Names you thought of for your MC but ended up not using and why?

Down below are the names that I had thought of for my MC


Arwen 

I used this name when I was in the plotting stages of my WIP, however when I first started outlining the name didn’t sound right for her anymore, so I ended up scrapping it and began the search for something else. 


Marble 

I didn’t want to use this one because it didn’t sound right for my main character, but I do plan on using it soon for another character’s name that will be appearing in a later book 


Shimmer 

This is another name that didn’t feel right as the main character’s name, but like Marble it will be used in a later book for another character 


Gimmick 

I ended up using this name in book 2 for a brand-new character that my MC meets along with an old familiar face from her past that is linked to this new character who happens to be a witch. 


Zetta 

I can’t pronounce my ‘Z’s’ very well and they come out sounding like ‘S’s’ so that’s why I ended up scrapping this name because I wanted to tell people my main character’s name besides constantly telling them her assassin’s name and I knew if I said the name people would mishear it and think it was her name instead of the actual name.

Spicy scenes and having family read it

I have a confession to make: I’m very shy when it comes to anything ‘spice’ related. You know, the kind of scenes that make your heart race and your cheeks flush. The kind of scenes that my older brother loves to read in his spicy books. I can’t even say the word ‘sex’ out loud in front of my brothers, let alone write it. Instead, I use a code word: ‘uh uh scenes’. But that doesn’t stop them from teasing me, especially my younger brother and older brother. They think it’s funny how I get embarrassed by something so natural and normal. Maybe it’s because I’m autistic that I have trouble with this. I’ve always been sensitive to sensory stimuli and emotions. Sometimes, they overwhelm me and I don’t know how to express them. Writing has been a way for me to cope and communicate, but writing spicy scenes is a whole different challenge. I found out the only way I could write those scenes and share them with my older brother was when I get high. Yes, you read that right. I get high and write ...

A song for the daughters on reaping day in my main character's village

The Reaping Song Verse 1: When the moon is full and bright And the shadows dance in the night We hear the whispers in our ears The Reaping is drawing near Chorus: They come to take the chosen ones To train them as the council's sons They make them kill without remorse They make them serve the darkened force Verse 2: We never know who they will pick We only hope they do it quick We hug our daughters and we pray The Reaping will spare them today Chorus: They come to take the chosen ones To train them as the council's sons They make them kill without remorse They make them serve the darkened force Verse 3: We see the cloaks and hear the bells We know they cast their wicked spells We watch them drag the girls away The Reaping has claimed them today Chorus: They come to take the chosen ones To train them as the council's sons They make them kill without remorse They make them serve the darkened force Outro: The Reaping is over for now But we know they will come back somehow We l...

How I write horror in my fantasy world

Hello, fellow horror fans! I'm a dark Romantasy writer who loves adding horror elements to my stories. I enjoy creating dark and twisted scenarios, monsters, and villains that challenge my characters and readers. Horror is a great genre for exploring themes of fear, courage, survival, and morality. But there's a funny thing about me writing horror: I end up spooking myself sometimes. Yes, you read that right. I scare myself with my own imagination. Sometimes, I get goosebumps, shivers, or nightmares when writing a particularly creepy scene. I must remind myself that it's all fiction and that I control the story. You might think that's weird since I love reading, writing, and watching horror. I can handle all kinds of horror media, from books to movies to games. I enjoy the thrill, suspense, adrenaline, and catharsis that horror provides. I appreciate the creativity, craftsmanship, and diversity of horror stories. But there's one thing I can't handle: Halloween d...
