Images, make my story come to life!

They inspire me, they help me see my characters, where they go, what kind of trouble they get into, and sets the mood of the story. That’s why most of the images are dark and moody…with a little touch of color here and there. Just like my story!

Images are such a useful tool for me, especially since I’m an artist/designer/potter/photographer and writer. They help me design my story world. I can visualize my story in my mind, but seeing images related to my story takes it a step further!

That’s why I make these inspiration boards.

Vintage Girl Names from 1900 – 1909

I’m doing a blog series on character names.

I’d like to have a list of names at my fingers tips, and not have to surf the internet every time I need a name for one of my characters. This way, I’ll have instant access to names anytime I want, and so will you. I’ve made the list of names Pinterest friendly, so you can save them to one of your Pinterest boards.

Here’s a list of the most popular names for female babies born during 1900 – 1909, according to http://www.ssa.gov ~ The Official Social Security Website.

The names were taken from 3,106,369 female births.

How cute are these vintage photos!

Thanks for stopping by!

They inspire me, they help me see my characters, see where they live, where they go and sets the mood of the story. That’s why most of the images are dark and moody…with a little touch of color here and there.
