Why don't you love me?

Why is it that some stories, the names for character just come to me and in other stories I spend an entire 2 hours just trying to come up with three names? It's so damn frustrating. And when I finally get three names nailed down, I decide I don't like one of the names and have to start over with that one. I use to keep a list of names that struck my fancy (still do... somewhere), but after awhile I started reusing names. That's all fine and dandy as long as I'm writing for me, but people notice when I have four different characters named Rioran.

I just wish these characters would stop being difficult and make with the porn already.

MANGINAS AHOY

Dear authors of m/m romance,

I swear to gourd, I have seen $1.99 romance novel heroines with more balls than your characters. Less flighty and prone to changing their damn minds too. I have said it before, and I'll say it again: YOU DO NOT NEED TO TURN YOUR CHARACTERS INTO WHINY BITCHES IN ORDER TO MAKE THEM INTERESTING.

No love,
Tsaiko
