This weekend I’m at a Creative Writing Retreat. I haven’t tried writing fiction since I was at school, and it’s very different from what I usually write (blogs, newsletters, and ceremonies). We were encouraged to think about something we know, then move sideways to look at it from a different angle.
As I started to create a character I remembered that some famous authors sell the names of characters in their books. I need a name for my character. Any offers? Perhaps I could run an auction? On TradeMe?
“I wonder if it’s worth a try.
Would any reader like to buy?”
Would you prefer a random name generator ? http://www.behindthename.com/random/ 😉

Now that’s a cunning idea – thank you. The first time i tried I got Parnel, which didn’t appeal. The second one generated was Julie, not far from the Judith I’d already decided on.
