Writer's block is the bane of my life. I have the plot, the characters and what I want to say about them, and I sit in front of the computer and can't work out how to say it. Then I feel like a failure . Somehow I only write freely when I have other things I'm supposed to be doing...
I feel lucky that I don't have all your problems with names. I'm not a fantasy writer, so my main characters are currently called Alice, Jonathan, Claire... It's much easier that way (though I did stretch a point and call one character Dorian, in a weak moment )
