I always come out with a 'novel conversation' between you and Mary with great ideas!! As I mentioned to Maddy, I'm leaning toward either Marcus or Valerius, but I'm still not 100% sure yet. I also like the name Marius. I need to seek the Lord's help in this.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392427700183064027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500941927081282397.post-28159397036836924342012-01-26T18:02:39.248+10:002012-01-26T18:02:39.248+10:00Dearest Maddy,
It was a joy to read your comments...Dearest Maddy,<br /><br />It was a joy to read your comments, dear sister. School has been going rather slow this first week, but steady, trying to get into the feel of schooling again =D. Yes, it was a joy during this holiday to spend time with family together. It was a true blessing!<br /><br />Thanks so much for your help with my main protagonist's name. I'm still very much at a loss, (since I loved the name Marcellus so much!), but I think I'm leaning to either Marcus or Valerius as first names, and Octavius as a second name. Having said that, which of the two is your favourite? I agree that Marcus sounds similar to Marcellus, but I also like the name Valerius. I'm definitely at a loss, but I think seeking the Lord's help is the best idea!<br /><br />Yes, I've thought that giving my character an original name not used in any of the "ancient Rome" novels, might help me with any sub-conscience similarities I've been having in the character's personality.<br /><br />So yes, I think I need to pray and think about it. Thank you so much for your help, and I look forward to receiving an e-mail from you when you get the time =D.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392427700183064027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500941927081282397.post-67300667931053866892012-01-26T12:22:06.183+10:002012-01-26T12:22:06.183+10:00tuched by the post and pictures!tuched by the post and pictures!Savories of lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07478577629126078739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500941927081282397.post-20281578135539743422012-01-25T13:34:52.076+10:002012-01-25T13:34:52.076+10:00I agree with Sarah, that 'Valerian' or ...I agree with Sarah, that 'Valerian' or 'Valerius' would be a great first or second name, too. It might feel strange for a while, your first character taking on a new name... but in time Marcellus will truly become Marcus or Valerius or any other name, to you! That was a good thought, that an original name would help to give your main character an original personality.<br />May the Lord lead you as you write!<br />Lots of love :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500941927081282397.post-46433290810460861412012-01-25T11:58:07.755+10:002012-01-25T11:58:07.755+10:00Dear Joy Joy!
It was a special time this holidays...Dear Joy Joy! <br />It was a special time this holidays. Family is truly a blessing from the Lord. <br />Well, it is difficult to always find the time to accomplish everything we would like to do, but I think you did achieve some good stuff:) <br /><br />Yes, as we were discussing, changing the name Marcellus might be a good thing, even though it is a very good name. I think it might give you more freedom to create his personality. This way you'd be free in your mind from the 'Marcellus' personality in The Robe or the Martyr of the Catacombs, and create something very much your own. As Maddy says, Marcus is a really good substitute for first name and Octavius matches it well. I've also taken a fancy to 'Valerian' or 'Valerius' for either first or second name. It is really up to you:) The Lord will lead. <br /><br />I must go now:0) <br />Much love, <br />SarahSarah C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16600009434792001626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1500941927081282397.post-21825558341545264372012-01-25T08:14:08.954+10:002012-01-25T08:14:08.954+10:00Dearest Joy,
Thank you for sharing these photos, ...Dearest Joy,<br /><br />Thank you for sharing these photos, it was lovely to see a part of your Christmas break! How is this first week of school going for you? Harry and Guy have also started. They are a little bit hazy on some things, especially maths :).<br /><br />Yes, these times with our families are truly precious... it was so good to hear this, Joy, and to read what you shared about your times together. Thank the Lord.<br /><br />Your lovely, long email was such a blessing to read; I look forward to writing back soon! <br /><br />Well, about Marcellus' name... I really do like Marcellus the best :). But if you would feel better about changing it, what about Marcus, as a name that is fairly close?<br />"Octavius" sounds good as a middle name :)<br /><br />I pray this week is one of great blessing for your family, as you and Gracie start schoolwork again. It's a good week to start isn't it, with the heavy rain pouring down outside! (our road has been cut off, because of flooding!).<br /><br />Lots of love from your sister,<br />MaddyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
