Trahia the Minstrel

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thanks for the pronunciation lesson 😀

Sadly, I have to say I don’t know much IPA… which makes it kinda hard to read English-to-Korean dictionaries. Yea… I should really learn.

Are you planning on publishing your book in the future?

@Kosha

Korean was literally designed so it could be written and spoken easily and…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

I’ve never considered combining languages to make names, that’s cool! Tho, with my simple brain, if my OC’s had names like that, they’d be forgotten in a heartbeat 😛

@elishavet-pidyon

Poor Rubin ;-; will be missed.

@koshka

In Korean, literally everything (almost,) is spelled solely based on the way it sounds. So, thankfully, I don’t encounter too many spelling errors of my own.
Random question, does Russian have any loan-words?

BQ? I am unfamiliar with this.

Whoops, I meant college Korean text book. A big…[Read more]

@lorelei-writer

Alright tell me what you think! (No you can’t.)

Is there anything you’re working on writing right now?

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thats really cool that your Grandfather had a similar name!

She sounds like a great character.

Yeah, it’s funny how characters can completely change from how you originally introduced them and intended them as.

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thank you. 🙂

@koshka

Oof, Korean is hard sometimes. I think I only struggle mostly with pronouncing the vowel sounds accurately… and sentence structure… and formal tones… and… you get the picture. It’s great to learn tho!
Learning is made a lot easier, since I’ve been blessed with a tutor who’s half Korean, and can speak and read it. I was nannying…[Read more]

Here it is @lorelei-writer

Like I said it’s not finished it’s missing most of its punctuation and I still have a couple of lines to add at the end which I have an idea of what they’ll be but haven’t thought them up yet xD. Tell me what you truly think. I don’t have any fellow poetry writers to tell me their opinion on my writings.

So this poem…[Read more]

@lorelei-writer

I write poetry about the same things! I’d say about half of them are themed around some emotion or idea and how to push through struggles and how God is always there to help and the other half are ones of how I see God’s amazing splendor and handiwork through His creation.

I love Fall too. It’s my absolute favourite season! The b…[Read more]

@lorelei-writer Ooooh that sounds great! I love the way you’ve set the two characters up to meet and help each other. Now I wanna read the whole story…thanks for sharing the description! 😁

@trahia-the-minstrel

That’s cool. Did you make up that name or find it elsewhere? What’s your book about?

Okay it was New Zealand lol

You sure can. 😁

@elishavet-pidyon

Fantasy sounds right. If it’s more along a realistic trail like Rangers apprentice, I suppose it might be midieval fantasy.(prolly my fave genre)

How you’ve described is pretty much how I construct my book too! Usually when I’m thinking of scenes, I kind of let them roll around in my head for a bit then slap them on some paper.…[Read more]

@trahia-the-minstrel

Thanks. I read the LOTR and once Elanor the star flower appeared I decided to add it to my favourite names list. Your name is cool itself.

What is the bird in your profile picture? I recognize it from somewhere. Somehow I’m thinking it might live in Australia or New Zealand?

@trahia-the-minstrel

No worries! Thank you for your input, I always appreciate hearing other people’s advice about this issue, since it is something I struggle with more often than I like. With relatively small short stories, I’m fine with restarting them, since a thousand or so words is not as big of a commitment to me as a novel is. But I…[Read more]

@kathleenramm

True, villains and antagonists don’t always need to be in a story. I’m usually writing some kind of story where they’re like, far away, so they don’t always show up in the main story (you know, like a Sauron kinda thing), so I always feel like I have to find ways to have them interact with the protagonist. But…I don’t always need…[Read more]

@lydia-s so sorry for the late reply! And thank you so much for your advice, I’ll definitely keep it in mind next time I’m faced with something like this. I ended up trying to rewrite it a couple times and on about the third try, I got something I really liked! So I’ve finished that short story now 😁

@trahia-the-minstrel Oh good, thanks! And I’m 21 😁

@keilah-h
Thanks. 🙂

@elanor You wanted to be on here too, so here you go!
