We all have it that moment when writing where something just fits, or you find the perfect name for something that singular moment when everything comes together.

For me my latest one was when I was doing outlining for a book idea and I was looking for the name for my fictional city that I described as 'Las Vegas by the coast' after about two hours and a couple hundred rejected names and a few possibles the perfect one hit me, after that everything else about the city just fell into place.

So tell me what was your latest Eureka moment?

Wondering about one of the coolest ways to hide a traditional "cross-roads" or "faustian" demon in plain sight in the City. Settled on golden-statue street performer. It reads a lot better than it sounds :D.

I love Faustian and Crossroads demons, I was (embarrassingly) introduced to the crossroads demon via supernatural and have since done a lot of reading surrounding the lore of them.

the neurovore of Zur-En-Aargh:
Most of mine tend to be structural; realising that the operation my protagonist co-runs with the marines in chapter 9 can be used to introduce a couple of characters I thought she would not get to meet until the formal launch of the expedition in chapter 11, so I can restructure the plan for chapter 10 and 11 and I think they will flow more smoothly now is the most recent one of any substance.  Also, I think I have seen how to do a frame story for this one if I decide I want to, which I am not yet sure about and probably won't be until I have written the whole thing linearly.

Mine was a week or so ago, when I finally got all my antagonists' motivations in The Sequel worked out to my satisfaction.
