What Does "Relatable" Mean? - Creative Writing Forums
2018年8月9日 · Yeah, I was thinking that. "Relatable" is a tricky word because I've heard of different meanings for it. In terms of "common ground" (like experiences, struggles, joys, perks, quirks, etc.) then just about anybody from any situation could be relatable with some characterization. Plus what's relatable for someone may not be for another; and vice ...

Japanese high school dormitory curfew. - Writing Forums
2012年4月11日 · Thank you Ian for this info but I need to understand how curfew works. I read that in Japan in contrast to America, curfews are taken much more seriously. Especially in high-school dormitories. University rules might be somewhat looser. At least that is what I figured after my research. But I don't know how that works. Ok, it doesn't need to be ...
A magical tree -- stealing? - Creative Writing Forums
2013年5月11日 · Trees figure as mythological "beings" and trope all over literature and history. From Yggdrasil to the Tree of Life to dryads to the Two Trees of Valinor, and the list goes on and on. It's just one of those things that humans latched on to early on as feeling like this thing (tree) must possess something special. I don't think you can "steal" a ...
Worst Opening Sentence - Creative Writing Forums
2017年2月24日 · No less impressively, Lytton coined phrases that have become common parlance in our language: “the pen is mightier than the sword,” “the great unwashed,” and “the almighty dollar” (the latter from The Coming Race, now available from Broadview Press).

2009年12月3日 · Hi. I'm trying to flesh out an imaginary world I'm developing, and there's a lot of proper nouns that I need to create for this world, in the world's own language. I'm drawing a lot of inspiration for the world from Edo period Japan, and thus far the names I've been creating sound Japanese (i.e. use the Japanese syllabary).
How do you name characters in your story? - Writing Forums

Texas - Dialogue and Accent - Creative Writing Forums
2014年5月8日 · Colorado is nice and all, but those trees and mountains are claustrophobic--and there's no point worrying about the Coloradans themselves. A lot of them are just weird. No one has any reason to go to Arkansas. Ever. Louisiana is one notch about Arkansas. Just one. Don't go crazy, now. Austin is full of [censored].
