I was entranced by the Legend of Drizzt series, and flew through them from Homeland through Gauntlgrym in about a year. One thing that struck me is how fitting all your characters' names seem to be, whether they're part of the main cast or more of a background player. This is something I've always struggled with when I write; do you have a method for coming up with names that fit?

Haha, it's great to know I'm not the only one. I never thought of using a placeholder like that. Thank you!

Do you grieve for the characters you've killed? How do you make the choice to end their stories? Have you ever felt you said goodbye to a character too soon?
