naming (part 2)
This is a bit off topic, & a personal quirk, but I won’t write a character without a name. To me, they have no identity. Later changing a name can lead to major revisions.
Is this crazy? It’s absolutely crazy, but I find it encouraging that I embrace the character’s identity.
Example: Riparia wasn’t Riparia in Book1. I changed her name before drafting Book4. It cost me months, but was oh so worth the effort.
