@daisy-torres

That sounds fun! I’m like you in how I don’t usually stay in one world very long. Usually just one book. Probably because after each book I want to try something totally different.

What current world are you working on right now? Have you made any recent developments with it?

ooh, yeah, I really learned the…[Read more]

@e-k-seaver

So exciting! 😀 I’m pretty sure I signed up, but if you don’t see my name on the list let me know and I’ll definitely sign up for this 😉

@kathleenramm

I started entering competitions and submitting work to magazines/anthologies when I was about 13 I think? I’m pretty sure I was first published at 14, and then had several other publications after that.

@scoutfinch180 Interpolation is when your mind fills in the gaps, for example, you read a brief description of a character but a few pages later you already have their face in your mind. It’s pretty cool!

@kathleenramm Hmmm most recently probably comes from my English professor. Probably: “If there’s an upper word count limit then it means that this assignment can be done very well and with quality in this word count or under.” I guess overall, length isn’t everything.

Oh, and there was talk about interpolation and sensory description and…[Read more]

@r-m-archer

Haha, yeah pseudonyms are a great chance to have the name you always wished was yours lol.

Also, I really like the meaning behind your name archer! It constantly gives you the reminder of what you are aiming towards. Plus, it sounds cool which is a bonus.

I 100% agree with you about it being so much easier being…[Read more]

Hmmm… I’m going to have to check that out. I’ll get back to you soon if I figure anything out or make any changes to the website. Thanks for letting me know about the problem!

@faith-q You need to write at least one short story under Vierra F. Spring, and no one will understand except that one person who laughed at you.

I was seriously considering using a pseudonym for several years, but I decided against it for a couple of reasons. One being that I started getting published when I was quite young, so my real name was already out there. I’ve won competitions under Chelsea Hindle, been published in magazines, and obviously did my internship here with that name, my…[Read more]

Also, if you just want to skip  to the second chapter to read what i wrote, you can. You don’t need to read the first chapter to understand the second chapter.

@r-m-archer

Thanks for helping me understand a bit better!

Also, sorry if I sounded a bit “un-gracious” there, but I guess what I meant wasn’t anything against the author, but the story. (I’m also a terrible writer, and it would indeed be bad news for me if the notion of improvement didn’t exist). So to rephrase: If the characters, world, an…[Read more]

@elfwing

WAIT. YOU’RE— OH! I totally hadn’t connected you to this username! Hi! XD 😀

@lavenderbookling

Hi, Bleu! ^-^

@kathleenramm I use a pen name, since I don’t really like other people knowing my real name, though for pieces I write in real life situations I use my real name. I think it’s cooler to have a name that I chose for myself, and it gives off the kind of vibe I want to give off.

I write under a pseudonym. To begin with it was just because I thought it sounded cooler and more fantastical than my real name, lol. And initials are pretty popular among speculative fiction authors (fantasy authors in particular). But as a woman it’s nice because I won’t have to worry about deciding whether or not to change the name I write by…[Read more]
