Since there seems to be an unusally high interest in the Irish language in particular, I will start a new Saturday series, the Irish Word of the Week.
Let's begin with my Irish pen name, Saoirse. It is, indeed, a real Irish word, not only a derivative.
"saoirse"
Pronunciation: SEERsha
Meaning: freedom
My connection with this word:
Apparently, I like it pretty much; it's my pen name, after all. Furthermore, for me, it stands for the freedom I have as freelancer.
Language ... the bridge of communication, the magic creator of worlds, the brush and paint of authors. Language is magic. It gives us power. It is something you just have to love.
