I have a name that is fairly common in my generation (it seems to have faded in my son's) but I rarely see it in stories here. If I do, it's no big deal. Being common, I'm used to seeing used for characters in literature.
I've used my name in a few of my stories, probably because I didn't feel like using something else. Now, as for some of the characters in my stories, any similarities to people here on Lush is coincidental. Then again, maybe it isn't.
My name is too uncommon. But if I ever did happen to stumble across a story with a character using my name, especially if it was told from that character's point-of-view, I think it could only add intensity to the connection of the story. Make it seem more personal and real.
My name is also uncommon, but I have encountered a minor character in a fantasy novel who shared my first name.
She was a fat, matronly old sorceress. She was something of a legend, known for her strictness and for her punishments (It's always a paddlin').
Happiness
My life has no meaning, no direction, no aim. No purpose. But I'm happy. I can't wrap my head around this. What the fuck am I doing right?
Romance is good, so thank you very much xxx
