So does anyone else make funny placeholder names
there was this teacher whose name i couldn't be bothered to come up with, so i called him mr. heho. then there was another one whom i named mr. hohe. and then there was mrs. hoheho.
and there was this village elder guy named “anotherplaceholder” because at the time i was calling a giant snake “placeholder”
except now i'm calling a magical rock thing “placeholder”
and i make placeholder names for all my chapters while i'm writing them. i'm currently writing chapter 20 which is temporarily called “grabby handz”
also i think it took me like half a year to come up with a last name for pascal (who's one of the main characters) and so his placeholder last name was Whattheheck or something like that

yee
(that's also what i temporarily named a chapter once)

Yay, glad to see interest! I invited both of you… not sure exactly how this works since this is my first time, but I'm excited!

Are you on about writing-prompts? I think they mentioned it on their Tumblr but they didn't really explain why. They're all still on their Tumblr, I think…

I have a bunch of words for prompts and you can use an individual word or put some together;
hellbound
insignificant
always
neverending
surreal
heaven-sent
rainclouds
candlelight
coma
time
endless
pain
heavy
meaningless
infinity
cold
seething
aspire
alight
delight
fire
fiery
fear
overpowering

aaand that's all I got for now- if I have more I'll add some

Yay, fellow writer! I'm writing a book about a conflict between a hidden fantastical realm, Caemia, and the rest of Earth.. basically Caemia has kept itself hidden for fear of being destroyed by the rest of the world, and magical beings all over Earth take refuge there. But an uprising comes, led by a woman named Vera who wants to control both Earth and Caemia. I've hit a wall, though. I don't know how my main characters, Alexa and Valiant, are supposed to stop her… and I don't know what to call it.. :c
I never know how the protagonist(s) are really going to stop the villain at first… maybe try just writing the beginning, and ideas might come to you? I actually only decided how the villain was (kind of) defeated when I was on the fifth to last chapter in the first book in the series i'm writing.
As for the title… it could take ages to find a good one, or maybe just a few tries. Try to think of one that would tell people a very vague idea of what the book is about, but leave them wondering. If that didn't help… lol i guess search up some tips???

I reckon you should just call it ‘Caemia’. Readers will go ‘ooh what’s a caemia' and pick up the book to read the back, then be drawn in. I called my book The Mark of the Red Paw when the actual Red Paw isn't mentioned until the final few chapters, keeping the readers guessing. It might be annoying for them idk but personally I find it a good strategy.

Yeah, that’s them. I’m not allowed to have Tumblr though, so I can’t check ;-; Good news is they continued posting their prompts on instagram, so I think they just deleted all the posts for the sake of having a clear page?? Not sure though…

Ooh. These are some schnazzy words.
And that's a nice form of writing prompt.

I'm writing a dystopian novel so…no. XD But I really wish I could actually talk to my characters and get to meet them.
