writers.
June 6 question – What’s harder for you to come up with, book
titles or character names?
Actually both book titles and character
names are easy for me. Infact the moment a story pops up in my mind, it arrives
accompanied with its title and the names of the central characters. Very rare
do I have trouble thinking of book/story titles or character names. I’m lucky
that way. Wish the plotting too was so easy!
I look forward to reading what comes easy for you all.
You are lucky that way! And very organized.
ReplyDeleteSo lucky! Good for you! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is lucky! I usually land on titles much quicker than characters' names.
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed. I admit that some books I've written the title jumps out at me. Other times I've struggled for months!
ReplyDeleteYou really are lucky! Sometimes I could be half-way through with a story before I get the title. Other times, I get the title before I even begin.
ReplyDeleteI usually get titles right away too, but that doesn't mean they're very good. A few are. Most are a work in progress.
ReplyDeleteYes, you're very lucky. Next time I buy a lotto ticket I'll be asking for some of that luck. ;-)

It's great that your book titles and character names come to you easily. Leaves you lots of time to write the story without wondering what to call your characters.
ReplyDeleteThat's how it works for me, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat, easy? Lol:) You are very luck then, Rachna;)
ReplyDeleteWow! You are lucky. Not me. My new manuscript has the title of New Story for now.
ReplyDeleteKind of makes me want to cry... :P
ReplyDeleteGood for you - hoping some of your magic rubs off!
Plot? What's that? Lol.
ReplyDeleteWell done on being a teeny weeny bit organised!
ReplyDeleteI love working short stories then expanding into something bigger. Large portions of my Breakthrough trilogy are short stories I tweaked and put in.
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky that the "whole package" comes to you all neatly wrapped!
ReplyDeleteI read an interesting IWSG post where the author said she researches geography and culture before settling on a name. Another IWSG participant said that a name needs to also be decade-appropriate, which makes sense if one actually wants to find the best possible name for the character.
For me? I like the ‘sound’ of a name. But as wonderful as a name ‘sounds’, the aural appeal should ideally be secondary to the appropriateness of the name.
