I am a writer, and one of my favorite things about the way I write is character development... most of my stories are based on a character who springs to life (in my head, thanks, lol) and demands to have his/her/its story told. I had one character who seems to be based fairly heavily on myself. Her story has not been written yet, but her character is fully developed. Her name is even based on my given name, her first name is a "gaelicized" sort of sound-alike version of my first name, and her last name is the old Scots gaelic of my family name. The only difference is that her name is female, and my first name is masculine (Brandon). (I am a woman whose mother has a nasty sense of humor).
Anyway, I've been using her name as my own for some time.... it seems right, and it feels right, so maybe that's all her story was about anyway, lol.
