The List (mostly)

[swan_tower]

For those who have been following the Adventure of the Book I'm Totally Not Working On, I Swear, here is the present list of knightly names:

• Audacia (Courage)
  
• Castimonia (Purity)
  
• Justitia (Justice)
  
• Misericordia (Mercy)
  
• Obedentia (Obedience)
  
• Patientia (Patience)
  
• Reverentia (Reverence)
  
• Sollertia (Skill)
  
• Sophia (Wisdom)
  
• Temperantia (Temperance)
  
• Valentia (Strength)
  
• Vigilantia (Vigilance)
  

I may end up tweaking it, but for now, that's the set.

Now I'm off to see if I can convince myself to do my Victorian writing now, making my evening simpler, and also leaving me time to play with this . . . .

I can tell how very much you're not working on this idea. :)

Well, see, I couldn't really work on it because I didn't have names for the characters yet. And how can I start writing scenes without names?

With that obstacle gone, however . . . .

Oh, this makes me laugh.

They're very cool, and I like them tons. I'm laughing because of the other conversation we had about this.

How's your New Shiny going? <g>

See, I am womanfully resisting it. or, at least, I was so busy yesterday, and had to catch up on lost wordage from Monday (or so I told myself) plus I am concurrently reading through my page proofs, that I did not actually think about it AT ALL. In fact, now I'm kind of *ashamed* that I didn't.

Those sound really cool.

Thanks!

"Audacia" isn't 'courage' so much as 'boldness' or 'daring'. If you're fine with that, no problem; but I figured I should point it out.

[swan-tower.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm aware. But it serves my purposes well enough.

somehow I want to see endurance on that list. Which I suppose could be akin to patience. And of course you're not working on it. I can tell. It's obvious.

few more :)
