laden with the weight of an infinite necessity 2

continued from first part

( Since I've never written anyone else's stories, I don't have anyone else's stories to use as examples of how they organized their approaches. Therefore I ask forgiveness in advance for boring you with mine, and I'll skip the obligatory nod to Thoreau at this time. )

ooooooh.

I know a lot of fantasy writers like to make up names for stuff, and ignoring the fact that I could do without ever seeing another apostrophe in a name ever again, I sometimes think, man, but there's all this good stuff already out there that's absolutely wild to native-English speakers. I mean, just the names that already exist are exotic enough! The addresses alone make me just squee.

Tjärhovsgatan 8, Södermalm

Drottninggatan 74, Norrmalm

Gåsgränd 2, Gamla Stan

Riksjarlskap, Österlånggatan 5, Gamla Stan

Södersjukhuset, Södermalm

Skeppsbrokajen, Gamla Stan

Katarinakyrka, Kapellgränd, Södermalm

Nybrokajen 10, Östermalm

[to the Stockholm readers, yes, I'm almost positive there's no Nybrokajen 10, because that would put the address several meters into the Baltic Sea. It'll have to be a joke only ya'll get.]
