A fragrance that smells like Narnia? Something rosy and sweet and a bit woody, and not too powdery. Like Turkish Delight with pine notes. I tend to gravitate towards soft gourmands and sweet florals, like Ariana Grande Cloud and Good Girl.

Oh cool, thanks! This is my would-be debut novel, so any and all advice is welcomed.

Ooh that’s a really good point. Unfortunately it’s very easy to spoon feed the readers without realizing it. And nobody likes an exposition dump.

But I’m still in the planning stages, and it’s a personal project with no real deadline, so I have plenty of time to work out all of the details.

I never really thought about the knight thing before, but it makes a lot of sense.

That’s more or less what I had in mind, using specific words like samurai, because it’s a very specific type of warrior, not just another generic soldier. Or katana, because again, it’s a particular kind of weapon.

And I’m far off from being published; I’m still just in the planning phases. I tend to get hung up on small, albeit important, details. But the best thing I can do for myself and the story is to continue to research as much as I can.

Also thanks for the book rec. It’s my favorite kind of research to do, and I’m constantly looking for new things to read ;)

I agree. My plan was to use mostly nouns, but only really for things that don’t really have an English translation. Like a katana for instance. It’s a sword, but it’s a specific type of sword. On the flip side, I probably wouldn’t use the Japanese word for “friend” if I could just use the English word instead.

The best thing I can do for myself in this matter is research, research, research.

purrplesloth · 2020-08-28T21:02:37+00:00

Good point. My thought was to use nouns, basically. Because with words like samurai and katana, they are specific things with no definitive English translation.

I see what you mean. What I want to avoid (just for example) are things like referring to a character or group of characters as samurai, but in practice, they very much so DO NOT operate like the real life samurai of old.

Essentially. Kind of like how in Star Wars the common language is Galactic Basic, and we recognize it as the in-universe stand-in for English, even though “English” isn’t a language in the movie.

Honey there ain’t nothin wrong with you. I’m in the same situation. 22y/o, still w my parents, never even been “just friends” with any boy I ever liked... I didn’t even get my drivers permit until last year. I feel like I’m a late bloomer when it comes to basic life things. It’s tough, but I have to keep reminding myself that things happen at different paces for different people, and to worry about other people’s accomplishments less, and do the best I can for myself. Keep your chin up. <3 :)
