Now We Need a Man’s Name
Thank you to everyone who suggested awesome names on the last post. Now I’ve got the second question for you: favorite male name with medieval flair. Bonus points for Scandinavian origin. 🙂 Your help is much appreciated.
Hugh, Chapter 1 Part 2
The void gnawed at him, the big raw hole where Roland’s presence used to be. It hurt. Hugh grit his teeth and forced himself to concentrate on the head on the table in front of him. “When?” he asked. “Six days ago,” Stoyan said. “He was out. He’d quit after you were forced out. He

Need Pretty Name
Stuck on a picking a pretty female name, preferably of French origin. Need to be able to have a shorter version, if it’s too long, because we are lazy, so something like Constance won’t work, because the only way to shorten it is Connie, and that’s a bit more modern than we need. Connie is

On the Job of Writing, the Oddness Of.
This is what it’s like. The last 24 hours or so, most of it today. This post is meant for entertainment purposes only, and attempts to get into political fights will be squashed. Me: Hi, Grace? Grace: Yes? Me: Hey, so we’re having a slow moving chase down I-10 with a magical tiger. I know

Houston People
Dear Houstonites, Do any of these roads have fun colloquial names? Addicks Satsuma Road, Barker Cypress Road, Greenhouse Road, North Fry Road, North Westgreen Road, and North Mason? The car chase is going along I-10 heading West and we need to make sure that we don’t say something like, “They crossed 99” and then get
