@jakubcraig: This is a writing tip that’s a little underrated. Remember, there is always a little truth to the silliness. When you’re writing, give your characters the same name. #BookTok#writertok#writing#writer#indieauthor

wait alright I know this is PARTLY satire but this is genuinely a phenomenal writing tip and would make a great characterization exercise. Thank you so much, I'm gonna go write a chapter using only one name.

Kinda weak to have characters in a story. If your protagonist isn't just a dining room chair, you're derivative imo.

additionally, I think authors should write every character as a man and then draw out of a hat which will be women.

i actually think all characters should be unnamed and exclusively referred to with pronouns

Why are naming the characters? What if the reader thinks of a name they like more? You should only ever refer to characters by they or you if they are speaking to each other.
