Happy Monday, y'all!
I just saw my little blog now has 100 FOLLOWERS!!! You guys. TT_TT Y'all are THE BEST. Thanks for sticking with me! I love you bunches & would hug you & bake you cookies if I could, & we would fangirl HARD over ALL the things. (Haha, not that we don't do so now. . . Captain 'Merica all the way, just saying.)
Anywho. . . If you're participating in my March Promptlies Link-up, I can hardly STAND the wait of seeing what stories you've cooked up! How's it going?? I actually sprawled out on my bed last night with my notebook and WROTE words. For, like, almost an hour---maybe an hour or so. . . I wasn't keeping track. heheh It's a mess right now, but it felt SO GOOD to just do it. I'll have my little story posted sometime later this week (Friday, hopefully!).
But for now, here's a fresh set of place names for you! These feature an all-guys, boy-band kind of group. ;D
Enjoy!

Whatcha think? (Dresden & Kyoto are probably my faves of these.) I know the German & Japanese combo is kinda strange in this set, but these four stood out to me this week, and it's so neat to see the history of the cities!
What a fun group of names. Dresden is definitely my favorite. That's an epic name for a guy! :D
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS ON 100 FOLLOWERS!!!! SO EXCITING. *shoots Gandalf-style fireworks* AND congrats on writing! That is the BEST feeling. Spending an hour or so just getting words down. Yesss. It's truly magical. I canNOT wait to see your flash fiction piece! :D
Agreed! Awww, thanks, girlie! *^ - ^* (Gandalf's fireworks are the BEST) Yes, it truly is a magical feeling, even if it comes out all jumbled at first or too much too fast, it's such a great feeling to get the words out there. :] Thank you! I'm posting it tomorrow (Wednesday)!!
DeleteHappy to see some Asian names! I like Kyoto as well, it's got that nice "kyoh" sound. I remember I was suprised to see Lee Min Ho's face on one of your old name posts ^_^ Where do you get your pictures from?
ReplyDeleteYes! I thought it was about time I shared more of those. I think so too! the "kyoh" just has a nice ring to it. :D I find all the photos on Pinterest, so a good bit of them tend to be celebrities, models, or just random beans whose faces I like. It's quite fun trying to match the faces with the names. *^ - ^*
