I have a pen name for privacy reasons only, although I’ll probably change it to my real name if/when I publish. I’m all for pen names, though–they’re fun and creative and can draw a reader in just like your cover and title can (in a way). If you want to, I think it would be fun for you to come up with one. That may just be me…[Read more]

Wait, it isn’t? *adjusts monocle and leans in to squint at screen* Interesting! (I mean, I just changed my internet name to Alexa ‘Autorski’ because why not have a fake Polish name? XD) Ahh, that makes sense! I didn’t think of that, that maybe readers would remember me better. That’s very helpful to know, thank you! I appreciate the…[Read more]

When you’re at the Recent Topics page, look right underneath where it says Recent Topics and click on Forums (where you start new topics). Scroll all the way down and you’ll see who’s recently been active. At the very bottom you’ll see ‘Welcome to our newest member’ and it’ll show the name. Hopefully that helps!:)

No worries! (I wish I’d chosen a simpler tag back when I joined the forum… I had no idea people would have to type that out every time XD) Copypasta is the way to go, it seems.
Awwh, thank you so much!!! I wasn’t sure if my name sounded fitting for an authoress, hence why I didn’t want to use it, but that makes me feel a lot better.…[Read more]

Thank you so much! Yeah, privacy was one of the many reasons I considered using a pen name as well. And I never thought about that! XD
Thanks, Jodi! That’s why I was considering using a pen name/fake name, so that my works wouldn’t be judged (is that the right word?) simply because I’m a female. Though, like you…[Read more]

Hallo, dearest KeePers!
I have a question. *cue suspenseful, stringed music and probably a flash of lightning*
*ahem* What are y’all’s opinions on using a pen name?
Specifically, for female authors. I know, in times past, many female authors have gone under pen names (or even used male names like George Eliot) such as J.K. Rowling and L.M.…[Read more]

*crickets chirping*
*ahem*
I don’t suppose I could jump into this, could I? *more crickets chirping* Yeah, I agree with @devastate-lasting. Wholeheartedly. I must assure you were aren’t this strange all the time. (Or are we?)
Anyways, uh, I’ll introduce myself. My name’s Alexa, but most people ’round these parts call me Lexi. Either is…[Read more]

Ugh, this forum has eaten enough replies for a full meal XD Anyways, yes, do check them out! And then tell me your thoughts! *shudders* Yeah, the movie was okay-ish. Still can’t get over the character ages, though. (Also, another book I’ve heard great things about but have yet to read is The Ranger’s Apprentice, so you might want to…[Read more]

Hey! Just wanted to (once again) apologize for the delay of posting the illustrations! I’ve actually ended up getting sick so I haven’t done very much illustrating at all lately, but once it passes I’ll make sure to send them! They’re coming along nicely and I’ve been making progress with them! Again, SO SORRY about the wait! (Between…[Read more]

Y’all, thank you so much!!!! <33 As soon as I read these, I grabbed a piece of paper and scribbled it down. Thank you so much for the help! I’m off to a gorgeous library for theologians to go study at, but I’ll get in because of my dad, lol. I got my sheet of theme notes and my computer and ready to write a…[Read more]

Hi KeePers! I’ve been reading over some of my old writing and I’m a little discouraged right now. It’s not that my books are unbiblical or unethical, it’s just that I’m lacking strong, foundational themes in my books recently. I’ve been trying to add them in, but they seem a little forced and/or preachy. (
It might also be that the genres I wri…[Read more] -
Alexa Autorski replied to the topic SURPRISE PARTY! *VERY IMPORTANT* in the forum General Writing Discussions 3 years, 5 months ago
@not-so-secret-secret-assassin
Yes, well, you never can be too careful. We certainly wouldn’t want to throw a surprise party if there were a mythical beast on the forum rather than a human. Like a centaur (would they be considered human? Hmm… that’s food for thought) or a chimera of some sort.
Or perhaps I’m not even human myself. You never…[Read more] -

Wow, this sounds fun! Thank you for offering to do this, by the way! 🙂 So for mine, I’ll go with one of my female characters, Alana. She’s 15 years old, has light brown skin, lots of freckles on her cheeks, curly dark brown hair (sometimes it’s braided, but I don’t have a preference), and brown eyes as well. Hopefully that was detailed…[Read more]
