So you’re saying that I’m supposed to hide the character’s sex by using “they” instead of “he or she?” Or am I being forced to write in first person?
you’re awful at lady’s POVs
If I’m writing in a lady’ pov, then how do I hide their sex? I am so confused right now.
Clarity required to proceed.

The first book only has one first person POV, (Liorah’s) but it has a few other chapters in third person limited for other characters.
Interesting. Are the third person limited views quite sparse? Like Skyward’s interludes?
That’s my first point. Backstory that isn’t a ghost exists too and it’s important to lend emotional value to the ghost.

I’m quite busy Cathy, but for you, I’ll do this once.
So let’s make sure I understand this right.
you’re awful and lady’s POVs so this prompt’ll be good for you
I’m awful and you’re a lady? That’s an interesting sentence–to say the least.

I don’t think describing an accent (or especially a voice, since I was more describing his voice) as rough is an inherently bad thing, but I will look at it
So, I agree with everything you said, but I wasn’t exactly saying that describing accents in those ways were necessary “bad” or “offensive” things to do, I was more s…[Read more]

The words were in the common language, and thankfully, I understood them, despite the strong, clipped accent.
That’s exactly what I was talking about, so great example. 🙂 That’s how I like to describe accents. I guess what I’m needing now is more words to describe accents rather than the normal: rough, thick, gravely, twangy,…[Read more]

Hey Joise! I’m Noah, glad to have ya!
What is the plot of your current fantasy WIP?
Another poetry lover! So, if I’m wanting to read some fantastic poetry, what book or author would you recommend?
Do you write much poetry? If so, what style do you use?

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give them an accent, since they probably do have one, but if they get a POV, they can mention how all the others have accents to them. And people from different regions of the same place can always have regional accents.
I usually just describe accents like “They had a (region) accent.…

Someone likes Demi Lovato. 🙂
I’m gonna be honest, this is not at all down my alley. I love listening to music while writing, but I don’t really pick out songs for characters.

I think something you need to remember is the Bible is rated R. It’s not a children’s story. It contains murder, sexual assault, a father who murders his daughter, and a lowly carpenter hanging naked on a tree. Yet the Bible does not use it wantonly. It uses for a purpose.

Of Greatest Showman? Probably “Tightrope,” “From Now On,” and “The Greatest Show.”
I’ll belt all of those happily, audience or no.Nice. Tightrope has really been growing on me.

Well, I’ll give y’all this, a guy doesn’t get asked that question every day.
Depends on how I was raised, but in this era, I would probably try to flee the country or something. Is that the morally good thing to do? I don’t know, but that’s probably what I would do.
