Why a Performance name is the cheapest piece of fiction a writer can buy
Before you commit to a Performance name, run it past these five questions the scribes keep at the long tables, and roll again if the answers do not line up with the tone, the era, and the role you are writing:
- Should the Performance name carry a job, a region, a clan, or a vow?
- Is the Performance name for a character you love, or one you fear?
- Which subgenre, era, or tradition are you actually writing in?
- Will the Performance name appear in dialogue, in narration, or on a map?
- Should the Performance name suggest a weapon, a place, a season, or a virtue?
