Someone on my friendslist pointed out yesterday that NaNoWriMo is 6 weeks away. Eek!

Now I don't know if anyone else is planning to throw themselves into that madness, but I fancied having a go at it this year - maybe it'll fall apart and I won't manage the 50,000 words, but maybe it won't. ;)

If you're in the UK, have access to the channel Artsworld (channel 267 on Sky), and have yet to catch Slings and Arrows, they're repeating both seasons in their entirety in a 6-episode block from 9pm on Sunday 24th September (season 1) and Sunday 1st October (season 2). If the channel holds true to form, the episodes will also air without an ad break...

It's a beautifully written and performed series about a theatre company and I'd highly recommend it if you like a) Canadian actors, b) Shakespeare, c) Paul Gross, or d) any combination of the first three items in this list.

Oh no, spamming the livejournal...

Anyway, here's the thing: I'm writing a story which has a character who has amnesia (yes, just in time for my cliché panel at connotations!) and I'm writing it in third person kind of from his point of view.

So, character A has amnesia and for a certain reason, he actually thinks he's B. Is it reasonable for me to call him B once he comes to the conclusion that's who he is (even though that conclusion is wrong, he's going to get told it's wrong but initially not believe it and then discover it is wrong), or am I stuck with calling A 'he' all the way through until he finally does get his memory back? Because I can't call him A if he doesn't know he's A, can I?

And does this make any sense at all? No? Fair enough. ;)
