It's my way of getting even.<br />I love that you use the names of people important in your life. darkwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10896375750274931895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609030155206406866.post-69800264747087936852016-11-23T22:33:01.832-07:002016-11-23T22:33:01.832-07:00That's great when you can work together.

I am taking a little license with smaller towns and building them to fit the local area so it's not totally restrictive.darkwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10896375750274931895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609030155206406866.post-19432414814155836532016-11-23T14:44:19.691-07:002016-11-23T14:44:19.691-07:00For me, names come from friends, family and former...For me, names come from friends, family and former students.

It's all part of the writing process. Although, to be fair, many times the character will let me know what their name is. lol! Sometimes, it's a collaborative effort between MR N and myself. He'll come up with a first name and I'll come up with the last name. :)<br /><br />Good luck with your new book. I like the name Jane Wolf. Are you finding it hard to write locally?<br /><br />I'm much freer when I can create a world than to use something that already exists. It feels constricting, I guess. N. N.
