Strange Things And Habits You Do While Writing
Desiderius Price replied to Tcr's topic in Writers' Corner
Yep, even though a fair chunk (at least half) are background characters so they don’t enter the stories themselves, it’s still a challenge. -

That’d be cool outside!

It’s snowing here. The corgi is enchanted, and has rolled, frolicked, and eaten snow until she was giddy.

Cats wanted in...out...in...out...in...out… before I decided they’ve had enough outdoor time.

Strange Things And Habits You Do While Writing

Within a story, I try to do the same too, renaming characters or giving them nicknames if I have to. At over 2k characters in my universe, it can be tough at times. -

Nice and warm, there’s now a thermostatic valve on the hot so I don’t accidentally scald myself.

Well, one nice thing is that I cleaned the bathroom sink before they arrived (it was in need of it)

Strange Things And Habits You Do While Writing
Desiderius Price replied to Tcr's topic in Writers' Corner
It did fit under the “strange thing” but I find it useful for avoiding a story where every sentence starts with “the”...because a bit tiresome/boring to me if it does. Another thing I try to do is to balance my character names a bit. Tough to do in those parts of the universe where the names are already well engrained, but I do try to do it elsewhere. For instance, I have Jaimie, Joe, Josephine, Jade, Jarred, Jefferey, Joey ...etc, I noticed that I was getting a lot of “J’s” so I’ll now try to balance out the letters in a story. (However, I can’t change the well established names, so those remain.) -

One rule I follow is to never start a story with the word “The”, and I’ve extended to try to be a solid choice too, either a sound, or a more concrete, tangible thing. [And this rule came from a teacher of mine, who pushed us to not start a sentence with the word “the”… something I normally manage (though, on occasion, a “the” will slip to the start of a sentence)] -
