@dragon-snapper Ooh! That one’s cool too! Keep up the good work! 🙂

How do you attach the pictures? @corissa-maiden-of-praise @jane-marie @salome01w4g

@mariposa @emily And all the other people. 😀

This one is for Lord Arihan, Ike’s father.

@dragon-snapper Wow! Your collage is super cool! I can’t wait to see more!

@emily Yeah, he’s the only actor so far that looks like Ike. XD

So up to now my book has remained a pretty big mystery. I haven’t really said anything as to names or plot or stuff. But here’s a collage for one of my MCs, Ike, in my WIP: SECTOR ONE: INSURRECTION.

@that_writer_Girl_99 Wow…I’m sure what everyone else has said is good meats. Listen to them. Though I am curious as to what you will do in the end. Let me know, por favor.

@gh24682468999 Woah…nice long tag. 😛

Well…I’m not quite sure how to help you here–dialogue has usually been natural for me. I learned mostly by observation in reading. Some books have some really good dialogue, and somehow, when I was ten, managed to soak that up.

So I guess what I’m saying here is that definitely observing what other…[Read more]

@That_Writer_Girl_99 They gave you good answers. O.O

@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.

@clairec Ugh, humidity is definitely the worst. 🙁 Winter doesn’t sound too bad though; maybe I’ll have to come visit sometime. 😉

Oh goodness, names… what makes them too much… let’s see.
I’d say that most everything has already been said- I especially agree with Josiah about making sure the names sound like they’re from a similar culture for everyone within the same culture of your story. But then, maybe you have someone with a name from a different culture, and maybe it…[Read more]

@graciegirl Thanks!
@emily No problem. 😉 Anytime! 😀

Thank you @daeus and @that_writer_girl_99 ! I was rethinking it because I just read two amazing fantasy books where they were in 1st person, and it was epic! The characterization was so much better because you were inside Crisa’s/Mina’s mind, thinking their thoughts. And I write in first-person most of the time anyway, so I might be better at it.
