Elizalea / Elizalee / Elizaleigh

Pronunciation: (Eliza: eh-LIY-z-ə Elizalee/ Elizalea / Elizaleigh: E-lizuh-lee)

Gender: Female

Elizalee / Elizalea / Elizaleigh are most likely double barreled names and are separated to Eliza Lee / Eliza Lea / Eliza Leigh. I was looking through some old writing journals I have and found an early name for one of my characters who I named something different later. The early name I had chosen for her was Elizalea. Something about combining instead of making it a double barreled name seems prettier to me and more unique. Either way you go separated or together I think this is a beautiful name and I love to say it.

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
