May 7th, 8:00pm – Working on a story. My protagonist turns killer when his name is mispronounced. Yep. That’s different. Thinking what else I can do with this character.
I just realized, this is my world. I can write anything…

Oh boy….this should be good. Lord knows I have mangled a few names in my lifetime.

You named him after the cheetah???? That is way beyond awesome. Don’t feel bad having him kill,Darnell,the cheetah has 2 mice kills and a raccoon kill under his paws.

If a mispronounced name is all it takes I’d have killed several people by now 😉
It’s so freeing to think you have full control over your protagonist, who he is, what he does, where the story goes… Go wild!

This sounds great, is he going to end up a serial killer? Mild mannered and easy going, until he hears that same mistake again, then he starts to twitch…

He’s a tattoo artist that loses it if you say his name incorrectly, or if you abbreviate it. Have no worry, unless…😵

Hmm a tattooist who loses his temper easily, that’s a situation fraught with trouble!

LOL! That’s entirely plausible behavior on the part of your protagonist! I love my French surname, but I’m fed up with the nearly sixty years of mispronunciation I’ve had to put up with! Go with it! 😀
