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.

How I chose my Pen Name for fantasy writing

One of the most important decisions for a writer is choosing a pen name. A pen name is a name that you use instead of your real name when you publish your work. It can help you create a distinctive identity, protect your privacy, and appeal to your target audience. I have been writing fantasy stories on Wattpad for a while, and I have changed my pen name several times. When I first joined Wattpad, I went by the name of KittyPrydeofxmen, because I was a fan of the X-Men comics and movies. Then I changed it to Silkytiger because I liked the sound of it and it had a feline touch. However, neither of these names felt right for me as a fantasy writer. I wanted a pen name that would reflect my genre and style and sound professional and memorable. I also wanted to avoid using my real name, because I wanted to keep my personal and writing lives separate. So I started looking for a pen name that would suit me as a fantasy author. I searched online for some inspiration and found a pseudonym name...

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...

Crafting Unique Nicknames in Your Fantasy World

Nicknames are a great way to add depth and personality to your characters and show their relationships and culture. However, writing nicknames in a fantasy world can be tricky since you have to balance creativity, consistency, and clarity. Here are some tips on how to write nicknames in your fantasy world: Think about the origin and meaning of the nickname. A nickname can be derived from various sources, such as the character’s name, appearance, personality, occupation, hobby, or history. For example, Elora might be nicknamed Ellie, Lora, or El by her friends, Bright Eyes, Starlight, or Spark by her admirers. A nickname can also have a hidden or ironic meaning, such as a character named Rolf being called Wolf by his enemies or a character named Cora being called Coral by her lover.
