Yeah, developing the plot is always a good idea… just not as fun as romance. :] If I ever finish the third draft that I’m working on of my book (somehow no one told me that books take so much work when I started. Although, I didn’t exactly know anyone who wrote when I started, nor did I tell anyone when I started, it just kind of happened… :}) I would love to let you read it!

It’s not too personal at all! It is not… My name is Arwen. Ari is the only nickname I’ve ever been given by anyone and I fell in love with it too. According to my baby-naming book that I use for naming my characters when I need generic names and my brain is like ‘nope! not today!’ Ari is a real name. It says:

Ari

(Hebrew) short for Ariel; lioness

Aree, Arey, Arie, Ary

I’m not at all sure that means it’s a real name though, because it has some very fake names in there. I guess you run out at some point though when compiling more than 50,000 of them. (I’m biased against this book though [even though I continue to use] because it only has ‘Arwen’ as a boys’ name so…)

I have to ask, how do you pronounce your username? I keep pronouncing it as something like ‘are-in-down’, but is it more like ‘ari-n-down’?
