A book
A bit back I when I we were taking about writing books I thought it would be fun to do a group book like come up with a real general story idea and each writ a chapter orone character or something anyway when when the Truth about oxbo having the book and ring it reminded me about it and it seemed like it the aproching saga might be worth recording.

Oooh, that would be a lot of fun!!
ReplyDeleteI would not be adverse to it. You might just want to set out basic guidelines. (or you might have Star treck going to rescue Will Treaty as he is held captive by Love comes softly, who happen to be employed by the Federated Suns.)
ReplyDeleteAnd going through a Star Gate (or whatever that thing was) to do it.
ReplyDeletehim that doesn't sound to bad. :) Well ok, so it dose.
ReplyDeleteso do you I guess who ever wants to be a writer can make a suggestion about the story and after a few days we can hash it out and start .
Hmm. Sounds cool. It could be something exciting, but with a serious message and a funny side. :) How about random weird kids who write stories on a blog, and, WAIT! that's right, we aren't writing an auto-biography. :P Okay, but it could be about people about our age though. :) That's all the creative juice I have left right now. I've been creatively working on dull details of play stuff all day today. :) Hence the rather weird, disjointed, helter-skelter, comment above. :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteI don't really care very much what sort of story it is. It'll be fun no matter what so long as there aren't too many restrictions. Like, all subjects and characters must suspiciously remind the readers of Star Trek, Star Wars, Ranger's Apprentice, and/or Percy Jackson. Or there must be truth in every other paragraph. But a nice, obvious message is good.
ReplyDeletehmmm well should we base it on something like a universe we all like or just make it up out of thin air?
ReplyDeleteWe could debate a little about names or genders for the main characters, but I think just mostly make it up out of thin air. If we were to have a question or we could ask it as a comment here.
ReplyDeleteWhat time era would it be in?
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Maybe Medieval or Modern era. :)
ReplyDeleteRevolutionary era, Victorian era, and the 50's are cool too.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I don't really care which but when we start writing, I'll definitely need to look those up so I don't totally mess up.
ReplyDeleteOr we could make the era up but if were voting on the ones menchend I'd go with
ReplyDeleteMedieval.
That's a great idea! Making up the time would relieve the pressure of being authentic, but make it so we could have a lot more available story ideas. We could base some parts of it on the Medieval times, (swords, fun dresses, horses) but have it be a fantasy time.
ReplyDeleteWe could do Sci-Fi too. :)
Medieval has knights and castles and and tournaments and offering-hand-in-marriage-of-princess for doing a favor for the king? And the fairest damsel in England being carried off by a vile rogue and being rescued by a second son? Oh, boy! That would be fun!
ReplyDeleteScience Fiction is a LOT of fun, though! You can just practically use whatever you think of for the hero/heroine to use to transport to and from wherever or to defeat the villain/villainess.
Um, we were going to have this be non-fantastical, right? Like, no talking animals or dragons or gnomes. But we can use things that wouldn't ordinarily happen more than once every three thousand years?
um well I'm a bit distressed to see
ReplyDeletedragons on your list of fantastical items( i happen to believe in dragons and have an arsenal of augments and facts to back me up ) but unless you do do a SciFi and do talking animals for some scientific reason I'd rather stear clear of that kind of thing unless we feel it would greatly inhants the story , or something. As to monsters I'm not agents monsters in principle for instance (hero exploring depest darkest Africa or on alien planet and bums in to random monster) fine. Gnomes um no. unless someone Really can't live with out them and they are croushal to the best story since Machiavelli's the Prince no I'm not planing on them out of cereasity why do ask ?
Yes, yes, dragons existed and may still exist, now called dinosaurs. I'm talking about the fantastical red, green, orange, blue ones with wings that capture princesses and have lairs and hoards and can talk and plan and think. The ones the handsome princes under spells have to defeat in order to reverse their curse (ooo, that rhymed) and rescue their princess.The ones in books like "Dealing with Dragons" or "Grimm's Fairytales".
ReplyDeleteFine, we can leave that sort of thing out. *sniff* Or, if I thought it would be ok to add a little bit in some part, I'd ask first.
Um, I don't think I said anything about a prince.... What do you have against them? What have they ever done to incur your dislike?
um I don't have anything agents princes my refrents to them was just example an of a good book or at lest famece book which hapend to be called "The Prince"
ReplyDeleteOooooh, ok! Got it. Cool!
ReplyDeleteok all we have left to decide is whether it is first, second or third person.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget names!!!! :) I think I like third person best, but the others are fine too.
ReplyDeleteI think it should be third person. too.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, names. Well, the names will be different depending on what we're going to be writing about.
ok so third person um are we all thinking the same thing when we say third person?
ReplyDeleteThird person: "So they left to go fishing and poor Henry was left all by himself. Then Henry decided to go swing and left also."
ReplyDeleteNo "I" in the story. There's no, "So, since they'd all gone, I slid down out of the tree and sneaked into the barn."
That's what everyone else is thinking, right? That is, according to my sources (ie. countless English textbooks), third person past tense.
We would only use pronouns like "him", "her", "it", "them", and "they".
ReplyDeleteYup. Sounds like the third person to me. :)
ReplyDeleteok good now that we all agree we should choose some names.... how about names for two young men that sound exotic and mysteries.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of exotic?
ReplyDeleteNorse? Eric, Bjarni, Bjorn, Brander? (ok, those are not mysterious or exotic)
German? Adelbrecht, Adalric, Anton? (and neither are those)
Hawaiian?! Aikane, Alohi, Lulua ina? (haha, that last one means "Freckles"! Let's name one of the characters "Freckles"! Like, "Oh, Honey? I saw this name in a baby name list and I just have to name our child "FRECKLES!" Seriously, who would name someone "Freckles"?!! The poor kid would either feel pressured to be freckly or embarrassed cause he wasn't or ashamed because his name actually fit or just plain embarrassed that he was named "Freckles". Wow.)
Seriously though, before we decided on names, I think we should decide on the time era and the place. And are we going to name people for the meanings or how it sounds? Meanings are cool, but sometimes it just doesn't "sound" very much if you do it for the meaning.
well I think the time is late medieval-Renascence / fantastic as to the name meaning is good but not necessarily a trick is to use different languages to make something sound good and mean what you want for instance in my other book I had a girl named Mai Conme which means dance with me dance in
ReplyDeleteJapaines and Conme in some other
languag
Mk, late medieval. I'll look stuff up about that so I don't botch it. :)
ReplyDeletehm, cool. I like the mixing languages and using them to produce the right effect. That'll be cool.
ok get Eric
ReplyDeleteAnton for the one the younger guy ..... hmmm something for the second one :)
Eric Anton: I like it. :)
ReplyDeleteHmm, are the two guys related?
no but they are vary close friends
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Alexander? I don't know. Hmm, Christopher Lee? Karl Jesse? Or did you want something that sounded more like the first one?
ReplyDeleteOf those I like Christopher Lee the best. What about girls????? :P how many of those do we get to choose? What about Curt Allen?
ReplyDeleteOoh, I like that name!
ReplyDeleteOh, boy, Chey, we are going to have soo much fun with the girl names!
How do you like Marie or Linnea?
oo I do like that one.
ReplyDeleteBut as to the girls names ... well hm um just because the conversation the conversation brot it to mind was Cheyenne Ayda someone or did you just make it up ?
Psmithn- I like Marie, but I don't really like Linnea.
ReplyDeleteRennuke- Thimble, Ashley and I made it up as far as I know. :) I wanted something that people wouldn't think of me when they heard, so I took the Indian tribe, Cheyenne, and a name I liked, Ayda, and went with that. :)
Cheyenne Ayda :Well we can say it definitely suits you! Very unique! :)
ReplyDelete(p.s: to reply to your phrase in the chat window, I am quite sure that two of the guys do not hate you. Now Master Mow on the other hand.....no no just kidding :)
ok I'm going to start writing the first little bit maybe an intro we should start thinking about what the general story should be about.
ReplyDeleteRennuke: Who is writing first? Where are they going to write it? Who is writing next? What is it going to be about? Should you just write first and set the storyline? Who all is going to be writing? Is it just us three? We know it's going to be set in the later medieval years but is this city, country or suburb? And, umm, what country? England? I think you should just start it since this was your idea and that way we can just follow your precedence.
ReplyDeleteCheyenne: It IS unique. It's pretty, too!
Marie Anderson (or "en" instead of "on")?
Marie Landon?
I was looking up medieval names and found some of European descent. Some are from Ireland and I think some are German. Countries like that. Oh, and some are Greek. Not sure which ones are make and which are female but here are some that caught my eye that were listed under FEMALE, (so I'm rashly assuming they're female names):
Anachorita
Gwenhevare
Idemay (possibly pronounced Eye duh may)
Isemay (possibly pronounced Eye suh may
Jessimond
Isard
Iseldis
Linnette (or Lynette)
Lyonete (or with a double "t". I've also heard something rather like it: Lyonesse")
Maerwynn
Ivetta
Yvette
Andrie
Alisaundre
(more coming later)
Oh, I didn't see your comment, Rennuke. Well, that answers some of my questions.
ReplyDeleteOk. Yeah. Hmmmm. You guys know the most about that era and time so you know more what storyline would be appropriate.
LOL. Thanks for the reassurance Gryphon.
ReplyDeletePsmithn- Wow! That's a lot of names! Hmmm. I'm not sure any of them quite strike my fancy, but I kinda like Linette.
Are any of these characters brothers and sisters?
Sounds good Rennuke!
I don't have much time on my hands right now, so if I'm unresponsive you know why. :)
CheyanneAyda: I have no idea if they are. I suppose some of them are...it'll all come out when we start writing, I guess.
ReplyDeleteSome good names there I like
ReplyDeleteIvetta and
Maerwynn a lot. I'm starting with 2 men on horse back nearing the end of a long trip these guys don't haft to be the manes but they if not they should be close. There will be some siblings. The younger one(Eric Anton) of the two guys I think I'm going to have be a prince of a small nation. O this is set in medieval-Renascence / fantastic so we can do what ever we what as far as were they are. But we will also haft to design everything from scratch :)
Dose that answer you questions ?
Neat! Sounds intriguing Rennuke!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait!
ReplyDeletesorry I'm a slow writer :)
ReplyDeleteTwo men rode slowly over the hill. At first glance they
ReplyDeletelooked ordinary enough, perhaps a noble men with a trusted servant or lackey out
hunting late. But if for some reason someone was walking by and happened to
make a closer examination they would see they were anything but normal. The
first man looked to be in his late thirties and had plan ruff looking cloths.
The short and thick almost chubby sword on his back seemed almost useless in
the primeval wooded countryside they rode through. And the apparently decretive blade with its acid
etched sheath seemed a strange edition to the otherwise weather worn man otherwise
armed with a guisarme. His tough hard skin spoke of a ruff life spent outdoors.
Well scares both old and new told that that life had been a hard and dangerous
one. And well he might once have been called hansom, his nose had been broken a
few times too many until it almost made an s shape. And well the jaw still had
much of the strength it once possessed it had set in to a hard grim line that
left little room for good looks. But it wasn’t the face or the muscular frame
or even the small but foreboding horse he rode that made him seem worrisome. It
was his deep steely gray eyes. The eyes seemed to look nowhere but see everything,
not to concentrate on anything but to miss nothing. They seemed to say I’ve
seen it all….and endured.
The second man was dressed in classic fashion made of rich but
strong and durable fabric. On his soft leather belt hung a slit variant on a formal
sword of the (insert nations name here)’s court and unlike the one that was currently
fashionable this one was a good sword for any circumstance. And even though
both horses were well groomed the first mans was a lite brown, almost a faded look.
Whereas his was darker and reddish, in fact it was almost redder then you could
believe a horse could be. His looked down at him watching the beautiful sheen
glisten in the failing light and remembered the first time he had laid eyes on
this horse. His Father had taken one look and said “I don’t believe I’ll wast
any time or effort I’ll call you Flame” he remembered thinking that was a wonderful
name for his horse to be. The man’s name was Anton, Eric Anton to be specific. Although
he rather resented that first part. And
he grinned ruefully at the memory. The name had proved to be almost prophetic,
the men who had helped train him and said he should rename him something less optimistic
like “Volcano” or “Death on the run” but that terrible temper of his had
finally been conquered and he had turned out to be the best horse he had ever
seen.
um if we are going to do a hole book this we are going to need some way to handle all the text any Ideas ?
ReplyDeletethat depends on how far you want to go with it, how much trouble you want to go through. You could do as much as start a new blog page or something.....something less time consuming. Not actually sure what that other thing would be, my only idea was the new blog page but I didn't think it was a very good idea. Oh well.Oh, a tip. If you were to want the format to be a certain way, you probably shouldn't risk copy-pasting it. It usually messes the format up if you copy-paste it. Like, say, if you wanted to include a. . . .letter, or a note, and wanted it to be in the middle of the page, you shouldn't copy-paste it.Who's next? Or were you going to do more, Rennuke?
ReplyDeleteThanks I redid it so it is easier to read. Tt still need editing but I think I'll do that later
ReplyDeleteSo who wants to tack the next part ?
ReplyDeleteI don't care. I could, I suppose, if Chey doesn't want to. Who all is doing it, anyhow? I thought it was just us three; is it? Or was someone else going to pitch in?
ReplyDeleteGo ahead Psmithn. I'd love to write, but I might not get to it right away. I'll think of ideas. We still need a couple of girls names.
ReplyDeleteAre we going to do an each person takes a character or two, or just write chapter by chapter?
We could have a princess. Only the princess could start out in disguise as a peasant. No one knows she's a princess, but by her virtue and sweetness, they all think she should be. And there can be a little girl who's her especial friend... And we can tie them into the characters of the two guys in the middle somewhere...
Do we WANT to discuss plots, or just each write and see where we end up?
These are just some thoughts popping into my head... so if it seems a little jumbled and disjointed... well, you get the picture... At least, I hope you do. :)
I think we should just write and see where we end up.
ReplyDeleteOk, I'll take the next part.
ReplyDeleteAs the two men rode, a man broke from the cover of some
ReplyDeletedistant trees and galloped towards the two. He, upon reaching the two men who
had halted their horses to see what the new man (possibly a messenger) wanted,
knelt quickly, stood, and with his eyes respectfully lowered, said to Anton,
"My lord, your father and his generals need your help. They, after seeing
you off to Hamlington to arrange matters for the aid of General Karl, formed a
battalion and left the hometown, Ferrellton, to meet and possibly fight with
the encroaching enemy. Their plans were found out; they suspect a traitor,
which will complicate things for this war; and they were met with much, much
more resistance than they were figuring to have. In short, they are
outnumbered, Sir. They sent me for help at the very last moment and, even as we
speak, they are being slowly crushed under the mighty fist of General Kyle. In
short, you are to drop your mission and, with all speed possible, make for the
Field of Black Rocks to aid your father and your country." And, with that
dramatic ending, he swept up onto his horse and gallumphed off.
Anton smiled slightly to himself and muttered to himself,
"'In short', huh? I'd hate to be around when that guy really lets
himself go with the talking thing." The other man looked at him quizzically from under graying brows; Anton just
shook his head.
"Well, Eric," the other man, (I'm going to call the other man Sir Christopher, but we don't have to keep that name.) whose name was Sir Christopher, said,"we should do as yonder talkative fellow suggests and ride to your father's rescue. Good press to have a reputation of saving generals from humiliating defeats, you know."
Anton sighed.
He said, "I would go help my father even if would give me a BAD reputation.. Yes, yes, you're right. Though, it would've been nice to have been able to have secured that truce with General Karl. Ah well." He turned towards Christopher, "Where's the nearest town? I want to send a message home to tell my men to prepare and meet me three miles from the Field of Black Rocks." ( :We can change that name too, if someone can think of something else, that was just what was on the top of my head at the time: ) Christopher pointed southeast,
"That way a few miles." He frowned, "At least, according to this stupid map it is."
Eric grinned, "Well, last one there's a rotten egg!!" He kneed his horse on and broke into a steady gallop. Boy, that Flame could run!
Chey: I agree that there needs to be some female influence in this book. I couldn't get to it though. Maybe you can jump to another place where the girl is. Maybe the town nearest where the Field of Black Rocks is. Maybe her brother, the prince (or not, I guess they don't really have to be royalty. You can decide, you're next, after all :) is disguised as a normal soldier or is there helping his father with something or.... well, I guess that's up to you.
ReplyDeleteAnd, the writing styles. We all have really different writing styles. How about, if someone introduces a new character, they have the license on what that character is like and the rest should try to copy it when referring to them? That way, a character introduced by Rennuke would have the characteristics HE wants it to have, a character introduced by Cheyenne Ayde would have the characteristics SHE wants it to have and anything introduced by me would continue to have the characteristic I would precedent into them. Then the characterization would be strong. In some books, all the characters have some traits in common, just because the author liked that trait. But, with three different authors each having their own traits to input into the characters they themselves introduce, the characters would differ more and make them seem more like real people. If you guys want to do that though, you have to deescribe the character you are introducing, either in the text or as a little footnote for us so that we can not mess up the characterization.
Or, we could have it so that, with each author, the characters change a little to mold to each authors ideas.
Does any of that make sense?
(Renuke, I copy-pasted a little bit of that that and it messed up a slightly, if you want to fix the spacing a little, you can. I don't know how. I'm told there's a little "edit post" button but I've never seen it. Sorry.)
Psmithn- Yeah, I think we should keep the character the same as the introducer thought they would be. That's a good point that all the characters will be different, making it more real.
ReplyDeleteHere's my part-
Reviera stepped out of the hut door just as the sun began streaming over the trees. She held her hand to shade her eyes as she looked north. She sighed. "No sight of anything that way" she thought "I hope everyone is alright." She turned back, and picked up her pitchers, heading to the town's well. Her bare feet picked up the dry dust. There hadn't been much rain lately, and things were quite dry. Her blue linen dress blew about her ankles in the gentle breeze. "What a glorious day to be alive. God's creation is so beautiful!" she thought. She heard a voice calling her name...
"Reviera! Reviera!" She turned with a smile
"Hello, Anna! How are you today?"
"I'm good" responded Anna,with her vibrant smile. Though Reviera was 17 and Anna was only 9, they were fast friends. They both loved adventure, and Reviera was glad for a friend as lighthearted as she.
"Will you be busy today, Reviera?" Anna asked.
Reviera laughed "Am I ever NOT supposed to be busy?" Anna joined her laughing. "Well, I was hoping we could go to the meadows today..."
"Ah! I see!" said Reviera "And what would you suggest we do once we get to the meadows?" she teased.
"You mean we can?!" squealed Anna.
Reviera smiled. "I'll see if Mistress Mary will let me off this afternoon. Mending hasn't been in as much demand since our boys left for the war... And we don't have as much washing to do either. I'll meet you there at 3:00 if I can."
Anna looked down. "Ok." she said, swallowing hard.They had reached the well, and Reviera paused to look at Anna.
"Anna? Are you all right?"
Anna nodded, but Reviera could see the tears forming in her eyes. She sighed. It was hard for all of them with their brothers and fathers gone. Not that it mattered to her. She had no family here... And as far as anyone knew, she had none at all. She lived with Mistress Mary, and Anna and her were the closest thing she had to family. She bent down and looked into Anna's eyes.
"You're missing Ben, aren't you?"
Anna nodded, the tears that were pooling in her eyes spilling over. She rubbed them away with her dusty hands, leaving a smudge of dirt on her face. Riviera bent down and hugged her. What could she say? No words seemed good enough to help, and after all, she didn't really understand. She'd never had a family to miss. "Jesus, please comfort her, and keep her brother safe." she prayed.
Good, Chey!! Perfect, now we have a good start.
ReplyDeleteRennuke, it's your turn when ever you have the time.
WOW
ReplyDeleteI haven't been on here for a bit give me little time and I will wright some more
Psmithn i think you have a important point about the characters mabey we should do some organizing before I wright anymore how about we each describe a bit about the characters we introduce when we intro dose them. On other topics
ReplyDeleteThis is just a thought I'm a bit torn on this well I was reading Cheyenne's post I had this thought. Since we are writing about a different universe I was thinking we should use a
different name for God and Jesus not make something up just use one that's not formiler I was thinking this for a number of reasons. 1 It would be more realistic to have a foreign nation have a
different name for Him.
2 If nonChristians do read this it would give a chance to talk about God without being obvious.
But then on the other hand there is something about the name of JESUS and I don't want to be avoiding it some I'ma bit up in the air with this
and this all might be a mute point because I thought we all agreed to wright in third person I'm no sold on that so if we want to change that or if someone feels more comfortable with first person thats fine I just want to know in advance so we can factor that in.
Now about the story. Eric isn't set in stone yet but I want him to be bit young and dashing feeling but he has been there and do that so not greenhornish at all. As for the other guy "sir Christophe" would be fine but I don't want him to be a knight :)
I agree. I'll have to write out a biography of the two I introduced.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point Ren! Kinda like Aslan was representing Jesus as the Lion... I do like using the name Jesus though. He's a really special person, and the name has power... so I guess I'm up in the air too. Heh. :) We could discuss what would be possible names, and then if we can't find any we like to use, we can just use the real ones... I'll edit my post if we decide a different way of portraying it.
I'm most comfortable writing in third person, but whichever is fine... It seemed like we were all wrighting in third person, right? Would you rather do first person, Ren?
Okay, biographies-
Reviera- Sweet, but adventurous. She doesn't have a big tendency to get into trouble (like most adventurous spirits seem to in books), but she will face danger to help those she loves. She loves the outdoors and bare feet... She doesn't often express, or show it when something troubles her, but is always ready to listen and help others when things trouble them. (She's not to outspoken about her feelings). She's strong (physically and spiritually). I'm imagining her having a strong faith (however we're working that in), but I don't want her to be a weakling physically either... People don't have to be shocked by the amount of strength she has, but she is very capable of doing things.(long explanation, sorry)
Anna- Gentle and open, especially to Reviera. They're very close. She is very tender towards those she is close to (kind of easily swayed by their wishes... no brainer to fetch water, run errands, whatever for their benefit). She's very sensitive (in a good way).
Am I being too complicated with these? I'm trying to put into words and descriptions their character.
no your not being to complicated this is just a though but what if we did use real names just no the more commen ones?
ReplyDeleteGood thought... I'll look some up. How would it work incorporating it into the story?
ReplyDeleteHmm, wow, you guys have been thinking a lot!
ReplyDeleteI like the character traits for your people, Chey. The characteristics fit with the names well. :)
We definitely need to have some character symbolize God or incorporate it somehow. If this was going to be more like a an allegory we could have a King and a rival. Perhaps the rival would be a prince that was punished for some misdeed and felt wronged and thus wars against the King and His kingdom. I'm not sure. But then they couldn't pray, it would be more like the Narnia books in that way, if we did it like that.
Ok, Ren, so I guess I sorta messed up on Eric a little? (blushes) That's embarrassing. Ah well, when we get this done and we go through and edit it and stuff, we can make sure that the characterization was staying constant throughout it all and fix any goofs.
So, for an example of what Eric is like, would he be something like Artos in the Pendragon? Older? Younger? More experienced? More "dashing"? :)
I'm good with third person. I think that if we incorporated an "I" person at this point, it might sound weird. Also, though, the author of a book will sometimes put himself/herself into the book as someone that lives in the village and listens under the doors and windows and thus tells the story, not about themselves, but from their point of view, (at least I think so, possibly quite a while ago, in Dickens time, or some other such author from how ever long ago it was that Dickens lived. Or longer. I have no idea.), but I think that style died out. I'm running on guesswork here. It just seems familiar that an author I once read wrote like that. Just mentioning himself/herself every now and then as if in the story but being a very minor character. Does that make sense?
So, if someone wanted to do a little first person, there is more than one way. And, of course, a few books do it in first person with "I am" instead of "I was", but not very many authors try it and even fewer authors can quite carry it off.
But, I guess we're all ok with the third person right now, if I understand correctly.
Psmithn I thought you did fine on both of them.
ReplyDeleteAs for the names I wasn't thinking allegory as much as just using one that isn't known like Ehyeh, meaning I AM or Elyon meaning Most High bouth are from Hebrew
Really? Whew! I was slightly worried.
ReplyDeleteOk, yeah, so would a Name like one of those simply take the place of the ones more commonly used?
I like Ehyeh. Sounds neat! Elyon is cool too. Are there some for Jesus too? The first two both sound like names for God the Father... Do we want just one, or to talk of the Father and the son? It might be less confusing if we just use one... it could start sounding like they have many gods or something. Heh.
ReplyDeleteunforchanetly most names for Jesus are prity well known so we'd haft to pull a stunt to get one like saying p
ReplyDelete"Prince of Peace" (english) in Hebrew witch is "SAHR sha-LOME" bit of a mouthful but maybe we could do something like use one of his old testament names and do the same thing I'll work on that
Sounds cool! Do you think it will work to use two?
ReplyDeleteCan you give me an example of how to incorporate these into a portion of story? Just so I get an idea of how to work it all in... I'm not quite sure how to do it... I'm so used to the way I talk about God and to God, it's hard to think of ways to do it differently. WOULD we be just replacing the names? Talk of God differently?... I'm not sure how it all works out...
Here are some for what I came up with what do you think of some of there for Jesus's names
ReplyDeleteAnstice =“One Who Will
Rise Again” it’s a female name but we could change that
Asia= Resurrection female name
Cleopatra=Glory Of The Father female name
Epifanio One
Who Gives Light
Hiero Holy
Illias Jehovah Is
My God
Kristopher Christbearer
you can see where that came from here http://www.answers.com/topic/saint-christopher
Matthias God's
Gift
Those were Greek here are some Hebrew ones
Adonai My Lord
Amiel God Of My
People
Amir Proclaimed,
Prince
These two are both female names from Hebrew
Galia God Has
Redeemed
Galya God Has
Redeemed
Hmmm. I like Hiero and Anstice. I like Adonai too. That one seems more like one for God the Father though. Didn't Jesus say that when He was on the cross?
ReplyDeleteI really like the meanings of Amir and Epifanio, but I'm not sure about how they will sound or look in a book... especially Epifanio... Amir seems like it might work though...
Yeah, I like those. Hiero, Illias, and Amir seem like they would work.
ReplyDeleteAt, least, that's what I think.
ReplyDeletewell out of the ones you guys piked I like the meaning of Amir the best, so lets go with that.
ReplyDeleteWell do we need to discuss anything else?
Sounds good! I can't think of anything else we need to discuss at the moment.
ReplyDeleteAll right with me. I can't think of anything else to discuss.
ReplyDeleteum just so we can keep everything strait maybe we should brake this in to a couple threads like anything we needed to discus about the book we could do it on here then then one for the actual story and it might be nice to have just a fact page to. or would that just make it more complicated ?
ReplyDeleteI do think we should do something different to make it more organized and to have the different parts of it more easily accessible, but I don't have any ideas. A couple more threads would probably do it but I'm totally illiterate in the ways of blogs and such, so whatever you two decide on is good.
ReplyDeleteSounds good Ren! I think two threads, one for story and one for discussion would be a good idea. A fact page? Like for facts on what the characters are like, or....?
ReplyDeletewell like I maby just a referents page so with caricter discripchens name Ideas maybe some plot stuff things like that just so we don't wight our selves into a corner .
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good idea.
