@dragon-snapper Those are awesome! Me likey. 😃😃😃

@Dragon-Snapper really cool!

@Dragon-Snapper I LOVE NAMES. I NAME EVERYTHING.

*coughs*
With that crucial bit of random information out of the way, I’d tend to agree with you. The best fantasy names are those that don’t look so absolutely foreign they’re impossible to relate to. The name should describe your character, not overshadow him. Personally I love old Norse, Saxon,…[Read more]

@Daeus eeeeeh… no pressure. 😛

@That_writer_Girl_99 good question though. I think… it seems to me that you’re asking not just about the Warden, but about the moral balance of justice and mercy. How do you show the necessity of justice (bad actions have painful consequences) while balancing it with understanding and forgiveness (we’re all…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 what they said. 😉

No worries. I’ve gotten several chapters into a story before realizing that I needed to change the perspective. If that’s what you think is best, than I say go for it!

eesh. I only recently learned what a character arc was, and I’m still trying to figure out how to write one. @epicaddie2 But what @dragon-snapper said is right. We’re people, constantly learning what’s right and wrong, just like our characters. If you strive to portray that accurately, then I’m not sure you can restrict an arc to any length.…[Read more]

Alright @aratrea thanks for replying! I’ll see what I can do…

In regards to the Warden’s specific character, I think I agree with you. I guess my problem is with the theme…the way I want the characters to act regarding the Warden heavily relies on what they believe about choosing mercy over revenge, or the reverse–revenge over mercy. I’m not sure how to convey that with regards to the Warden’s character,…[Read more]

I’m working on a thing for my Motion Picture writing class. So…schoolwork, but still fun. @dragon-snapper

Although, can I tell you a secret? My least favorite part of writing the script is adhering to the script format. It’s strange and feels constricting.

Okay, wait a minute, what? @shannon I heard something about a youtube channel. You have a youtube channel and you sing?

I’m definitely not the best person to help out on this, because I struggle with it too, but something that I’ve picked up while being on KP is the concept of “show not tell”, something that helps to infuse dialogue with physical actions, emotions, or facial expressions.

Think about your characters. When they’re angry, do they clench their fists?…[Read more]

Here’s the deal—-I don’t worry about this much. That being said, here’s what I do sometimes, just to make things interesting.

Take the name Kiara. It’s got a bunch of different variations…Kiera, Kyra, Kira… sometimes, playing with the spelling is super fun.

That’s what I do, at least.

*nods* *googles which state looks like a mitten* Oh! Michigan? Brrr… @livylynn

I love Cinderella Castle. So, so much! Magic Kingsom is my favorite park.

And oh~ I’m an INFP too! Although sometimes I’m an INTP…

I do! 😆 @livylynn

So where do you live?

@Mariposa Thanks! 😀 The eyes are my favorite part of that one too.

@Corissa-maiden-of-praise @jane-maree @salome01w4g I love them all!! 😍😍😍

@emily I just browse Pinterest for pictures then use this app Leonardo on my iPad to put them together. 🙂

@Daeus yikes… okay. I’ll see what I can do.
