Busy day today, so I’m just doing some editing.

One of my pet peeves (keep in mind, I’m quite bad with names) is when characters are given really similar names. You know, “Elaine” and “Ellen”—like, there are thousands upon thousands of names out there, and this is what you do?

I always try to guard against that in my own work, but what I realized was that I had two characters whose names didn’t sound the same, but they looked similar written down. It’s more of a deal in book two, because one of the characters is much more prominent here than in book one.

So I took care of that—again, there are thousands upon thousands of names out there….
