: Re: What should I do when I am stuck on names during freewriting? If I get hung up choosing a name for a character, should I come back to it later? Or should I try to figure one out? I feel

An issue I occasionally encounter in my DnD games is naming NPCs... Typically I have to consider race and region, but for when I'm writing (usually short stories and aborted epics, lol) I tend to drop in the first name that comes to mind with a vowel tacked to the end, and when I proofread I make sure I'm not duplicating a name. If not, I drop the vowel, if I am, I take time to consider something else then. Saves my momentum for the actual writing.
