@Shannon Ooooooooh boy. I’m probably not the most qualified to say anything on this subject, as I’ve had horrible struggles with my own characters, but… here goes anyway.

Like you, I’ve never had much luck with character questionnaires. And I think maybe the reason for that is because answering a bunch of black-and-white questions with equally…[Read more]

@Dekreel @That_Writer_Girl_99 @Dragon-snapper @Ethryndal @Daeus @Audrey-caylin @Jane-maree @Shannon @Sam-Kowal wow, thanks so much guys, all of you. Just getting the general feedback and feeling out opinion about the existing title helped me get so much more perspective.

@Jane-Maree, believe it or not, I had actually already considered Destroyer,…[Read more]

@dekreel  Oooooo….ahhhhhh.  😉

@shannon  I don’t know about you, but when I first think of a character, I think of a face/name…and something about them that is weird.  That really helps to get the creative juices flowing a little bit.

When you are actually writing characters, don’t.  Make.  Them.  Perfect.  Make them real.  Make them relatable.  Give them a problem and/or…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I’m dying to read your book now because THE THEME.

Anyway.

I like “Victorious,” but also all the dozens of ideas suggested above are cool. My only contribution is “Vanquished.” I guess it depends on what sort of image you want to bring to mind with the title. Maybe imagining it on a book cover will help?

@dekreel Well…yes. There is a reason. The reason was that at the time I was bored, couldn’t find a name for the castle. So I glanced around the room–this was during homeschool break–saw a Singer sowing maching, and thus it was the name of the castle was born. 😉

Ooh yay! I’m curious to see how you portray me.

@dekreel  That’s great news!  Congratulations!  *shakes your hand vigorously*

(And I must echo @dragon-snapper‘s question because I am just as curious…don’t feel obligated to put me into the story but…maybe?)

@dragon-snapper  You got mine.  That one was kinda easy.  😉

@dekreel Yay! I can’t wait! 😀 (Question: Am I in the story? No pressure, but I do have a tinge of writerly curiosity.)

(It’s written ‘Regnis’. It’s something spelled backwards. I’ll let you figure it out, if you wish.) 😉

@dekreel Okay, I was going to reply to you, but first I forgot and then I was busy, but enough excuses.

Mythbusters!!! Man I knew that sounded familiar.

@supermonkey42 Megamind, when Metroman and Megamind are arguing about the Heat of Revenge and the full, concentration power of the sun!

@Kate-Flournoy WAIT, HOW DID I NOT KNOW DUNSTAN GETS HIS OWN BOOK? That’s cool.

And honestly, Victorious doesn’t bother me too much. Granted, it’s not the kind of title that smacks you in the heart, but neither is it grating, like, say, Finding Freedom! or something horribly cliche like that. If you do end up keeping that title, I wouldn’t…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 Yes! What’s your quote? (You won, so you quote next)

@kate-flournoy

Oh dear. Titles.

Um….

Here are some brainstorms:

‘Accused’

‘Trial’

‘Justifiable’

‘Warlaw…’ (insert Loki facepalm here)

What kind of title are you going for?

@ingridrd Avengers! First person is Captain America, and the second is Iron Man. 😀

Here’s a quote: “Pain, love it.”

I’ve got one.

“We need a plan of attack!”

“I have a plan: attack!”

@dekreel  Thanks!
