have you seen Tolkien? It’s honesty one of my favorite movies.
Gaaah, no!! I keep wanting to (we even have it at the house at the moment ’cause I wanted to watch it), but it’s apparently it’s not a little-kid friendly movie, so I have to find a time when my younger siblings won’t be watching and when it’s my turn to pick. It’s on t…[Read more]

See, I’m in the terrible boat of having no human siblings, but rather one really big furry sibling that sheds all over the house. She’s a huge white dog, and her specialties are barking and making messes! XD So we had her to contend with. Basically, it was just my mom, my aunt, and I frantically trying to make the house loo…

Contrary to popular opinion, I actually loved the Hobbit movies, and while I realize they are completely different than the book, if you can take them at face value they are awesome. In my mind
@joelle-stone yeah I agree. So many kids nowadays are f…[Read more]

Wow. That’s… sad. *decides to go and give ’em a piece of my writerly mind XDDD*
As far as enemies go, I think you’d be hard pressed to make them, because unless you really step on toes, kids are just bored with life, and have nothing to love for greater than themselves, because the vast majority aren’t saved.

Or maybe it should be ‘the object of’ to signify the noun. Perhaps that would make more sense

No that’s extremely helpful. I might do some of the words that way, but I’m kinda trying to do it….maybe….more artistically than Latin. I admire Latin, I enjoy hearing Gregorian chants in Latin, but when I think of Latin, I think of a dry, earthy language. As I mentioned before, this one is meant to be silver-y, or smooth, if you know what I m…[Read more]

no I haven’t watched the movies. I like to look at pictures from them occasionally, but I don’t think I’d like watching them. What’s your favorite character (book or movie)? Legolas and Aragorn are a tie for me, with Faramir coming in second.
YES! I’m reading FotR and book-clubing RotK! where are you at in…[Read more]

I like what you said there. That’s very true. A word can sound cool, but if it means something bad, then it loses its beauty. And vise-versa, the word can sound kinda mediocre or even weird, but if it has a good meaning, it has a natural beauty.
So when I make a language, I usually try to use a construction similar to Latin. Since…[Read more]

Aydin
Basil was still crying, and all of us were at a loss what to do to fix it.
I felt sorry for him but I still wished he’d stop.
Niarok got up, careful not to wake his sister. If he did we’d all have to listen to her and I’d have to pretend not to notice her hostility and I honestly didn’t have the patience or the energy for that.
The cold…[Read more]

I guess what I’m doing is finding meaning of words. The beauty of language is not the words themselves or what if they sound cool, it’s what they mean. The meaning gives beauty. I’m just trying to find the meaning behind some of these words. I may not have a system, but I’m starting with just a simpler approach for now.

Rose replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 years, 11 months ago
ooooooh dear…
Yeah, I’m not sure how Niarok would react to that.
He’s discerning. And loyal.
But…
He also barely knows Aydin.
*crawls into a hole and dies*
Would Aydin actually do it? He likes Niarok, but he still considers everyone there either a stranger or a potential enemy. He might… he has a history of changin…[Read more]

That’s kind of why I need help because I’m at a loss of what a system should look like. I guess I don’t intend to make this a language that is grammatically perfect, I just need it to be good enough for my purposes.
what system would I use? Enlighten me friends:)

Rose replied to the topic Character Castle 2.0 in the forum Fantasy Writers 4 years, 11 months ago
YESSS!!!! I originally created Niarok to be kind of a distant character. But then he just got a mind of his own and he’s sooo sweet and I love him and agghhhhh!!!!!
LOL, I remember that! It’s actually kinda hilarious XD Niarok really went: “These people seem in trouble. Guess I’m a dad now.” XD He just adopted everyone XD T…[Read more]
