Left handed main characters!
I'm left handed so I usually have like one or two main characters in my stories who are left handed (Crispin, Gerard, Andor, Milo, Garzlan and Jaire are all left handed… I feel like I'm missing someone though). But using my left hand for things is just so normal for me that I often picture them doing things with their left hand anyways.
But yeah also as a lefty it always makes me like weirdly happy when I find out that fictional characters are left handed and I feel like there's not that many (especially in literature for some reason).
But functional relationships though. That is one thing I respected about Divergent. Some of the relationship was bad and it was acknowledged and they both realized they had to work on things.
The one thing Divergent did well lmao
Actually, on a previous sentiment, I always just see characters as left handed, me being left handed myself.
I want more languages.
Everyone just speaks 'the common tongue' or its mentioned that a character is from another place but never speaks that language.
Not to mention that language barriers are fucking hilarious to work with.
My dude, my buddy, my pal,
I can barely handle writing in 1 language and learning 2, coming up with one would make my head explode
Just make up a language like English that essentially has no rules and you can write gibberish XD
My guy.
You just gotta mash letters together and call it good.
ORRRRRRRRRRR
You use google translate and translate whatever the character says into an obscure language and shift the letters around a bit and BAM you got a language.
Thank you… I have my moments. XD
Good tips!
I use google translate for naming places mostly
You know what? I want more pets in books, and owner/pet interactions my cat is sitting on my bed just being precious right now

My characters just got a dog in my story! (Dream wolf technically)

I used google translate to get the name for the somnia (my characters’ species/race)(somnia is Latin for dreams)
I meanwhile, am creating an entirely new language that I might be able to speak fluently someday. It is also Common. Which is kind of dumb. But I really want to I guess.

You could pretty easily get continuity errors with that.
If it's random you could be making up different words for the same thing each new time you use the word.
Ahhhhh. I see. I usually take notes when I do that though, so I keep track.
Just….
Give me the suave princes and the feral scientists and I'll die happy.
I love them.
When there's several points of view and one of the characters kills one of the other characters SO or something and you see both of their points of view and end up sympathizing with both because it's done so well
I have never seen this and now want to.
1st person or 3rd person?
