Silly little things
What gets “in the way” of your writing? What are some little things you find yourself doing or avoiding in stories?
For me, it’s character names. I have a small list of names, mostly from family, that I find I just can’t use in an erotic story for the main characters. For a minor one it might work, but I haven’t tried that yet. But I find I can’t use my kids’ names, my parents’ names, etc. Which makes it interesting when looking for character names. 
I’ve often wondered where you authors come up with the names of your characters. I tease Monocle all the time about some of the bizarre names in his stories.
Mostly I pull mine out of thin air, or a name will lodge in my head for some reason. But if it’s too close to home, out it goes. I also can’t bring myself to use some of the more unusual spellings for names — I recently saw a story about a “Rileigh” and it took me a minute to figure out how to say it. I might do it if there was a point to it, but I guess I’m old fashioned. I keep it simple.
