I need your help!

Download wordart here

NaNoWriMo is sponsoring a summer bootcamp version of the November novel writing contest and I just have to try and do this again!

The story idea I have rolling through my mind now isn't a happy one though, so my final project will probably be very different from The Day Ginger Snapped.

Kind of crazy, huh? You would think that I would have a happy light idea since it's summer and I'm not nearly as busy as I am in November.

Anyway, here's how I need your help....for the last project I used my name and the names of my friends for the characters. Now, I would like for you to give me some names for characters. I'll need guy names as well as girl names.

First names...last names...both...nicknames...names for nice characters and names for not so nice characters...your name...the name of someone you know...a funny name or just a name you like.

I can't start writing until July 1, but I can start getting my characters and ideas in order.

You can leave name suggestions here in the comment area or you can email them to me.

Thanks for the help!

“Oh honey, are you sure you’re Okay?” Linda asked.

“Yeah, I’m fine. I guess I’m just starting to get homesick.” I explained as I fought back tears.

“Well, then just come home! I miss you so much. Everyone does. Come home.” Linda pleaded.

“I can’t. I mean I will. Soon. I just have to figure out a couple more things first.”

“What should I tell everyone when they ask about you at the bar today?”

“Just tell them that I’m fine and that I had to call early because I’ve got another plane to catch.”

“What about the last guy you went looking for? Did you find him?”

Luckily Linda didn’t’ hear the gasp I gave as I remembered Ryan and the night I spent at his home. “I found him.”

“Okay…and? Give me the details already!”

“No details this time. I found him and I think his tally mark goes on the loser side of the board..”

“Oh goodie, you found another loser!” Linda yelled excitedly. “You have to tell me the story, though. You know everyone is going to want to hear it.”

“Linda, please, just this one time. No details.”

Linda was quiet for a moment waiting for me to say more. “Ginger, are you sure you’re Okay? Please, talk to me.”

“I’m tired. I’m just tired. He gets a loser tally mark and everyone gets a free drink. That should be enough information to keep them all happy.”

“You’re probably right, people will be happy about the free drink. But, you know that some of us would rather have you here then have a free drink. You do know that, don’t you.”

“I know. Give everyone a hug for me. Talk to you soon.”

I hung up the phone before Linda could hear my crying.
