I've probably spent hours this week googling names - I can never just pick names that I know or look at my books and put random names together. I have to research names and their meanings and try to get them to relate to my story. Same with titles - I find myself googling so much random sh*t because it takes me days sometimes to find something that works for me.

Does anybody else spend far too long googling character names and titles? Just me?!

I built a giant puppet once. His name is Fezzig, and he stands over 9 feet tall when completely put together. His head hangs in one of my closets. Alas, not the world's largest. And I definitely need to read your story.

Not a puppet but when I helped with props for a theatre group I had to make a life-sized doll called Mr Spinalzo for a (deceased) character in a production of 'Arsenic and Old Lace'. He sat in a corner of the props room for ages afterwards scaring people who didn't know he was there.

Not participating in the short story competition but in the MF250 I did quite a lot of googling about cadaver dogs. Like how deep and how long after death they can find a body.
