For example, I came up with high school English teacher, Mr. Bakker. Wrote about him in early scripts, and finally fleshed him out in December 2021. In October 2022, I drafted an episode about his work-relationship and friendship with my male love interest, Peter, but before that, struggled to find a first name for him.
Sometimes, a character's first name comes to me. Sometimes, their last name. Rarely do I get a full name.
Now, for this Pride Month, I finally get to draw Bakker and his husband, Gonzalo. And then struggled to research a last name and possible cultural background for Gonzalo... *sigh*
The creating doesn't end, but hopefully, you'll like the characters I introduced last year and the newer ones this year!
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH.
