I actually just did write a very few words, but I think they were good 'uns. :-)

Since I write a lot of Harry Potter, one of my favorite resources is The 50 Commonest and Rarest British Surnames. Invaluable for naming the OCs that flesh out the stories. And because it's an obsession for me to put my stories in a real place, I use Google Maps extensively. A place with a good-sized river and some steep-ish hills within an easy hour's broom-flight of London? No problem.
