Summary
The woman’s head hadn’t felt right for a while now. She’d woken up being nursed back to health by an injured unicorn that she only vaguely remembered wasn’t her own companion.
After a while she’d wandered off to the river to get some water and hadn’t been able to find her way back. Her head hurt terribly and she couldn’t quite remember her name.
“What are you doing out here?” a deep, warm voice asked.
She looked up to see a long golden snout closely fittend with scales.
it was a dragon, towering over her but looking at her with a kindly expression.
“I don’t really know why I’m out here…” the woman said, rubbing her head, which felt wrong somehow.
“You’ve taken a bad injury to the head. Here, I’ll get you something to eat.” the dragon said.
“Right.” she said.
As the dragon clawed some fish up from a nearby river, she tried to remember her name.
“That’s it! I remember who I am.” she said, smiling excitedly at the dragon.
“I’m Tiredlily!”

TBH on my pantsing, I don’t even have a name for the guy. I keep putting a “?” where his name out to be. LOL. My girl is simply Beth.

I love me some slightly ridiculous longer names
oh geez
My main characters are Athilis, Pearlgrass, Brett, and Rosella. So mostly slightly less ridiculous than waterhyacinth, but not one syllable names like some of my stories have, either.

since my goal here is to write an as good story as possible, and hopefully not have to majorly edit. I also fix typos that google docs points out. I do phrase some things wrong and not worry about it, though.

Wow, to each their own for sure then 
I don’t mind to much about the edits. I whip everything through grammarly before posting on WP. I never give WP better than my first (rough) draft as ultimately these’ll be published with our without their help.

I don’t want to edit a lot either but I know the first draft is always just the author telling themselves the story

ahh… I’m the sort of writer who can never preplan stories or edit them, and usually can’t write super long stories, but that still puts me ahead of many writers, because I can finish stuff! it’s fun.

I always consider the first draft the vomit copy. Literally chucking out words

my first drafts are just… the story I have so little patience, once that’s done I don’t want to look at the story again.
