"Camille" is a perfect name to create a romantic atmosphere, but can she really — in a clinch — whisper "Bean Dip" without the slightest hint of a giggle? This guy had better been something really special to live down that moniker.<br /><br />On a more serious note, what's in a name? Choosing character names can be a fun challenge. However, it's good to remember that those designations often set the tone of the story.<br /><br />What a fun post!Linda Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06686488133905538811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-45241408528793652172011-10-05T20:49:12.552-06:002011-10-05T20:49:12.552-06:00LD, Pearls Before Swine is one of my favorite stri...LD, Pearls Before Swine is one of my favorite strips.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-77630520575760650062011-10-05T14:11:09.789-06:002011-10-05T14:11:09.789-06:00Gotta love Pearls Before Swine.Gotta love Pearls Before Swine.LD Mastersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01202135756299574972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-5730237294685085832011-10-05T13:19:49.090-06:002011-10-05T13:19:49.090-06:00Glad everyone has enjoyed the funnies today.

A quote from Jerome Stern, in MAKING SHAPELY FICTION, comes to mind:<br /><br />"The closer and closer you get to the ending the more weight each word has, so that by the time you get to the last several words each carries an enormous meaning. A single gesture or image at the end can outweigh all that has gone before.”Kathryn Crafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371458857187160425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-43594240644865665392011-10-05T08:52:02.270-06:002011-10-05T08:52:02.270-06:00Stop!
