Continuity, Creativity, and Confusion

Well, major editing must be done.  I have made the same error not once, but twice.  I've used a name that was another character in the first book, and it has confused my proof readers.  Now I must go through the manuscript and change the names of these two characters to avoid confusion!  I didn't even notice, but that's why I have people read for me.  I just hope that I can develop names that maintain a flow and dynamic that prevents interruption of the story.

I also hope that I can find all the occurrences of the name, so I don't have an errand reference to a departed character in my new manuscript!
