I have a hardened character with a pointy personality,and her name is Shar.

Another thing I do is take a word and write it backwards, then add or subtract letters till it sounds nice.

@Jess Isn’t that weird? When one is writing of one’s own accord, it’s great, but the moment one has to write something, it no longer works.
