Creative Help

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

I found inspiration to start a new children's book! I'm really excited to get started on a new project, even though I'm still in the midst of working on my novel.
So far, I've come up with the basic plot of the story, and the message that I want it to convey. Unlike "A Christmas For Toys," this book isn't going to be themed toward a holiday. It'll be a book that can be read at any time of the year, and will hopefully share something that kids can connect to.

Before I start writing stories, I always come up with a game plan. I write a list of plot points that I want to cover. I write down descriptions of all of my characters, from names to ages to hair color. I need to connect with my story before I can find the words to take what's in my head and put it on paper for others to enjoy.

My only problem is that I'm stuck when it comes to the main character's name. I know that I want this to be a children's book centered around a little girl, but I cannot figure out what I want her name to be. I can't move forward in my creative process until I figure this out. I haven't even thought about a title yet, or what the other characters' names will be, but I need to decide on a name for this main girl.

So what do I do when I come across a creative road block like this? Well normally I'll do some research, walk away from the project for a while, or stare at a blank page until something pops into my head. But tonight I thought I would try something different. I decided to make a poll and share it with others to see what you all think would be a good name to use. I've come up with a few of the names that keep popping into my head, and figured that I could take into account the opinions of some of my loyal blog readers. The poll is below, and I'd love it if you could click on the name you like the most. Remember, it's for a little girl in a children's book. I'll let you know what the final decision will be when I determine it!

Your continued support means the world to me. From foster care to novels, and family to work experiences, I look forward to sharing more of my life with you each day. Don't hesitate to share your own stories with me or ask me questions about my life. Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!

    About

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
