Did you know George Eliot is actually a woman named Marianne Evans?! Who knew.

At any rate, Silas Marner was written in six months back in 1867, before computers and all that. So I say to you “chop chop” on a book in two years, young lady!

Did you decide on a last name yet? If he is Irish, and really looks it, could his friends nickname him oh.. let’s see, maybe ” Irish”?

If not, try http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061119052258AAFLQgC

for a ton of Irish nicknames and their meanings.

Love Ya

(insert man tears here–but no rock ballads. I have to draw the line.)

Can I start a conspiracy that Anna and Frankie is really close to Anne Frank?

As for nicknames, I’ve always liked “Smalls.” Maybe because every guy I’ve known who had that nickname was awesome, but also maybe because it has that little brother, wouldn’t hurt a fly, but maybe might surprise you with his manliness feel.

Hart is a cool last name that is also a cool nickname.

I’m a little behind on these, sorry!

Thanks Sarah for the laugh, and girl do I feel you. I’m working on the second book in my adult UF series and every word is like pulling teeth. But I do manage to make my word count almost every day. My advice to you? Get knocked up and then the stress of knowing you have to get that book in before you have a newborn keeping you awake all night will terrify you into getting that 3k a day, lol.

Or not. It would probably be nice if there are still a few semi-sane writers left in the world.

Good luck on the WC today,

Stacey Jay
