What to name my characters for a novel I am writing?

November 18th, 2009


Okay, I’m writing a murder mystery novel. It’s about this serial murderer who is a hot-dog vendor in NYC. He kills people and uses the meat. (YES I know, it’s gross)
Should I come up with a name for him and use it (like Jeffery Dahmer) or should I come up with a fancy name like what the police came up with for the Vampire Killer or the Zodiac Killer?

Help please! I did come up with main charcter’s name:

Amilyn Nicole Hotchner-Wade, age thirteen

Also give ideas for the name of the killer…I need serious help
Thanks!

What is the best way to build a fantasy world if you are writing a fantasy story/novel?

November 18th, 2009


I have a good story line and everything but I just don’t know how to put a world together. Do you go really outlandish or try to keep it as simple as possible?

Sherrylin Kenyon Word Count?

November 18th, 2009


I’m writing a book for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and I got curious as to how big this book would be once it’s published. I have all the Sherrilyn Kenyon books, so any book word count would be a great comparison, with exception to Acheron. (I have the book, but it’s much bigger than what i’ve written.) Thank you!
