I'm already working on a book(s). Good luck to those who do this thing.

I've found that after I get a few notes together for a story it really helps to assign character names. If you do that at your leisure you can pick just the right names and begin to think of the characters more clearly. Or at least I can.

Good luck.

Oh, and if I swap out a name later I sub one with the same syllabification, so the cadence of the prose remains the same.
