Miraval

Meaning: (To Look, Survey, Admire, Valley)

Origin: (Argonese)

Pronunciation: (Mira-vahl, meer-ah-vahl)

Gender: Female

I was watching E News the other day when they were talking about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Their home in France is named Miraval. I like the name a lot probably because I like Mira as it is the name of one of my favorite characters that I have written about. The meanings are good and lovely.

I was unfamiliar with Argonese so I googled it and saw there is a castle in Italy with the Argonese name and I think it is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I say meet me there for I am determined to go.

Here are two links to pictures of the place: http://castles.niceworld.info/italy/slides/Aragonese-Castle-Isle-Of-Ischia-Italy.jpg & http://omgamazingpics.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Castello-Aragonese-Ischia-Italy-wallpapers-HD.jpg

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
