Hey guys! How is everyone doing this fine first Friday of summer? Personally, it feels a little too cool outside to be summer, but hey. July has yet to make an appearance, so we'll see how that goes.


Things on the writing spectrum are a tad . . . interesting. 😂 It feels like I have editing coming out of my ears at this point and I am so ready to get done and WRITE!


And what shall I be writing? Hehe, glad you asked. This July I plan to focus on a story you may have heard about—PROJECT: Black Rose. 🖤🌹 It's a medieval/Viking style novella with themes of found family, deep friendships, and dark winter forest feels, and I hope to publish in an upcoming collection a friend is putting on. And . . . it's high past time I touched it seriously.


Which is all fine and dandy, except it needs a lot of work. So that's where you come in! *smiles innocently*


No, wait, hear me out. Hang on, get back here!! *Drags you back* I want your help picking out names for my characters!


Yes, you read that right. 😁 I'm looking for names! Boys' and girls' both, and I need plenty of 'em. Here's what you need to know to get those gears of your started:


  1. This is a medieval/Viking style novella

  2. I would like to incorporate some names with an Irish/Celtic feel

  3. I need many names, both boy and girl, so if you have tons of them, I will gladly accept them all


And, because I'm a very visual person myself, here's the overall aesthetic of the novella (you're welcome 😉):



I can't wait to see what names y'all come up with!


Do you like naming characters? What's your favorite name you've ever given a character? What do you think I should name my characters in PROJECT: Black Rose?


Catch ya on the flip side!

Auren, boy. Amena, girl. Cedric, boy (love this one!!). Danu, girl. Gavin, boy. Imogen, girl (this one is so nice too!). Snagged all these from a name site. :) Maybe one of them will resonate!
