I figured this would be a neat little way not only to introduce you to exactly what my fantasy (you know, the more I delve into the genre, the further from knowing just what kind of fantasy Diamond Crier actually is) is about but perhaps spark your own creative juices as well.
What I’ve done is I’ve taken a standard English word, could be anything. For example lets use “precious.” So I’ve taken the word “precious” and I want to include it in my novel but I want to make it more “fantasy.” Well, instead of making up completely different words that people would have no idea what the associations are, you create a new word out of the old one that, well, can be unrecognizable and people probably won’t know what you’re talking about when you use it. Eh, pratfalls. Minor things.
