Makes it much easier to remember how X character's name was spelled and what their relationship was. I'll include things like looks if I'm worried I'll forget.
Oh God, I never realized what a problem this was until I started writing longer stories with recurring OCs and new place names and realized abruptly that Shaynsar had become Saynshar at some point and other spellings fluctuate...I started to feel a bit sympathetic for Conan Doyle forgetting what Watson's first name was. :P
UGH for having three books done and hung up in "post production"! I hope they get unjammed soon...
MAINE COON CAT IN SPACE! I'm from Maine, and I had for many years an adorable Maine Coon Cat, so I am charmed immediately.
