Nah, we welcome the extra chattiness, adds something to discuss otherwise the forums get a bit idle/dull.

It’s “Return of the Deadman Chronicles!”

Had a small mini course on touch typing back in high school… remarkably useful TBH. (It was part of a series of mini-courses, honing some basics, like shop skills, intro-drivers-ed, personal finance, etc.)

What? The parole officer would insist on using a tape measure at every encounter… maybe they want repeat business? Applies to the male side to, usually I’ll go with the relative size too… I mean, small/medium/large usually covers what I need to convey, that’s typically more important unless two characters are getting into a hissy fit.

If the characters are nude, the whole question vanishes Typically, I keep it short on descriptions, color (or pattern), the garment, and not usually everything either. However, sometimes when details matter, I’ll mention them more often (ie, canary yellow jeans). Sometimes, you simply don’t bother, the character’s been described enough that you can kinda leave it to the readers imagination too.

Another option is to mask part of it… so it could be “Hermione (Censored) Harry”

Sending hugs your direction, titles can be the bane of authors. (readers should feel lucky it’s not “TBD” all the way through...) More seriously, I’d suggest simply using that “new idea title” temporarily until you figure out what you actually want to do. I typically start with a temporary “working title” until I get a ways into the chapters, when I can refine it later. Maybe the main character’s name, or some other central theme, or a key word/phrase. (ie, for Jefferey, it’s the main character. For Repair Guy, it was a spin on a common trope.)

Maybe getting one character getting the other’s name slightly wrong? Something that’s eerily similar to another’s name?
