it doesn't matter what the readers enjoy as long as the Author does.
Everyone hates editiing.. I know I do lol xxx
My only advice is to not use the same name in multiple stories unless you're using the same characters (in a series or multi-chapter story.) If you want the name to have some significance, Google what the name means. Sometimes you can throw in an Easter Egg with a name that has a hidden meaning.
Sometimes a name helps "flavor' the story, Such as Peckle Stic or Favorous Sweete.
I prefer Carly, even though Carly Fiorina kinda ruined the name for me.
Also another thing I was wondering when I'm introducing the characters Can the writer or author describe a little bit about their character? For example their looks something to give the readers an idea of what she or he looks like,and also their personality or do I leave those two things to the readers imagination?
I was wondering, if anyone would be interested, in collaborating on a story?
Oh don't worry Sophisticate,I wouldn't give a half ass description like that of a character or their personality,I'm just trying to pick readers or writers brains on what would be good? cause Im still new to writing,some times it is a bit hard to write I'm not sure If lush allows you to put in a few swear words in,not like dirty ones,the one the usually hear every day..
I dig the unusual ... I like KARLY
i like unusual spellings of names. it tells a bit about the character's, and the author's personality. the names chosen for characters can be very telling, it's nice to see that so many are thoughtful about it.
regarding 'the laundry list' - ditch it. physical traits is one area where i feel less is more. while reading a good story, i often envision myself as a character and less detail makes it easier to do so.
good luck on your story!
Day Gum...kinda looking forward to reading this book.
For crunchy sweet taste, call her Caramel or Caramelly.... lol
Just one more thing,,can i mention a television show,or actor in my story and the name of the television show?? I dunno if lush will allow that so just double checking.
