The fledgling Artist

@jenwriter17 I have seen authors that do that.  Or use their full first name, and then middle and last name letters (like: Esther M.W.).

Piggybacking on what @daughteroftheking said:

You know you are a writer when you wish there was a way to test if a knife or sword is actually stained red after someone stabs somebody… without hurting someone.

@jenwriter17 Personally, I am going to use my real name unless my parents forbid me to, which I don’t think they will.  (They are pretty protective too, and felt more comfortable with me using a pen name here.)  I guess I just like my real name as much as Ariel Ashira, and I want people to know me by it.  My last name is different than most, so pe…[Read more]

@rochellaine Thank you!  And you don’t have to hurry with the Declaration.  We can wait.

@dekreel *hands you a hankerchief already stained with raspberry blood tears* 🙂

@rochellaine Oh, that would be great!  Come back soon, Bobert!

@ariel-ashira Wow, that’s an amazing poem!  I love it!!!

@catwing *hides* when I promised to get it done “as soon as possible” I forgot that we would be out of state all weekend.  We’re visiting some friends, but we’re staying at a hotel near them, so basically I’m only able to be on my computer at the hotel before 9:00 a.m. or after 11:00 p…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Well, as you know, I use my real name on my books…or did you know that? 😛  There was never really any question about that with my parents, since it’s a business for me, and for business everyone uses their real name, obviously. (Unless you’re an actor, in which case you can change your name to whatever fancy name you want.)

I…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira I’d let you have a look at the machine, but I just sent Bobert in it to Australia.  He wants to check on @seekjustice and make sure she’s okay after all those threats @alia made. 😀  Maybe when he gets back you can have a tour.  Though I think it’s actually @dekreel who should be in charge of the time machine since she has studied ti…[Read more]

@alia  This is a very cool idea.  As you know, I don’t read fantasy, but it does sound very interesting, and I like retellings.

I didn’t respond at first because I couldn’t think of anything, but I just had a really funny idea, and thought I’d tell you. 😉  I don’t know that you’d actually be able to use it, but it does mix up a couple of fa…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira  *starts crying raspberry blood*

Wow. That was pretty inspiring.

@jenwriter17  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. 🙂

@leumeister I don’t even remember asking that. 😛
I did listen to your music, I liked it. Nice job.
You can ignore this, it’s just my opinion/advice. If you want to sell them you may have to bring your price down a bit. On average it seems that albums sell for roughly $10-$15, and have roughly 10-15 songs. I think someone might by your album for…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Okay, I’ll try to remember to create that soon then. :3

@rochellaine @seekjustice @ariel-ashira @valtmy @jenwriter17 @alia @dekreel @kaya-young
I’ve been thinking about creating a new thread about how to retrieve a doc if you can’t use the undo button. Or do y’all already know how to do that? What do you think?

I’m working on a blog post.

I keep forgetting to comment on here! Sorry…
@jenwriter17 @dekreel @alia I’m still praying for y’all. 😉

@alia @rochelline @jenwriter17 @seekjustice I am on for a little bit.

@alia Oh good!  I will keep praying.

@alia How is your sister?

@jenwriter17 @alia Aww, thank you, guys!

@leumeister If you need someone I might be able to read them. Though because I’m entering a short story contest and I still need to write it, I can’t do it until after June 4 (which is the day I turn it in so I’ll be done).
