marycatelliWas plugging along on a story.
Knew there was a character, a servant, who knew about a cursed prince. Needed him as a plot device to keep the prince alive, and also he gave me a way to keep the prince busy. Made him a big solid guy, a huntsman.
So writing along on the outline and realized that I had to name this servant. I dug up a name, decided it looked good, and if it's a diminutive, it's ironic he has it.
Put it down on the character list. Character started to wonder whether he could be a lean and wiry huntsman instead.
Ah, the game of names.
