A curse revolving names and memories?

She can still harm other people without the influence of the curse.

Not necessarily. But if it’s inheritable, a son would do? Me going too deep is not really the point, though.

Interesting. In what way could that work.

How could she harm people?

With every person she meets, she forgets them?

Don’t know if I want to make her a mother though.

Gah! I am still unsure of who she should be!

She could meet the same person multiple times in different circumstances. Imagine meeting your childhood friend again and she tries to kill you.

Ooh! That sounds like a cool idea!

Because there are chances that she’ll meet the same people who she had some affect on without realizing.

I think it sounds pretty interesting! You might want to consider a notebook to keep track of the names, when she has them, and who they were originally from

That’s a thought. Thank you.

Update: I’ve decided to remove this aspect of the story. I felt that every time she meets someone new (or old) she gains a brand new name. The curse doesn’t allow that to happen and that would be way too much each time. So, her name shall be Nemona until she remembers her true name.

I wanted to share that with you all.

I wanted to say, this reminds me of the woman in Japan with a 7 second memory. She forgets instantly, so she’s always writing in a notebook. Constantly writing everything. She got this condition in her thirties, and doesn’t remember her childhood. She keeps all photos and has to ask her mother when they were taken and what she was doing. She write this all down. She has a LOT of notebooks.

–Later…

Yes! I found the doc in English! Woman with 7 second memory. You should check it out. Might give some inspiration?

Look, simplify for 1st drafts, THEN add complexity on the edits, is how I try to write.

Try.

Fail.

But try.
