Yeah, buying a house is about the location.

So where is your story set?

I have left mine non-descript as of yet. I have a picture in my head but I have not specifically named where it is in the novel.

My story is fantasy so I get to make up my own location...unfortunately I'm one of those deprived souls who are incapable of either drawing a straight line (even with a ruler) or staying in the lines whist coloring.

I"m thinking about calling it either Narnia or Middle Earth.

You just about became a victim in this Paul, but you just don't add up.

OK, I am intrigued, how do you get a name to add up to 8 in numerology.

Mine's set in a general little town; I wanna make it mostly inspecific, because my novel's about an almost common experience.

Well each letter counts as a different number in numerology up to 9 if you end up with a number like 17 you add the one and seven together and you get eight. However you need the numerology formula to do this. Or I have found this year a handy dandy numerology calculator. Last year a fellow on our team did a program and churned out all the English names for me in both male and female. Now with this lovely new calculator i can do first and surnames together or separate. I can also do non English names now.

This is the addy for the calculator.

I'm setting it in the most nondescript city I can. The only thing I know is that it's got several high schools and a large area of wilderness around it, and it's large enough that a character who's lived in one area his entire life can't even tell if he's in the same city when he's kidnapped and taken across town.

Writing in a fantasy world that I've called Esteria. The city where most of the action is taking place is called New Starhome.

Some kind of fantasy world, I haven't really given it a name yet. So far it's taken place in a northern port town, and I've rattled off the names of a few fictional regions, some drama will build up there, and then it would most likely move on to somewhere else. I should probably draw a map. I'm making things up as I go.
