I'm glad I did these two days together. Putting people around my protagonist really got my imagination rolling. I will likely need to make some major changes to my outline now!

One of the name generators helped me find a very strong female name -- Aurora. I love it. Aurora Rojas. I intentionally made my protaganist a bit weak, so she will add some zest and literally keep him alive in the story until the strength of his character emerges.

Thanks for this challenge. I survived last year in my NaNo. Going through a more structured process in prep is definitely going to help.
