Character names are a problem for me. Sometimes I get stuck on a certain letter - all my characters names will begin with the letter M, for instance. I spend so much of my writing time thinking up character names. One of my friends said that he had his daughter think up names for characters in a book he is planning to write. He told me the names she came up with, and they are much better than my usual. Outdone by an 8-year-old. What I sometimes do is look on the shelf at some of my albums and combine the names of band members - Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, for instance, would become Steven Perry. I wonder what I'd get with a U2 album, with Bono and The Edge - The Bono, maybe? Yeah, stupid.
A dog named Foxy lives down the street from us. As Samuel and I were walking by yesterday, he said, "You know, she does look like a fox. But I don't know why they put the letter C at the end of her name."
