What's in a name?

10/11/2019

I saw a response to an answer I posted on Instagram or Twitter. No maybe it was Facebook. Never mind where, only what matters. It was a question about how to build characters. I do research about magic, legendary and mythical creatures, supernatural abilities etc... but what I think really matters is the name. I need the meaning of the name so I look up origins, meanings, synonyms then I sketch out the character the name belongs to. The way the character smells, eye color, hair color, height, weight, personal flaws, etc... Take Diarmuid Cinead from Book Seven in the Draoithe Series. He is a resurrected dragon who was once the Irish king of the ruined castle of Lachsmead in Leinster. If you want to check him out and learn about this unique character, Most of his story is in Draoithe: A Dark Gift.

Welcome to Ophelia Kee Speaks. This is a blog chronicling my independent author walk. The journey into the dream has been a life-changing experience as I try to become a full-time writer and leave the professional world behind me. In my blog each day, you will find information on the ‘behind the scenes’ for writing contemporary adult fantasy fiction and paranormal romance stories set in the dream. I will speak on topics detailing with my writing, publishing, promotion, and marketing as well as social media dealing with my books, book trailers, book launches, book art, music, audio, and video, as well as shameless self-promotion. I am not an expert and am not claiming to be one. I am simply one writer offering a glimpse of my struggle to become a successful independent author. Thank you for considering my words.
