I have something to tell you all

One of the hardest things I have to do when writing is to pick names for my characters. It derails me. I struggle. I tell myself it doesn’t matter, what matters is the character… I doubt I’m ever going to come up with something as awful as Renesmee. Thanks, Stephenie Meyer.

Here’s what I’ve started doing.

Stealing your names. Yoink. Not all your names, there are thousands of writers on here after all… but names I see regularly go into a Scrivener file and I use them when needed.

Don’t panic. I’m not writing characters based on you. They’re my characters with your names and if you get published or put on TV, I’ll let you know in the DMs.

The other option was Renpenguin. I need this.
