What Does Your Name Say About You?
Janelle Icon

I’m spending the day getting ready to leave for the RWA conference in DC (can’t wait to see my Plotmonkey pals! :monkey: ). Since it takes a good 8 hours to get to DC from Oregon, I’m taking a red-eye flight out tonight at 10:30 so I can be there by morning and not waste a day flying! :bigeyes: It sounded like a good idea at the time, and as long as I can sleep on the flight I’ll be fine. :zzzzz: I hope!

Anyway, I don’t have a brilliant blog for you today. Just a fun quiz to find out what your name says about you.

This is what the quiz has to say about “Janelle Denison”:


What Your Name Says About You


Your name says that you are mostly:

Talented but unmotivated

Your name also says you are:

Ambitious but stubborn
Unconventional but unstable
Passionate but flighty

Overall, very interesting. I can’t agree with the “unstable” and “flighty” part! But yeah, I CAN be unmotivated at times. Can’t lie about that! :giggler:

Click on the blue highlighted link above, type in your name, and post back here what your name says about you (and if you agree/disagree!)

Janelle

JanelleJanelle Denison finds it hard to believe that it’s been nearly 25 years since she first started writing romance novels. At first, it was a way to pass idle time while her husband worked swing shift, but before long it became an obsession to get published. Luckily, she kept at it (it took her over 5 years to get that first book published!) and is now a Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and USA Today Bestselling author! Now, after selling over 45 plus novels, she finds that her Plotmonkey pals help to keep her stories fresh and unique, and she can’t imagine writing a story without their input. Janelle lives in Oregon with her husband, Don, along with two teenage daughters that keep life interesting.

    What Your Name Says About You

    Your name says that you are mostly:

    Commanding but aloof – I guess I can be at times

    Your name also says you are:

    Ambitious but stubborn – oh very if I feel I am right
    Dynamic but aggressive – no
    Charismatic but impulsive – at times I have been this to the letter LOL

    I kinds agree on most of it but the aggressive part…Not so much. Those who know me know that I am not aggressive. Iam more of a peace maker than anything else!

    :hothot: We will be back in the 100′s again today and tomorrow. This weekend was a nice break because we were in the mid to upper 90′s LOL

    I love the new look (where have I been???). Secondly, Carly…happy belated birthday….sorry it took me so long…we were on vacay last week :mickey:

    My name says I am:

    Your name says that you are mostly:

    Intuitive but high strung

    Your name also says you are:

    Ambitious but stubborn
    Dynamic but aggressive
    Artistic but extreme

    Let’s just say, I am not agressive (but the rest is pretty spot on). Weird. I am totally high strung (ask any one of the boys’ teachers); Very stubborn; not really artistic (unless I am pregnant) and VERY extreme (I get on something and I go full throttle).

    Miss you all :mickey:

    Your name also says you are:

    Artistic but extreme
    Inspiring but melodramatic
    Independent but distant

    Yes I’m impatient, Artistic maybe in the sense that I was a hairstylist for 13 years and that I have a great imagination and have been working on writing. Melodramatic I can be I should of got into acting and before I was married I was very independent,

    Your name says that you are mostly:

    Energetic but impatient

    Your name also says you are:

    Ambitious but stubborn
    Fiery but unbalanced
    Brilliant but obsessive

    Hm, I wish I was energetic! But I can be impatient. I am ambitious and known to be stubborn. Fiery, maybe; unbalanced, no (I’m one of the most balanced people in my family). Brilliant – thank you, I’ll take that. Obsessive – not as much as other people in my family!

    Your name also says you are:

    Glamorous but snobby
    Ambitious but stubborn
    Unconventional but unstable

    Definitely slow, although I prefer “methodical”
    The antithesis of glamorous, and I hate snobs so I can’t possibly be one. Can I?
    Unconventional is completely false. I’m so square I’m a cube. The unstable part is dead on LOL

    Love the new look!

    Hmm, not sure how accurate this is.

    Your name says that you are mostly:

    Thoughtful but slow – Yep to the thoughtful, wouldn’t say I’m slow though.

    Your name also says you are:

    Perceptive but paranoid – Not sure
    Unconventional but unstable – Nope to both
    Energetic but impatient – I can definitely agree with this.

    Overall, I think there’s some accuracy but not much.

    *******
    Liking the new look.
