#WritersCoffeeClub 9/30 : Dumb things people say when they hear you're a writer? This is more from people who read my book or attempted to. The chief complaint is "I liked it, but I couldn't get past all those crazy names!" I know, I know, some people have difficulty with names, but c'mon people! These are 6th century Welsh characters! Did you want me to call the book "Tom, boss of songs, against King Kyle of Wales-ville?" I GAVE you all a pronunciation guide!!
@091f4e87 I read those guides; I find them interesting. I then go with the closest sounding name for what it looks like, but if you ask, I'll deny it.
@091f4e87 Ha! Whenever I introduce myself, about 50% of people respond, “Robin?” How they all get Robin from Branwen is beyond me, but it’s funny that it’s another bird name.😊
