I really adore this article — Name Paralysis. It’s about an annoying distraction that doesn’t really make sense. Although it’s targeted toward software development, it has a lot in common with writing. I often get caught up in “Name Paralysis” myself : titles for chapters, names for characters, fictional places, etc. One spends so much time with thinking up names that it’s often “paralyzing” for productivity.
Anyway, cool article and a good read for writers.
