WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 25 -- Sunday

[linaewen]

Greetings! linaewen here to help encourage you and provide you with a setting to talk about your writing as we enter the final week of our May WIP Challenge.

 

What kind of a writing day has it been today?

• I thought about my fic once or twice
• I wrote
• I did some planning and/or research
• I edited
• I've sent my fic off to my beta
• I posted today!
• I'm taking a break
• I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

For Discussion:  When coming up with a new character for a story, how much time do you put into working out a name?  Is the name an important part of the personality of your character?  Do you use any special website or reference for determining your names?

I can't write a character properly until I have a name, and I spend a fair bit of time researching names and their meanings.  One of my fandoms has extensive canon and I sometimes resort to using a rarely used name from a character who appeared briefly in canon history for an original character.
