Johanna, Vincent, Aleena, and Will, and a few others are my favorite names. Maybe Felix too. I like that name.

"You should write first drafts as if they will never be shown to anyone."
I need to relearn how to do that. How much more freeing it would be! On the other hand, first-drafting with care saves me some mega-revisions down the road. I quest for the happy medium!

I revise way too much in my first draft! I've re-written beginning 50 or so pages about three times now. I need to just write it to the end.

It's been wonderfully beautiful! There's been some low points, but, now, I know my characters like they're my best friends and the story has grown beyond what I ever imagined that it could be. Ever. I'm amazed when I think back on it now!

I love the top picture :) I wish I had room and money to do something like that.

A bit o' both, then. :)
My three fave characters: Will Scarlet (as previously mentioned) Allyn-a-Dale, and Edgwyn Wyle.
Three names I adore, regardless of the character's place on my faves list: Thackeray Kyle, Villem Deere, and Isaac Melchizedek.

Rose wrote: Ugh, I love those names! Thank you! Will and Allyn, I can't take credit for; Robin Hood legend came up with 'em first (though I think I may be the only one to spell "Allyn-a-Dale" just that way). As for the others, huzzah for strokes of inspiration!

*"Your call is very important to us..." Yeah, I'm so sure.
My best time to come up with ideas is late at night or when I'm alone listening to music and playing mohjong titans. :D
