“There’s an old writing rule that says ‘Don’t have two character names start with the same letter’, but I knew at the beginning that I was going to have more than 26 characters, so I was in trouble there. Ultimately it comes down to what sounds right. And I struggle with that, finding the right name for a character. If I can’t find the right name I don’t know who the character is and I can’t proceed.” IfsKnowsWritingI CanTwoCharacterNamesSoundStruggleTroubleFindingsLetters Author:George R. R. Martin

“The logic of cross and resurrection, of the new creation which gives shape to all truly Christian living, points in a different direction. And one of the central names for that direction is joy: the joy of relationships healed as well as enhanced, the joy of belonging to the new creation, of finding not what we already had but what god was longing to give us.” GivingWellsDifferentChristianJoyNamesCreationShapesFindingsCrossesLogicLongingBelongingResurrectionChristian LivingHealedDifferent Directions Author:N.

“I was working in a church in Florida as a youth intern, which means I really didn't do much other than staple stuff. I'm from Dallas, Texas, and every time my grandmother would call-she would call me any time of the day-I'd be home answering the phone. She was like, "What do you do all day?" and sarcastically I would say, "Well, I'm trying to chalk off the next year to spend time finding a band name." And she said, "Well mercy me, why don't you get a real job?" I thought, "Wait a minute. That's the perfect name." That kind of freed up my year but that's where the name came from.” TryingYearsWellsKindMeanSaidRealHomeJobsNextNamesStuffWaitingChurchPerfectMinutesYouthBandFindingsMercyPhonesGrandmotherCall MeTexasFloridaEnd TimesMy GrandmotherSpend TimeNext YearDallasStaplesReal JobsChalkDallas TexasAnswering The Phone Author:Bart Millard

“There are all sorts of experiences we can't really put a name to...The birth of a child, for one. Or the death of a parent. Falling in love. Words are like nets--we hope they'll cover what we mean, but we know they can't possibly hold that much joy, grief, or wonder. Finding God is like that, too. If it's happened to you, you know what it feels like. But try to describe it to someone else--and language only takes you so far.” IfsKnowsFeelsTryingMeanChildrenJoyFallNamesLanguageParentGriefWonderHappenedBirthFindingsFalling In LoveFinding GodBirth Of A Child Author:Jodi Picoult
“My name is October Christine Daye; I live in a city by the sea where the fog paints the early morning, parking is more precious than gold, and Kelpies wait for the unwary on street corners. Neither of the worlds I live in is quite mine, but no one can take them away from me. I did what had to be done, and I think I may finally be starting to understand what's important. It's all about finding the way home, wherever that is. I plan on finding out. I have time.” ThinkingWorldWayMayImportantDoneHomeNamesWaitingCitiesMorningPlansSeaStreetsMinesFindingsGoldPaintStartingCornersFogOctoberWhat's ImportantParkingEarly MorningWay HomeStreet CornersChristine Author:Mira Grant
