@Kina-Lamb welcome to the bestistest place on the internet! *shakes your hand enthusiastically* So glad to have you here. And it’s late and my brain is fried or I would say something more creative…
But welcome again. I hope you stick around and learn a lot of cool, useful stuff. 🙂
This forum can always use another Lamb.
I’ll be seeing you around. 😀

Howdy, @kina-lamb! Now where have I seen you before…

Hello @arella-noreen, good to have you with us! Sorry if I’m a little late. The description of your book sounds great by the way. What kinds of fantasy have you written?

Hello @ arella-noreen, good to have you with us! Sorry if I’m a little late. The description of your book sounds great by the way. What kinds of fantasy have you written?

@dragon-snapper I agree, I have seen lots of different styles and they’re all amazing! I love @aysia-serene‘s drawing! And i-j-anderson is so talented at realism. And @kate-flournoy has a very unique realistic-but-not-quite style 😀

@Arella-Noreen But really, aren’t all writers sort of crazy? 😀

I am planning on being at Family Camp, actually! (Not that that’s any new information, seeing as I’m Daeus’s sister.) : )

You guys make my pitiful attempts at naming look so lame… XD

@DelightInLife Basically, when I need a name for my fantasy story, I just sort of…come up with one. I start putting random word syllables together, until something like Liriel emerges. (Liriel, by the way, is the main character in my WIP) I take a letter I think sounds nice, like L…[Read more]

@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.
If it’s medieval fiction, what country is…[Read more]

@arella-noreen Haha! I’ll take that in creepiest, stalkerish way I can then. 😉 It certainly is true about writers tho… Just as long as you never admit to someone that you modeled that character after them!

@Arella-Noreen I like it! *thumbs up* Lots of great story material there. What’s your favorite poem? Mine is probably Tolkien’s Mythopoeia. All of Tolkien’s work, really, but that one especially. 😉

Wow guys, there are no words for the awesomeness of this topic. Fellow word-root lovers— group hug! 😀

@DelightInLife I don’t have time right now to do as long a post as I could, but starting out, I basically figured out what kind of feel/culture I wanted the name to belong to/have, then went and searched on Google ‘old…[Read more]

Welcome to the forum @arella-noreen! Great to have you with us. I like the premise of your novel–superhero novels are really fun. Have you read Into the Fire or Steelheart? Both are pretty fun superhero stories, especially the former.

All right, got some pages done. It’s dinnertime here so gotta go now @overcomer. Great writing with you!

I agree @overcomer. It’s the novel as never started takes longest to finish.

I’m late, but welcome to KP @Arella-Noreen! Sounds like you and I have a lot in common (my INFP personality type aside 😉 ). I was born in Texas, adore poetry, write fantasy and sci-fi, homeschooled and proud of it, etc. etc. and all the rest. *grins*
Can you tell us a little bit about your book? It sounds neat, from what @Rolena-Hatfield said.

Same here. *thumbs up to all the peoples*
