: 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?

Yes you can start with "he" or "she" if you want to build tension. If you don't want the readers to know the name or who this person is quite yet, you can use "he."

I would also recommend using this as an opportunity to describe the character. "The tall man..." instead of "he."
