Any guesses on the name of the protagonist in my new book coming in Spring of 2026? I've dropped some subtle hints in a few posts.

Based on what I've seen some writers mention, a good placeholder might just require some brackets.

[ProtagonistName] or even [Will] so that the search and replace picks them up.

Unless you're doing sci-fi, in which case those might actually be names.
