I've built the spine of "The Unintended Mongrel," and I'm working on fleshing out the story as much as possible in anticipation of my Nov. 1 start date for writing. Add some ribs, a tail, a wet nose. I also need to develop character names. That has been a sticking point for me for writing before, as I want the names to mean something. I've been happily writing along and gotten to a point where I realize I don't have a name for a character, and it stops the flow. So, I want to get the names out of the way before I start writing. I plan to come up with names for the main characters and a list of possible names for other characters that pop up along the way, in the process of writing.
