I mean, I...XD Alright, that's understandable. I mean, I don't claim to be able to capture my characters perfectly, but it's just a nice way to get out the creative juices all the same.<br />Haha, I love baby name websites~ And thanks. ^^"<br />But yes, do! I'll compile a list after I get a better idea of what types of music you might be interested in; I don't want to spam you with loads of music that may not be to your taste.

I especially love behindthename.com. And I also love looking through baby name books! I don't often make up names because I'm not very good at it. lol! You're obviously good at it though!<br />Heh, I listen to kind of stereotypical "emo" music but anyway, I think I will do a post on music that's currently inspiring me to write my NaNo. :D<br />Same here. I'm a musical omnivore, so I'd be glad to hear any suggestions you have!Brigid Gorry-Hineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481935746189946137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364337739890543904.post-81042256083811895552011-11-14T17:00:36.696-08:002011-11-14T17:00:36.696-08:00You're welcome!
And haha, I don't think it...You're welcome!<br />And haha, I don't think it really matters whether or not you consider yourself a good artist. It's just getting the inspirational juices going. But searching around for people who look like your characters is always fun. :)<br />I love name meanings~ And I think it's always so interesting to scour through random name databases to see what comes up. On the other hand, I also really enjoy making up my own names too. X3 (For example, Nasaiya Inamae is a combination of my name in pig latin and something I completely made up.)<br />And it'd be awesome to see what music you listen to! I'd be thrilled to know what to, as I'm always on the hunt for new music, and I bet I could make some suggestions if you're looking for more music as well!Nasaiya Inamaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036285899924040215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364337739890543904.post-43499480263898542472011-11-14T15:59:12.946-08:002011-11-14T15:59:12.946-08:00Thanks! :D

Although sometimes I look around on the Internet for pictures of people who look like my characters, and I also find that motivational.<br />Ah, yes! I'm obsessed with name meanings. I often base characters' names on what they mean. Reading and listening to music always inspire me, too. :) Usually I have a playlist of songs that inspire me for each story I write. I've been thinking about posting some of my novel playlists on here!Brigid Gorry-Hineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481935746189946137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5364337739890543904.post-59458911730161000172011-11-14T15:50:37.805-08:002011-11-14T15:50:37.805-08:00Oo, very neat!

Something else I like to do is draw my characters, so I get a better feel for what I want them to look like. I can envision them in my head all I like, but having it down on paper really helps. Other motivational activities I've done include looking up what my characters' names mean (if I haven't done so already), reading snippets of novels who have characters that have similar personality traits to mine (or not, if I'm looking for contrast), and listening to music that fits to mood of the particular scene. Yay.<br /><br />Happy writing!Nasaiya Inamaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036285899924040215noreply@blogger.com
