I hate how much googling you have to do when writing!!!!!!!!! All the stuff you have to learn about GAH!! If your going 'what the hell?' I'll explain. You see for my next chapter of my story it involves demon classes and the first class is dancing, due to my descision that demons must be very aleinated from present time, along with elves and yap yap yap...soo I have to come up with a whole new style of dancing which I have decided is a whole bunch of different styles of dancing combined into one so now i have to do a TON of googling!

[[deleted user]]

lolz. I hate that too. That's why I like fantasy, because then I can just make up a whole bunch of stuff.

[Paige]

yeah

[T.O.L.I.]

yup

[Brigid ✩]

me too!! ^^ and then the stuff i don't know, i just guess. or i make it up. and if someone's like "that doesn't make any sense" i'm like, "yeah, well, you know what? SHUT UP!!!"

okay, just kidding. :P but i'm serious that i don't do a whole lot of research on my writing.

except yesterday, i looked up the meaning of the word "kami" in a book about shinto. lol.

[Seth, The plan is simple--stay alive.]

What did it mean?

[Brigid ✩]

Okay ... I hope that I explain this right so as not to offend Shinto people. Of course, I highly doubt that anyone here is Shinto but whatever. lol.

If I understand correctly, the belief is that everything in the world has a spirit in it called a kami. They don't really have a god or gods; they believe in these kami things that live in everything -- people, inanimate objects, trees, mountains, all that stuff. interesting.

[Paige]

lol

Oh, that sucks. Hmm...I usually don't need to do research for my stories, but sometimes I do. I've been doing a LOT of research for Hunted, actually...mostly because they're traveling from place to place, so I have to google the places so I can describe the places I've never been accurately, and also for hotels and restaurants and such. It's not annoying, though- I actually think researching it is fun! :D

[Kenzie]

You did Ann Arbor quite nicely. It's actually a pretty nice city. XD

[Veronica, What the neck!?]

OMG I LOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEE ANN ARBOR!!!!!!

sorry, just had to put that out there.

And how would you guys pronounce Ypsilanti? I've heard that only people from michigan can pronounce it correctly. Same with Mackinac (which is pronounced MACKINAW! actually, there's mackinac island and mackinaw city and both are spelled right...)

Oh really, I did? Thanks! Phew, that's a relief. *wipes sweat off brow* I always get worried when I write about places I've never been, because I feel like I'm portraying it wrong or something.

[Kenzie]

I know, I was just wondering if I could pronounce it correctly. *sigh* I'll delete it.

Did I at least get the pronounciation correct?

[Kenzie]

They have a really cool museum there--or did. I went there on a field trip once. XD And then I've been there other times. But it's a really nice city. Like downtown Milford--sort of. :)

[Veronica, What the neck!?]

Yes, you do have it correct. And it is awesome there. Wait, are you talking about the Ann Arbor hands on museum? I LOVE THAT PLACE!!!

[Paige]

:D

[T.O.L.I.]

heehee

[Kenzie]

Yeah! That place was so cool! I love how they decorated everything. :)

[Sella, ov vey! i haven't checked this group in months. ><]

Cool, thanks Kenzie and Roni! :D
