Question regarding book im writing?

Question

a character from my book is a wolf. i described him as a big grey wolf (the description is way more detailed in the book). so wat else can i call him besides big wolf, grey wolf, his name (Skip)?

Answer 1

wolf? Dog? 'He'? Grey Figure? Grey Silhouette? Describe Skip in it too(Example: Uncontrollable fanged wolf) It'll make it better I think.

Give him a nickname(For example: Katherine gets shortened to Katie but is still called katherine from time to time...Skip might be called 'S' by other wolves or animals? Or Skippy by friends he may have?)

Otherwise 'you' can be just as helpful.

Don't use too many names otherwise readers may get lost and not understand what is happening and who is being described or talked to.    

Answer 2

In what context? Just as the story progresses? Why do you need something more to call him? Most characters go by a fairly limited number of identifiers: the man, Joe, various pronouns, etc.

In part it depends on who he's with. In one scene he might be "the older wolf," in another he might be someone's brother or lover or enemy.

Answer 3

kaynine (or however you spell it), this monster!, creature, vicious thing, people eating animal . . . yea that's all i can think of.

can you answer mine? it's easy peasy. It's about my characters (in my book): http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind... Smanx if you do. If you don't, that's ok, too.

Answer 4

He

the wolf

the creature

the dog-like animal

the alpha male

Answer 5

     His name could be Lupus, Latin for wolf, (I think!).

     The grey ghost

     A savage grey mist

     Master of the forest

    

Hope those names help a bit

Answer 6

I'm the author of 4 books....so far.

I would try to expand on what you've already described:

In describing BIG, think big like what?

"Skip was a big wolf. I don't mean big like a big dog. I mean big as in big enough to make a rottweiler pee himself in fright. Skip's thick grey hair looked like impenetrable steel armor and when those hairs on the back of his neck stood up straight, it meant trouble for whoever had dared to challenge him."

Add some feeling and emotion that engage the reader and makes them feel and see how big and grey the wolf is.

Congrats on writing a book! I wish you all the best success!
