Independence

Meaning: (Freedom)

Origin: (American)

Pronunciation: (ˌin-də-ˈpen-dən(t)s\, Go to this site and run your cursor over the word Independence to hear how it is said: http://www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=independence&submit=Submit )

Gender: Female or possibly Uni-Sex

I thought about this word and I thought it could be an adorable name for a character. It could be given to a character of maybe an alien world or our world in the future and it's in conflicts and war. And the character is named Independence because her parents hope she can free them or free the world. Or you can go a dozen different ways with this name. Might not do good in Historical Fiction as this name might not have been used too far back. Or at least not as a name but as a word.

Writing Quotes

You become a writer because you need to become a writer- nothing else. – Grace Paley

Detail makes the difference between boring and terrific writing. It's the difference between a pencil sketch and a lush oil painting. As a writer, words are your paint. Use all the colors. – Rhys Alexander

Keep writing. Keep doing it and doing it. Even in the moments when it's so hurtful to think about writing. – Heather Armstrong

You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist. – Isaac Asimov

The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.”- Terry Pratchett

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly

As against having beautiful workshops, studios, etc., One writes best in a cellar on a rainy day- Van Wyck Brooks

We do not write because we want to; we write because we have to. - William Somerset

If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. - Toni Morrison

A culture is as rich and as capable of surviving as it has imaginative artists. The artist is looked upon to start things. The artist injects the spirit of life into a culture. And through his creative endeavors, the writer works continually to give tomorrow a new form. - L. Ron Hubbard
