I find "I Dare You" one of the best techniques for getting over writer's block, so we may even use it here if needed.Monotremehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341257121611526784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263426866966123311.post-89189750678768773412007-11-02T13:56:00.000-07:002007-11-02T13:56:00.000-07:00That's the challenge, Momsie.

Many of mine are Japanese, so I spent a few days prior to Nov 1 researching Japanese girl and boy names and chose them with the characters' personalities and plot lines in mind. It helped while away those pre-NaNo days and alleviate the jitters!<BR/><BR/>Was moose rape ever legal?

I was concerned it was too 'fluffy' or 'trendy' of a name. <BR/><BR/>I also wanted the names that I chose to have meanings based on characters personalities (even though that won't be mentioned in the book)<BR/>So, I did reverse searches based on meanings. I needed the name for my main character to be 'dreamer'. <BR/><BR/>The only name for a female that came up was dreamer ...Cassandra! <BR/>:DDreaming againhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15717590226520457326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263426866966123311.post-72670935291652674282007-11-02T10:03:00.000-07:002007-11-02T10:03:00.000-07:00Coincidence.I had already decided to name one of m...Coincidence.<BR/><BR/>I had already decided to name one of my main female characters "Moose" when one of those silly writing challenges came up on the forums: "Write a scene where moose rape is made illegal."<BR/><BR/>Well, I can do that.Monotremehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341257121611526784noreply@blogger.com
