a good sign that you have spent too much time writing today

I wanted to name a character “Cabel,” but I couldn’t tell if that was a name or not, so I spent like ten minutes looking it up on facebook, trying to figure out if real people in the world were actually named “Cabel” or whether I had just conflated “Cain” and “Abel” or what.

Then it just occurred to me that the name I was actually thinking of was “Caleb.” Since that actually IS a real name.

Whoops.
