How do you choose character names?<\/b><br \/>A lot of times, I&rsquo;ll have characters existing in my head as little ghost flames, and as I look through names, they&rsquo;ll start giving me hints on what they like. Like, one will say their name starts with a B, so I&rsquo;ll look through B names, or let that sit and as I go through the day, something comes up and they go THAT ONE!! THAT&rsquo;S MY NAME!! Sometimes they don&rsquo;t have a story yet, or I&rsquo;ve been using a placeholder name for chapters, but once they find their name, they&rsquo;re very loud about it! Same goes for their other characteristics. <\/p>\n<p><b>11.

I have tons of ideas&hellip; but executing them is a bit different. <\/p>\n<p><b>12. Do you have a designated writing spot<\/b>? <br \/>It used to be in a booth at a cafe, but I&rsquo;ve since moved + pandemic. Now it&rsquo;s either at my desk or on the couch w\/ laptop, but neither are super comfortable. I guess my answer, then, is &ldquo;not really, but I wish I did.&rdquo; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More from this writing meme&hellip; 9.
