So, I've been doing NaNoWriMo this year and for the first time I am actually going to win. It's inevitable now. I am within about 100 words but... I am FINISHED!!!!
Still, there is something that is bugging me about my story.
It happens to be the way my fairy/imp/leprechaun man speaks... it feels... in authentic. He is cursing my MC to like, grow a backbone an stop being such a whiney bitch, or he's gonna do something awful to her.
ADDED: Couple of things I forgot to say:
1. it is a YA novel
2. The fairy in question is one of the Sidhe... sort of... he's a Fear Darrig/The Red Man/Red-Haired Man so kind of creepy-ish... but he is not evil, just mischievous... and she thinks he's evil only he's really working for her good.
3. It's really a story about growing a backbone and not being scared of being yourself.
So... if you would like to help me, you could write a tiny bit about how you think a fairy thing would talk if it were issuing a curse. You don't have to write the curse itself...
I don't want to steal your words or plagiarize or anything but I just have no idea how to make it speak without making it sound *lame.* Right now I've got rhyming couplets that make him sound like... well... a fairy. I want him to sound like a dangerous and powerful entity capable of great malevolence or something.
It's times like these when I really miss the writer's message board. ^_^
