Hey @everyone, I know some of you aren’t American, but I wanted to remind you about the 15-year anniversary of the devastating attack on the World Trade Center. Just lift up an extra prayer today for those affected most.

If you’re asking if you should use Alexa or Alexis in your book… that’s tough! Then there’s always Alexyi or Alexi or Alixis… the variations are unlimited! Look on websites or in books for baby names… they often have numerous variations and alternate spellings for a “normal” name.

@jess Dalton is a major character in book 3 of the knights of Arrethtrae. And then he is in book 4 too.
What time period is your story set in? -

@jess: I think Hazel was used in the Percy Jackson books, but I might be wrong. I like the name Dalton a lot. Your book sounds amazing! Although, you don’t want the government in your book to end up like Syndrome (a.k.a. Buddy) from the Incredibles: killing off people with powers because they are jealous of their gifts. I like the idea of the kids…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper: LOL you sound like you’d be handy on camping trips! I’m sure your claws make typing a little difficult.
I ended up having to order The Art of Big Hero 6 from inter-library loan, so if you can’t find it at your local library system, you may have to search abroad. When you do get your hands on that book, look for Jin Kim’s artwork…[Read more] -

@dragon-snapper: Why, yes, I have seen Big Hero 6! Have you read The Art of Big Hero 6 by Jessica Julius? It has some fantastic concept art pieces in it! By the way, dragons are great. Really, really great. Being a dragon sounds awesome ;).
@hope: thanks for the welcome! I agree. -

@sarah-h I’m going to stop now. I wrote 447 words (I think.) 🙂 But I’ve run out of ideas. I was writing 100 words stories which were fun, though.

Another way my sister makes names more interesting is switching out vowels in names. For instance…
“a”, “i” or “e” can be changed to a “y”
“c” can often be exchanged for a “k” -

@dragon-snapper WHAT!!!!!!???????????!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t write anything, but I didn’t throw a fit. You need to take a few of my B-calm tablets. (I’m sure I’ve mentioned them before) Oh, yes. When everyone was having untimely deaths. *shakes head sadly and starts to repair the damaged chairs and phones*

@julia-r I didn’t see this until after 9/11, but thanks for the reminder. It is so unbelievably sad for me (and I didn’t know anyone who died), but I can’t imagine what the families and friends of 9/11 victims must be feeling at this time of year. 🙁 :'(
