Neat things: Doggy dreams. Bella has a last name.

Characters are starting to take shape, in my head if not on the screen.

Also, in a surprising development, I can totally take my laptop to the coffee shop and still get some writing done.

It occurs to me that I probably can't call the main character Bella if I expect anyone to take this seriously. Even if she is a hard-drinking Southern mechanic / clockworker instead of a teenaged vampire groupie. Curse you, Stephenie Meyer.

I do some of my best work in coffee shops. Sometimes I get too easily distracted at home, and end up on facbeook or reading archived advice columns or somesuch way too much.

Actually, I thought of Bellatrix Lestrange at first.

I thought of Fred's cat, Bella, actually :)

I get some of my best writing done at either Panera or Chipotle of all places. There are fewer distractions like cats or other work and so I can write 'til I'm done.

As for Bella, I fear you might be right. That name might be off limits for a while, not unlike Hermione.
