In this episode of the podcast, authors Helen and Steaphan discuss the art of making up words and names in fiction writing, particularly in the sci-fi and fantasy genres. They share insights from their own book "In the Arms of the Void" and provide tips on drawing inspiration from real-world elements like Old English, creating names that evoke certain feelings or serve as premonitions, and the importance of consistency in using made-up words throughout a novel. The authors also touch on how readers may impose their own meanings on names if not given clear definitions. Ultimately, they encourage fellow writers to have fun with the process of inventing words and names in their fictional works.
