NaNo Day 1: 4,203 — 2 Comments

  1. Great start, and great plan! Go!

    Yes, I think I would change the name. Even going from Danny to Daniel or Dickie to Rick or Richard would work.

    • Danny was sixteen when he married his fifteen year old pregnant bride (I believe, under protest). They named their first two children (one arrived each year for the first four years of their ten year marriage) Dickie and Janie. I suspect as a play on the Fun With Dick and Jane series from elementary school readers. Daniel, Jr., the third to arrive was followed by Ronnie (a girl) named after her mother (Rhonda). So, in my mind, Danny had to become something different, and Daniel, Jr. will change accordingly. I will probably go with it as is and do a Global Find and Replace when I’m done with the first draft.
