Mr. Cornwell
I have been trying to write my own book for sometime now (more like a few months) and one problem I have been having is that I cannot come up with the names of the characters I want to portray. I have been through your writing advice page several times, it serves as a motivator when I feel like my writing is pathetic, the advice is quite good, but it does not give advice on how to pick names for the characters in a story. So I’ll ask you. How did you pick the fictional characters in your books? Did you pick traditional names of the time period? Or are they people you have met in your life? Any advice at all would be much appreciated.
