I'm also writing fantasy, but for me that makes it easier. I hate it when I write and the facts don't line up. Which means if I would write about modern day stuff I'd have to agonize over everything and never get any writing done. If I say in my fantasy world a family lives in selfmade man-sized beehives, then that's how it is, and if Pestilence is a town it's got 16,034 people living in it and Decay is exactly 6,962 miles and 3 volcanoes away if I say it is... That's the other side of the medallion, right?

Anyway, good job on getting the name thing down! I'm still working on character descriptions. Tried looking for pictures on google like some suggested, and I have some ideas from that for most of my characters, so that really helped! Except the male hopefully-eventually love interest, but that's probably because I idealized him in my mind and now nothing measures up...
