I’m writing a novel and need help with names?


I’m writing a novel and I need a website that will give me names used between 1800 and 1900. If someone could help me that would be excellent. Also, i have already tried www.behindthename.com and they weren’t much help.

What’s the name of a children’s book with a character named Malicious?


When I was a kid, I remember reading a book where all the characters were colorful people-shaped monsters, and they were all named based on their personalities. For instance the purple one was a mean guy named Malicious, but I don’t know the other characters’ names. There was a part where they all walked through the snow.

I’m guessing I read the book about 18 years ago. Does anyone know the title? I don’t have a lot of info, but I figure maybe one of you remembers it too.

What do you think of this character name for a story of mine?


I know, I know, name’s aren’t near as important as who the character is.. and many times easier to figure out names AFTER you write the story, but I’m just curious as to what you think right off the bat when you hear this… Sort of a sci-fi/fantasy genre. Alright, the name is…

Landen Ro.

Tell me what you think! Thanks.

does anyone know of any creative writing summer camps/programs for teen writers?


I’m starting way ahead and I’m trying to get some names of some Arts summer programs that have creative writing workshops. I’m not looking for the cheesy children ones, I’m looking for ones that are for actual teen writers. Does anyone know of any?

what are the legal implications of writing a historic novel/ghost story?


I am in the process of writing a book about ghostly experiences at a psych hospital I work at, as well as some history of the place. There will be no names mentioned, except the name of the Hospital. All historic information I am using about it is public knowledge. So what, if anything, could be the legal implications of me writing this novel?

Where can I find good poetry books for teen girls?


I’m sixteen and I write a lot of poetry but I don’t read it much. I want to read poetry more so I could get better at writing but I just don’t know where to find them or which ones to get. Could you help me?
Could you give me tittles and names of good authors? I don’t think I was clear about what I meant.

Can short story anthologies be as successful as novels?


I’m not writing any, but I’m just curious. What are some names of some short story authors that were very successful? Do you think, if you write short stories and novels, that you should publish a few novels first before publishing an anthology of short stories?
