Got to go! Goodnight!

@seekjustice And in the past few minutes I’ve completely changed my ideas of what those names sound like to me. So forget that whole list, I guess. 😛
Like I said, though, whatever you choose will end up being great, because the readers will like the character and probably end up liking the name.
But still choose Adelaide and “Ladle”!

@seekjustice I think it can depend on what type of girl she is. Florence makes me think “Florrie” and so I think of a delicate flower of a girl. Adeline is a bit harsher, because of the heavy “d” and “i”. Violet again is delicate. Harriet sounds like a bit of a stiff, motherly sort of person, and Charlotte hits me the same way. Flora is beau…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, but when you’re speaking it you can’t tell the difference between Frances and Francis. It’s sort of like Aaron and Erin. Though those two are pronounced with a very slight variation, most people can’t tell the difference.
Nicknames for Adelaide? Adele, Addy, Addie, Lady, Aida, Day, Dae, shall I go on? 😛 (I’ve thought of se…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, I really don’t like gender-neutral names, since there’s already too much of that going on in the world lately, so I don’t like Francis much at all. 🙁 sorry, sister of SeekJustice. 😀 Angelica is very nice, but almost too pretty, isn’t it? I like Adelaide a lot! (Not personally, but in comparison with Augustine, I mean. 😉 )…[Read more]

@seekjustice Yes, I knew a girl named Tabitha too, and she was nice. I just don’t happen to like the name. But it’s just my preference.
I do like those better, but…what station were Mr. and Mrs. Quillon? Augustine sounds pretty grandiose, while Tabitha, Abigail, and Bethany all sound like calico and sunbonnets. Augustine sounds more lik…[Read more]

@seekjustice Cool! One of my brothers plans to be a missionary pilot.
I’ll do that! Thanks. 😉
Well, I really don’t like the name Tabitha, but I guess you’re trying to get an old-fashioned, not-so-pretty name to match Augustine, right?
(Oh, or do you actually like the name Tabitha? I hope I didn’t just horrify you by calling it unpretty! Sorry…)

@seekjustice Do you know a lot of pilot jargon? 😛 I think you said something about knowing a pilot, but I don’t really remember.
Chara is, but Uncle Bill isn’t. I can’t tell when he’s going to be out of the hospital until I know what’s wrong with him, and at present I have no idea what’s wrong with him. 😛 Poor Uncle Bill! But anyway, he’…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, during WWI the pilots could see each other pretty well since the planes weren’t as sealed in as they are now, right? I’ve read of dogfights where the pilots saw the expressions on their opponents’ faces sometimes.
Well actually right now it’s going okay. I think. 😛 I’m at a kind of boring part so I’m hoping I can get th…[Read more]

@seekjustice Dogfights are cool, but I wouldn’t know how to write them either. 😀 Have you read the Tales of the RAF by Don Patterson?
Well, right now I have my stuff on a flash drive so I’m trying to work on my western from our desktop computer. 🙂

Sink replied to the topic MC Issues in the forum Characters 8 years, 4 months ago
@skredder Totally! Plus, I think it makes characters much more interesting when they don’t always do what’s right, or are even adverse to doing what’s right until the very end of the book. It makes me root for them more, and want them to change.
Btw, How do you put in the little line between your comment and your username? I can’t seem to figure…[Read more]

Sink replied to the topic MC Issues in the forum Characters 8 years, 4 months ago
Interesting idea, @skredder. I’ll try it out. Kirin is a great guy, but I really don’t want him to have “Hero Syndrome” (As in he does everything right just because it’s right.). And I also don’t want him to be an anti-hero, because it doesn’t fit. So he needs to have enough moral strength to do the right things sometimes, but he also needs to be…[Read more]

Hey @jenwriter17, sorry to bother you again, but would you mind giving me access to all the chapters you have up so far on your book? I requested access for chapter 6 and I’ve read chapter 1, but I can’t see the other ones(forgive me if it’s just something I’m overlooking in Docs, I don’t use them very often, xD). Anyway, happy writing! 🙂

Ah, I know I just did this, at least last time anyone was on this topic, but talking about my character’s most embarrassing moment was to good to pass up, @daughteroftheking, thanks for just an awesome question. Okay. Here we go.
