Since my whole book started with ONE name - and the character, the story, the events and other characters, basically Everything, grew from that one name, I totally think that if you DO have a name and that name feels right, then screw what's "normal".
If a character says "This is my name"...
Sins...
Well, a few.
1.) I turn everything into lightweight wannabe comedy.
2.) I don't explain enough - I might know what reasoning led up to a certain action, or I might know what someone looks like, or so on - but I fail at describing it, because it's already in MY mind, so for some...
Day 1-Dragon Prompt-Write a story in which a dragon is the hero or heroine, but isn't perceived to be.
Reminds me of a really nice idea I had for a shortstory - I wrote it, but under time pressure, so it''s not very good. I'll revisit it once I'm done with my current project (whenever that will...
Not really providing anything new here, but yes, this is the book to get.
For myself, mainly because it was so incredibly inspiring, but the Main thing for me was actually that it made me take a look at my writing and go "You know, this is my art - this is serious, it should be treated...
I'm from Sweden, which I love because of the weather and the nature.
I'm from Mo, in Söderhamn, which I love because it is...pure magic little forest village <3 (not a big fan of Söderhamn itself though)
I haven't lived in Sweden for 7 years now and I miss it a lot.
Currently, I live in...
Thanks for the input - I'll just have to make up my own fuel/pollution/fertilizer thing - for some reason, improvising science things is harder for me than the rest - but challenges are good, too :)
Thanks again, everyone!
Thanks, I suspect you are right - something makes me want to use as many "real" names that people can recognize as possible, but if it turns out Wrong, then that is bad, too :/ Maybe better to all in and make up my own thing.
My current (and first) project deals with humanoid mice in a sort-of-steampunk setting.
I made it easy on myself, I just went with "oldest" offspring being the one to plop out first, as that would mean they were the First - showing...spirit and eagerness, sort of thing.
That said, I also...
Hoi!
Predictability in story is, imo, ok - I have actually only read one story where I didn't know at least roughly how it would end (and I HATED that book - so that wasn't a good thing. If you're curious, it was the last of these: The Darkangel Trilogy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It...
Hi!
I am not sure if I am allowed to write this here, and I should possibly just do my research on Google - problem is I'm not extremely clever and quite often need stuff explained as simple as possible :p
I am currently writing a story which is...oh, it's nice - I love it - it started...
Hello people!
My name is Kat, I'm 31 and I try to write about mice in a sort of steampunk/fantasy setting. ->:mouse:
I'm in all honesty not sure what format the resulting text will be done in - the original plan was actually to write a few sentences per day for 30 days, for an app (which may...
