And in other news

I hate being a girl.

Also, for those of you that did NaNo...did you pull names out of your asses for the characters and/or place names? If you did, did you change or keep them once NaNo was over and you were writing/editing to make the story something worthy of the sight of others? Inquiring minds and all that (yes, I'm still working on it, although with as distracting as being around my family is, I haven't gotten far....but I'll still have 5 days more of vacation once I get home...).

You would have laughed had you seen my desktop two months ago. As I came up with character and place names, I would put them on yellow post it notes and place them on my desk. I combined real place names, stole locations from the Bible and juggled the letters, and even used the thesarus in a few places.

I do intend on changing a few names, though. Some of them sit a bit uneasily on me.

*nods nods* The character names I'm pretty happy with (even though I stole one of them from another character....oops). The place names though? Yeah. Um...you can definitely tell they were pulled from the nether regions of my arse brain...
