I saw an advertisement for the new Oz the Great and Powerful. One of the wicked witches is named Evanora. I know it’s just a combo name of Eva and Nora but I think even if they created it for the movie I think it can be used in novels. I think this is a beautiful exotic name. It had beautiful meanings.

Writing Quotes

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
