@Kina-Lamb eeep yes. 😀 I really like the secret agent/undercover mission concept so it’s been really fun to play with. The thing I’m trying out to make it more unique (hopefully?) if having the secret agent character still in the middle of his training, so when he accidentally ends up in the middle of a situation (that a full agent would consider…[Read more]

I have absolutely no idea what I’m really doing. I don’t know why but I got really super stuck on this. So I may have done it completely wrong. *flops*

Dystopian/futuristic setting. Very (very) loose Robin Hood retelling. Positive Character Arc. I guess Will’s external goal is pretty much the same as his thematic development/goal, both of which…[Read more]

@Kina-Lamb one character travels around through a lot of different countries, so has picked up on a lot of languages. The other is training as a secret agent so had to learn a lot of them so he could fit in during his missions.
I know some French. But my sister knows more.

@Kina-Lamb yep. ^-^ I have several characters that can speak multiple languages so having at least a vague knowledge of the language really helps.

@Kina-lamb I started Spanish last year. Because I needed to learn a foreign language for school work and I was uttering sick of French + I always thought Spanish was cool + lots of people speak Spanish + I’ve always had a thing for Spain + I want to write a Spanish character who slips into Spanish whenever he’s annoyed or scared because it just…[Read more]

@kina-lamb GOODNESS I literally came across ‘Fluencia’ yesterday!!

@kina-lamb that’s a really cool idea!

Another method similar that I use sometimes is movie credits. There’s some random first and last names scrolling up the screen after every movie and I like to jot down some of my favourites if I have a chance.

@kina-lamb you’re very welcome. 😀

Nice! I’m pretty sure my sister uses a cannon. (and if you asked her she’d spurt out the numbers and letters and whatnot except I don’t actually know XD)

Oooh ooh I’m learning Spanish too!!! *bounces*

Orphan’s Song (Gillian Bronte Adams) is definitely the 1st method too. It’s the protagonist’s journey to discovering her calling/how to use the Gift she has, so everything relates fairly much to that, I think.

@Kina-Lamb HELLO!!! *waves enthusiastically*
My sister @willow-wispowing is a photographer and writer too! (although she isn’t very frequent on the forum) You’ve got some gorgeous shots on your website! *bounces* What sort of camera do you have?
Hand lettering? Ooh I’m soooo jealous. I really wish I could do that but…I simply don’t have the patience. 😛

@DelightInLife the method I use when naming characters is often to search up say ‘boys names meaning suchandsuch’ if I want a particular meaning. I sometimes do the ‘unique/rare girl names’ or ‘Irish/Gaelic/Welsh/Spanish/ect. names meaning blah-blah.’ Because then I can find one that fits with my setting.
If it’s medieval fiction, what country is…[Read more]

I don’t even know if this is cohesive or not, because it’s simply my notes to myself. So yeah, hopefully it’s all okay.
(Quick mention (because I wasn’t on the forum before to put these up) my theme is Freedom.)

Mothers yes. My mum is the most super amazing person I know. She’s a true superhero. <3 (although I’m pretty sure her life has had some plenty character arc :P)

Other people I look up to would definitely be my cousin, because she is so passionate about her calling and a really big encouragement to me.

@anyone who’s around I’m going to be plotting my novel for an hour (maybe? I don’t even know) if anyone wanted to join me.

@Emma-Flournoy eep that’s cool. I’ve been play flute for about four years (Maybe? I don’t actually remember now XD). But technically I learn the very basics of piano when I was about six, but I never really got into it until recently and I’ve been teaching myself.

@Daeus and according to my sister I have to go now (because we’re scripture teaching at a school today), but I got 546 words on outlining so that’s great! Thank you! 🙂

@Daeus I’m not writing, but I shall be plotting some for my next novel.
