@emma-flournoy @kate-flournoy @anyoneelsewhowantstoguess
@anne-of-lothlorien told me to give you the following three hints:1. The spelling does not change whether it’s a boy or girl.
2. The last syllable is close to her alias.
3. Marian was your closest guess.So there you have it! Happy guessing! (If you choose to guess anymore, of course. 😉 )
"Courage is action in spite of fear."
@anne-of-lothlorien Oh my goodness. As I was reading your post (fellow ENFP here), I kept going, “Yes… yess… double yes…” I talk to things, a lot of times my reflection (which can get super creepy). Yesss! The multi tasking. I love to do other things at the same time if one activity doesn’t engage my full attention. Yes, the artsiness. Especially the dancing. I dance throughout the house, even in public if not too many people are there. 😉 A tune will pop into my head and I just have to move to it, even it it’s just my fingers. Yeah, I have a short attention span, too. It’s annoying, especially in church, because I have to translate the sermon into English in my head, and I’ll go off on random trails, like, “‘The whole world’ means all the people in this room, not the entire world, in this context. So it means people. I people-watched on the way here and saw a grumpy woman driving a red car. She was probably grumpy becsuse…argh! Focus!” My thought process -_-. I do feel picky about sharing my work, especially with family. I told my brother I was writing a novel and he said, “So why don’t you share it with us?” “Eh, I’ll wait till I’m done editing it…” The Zone. I know exactly what you’re talking about. When my mom calls me and I’m in the middle of writing or reading, even if I’m very close to being done, I’ll get very grumpy, but if she calls me right after I finish, I’m in a great mood. I love play acting, too. I like to imagine that my life is a movie… I’m really shy and mumble around new people but talk my head off around my friends XD The only thing that seems to be different is crying. I cry at the height of my emotions, but it’s usually when I’m really tired. I tear up at sad moments in books and movies, but I’ve never cried over one (outwardly, that is. Inwardly, I’m weeping).
@Daeus I’ve also been pronouncing your name day-us for the little time I’ve been here xD When I saw it I immediately thought it was Latin, so I pronounced it that way because I was taught the Latin pronunciation of “ae” is “ay”. 😀
@emma-flournoy I love petting the soft stuffed animals in the stores! I almost feel like saying, “Hi, I’m Adora, and I like warm hugs!” XD
@corissa-maiden-of-praise Is it Morgan?Read to explore worlds, write to create them.
@corissa-maiden-of-praise CHA-CHING!
So, who else besides me, (this topic has taught me that I’m probably not the only one) reads, writes and thinks of everything as a movie. My books are movies, my writing are movies–which is one reason I have to have the perfect song for each scene–and when I imagine myself doing stuff, it’s a movie. And of course, movies are movies. 😀

Wow what a crazy topic to walk into, but I’m a fellow ENFP so I’m gonna join 🙂 @anne-of-lothlorien @sleepwalkingmk Here’s a question for you ENFPs. What’s easier for you to focus on when writing, the characters or the plot?
I tend to get so absorbed in my characters that the plot gets a bit jumbled. Plus I’m not good at outlining, I have to write it as it comes, which if I’m not mistaken is a typical ENFP trait. 😉Poor @Daeus name is being miss-pronounced across the entire kingdom! (yes I plead guilty!) I’ve been sitting here for awhile trying to get it to come out like you said Da (like ant) us (but barrrelllly pronounce the u) *blank stare at the screen*
Well at least you can’t hear me botch the pronunciation cause all I have to do is use your tag to get your attention. At least it’s pronounced correctly on your end.Tags are nice because if people don’t read my name and only hear me tell them what it is they usually call me Rowena. Which I cringed at until I read Ivan Hoe and then it was all okay.

@daeus So…apparently I’ve been saying your name wrong too. Day-us. So is it Daa-us with a short ‘a’ then?
INTJ - Inhumane. No-feelings. Terrible. Judgment and doom on everyone.
@hope Uum… maybe. I don’t know what a short a is.

@daeus basically the sound a normal a makes. a as in apple
INTJ - Inhumane. No-feelings. Terrible. Judgment and doom on everyone.
YIKES!!! I’m not going to bother reading all the posts. I am a fellow ENFP so let me tell you about my emotions which are crazy.
I am extremely extroverted. 92% to be exact. I cry super easy at anything. Dream, book, movie…in fact I just watched a new movie at the cinema and I couldn’t stop crying for half an hour after the movie was all over and done. It is the new Pete’s Dragon is anyone is interested and I would highly recommend it. No bad language, very modest clothes, and a great story.
I am very empathetic and it drives me crazy. I get so confused by my feelings sometimes and I wish life was a lot more simple than it is.
The easiest part of writing for me (@rolena-hatfield) are the characters. I love making people up.
I love repeating out loud, singing at the top of my lungs. I’m not shy, can talk to strangers pretty much straight away. Some times I wonder why I am 8% introverted???
I AM NOT SCARED TO SHARE MY STORIES WITH ANYONE!!!! Why do I feel I might be the only one here who isn’t scared??? *looks around* Seriously, I learn so much when I share things. Whether it is a story idea, title, characters, plot. Having said all that though, I do find that if I tell too much before I’ve written it, I lose interest in the story. So I have to be careful and balance how much I say.
@bluejay I’m not scared either; I’ve just kind of abandoned all the projects I have right now except one, and it’s not quite ready to share. Unless you guys would be interested on my paper about Antichrist later this month… 😉
"Courage is action in spite of fear."
@Bluejay wow, well good for you. More power to ya. 😀 And actually 8% introversion is an extremely small margin. For comparison, I’m 98% introverted, and though I am an introvert, most people think I’m an extrovert once I get comfortable around them, so I’m outgoing even for an introvert.
If that makes any sense whatsoever…So @Daeus I’ve been trying to pronounce it, and it ends up sounding more like Dace than anything else. With a tiny twist between the a and the c. Does that sound about right, or am I making it worse? 😛
@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise Ah I know, it’s so fun to be goofy online. Sometimes I have to be careful I’m not doing it too much. 😛
Uh, yus…definitely could prove fatal someday if not corrected. 😉 Though I don’t live near the sea or anything, so I should be fine for now at least. I’m not exactly leery of swimming, but I can not do it well, and it hurts, so I don’t really like it. I’m sure I would if I could do it better. 😛
@Anne-of-Lothlorien You can tread water? Ugh I’ve tried and tried to do it, but it never works!
@Daeus So would it be pronounced something like this—Dayce. Or Day, with a veeeeeeeerrry little u sound before the s? I don’t like mispronouncing people’s names, but tell us when you’d rather just forget it so we don’t drive you insane. 😀
@SleepwalkingMK So you have to translate the Romanian sermon? Aghh…you must be pretty quick at it, to get the jist of the sermon while translating too!
I love your name, btw. It’s so adorable, seriously!
I’m not very good at multi tasking, especially if each task requires full attention. I can usually only concentrate fully on one thing at once.
More power to ya. 😀About sharing ideas and getting opinions—seriously people, when having different opinions on your work, what do you do? And how do you feel? I’m not sure I could take the pressure; I’d feel bad if I couldn’t make it how everyone wanted it, and feel I’d let them down if I didn’t use their suggestion. When someone doesn’t think the same thing I do about something, I generally feel bad, even if that something is perfectly fine for me to think the way I do about. I would know it was fine for me to think this way, but I’d feel bad that they didn’t like it as much as I do, and consequently feel less pleasure in it because I knew they didn’t approve. At least, if that person was someone who’s input and opinion I value. For example, say I really like a certain composer’s work. Someone I love doesn’t, and I know they have every right not too, and I don’t want them to think they have to, but I then don’t feel happy about talking of or listening to that composer’s music around them. And I might think they think less of me for liking it, depending on how rational I’m currently feeling. 😉 (No @Kate-Flournoy that was not a pointed example. It used to be like that with Mozart, but since I’m not quite such a Mozart freak anymore, it no longer applies. As much. 😛 ). Translating something like that to your writing…How do you deal with it?
@Emma-Flournoy ummmm… you deal with it. *toothy grin*
@kate-flournoy I think that’s right. Think of it like “dance” only without the “n” and with a stronger s sound and a bit of us before the s.
Speaking of which, I realized that the u is simply pronounced quickly if my name is spoken slowly. It is when you refer to me casually that the u becomes barely pronounced.
@hope Not that then. It’s like the a in ant.🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
@Kate-Flournoy yeah, but how do you not feel bad about if you had multiple opinions, and you only took one? I know as an opinion giver that if my opinion was one of those not taken, I would not be offended at all, but as an opinion taker I would still be concerned. So I suppose it’s just an irrational thing where you have to tell yourself it’s fine? Or is that just a me thing that I need to get over. Surely someone else thinks this way?
@Daeus I think I’ve got it. Maybe.@Emma-Flournoy yeah, I guess you just have to accept that you can’t please everybody. I’m used to it by now. Maybe I did struggle with it starting out; I don’t remember. But ultimately you know what’s best for your work, and you choose the opinions that help most, and that’s your responsibility as a writer.
It’s really not all that complicated, actually. 😛
