What's in a name? Frustration.

Argh!

I'm working on what I'm optimistically thinking of as "The second book of The Demonspawn Chronicles." In this book Our Hero, Malak, is known by another name depending on the situation. And I keep forgetting to change it!

Hmm. Makes it hard to do a Search & Replace to tidy the bugger up, don't it?

Man! That is a toughy. Maybe a taped card to your computer? Use two different colors of index cards, so that when he's Malak, he's blue, and when he's the other name, he's red or some other color. Then if you're doing that scene, swich cards?

Oh, well, you know once you're in rewrite phase, you'll catch that sort of stuff, anyway, no worries!

Hmmm, tricky. I have that in book three when a certain major character becomes a spy. I didn't have as much trouble with the switch of name though.

When you get ready to share, let me know. (Rubs hands together)
