Tirzah

Meaning: (Take Pleasure; Approve, Delight, Pleasantness, She is my Delight, Favorable, Cypress Tree, One of the five daughters of the Manassite Zelophehad; a contemporary of Moses and Joshua.—Nu 26:29, 33; 27:1-7; 36:11, 12; Jos 17:3, 4. Also a city in Samaria. Archaeological evidence seems to favor identifying it with Tell el-Farʽah, about 10 km (6 mi) NNE of Shechem.)

Origin: (Biblical, Hebrew)

Pronunciation: (TEER-zuh, TIR-za)

Gender: Uni-Sex

I was reading my Watchtower a few weeks ago and I read about the daughters of Zelophehad. I love some of his daughter’s names. So I decided to add them here. Tirzah is really beautiful looking. The meanings are very lovely. I keep thinking I have used this as a character name but I can’t remember in what story. It has nice exotic sound and look to it which I like. It does have another world look to me though.

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
