OK, listen miss smart alec, Rex Scriptorii doesn't roll off the tongue like Scriptorius Rex. All my Latin sensibilities come from my childhood and my infatuation with dinosaurs. Thus, I looked for and made up a Latin phrase that sounded most like Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Gee, sunshine, don't get your knickers in a twist! *smirks and waves Latin 'A' level certificate in irritatingly in-your-face way* I hate to disabuse you but most dinosaur names are Greek anyway as in "it's all Greek to me"osaur.
I'd just hate for anyone else but me to point this out to you. And how did you know I was a 'miss' anyway?
This blog contains many teachable moments in writing fiction and living life, with the hard and real lessons only the joy of failure can so vividly bring.

I have amazing powers of deduction.
