German history question?
So I'm writing a character with a heavy German background. He is an angel/demon, so he is immortal, but when he was human he was German. But as I worked out the timeline and his backstory, I realized a possible problem. When he was human, he would've been alive somewhere around 1500-1600s.
So my question is, what was Germany (or that area where Germany is located) like during that time? Was the German culture (the language, etc) alive back then, or should I bump his backstory up a century or two?

1 AnswerOther - Family & Relationships6 years agoWhat are your thoughts on resurrecting characters?
My friend and I are writing a book and we're thinking about having the protagonist die in the middle of the series then resurrecting about twenty chapters later. The reason for doing this is to show how her hybrid blood has the power to mix and revive her. (We don't have all the details worked out yet, lol)
So if we can get your opinion that would be nice!

3 AnswersLanguages7 years agoShould I play cello or string bass?
I've been taking violin lessons for like a week and one thing that stands out is how high pitched it is! I don't like that one little bit LOL. But anyways... I want to continue learning a strings instrument, so I was either thinking a cello or string bass, since they are deeper in tone. I also play bass clarinet so I prefer lower sounds. So which one would be better? If it makes any difference I'm about 5".

10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoShould I teach myself violin?
A few years ago I took violin lessons. Due to an injury in my hand I had to stop. Then school starts, and my school doesn't have an orchestra/strings program so I decided to play bass clarinet instead. Now I play the bass on a regular basis in school but I want to continue the violin now. I remember the basic (how to hold the bow, how to hold the instrument, etc) it's just the string names and notes I've forgotten. So should I teach myself on my own, or wait till summer to find a teacher?
