I think I'll be a bad mother.
I've never been all that good at coming up with fitting or fluid names. Half the time, they're cliches and the other half, they're just plain stupid. That's a major problem with my writing, I find. Because, other authors have this amazing way with names that I could never. Meriadoc Brandybuck or Peregrin Took (the Lord of the Rings) or Hermione Granger (Harry Potter) or Jace Wayland (The Mortal Instruments). All of them are beautiful or original or just fun to say.
I've never master that technique, but I really hope to. I've been checking out different books on and histories of names at second hand book stores and I plan on buying a couple when I have enough money. I just feel like my names are never good enough. I think that's the only thing I'm self conscious about in my writing.
