I’m working on the Urban Fantasy, and I need to name a strip club in Virginia. I was feeling uncreative — all I came up with was Pussycats — so I “did the Google” in the words of the moron, and ran through an assortment of names of clubs from various cities. Some were amazingly clever.
I didn’t want to use a real place so I combined a couple of them and came up with Hot Laps. I swear if the NSA is data mining my computer they are going to be really baffled with my internet habits. Everything from WWII death camp commanders to funny/cute animal videos to foreign words and names to the classes of nobility, and of course, my news outlets.
Bottom line — I love my job.
