[QUOTE="flossye, post: 2062904, member: 741618"] I'm in the EXACT same situation as you are, kinda. I have a general, main plot, it just needs a lot of tweaking & I have to figure a lot of stuff out. I also only had the names of a few of my characters, but yesterday I posted a question on here, and I actually got a great answer & chose a name for one of my main characters! Something that really helped me in picking out character names when they didn't just come to me, (Which actually, they usually do) was writing out a bio for each character, and then brainstorming names. I'd just google & find loads to pick from, or even you could post the bio's on here & get some ideas. Posting it in baby names would be better than in b&a though, imo. You get more answers. As for the plot, that's just something you're going to have to work through on your own, no one can tell you what to write for YOUR story. A good start though would be to have some solid, dynamic characters, who have personality (NOT Mary-Sue's) & then problems will just create themselves between those characters & build onto your plot. If you get stuck, just breath. Don't write for a day or two, or even a week. Writing has to be fun, it can't be a chore & you can't get fed up with it. It's a long process, and if you need a break, don't feel like you can't take one. Good luck. (: [/QUOTE]
