    My sister is an author as well and she said that characters 'introduce' themselves to her. There's no way changing them or their names because this is just the way they are. I think this is a very nice little thing. :)

    • @AndreaMGC
      @AndreaMGC 9 лет назад +17

      Jolly Romania My brother and I walk through cemeteries and create lives for people we think have cool names. One that we still talk about today is a woman named Kathryn Montague. We call her Great-Great Grandma Montague and we'll occasionally talk about her as if she was really part of our family. It's become a hilarious inside joke within my family.

    Can't wait for this new project to be announced officially! And I think that even if the name of that character is too good to be wasted on such a small character, if it feels like that IS the name of the character then definitely stick with it - if the characters name themselves then just go with it - I absolutely can't wait for On The Other Side!! And I just got your poster from The Hopeful Shop and it is amazing - its so cool to have something scribbled on just by you - it feels really personal but I know thats silly xD Love you Carrie xx

    I've been searching for the name of those chips for a solid month now!!! The only thing I remembered about them was that you spoke about them in a Dear Tom&Gi video, and that they were chips covered in chocolate, but that was literally the only thing I remembered, so I've been googling and posing questions on tumblr, and I'm so glad I thought to rewatch all the Tom&Gi videos, because I finally found them!! Thanks Carrie xx

I don't know how you do it but I find it so amazing and inspiring that you have the energy to fill your days to the brink and still be such a positive, cheery person. I'm trying to work hard to become as motivated as you and stop wasting so many hours of my life. P.S. Thank you for making these videos, they make me happy :D ♥♥

    I recently named a character that was unnamed for a very long time. I was watching a tv series and came across a name I'd never heard before and it fit her perfectly and since then I feel like I've been able to be much more invested in her character (though it doesn't do me that much good for the main story, I love expanding my universe).

    When I'm writing a story and I can't come up with a name I google names that were popular in the country the character lives in around a certain time (1800's for example).

  • @dreamergirl247
    @dreamergirl247 9 лет назад +1

    I usually do all of my character name research on baby name websites, I would recommend Nameberry. The meaning of certain names really help to make or break a character. I also happen to have a list of random names (with nicknames) and surnames if I ever need one on the spot. I might be overdoing it a bit but I just love anthroponymy so much as it is! :D

    I do exactly the same with my characters, i feel it's sort of a sorting hat syndrome where they make their own decision and I just implement it. That might be a bad analogy, oh well. Also, super excited for your 'project' All I Know Now has become one of my favourite things to recommend at work (I work in a book shop) and if the new project is what I think then I'm sure it'll be a real winner

    @BookNomming 9 лет назад

    The way your characters tell you something isn't unusual a large amount of creative writers experience this, in my fiction for children module at uni, we were told to ask our characters questions and they would talk back. I struggled a lot with this and this kind of side of creative writing, however, I know a lot of people do do it, so your not alone :)

    As I am writing a novel myself, I can relate to the naming struggles. Most of the time taken up each day is coming up with names for new characters

  • @SmileySnowflake
    @SmileySnowflake 9 лет назад +1

    I really relate to the character naming thing! Once I've "chosen" a name for a character (or maybe the characters chose their own names), it becomes almost impossible for me to change it, like I would be breaking some secret law of nature! Also.. I really, really want that onesie

    Years and years ago my class went to listen to an author talk at the local library, can't remember her name, but she said she gets ideas for characters' names by staying after everyone else leaves in the cinema and looking for interesting names in the credits!

    I came down to watch Les mis last night! Spent all of the money I got for my 21st just to come watch the show and meet Carrie. The one night she is t coming out or signing autographs -_-
    Sad times.

    • @Carrie
      @Carrie  9 лет назад +41

      Just4UGaming Unfortunately you only pay to see the show and not to also have a Meet and Greet with the actors! Meeting actors is never a guarantee and shouldn't be expected! It's just a bonus to the whole experience if you do! I'm currently working 10am-11pm everyday and so needed to travel to hour and a half home to get to sleep before the next day started! I do hope you enjoyed the show and felt that the money you spent on the ticket to see it was well spent! Very sorry we didn't meet. Perhaps in the future! :) xxx

    When I read your novel I will be imagining each character whispering their name into your ear as you write.

  • @Rithene
    @Rithene 9 лет назад

    I have such trouble with character's names, and a lot of it comes from character naming themselves. When I'm lucky, it's "Hi, I'm Damien", and that's that. But mostly, it's "Hi, my name feels like this," and then I'm stuck trying to put letters into the shape of a name that a character has given me, and it's kind of like trying to solve a puzzle when you have no idea what the end result is supposed to look like, but you can always tell when you have it wrong. I have been known to write entire stories in which characters are always referred to as "xx". When I eventually come up with a name, I just find and replace. (in case of hand-writing, I just leave a space)
    I guess the only good part about this is that characters have a tendency to inhabit their names after a while. So I may have come up with the name CJ because the story was due the next morning and it was 3 or 4 AM, but now I can't imagine calling him anything different.

  • @RandomJot
    @RandomJot 9 лет назад

    As a writer, I can tell you you're not alone in that naming characters thing. For me it's less like they've told me their names, but more like I've sent them a name and they've told me whether or not they approve.
    With some characters a name just presents itself and instantly fits the character, but then there are some who are just so hard to name. Every name I try, it's like they just send it back and say 'that's not for me. try again.'

  • @KaWulfe
    @KaWulfe 9 лет назад

    Personally, I had that too with characters, like I felt they picked their names, but it's kinda slowed down now (after four years of writing). Mostly because I don't just come up with names anymore, I have to put quite a bit of time and effort into finding a few that could work and then picking the one that feels most right, by that point I can usually still change the name. And secondly, a character's new name is just something you need to get used to but after a while it's alright. :) xxx

    Smash is litterally the best kind of crisp thingy, Oh Carrie why did you have to remind me of it, now I feel sad that I probably won't have some for years.... Oh well I might beg my norwegian friend to bring me some when she goes there this summer

    I normally look at names' etimology, as I'm obsessed with lenguages, it's something fun. That way, I pick the names.

    That doesn't sound stupid, I agree my characters pretty much name themselves too and it gets to a point where they seem to have a mind of their own.
