You’re welcome, Heather! 🙂 It’s easy to forget sensory details; I do it, too. But they really do help a literary setting / world seem more believable.

Those are not included in screenplays and therefore have been trained out of me. Thanks for the great reminder!

“it seems like the writer drew names out of a hat”
Probably because they did.

Thanks, Elizabeth! 🙂

Yeah, inconsistent naming has been a pet peeve of mine. There have been some fantasy novels where it seems like the writer drew names out of a hat, and people who lived in a particularly region didn’t always have names that reflected their culture. So I thought it would be important to list naming conventions here.

I need to include more sensory in my writing. I find consistent naming a very interesting one, especially the way Tolkien uses it, and is something I should work on.
