RE: Radical Revisions — Fun with Queries and Main Character Makeover
I'm with Oskilo and Hazem, definitely "Sasje". Exotic and interesting... the others all to at least some degree have that familiar ring of names you'd expect from a fantasy/sci-fi character. Sasje is completely surprising :)
I like the idea of a character who can't stop herself falling through time... it has a range of potential dramatic ramifications. The lead characters in my Strangeling series are similarly burdened by powers that are also liabilities, so I guess this particular theme is dear to my heart :)
Ooohhh! Strangeling series. The name alone intrigues me. Thanks for the input and encouragement. I like Sasje too. :)
You're welcome :) I think it's such an interesting thing you're doing with your fiction here, kind of workshopping aspects of it as you go along on Steemit.
I've never really written fiction in my adult life, only poetry in high school and college, switching over to songwriting from there. I thought when I started in on the free writes that I'd just be doing stream of consciousness poetry like I used to do, but the first couple entries turned out to be fiction. And then I wrote an entry I didn't want to stop writing... and now The Strangeling is happening! I never would have expected to be writing fiction at all, let alone something so ambitious (for me).
I love this platform <3
