I stared at the empty page. "I can do this," I thought to myself. I've been creating this story for a while now, I did a short 50 page summary a month ago, and now I needed to extend it for my readers on wattpad. For that I needed a new character to introduce to my book.

As usual, I put on my earbuds and heard Imagine Dragons Demons blasting in my ears. I create my characters by listening to random songs and converting that song beat into a personality. That way the personalities are completely random and I don't subconsciously base the character's personalities on people that I know. I remembered my reader's comments on my book, and realized that they expected a lot from me. My fingers trembled as I tried to write, but something was holding me back. Something, but what? I got everything I needed, he was going to be a tiefling wizard who was from a foreign land so he wasn't very fluent in english, but even though I knew what I was going to write, my hand wasn't moving.

I then realized what was holding me back, I couldn't decide on a name for the new character that I was introducing. A usual brick wall that I run straight into, and what do I do with brick walls? I call Taran to come and knock it down for me. Taran Matharu was a British published author that I have been texting for a while now. "How do you come up with names for your characters," I typed, "It shouldn't be so hard but it is.". It took five seconds for Taran to reply, "Don't laugh, but the answer is very simple, baby naming websites.". My life flashed by my eyes as I heard Carl Azuz's voice on tomorrow's CNN 10 headlines: Boy, 13 Found Dead in His Bedroom With His Mind Blown. After I recovered from my short period of shock, I clicked new tab and googled baby naming websites. "Aaron," I whispered to myself as I saw the first result come up, and just like that a hero was born.
