And almost all my characters have Swahili names.<br /><br />The only reason I wanted to know was if Wimbo was a really well-known name and I somehow didn't know that... I want all the names to be pretty obscure, ya know?<br /><br />Oh that is so cute! I love her name (Agatha's, that is), by the way! Having a stuffed wombat sounds like the cutest thing (even if I'm not entirely sure what a wombat is...). :) Admittedly, Wimbo makes a very good "made up by a child" name!

And I was kind of playing around with sounds and Wimbo just kind of happened. Wimbo the wombat - makes me crack up every time. I love how it sounds and it seemed a very six year old ish name so I went with it!

I'd never written a novel as fast-paced as my nano novel, and with so many explosions ;) (I like swords and bows...the old fashioned way) <br /><br />Lovely post! <3<br /><br />- audrey caylin<br />http://audreycaylin.blogspot.com/Audrey Caylinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113941859200338215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326341874458376487.post-29090208105576334842016-12-03T17:33:11.553-06:002016-12-03T17:33:11.553-06:00CONGRATS ON FINISHING!!

But that was YA (although I still want to trim it)...maybe your MG could be split into two books since it's so big?! Either way, good luck with the edits and rewrites! I HOPE YOU HAVE HAD ALL THE CAKE TO CELEBRATE.<br />And I also completely agree about how fun it is to work on a new project. <3 It's so exciting and yayyyy for all the new possibilities!!CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326341874458376487.post-25238151444702327582016-12-03T14:56:41.350-06:002016-12-03T14:56:41.350-06:00Ohmygoodness, you have a character named Wimbo??? ...Ohmygoodness, you have a character named Wimbo???

I may still be working on it by the time April's Camp NaNo comes around, but HEY. I made a tone of progress.<br /><br />Now I'm taking a break to focus on school and studying and exams (ugh) and then also the holidays and all the work that goes into that. *nods* EEK BUT I'M EXCITED! <br /><br />Love your snippets! They have a very whimsical, MG feel. I'm sure that whoever reads it will love it. <3 (and I totally get you about having to restrain the violence/heaviness. :P)Emily Drownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072107706844583472noreply@blogger.com
