Skin and Bones

[hrj]

Another thousand words tonight, tucked in between the gym and the housecleaning. I figure I'll have a first draft finished by the end of the weekend, although I do have a handful of names to come up with, plus at least two new sentences in the language of my main character. (This means I have to go back and review the existing vocabulary, grammar, and phonology. One of them only has to be a scrap of a magic spell, and I may have something already that will serve that I haven't used yet. The other one will only need one new vocabulary item, and I know the grammar exists already, I just need to look it up.) But I need four or five new personal names in at least two different languages, and that takes immersing myself in the existing material and a bit of meditation.

But, but.... can't you just make something up?
