This is a beautiful name. I first saw it when I saw a Barbie movie advertised on a commercial. The meanings are gorgeous and even the Spanish form Luminosa is so very lovely, beautiful and rare. In an upcoming novel I intent to write Lumina will be the youngest of seven daughters. Her twin will be named Luna *see on list of posts*. Her sisters will be named Raven, Sparrow, Rosalie, Irisa, Mariposa, and Luna. *See Sparrow, Rosalie, Irisa, Mariposa, and Luna on list of posts.* Lumina has such a unique look that I really love but some on Yahoo Answers I see don’t feel the same about this name. .

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
