Well, they rarely see themselves as villains so the ones with sin in them I personally wouldn’t choose and I feel like having Arcane in the name would confuse people as I think Arcane is the name of the world or main city in your book series right? So out of the rest Order of Rust I feel like sounds the best.

The world is called Alterra. The reason why I added the word “arcane” was because of its meaning.
Last I checked the word arcane means hidden or secretive. Although it is a medium-sized organization, it is a bit secretive, and they commit plenty of crimes that are deemed sinful to many. Their greatest sin will be unleashing an evil deity and have it cause mayhem on the whole world.

The Order of Rust does sound interesting though. LOL!

Imperium’s the name of the dystopian country in my last book! So I have to vote for that. (>‿◠):v:

It is okay. :slightly_smiling_face:

What makes it more awkward is the etymology of sin is an archery term that means “to miss the mark”. No group would like to call themselves unskilled and inaccurate.

Is that real?

Yeah, for the Greek–not the actual English word. Quasi-home-Biblical “scholar”, so I look at the Greek and Hebrew on occasion, especially in the middle of dumb arguments.

That doesn’t touch on the Greek.

Be more accurate to say the translation’s etymology.

Specifically: usage: prop:
The first thing stated is the proper definition of the word, and what follows after that is it’s usage.

This gives some of the expanded reasoning on how the word is used, fairly short.

Ah, alrighty then.

Do you find that using a timer for writing is helpful or not?

  • Yes, I find using a timer is really helpful for me.
  • No, I don’t use a timer, nor do I plan to.
  • Maybe, I will use a timer to help with writing someday.

I honestly feel like 30 up is really pushing it but oh well.

P.s. you can include manga, graphic novels, completed webtoons or Wattpad books if you’d like. I’m personally counting anything that’s actually published.

No. I just don’t read books.

The only time that I “read” books is for research purposes, but that isn’t all the time.

It is strange because I prefer to write more than read.
Both go hand in hand.

Plus, there’s the fact that I might possibly have aphantasia.
