1) Name: Ciranna
Ambra

Hi Grace (@gbfruitbat)
Just curious, how is it that only girls answered this question.
Perhaps, because us guys thought it was about “Beta” males. 😆
“Mama’s boy” has a derogative connotation. Kind of like saying a guy is a “sissy”.
We can love our mom’s but not be diminished by that. The idea is men have an idea of what honor is and what r…[Read more]

I want him to have that kind of personality, and be one of those quieter, polite, super nice guys but I also don’t want him to be unrealistically perfect or too effeminate if you know what I mean??
That’s a familiar problem XD For some reason, it’s always the love interest too for me… XD
I think something that might help is i…[Read more]

Joshua Scheele replied to the topic The Creation of Names and Use of Surnames in the forum Characters 4 years, 2 months ago
Thanks, I will have some fun with that idea. The first era of my story is probably most relatable to Lotr, so I probably won’t use real names, unless it is something like Sam short for Samwise.
I do like lotr method for surnames. I will have plenty of nicknames that can act like a surname too. I think our surnames actually came from…[Read more]

Hey y’all!
I really love diving into the history and meanings of names, so that I know sometimes what I’m giving my characters. (Sometimes I just completely make up names too.)
I thought it would be cool to discuss names and meanings of our characters, maybe create a list of names we’d like to use in the future?
Who’s with me?

I am reposting this gal.
@erynne @gbfruitbat @ajstorytellerAgain, her face is the bottom one but I like the outfit and the outdoorsy feeling you get from the top.
Hint: She connects to my Wiley’s, specifically Aspen and Cassidy, Cassidy is on page 21 and Aspen is on page 22, also she looks younger than she really is.

Erynne replied to the topic Grief Trope in the forum Characters 4 years, 3 months ago
Actually it is. Especially if you’re alone or mostly alone. I’m not sure where you’re story starts, but you could put in flashbacks of memories that show how close the husband and wife were which makes the depression even better
(I sound like this awful person don’t I? 😂)
