I found him - at last!

Hi, dear readers! Here I am again.
I finally know, how one of my characters looks like. Let's see what my readers say.
Now to look for his ex-wife. Not an easy thing either, but I know I'll find her.

50 candidates, and not a single match

Hi, dear readers! Here I am again.
I have tried to find an actor for a character of mine. I have been through 50 candidates. None of them has been The One. Oh well. I must keep looking. I am sure I will find him yet.

Finally!

Hi, dear readers! Here I am again.
One character of mine has found her husband! There were some good candidates, but not one of them was the one. The most promising one turned out to be a son of another family, so I had to change his name as well. But now it seems the character has found her husband. I'm happy about that. Maybe now I can start thinking about my next step.

One family's name seems to be wrong

Hi, dear readers! Here I am again.
It seems one family of my characters have a wrong surname. As soon as I changed it from Adamson to Crane, a voice said in my head: "Be careful with my sister."
I asked in my mind: "Why?" The answer was: "She's greedy." But greedy for what? That I don't know yet.

Oh no! Crane's family is falling apart! The surname doesn't fit one certain woman,and she was in very important role in one branch of the family. And if she doesn't fit, the whole chain will fall apart! I must find some solution fast! I hope I'm able to keep the Boyce sisters as sisters, but who knows. Only time will tell.

Oh! Now it seems he's a Turner after all! I wondered for a long time, who on earth could be Andrew's father. Now it seems I know it. It's Simon Turner, of course. But Simon's wife...I wonder if she's woman A or woman B. It's best that I calculate a little, be it I may have an idea who she could be. But the letters may surprise me, not to mention math.

The battle keeps going

Hi, dear readers! Here I am again.
I have managed to name almost all my characters. Finding their faces has been harder, but I am pretty sure when I find the right method I will find the faces for the characters as well. The method for naming has become clearer and names have been found better. Editing feels easier. I'm sure the stories make progress when the time is right.

Battle continues

Hi, dear readers! Here I am again.
I have fought with my characters and their names and families for quite some time now. The knot is getting open, but it takes a lot of time before everything has been solved. Let's hope all goes well, even some threads have been found already.

The name battle continues

Hi, dear readers! Here I am again.
I am still battling with my story and the names of my characters, but I refuse to believe I'd never tame this. If I go with "stitch by stitch, row by row" - principle, all should go fine. One character at a time, and all should go well. The story keeps developing in my head, but at times it gets stuck and the only way to unstuck it is to write the stuck point on screen. I may get to move on, or then not.

Pondering about characters

Hi, dear readers! Here I am again.
I've been thinking and doing some research. I have found out, that the name Martin (Martin is April's new husband-to-be in my story) is among 100 most popular names in 1935. It is a good start, I don't even try to deny it. Right now I just don't know, if the surname should be Alder or Alden. I know Martin's year of birth and his first name, and that's a good start. But I know I need a bit more information about him yet. I think I'd better go back to my researching, that I know, what is really going on with him.
Now I've gone through the 100 most popular male names of 1935. I've discovered something quite interesting. The only suitable middle names in that year were Melvin and Jimmie. So this Martin is either Martin Melvin or Martin Jimmie. It may help me to find his exact date of birth, or then not. I don't know. But I let the time tell me, how it goes.
All right, here I am again. I found many, many names, that would fit with the first name April. Now it's all about finding the right person and right combination. This has been a hard battle, but I'm not giving up now. I'm getting pretty close to the solution of this mystery.

Long time, no see

Hi, dear readers! Here I am again. Long time, no see. But as you can see, I'm here now.
I've worked my hardest to get the names of my characters just right. It took years, but now I have developed a system, that seems to work, and it works quite well, if I dare to say so myself.
I've battled with one couple recently. The husband's name is George, and the wife should be April, or at least one of her first names is April. I've believed April would have been born in 1945. Now I must correct my view. Why? Because the name April is not on the list! That means I may have to make her a bit older or younger, but not too young to have a child.
I've found out, that Martin Alden, the man the older April marries in my story, is from Florida and he has been born in 1935. So when was April born? It seems, that my researching points to the year 1940, which in turn means April and George tie the knot in 1958, when April is 18 years old.
Of course I still don't know April's exact date of birth, but the year alone helps a lot and narrows the search.
