[stylist] Character name changes

[Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter]

Eve,

I'm more like you. But I also tend to visualize my characters and stories
before writing. I mean, I will spend hours or days visualizing in my head,
creating scenes out in my head, so by the time I sit down to actually write,
a lot of character and plot stuff has been worked through in my head.

I don't. The name comes first and the character comes to life from that
name. Maybe I am weird, but I never had  changed a name once I had it down.
I am trying very hard to think on this and do not even think I have ever
changed appearance or personality either once the character has come to
life. Even if they are never described, as with some, I have everything
about them down to every last detail in my mind and it stays.
Okay, so am I totally OCD?
