[stylist] OK I think The name challenge has been fixed

[Miss Thea]

    Hi, Shelley.
I find the job of naming characters and places quite fascinating as well.
I don't usually know anyone by the names I pick, but the sound of a name 
creates its own sensory picture: youthful, or old; pretty or ugly; handsome 
and exotic, or plain jane and strong; etc.
Oh, and speaking of dreams, I sometimes get a name from a dream.
Plus, I listen to the end credits of audio described movies to see if any 
name is unusual or grabs me for some other reason.
Thea

Ha ha no just confusing email. I save the creative names for the characters 
are my novels. :-) I never thought of naming any of my character is my 
middle name that's it interesting idea I should do that. I have plenty of 
characters to name so I am sure that will come up sometime. In the meantime 
will use my real first name. :-) I like names. You can take one name and 
have several mental images because you might know someone with the same 
first name. Or at least the same identifying name. I think that is probably 
one of the most fascinating things about the human mind is that you can take 
my name and get several different pictures depending on the people that you 
know. Just from the queen of Bells have a great writing day and keep 
dreaming :-)
