Why the Name Jill is Awesome

Okay, so it's Friday and I need a break from the stupid edits that are driving me friggin mad. I've finished the short erotic romance that I plan to send to my editor with EC, but that's only going to happen if I can manage to finish my edits! Ugh.

So, I'm taking a break. Are you wondering about the title of this post? Thought I'd share something about me in a fun way. Why I love the name Jill:
  1. Jill is the name of my best friend in the whole world. And when I say best friend, I mean more like sisters. We've been friends since 5th grade and there's something special about a friend who has known you through every important stage in your life.
  2. Jill is the name of my very first editor (with The Wild Rose Press). She's no longer with the Crimson line, but I signed my first contract with her and working with her was a wonderful experience.
  3. Jill Sorenson is the name of a new (and now favorite) author I discovered this year.
  4. Jill (Marsal) is the name of the (awesome) agent I signed with this year. (I actually have a character named Jill in the manuscript I sent to her too.)
I've never met a Jill I didn't like and now you know something new about me. Have a great weekend everyone!

There must be something to that! Can't say there's a name that's been that important in my life, although I've encountered about 6 people with the same name and all are more than a little off balance. Sorry - I refuse to share what it is;-)

I've had a lot of encounters with the name Misty. My friend's name is Misty my oldest daughter's name is Misty. I've met quite a few people in my life with the name of Misty.

That's so awesome! I never thought about connecting names that were similar and impacted me. :)

Isn't that strange...I've never met one Jill in my whole life.

Hope your weekend is special :)

Hey, that is neat. And the name Jill's going to be even better once your agent finds you a hot book deal with a big NY publisher!

How funny - I like the name, too. I also like Jillian/Gillian, which is really pretty.
