Help me name a character and win free coffee

I’ve decided that, while I want the novel I’m working on for NaNoWriMo to stay true to the story bouncing around in my head, I also want to try to make it a social experience. I think doing this will help me go slightly less insane while trying to write 50,000 words (minimum) over the course of November.

So here’s my first social media novel contest. Help me name a character in my novel using the description below. After 48 hours, I’ll select my three favorite names and randomly draw one out of hat. I’ll post a video here on the blog of me drawing the name and the person who submitted that name will win a $5 gift certificate to The Java House in Iowa City. (For those of you outside of the Iowa City area, we’ll work something out… the solution will likely involve you picking your favorite coffee shop in your area that will let me purchase a gift card for you over the phone or internet.)

So here’s the description:

The character will be CJ’s best friend in Oklahoma. Think the strongest platonic relationship someone can form with a friend and that’s this guy. The character is male, 6′ 2″, thin build, half hispanic and half Native American. His personality is part stoner, part loner (limited family in the area), part independent wanderer, and all street smart.

So there you have it. Come up with a name that you think best matches the character described above and leave it in the comments below. You have until 9pm Sunday, October 24… so let the fun begin!
