writerly ways
Oct. 17th, 2010 05:30 pmI give up. I'm now the monkey-minding story's bitch. Meet the bare basics for the characters i.e. their names.
Evil Momma –Marija
Evil daughter – Mliss
Not-so-evil son – Mirron
Queen – Amalur
Princess – Kannitha (Kanni?)
Her best mages:
Momma – Sunniva
Pappa – (Richard Castle inspired) Hara
Daughter (lead character) – Lilika
Deaf son – Jurrien
Twin Mages (think younger versions of frazier and nyles)
Soren (Lilika’s partner)
Sahen (they might need T names)
Dania (or Rikka, Lilika’s best friend)
well there needs to be a few more adults. I do know Sunni has a couple friends (it's one of them who nearly dies mid story) it was supposed to be a male/female partnership for those friends with the guy nearly dying but they inform me they're two women. sure whatever, go pick a name already.
Basic idea, magic runs stronger in women than men though we see both, you're either good at defensive or offensive magic but not both so one of each is paired up. This morning on the way to get groceries, evil mommy tells me she's the queen's half sister (via their father) and thinks she ought to be queen (even though daddy is only king by marriage). One of the evil spells is going to spread virus like, ripping away inhibitions which doesn't sound that evil until people really think about it. There probably needs to be more evil but I'm not sure WHAT that is yet.
Still have no name for the academy/conversatory. I'll need a few more friends for the younger crew too. Ah yippee, the novel with a million characters...
yearly word count (i.e. i'm way behind last year and will never make this promise to myself)
