: Re: Naming my character I am a beginner, would like to know if I can start a short story calling my main character "he" and then introduce his name later. If so when is a good time to do this?

Thats why editing your own story is important.

In first draft, just introduce the character when you feel it is important. In second draft, however, do re-read your story and decide when the point is right.

And in third draft, decide on the actual name of the character.

Recently, I finished On Writing by Stephen King and since then, I do follow this advice.

When he wrote The Green Mile, the name of main character was changed in late stages, when he decided on significance of the name.
