Another quick point. Sometimes while I'm writing I need to mention a minor character. Rather than breaking the flow of my writing to try and manufacturer just the right name, I just use a place holder. For example: Harold ran into [Name] and [Other Name] on the way out of the office. [Name] ignored him, as always, but [Other Name] told him not to loose hope and that they were all cheering for him. Then later on I just search for the square bracket and then work on the names. I think it's important not to break flow when things are going well. jon
