NC Stokes replied to the topic Pen Names in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 11 months ago
@jenwriter17 I chose to use a pen name, simply because I don’t want my real name circulating around on the interweb. 🙂 I’ve never published anything, though. If I do, I will use my pen name. For now, I just use it on writerish websites like this one.

@jenwriter17Â I suppose it depends on how much you want to protect your identity. Personally, I use a pen name because my real name isn’t common in the USA, so it would be easy to search for on the internet, therefore, more prone to people nosing about my personal information.
But I don’t know how rare your name is. *grins*
That’s all I got. 🙂

You know you’re a writer when you go into the backyard to wave a stick around aggressively, pretending to fight wolves and whatnot. One of my characters fights with a staff. It’s RESERCH. I’m being PROFESSIONAL. Not just having way too much fun. RESERCH, I tell you.

@alia Well, why did she kidnap the princess in the first place? Was she the one who put the sleeping spell on the royal family?

@ingridrd Hello! I finished reading Substitute Wednesday, but I’m just now giving you the critiques. Oops. Because I can’t make comments, I just typed up my critiques. Please forgive me if I sound harsh. I tried to critique it like a book I didn’t know the author of and didn’t know anything about.

Pg 24 –up to you if yo…[Read more] -

@everyone I’m sorry I never replied to you guys sooner! Life is still a little crazy.
@ariel-ashira *drowns raspberries in ice cream* *eats mixture* In the words of King Daeus, “Once a Kapeefer, always a Kapeefer.” Thanks! I’m glad to be back as well.

@leumeister it’s quite science-y but also plausible. 😀 I like the gravity manipulation thing. I have something slightly similar, only it’s a negative energy pulsar that basically creates a mini wormhole around the ship and enables almost instantaneous transportation.
Lots of cool ideas. 😀

@leumeister I would love to, but unfortunately I’ve got a huge project on my hands right now (launching my first published book this year 😀 ) and I promised myself I wouldn’t take on anything extra.

Sorry this is such a late response! I was in Tennessee for a week with limited internet access. Anyway, THANK YOU so very much for your comments and taking the time to read my story! And you were most definitely not too harsh. I needed some critical feedback. 🙂 Thanks again!
Glad to be of service! I enjoyed reading it.
