A time to buy books, and a time to read them; a time to stack, and a time to pluck up that which is stacked

Comfy copes are best copes, like having a family or eating yummy cookies like >>19991211 said

You can use the pronouns as long as it's clear that that character is who you're talking about or who is speaking. (Although it's nice to sprinkle in when it's not totally necessary, for variety or style purposes). You should always use names when there are multiple people interacting, tho. If Jacoby and Sterling both have guns pointed at eachother and your next sentence is "He shot him.", you need to make it clear who shot who. Either by replacing a pronoun, or by adding some context around the sentence. You can also use nicknames or shortened names, if your characters name can be shortened, and if your style allows for it. But try to give the character that shorter name in world, rather than just you, as the author, calling them by a nick name.
Also, if you want, feel free to ignore everything that I say because I've been "working" on a book for years and it will probably never be finished so my advice, and everything I say, is extraneous
