Hi - I'm trying to push forward toward my goal of writing a novel. I've found that if I think too much I get bogged down and so I try to just writewritewrite and tell myself that I can always go back later (maybe much later) and fiddle with the words and ideas. The story that I am working on at the moment happens in another (fantasy) universe. One of the things that I get stuck on is naming people/places/things. I've found it to be very difficult to move beyond a certain point without naming people, places, etc. I've taken to using internet dictionaries of various languages. While this is a slow process I generally feel OK about it. If anyone has any tips about this specific problem I'd appreciate any feedback. Otherwise, I hope to be around this neighborhood and making some small contributions where I am able. Thanks, K

Hello Kizmet, Welcome to the Writing Forums. If you haven't explored the site yet, You should probably do so soon. Newcomers often gravitate to the Lounge, the Word Games, or the Review Room, but there is much more to be discovered if you poke in the corners. In regards to your question about names, keep in mind that the names you use when you are writing the story can be changed up until you offer it up to publication. Global search and replace can serve you well! Also, keep a document containing names and important facts about your characters. In addition to helping you keep track of all the details that accumulate, you can also see the names grouped together, so you can spot names that look silly or too similar together. Enjoy your stay here, and have fun!
