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 live in fear and we obey
The Reaping will come again

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. Think about the tone and context of the nickname. A nickname can convey different emotions and intentions, depending on who uses it and when. For example, a nickname can be affectionate, teasing, respectfu...
