Nice! I’m pretty sure my sister uses a cannon. (and if you asked her she’d spurt out the numbers and letters and whatnot except I don’t actually know XD)
Oooh ooh I’m learning Spanish too!!! *bounces*

@Kina-Lamb Hey, I was looking around on your blog, and can I just say that you’re very mature? Well I said it, so hopefully it’s not too odd. I loved looking through your posts—I love it so much when someone young is so mature and thinks about such important things. (And I’m specifically hoping this doesn’t sound like I’m treating you as a…[Read more]

@Arella-Noreen Good to meet ya! We didn’t used to have many INFJs on here, but it seems like several have come on in the last week or so. 🙂 What’s your favorite book?
Also, we don’t live in TX anymore…some of us were born there, but we’ve lived in OH for about 12 years now I think. Where we lived longest in TX I think was near Lufkin. Where are you? -

@Rolena-Hatfield Oh that’s RIGHT, you live in Iowa don’t you! It’s near Lansing, IA…I don’t really know where that is except that it’s up near the Minnesota border somewhere…
*heartbroken whisper* So that means you aren’t already going?@Kina-Lamb Yes! Of course it means that, and I can’t wait to see y’all there. 🙂

HEY @Kina-Lamb! I didn’t know you were a writer too! Awesome.
What’s your favorite book?
And what instrument do you play?
I’m looking forward to getting to know you better here.
Also to looking ’round on your website, but the computer’s being slow right now. 😉 -

Orphan’s Song (Gillian Bronte Adams) is definitely the 1st method too. It’s the protagonist’s journey to discovering her calling/how to use the Gift she has, so everything relates fairly much to that, I think.

@Kina-Lamb HELLO!!! *waves enthusiastically*
My sister @willow-wispowing is a photographer and writer too! (although she isn’t very frequent on the forum) You’ve got some gorgeous shots on your website! *bounces* What sort of camera do you have?
Hand lettering? Ooh I’m soooo jealous. I really wish I could do that but…I simply don’t have the patience. 😛 -
Jane Maree replied to the topic How naming affects characterization in the forum Characters 9 years, 1 month ago
@DelightInLife the method I use when naming characters is often to search up say ‘boys names meaning suchandsuch’ if I want a particular meaning. I sometimes do the ‘unique/rare girl names’ or ‘Irish/Gaelic/Welsh/Spanish/ect. names meaning blah-blah.’ Because then I can find one that fits with my setting.

Mothers yes. My mum is the most super amazing person I know. She’s a true superhero. <3 (although I’m pretty sure her life has had some plenty character arc :P)
Other people I look up to would definitely be my cousin, because she is so passionate about her calling and a really big encouragement to me.

@Dragon-Snapper Oh. Well that’d hardly go over well would it. 😛 Unless you wanted to make him be forced to do it because no one else could, and he’d end up changing. 😉

@Dragon-Snapper Erm…you could have King Daeus be the dragons’ personal trainer—a king training his fighter dragons himself would be neat. That’s currently the most exciting idea I thought of. 😛

Thank you so much for the kind words, Emma! (That’s funny. Did you read my, “but be an example,” post? Not at all. I’m not offended if people say I’m young anymore. ) Out of curiosity, (I’m a very curious person!!) how old do you think I am? I haven’t told anyone yet, and I extremely enjoy hearing people guess how old I am. : )
Yep, I read at least part of that post…I always want to be sure I’m not hurting someone’s feelings, but I wanted to be extra careful after seeing that. 😉 I was pretty sure you’d not have a problem with that anymore though.
Hey, I’m a very curious person too, so you’re in good company. 🙂 I’m pretty sure I already know how old you are—12 or…[Read more]
@Kina-Lamb Are you 12 or 13?
13. And let me guess… you’re probably 15 or 16?
Yup, 16. How’d you guess that?
Well, I looked up your first introduction post, and you said then that you were fifteen, and it was dated nine months ago. From that I concluded that you were either almost 16 or 16. 😀
Aha, a very logical course of action. 🙂
Hi @emma-flournoy ! Do you have any ideas on how to describe an angry knocking on a door? I was thinking like a “Bang. Bang,” but then I thought it might be mistaken for gun shots. I thought about “Thud. Thud,” but it sounds kind of soft, do you think? It’s Turkish soldiers banging on the door of my great-grandpa’s house that I want to describe. Thanks!
Hey Kina!
You’re right, the ‘thud’ sounds kind of soft. ‘Bang’ is a little bettter, and I don’t think it’s too similar to guns, but it is very common. So…crack…pound…hammer…? Those wouldn’t all work the way you had it—the word repeated twice slowly. I mean, it would sound a little weird. ‘Hammer. Hammer.’
Hm. 😛 If you wanted to…[Read more]
@Kina-Lamb Did you find something to work?
@emma-flournoy oh sorry! I meant to reply to this. For now I’m just doing “Knock. Knock. Knock.” As I read over great grandpa’s story, I realized that the Turk soldiers weren’t really angry, they were just a little rough, so “Knock Knock Knock” sounds better to me now than it did before. I am going to add some background information before that. I…[Read more]
