WHOA, my link went through!!! 😀 😀 (I think the secret is perhaps to post it as a cut and paste instead of as a link) Cue the fireworks!! XD

@writerlexi1216

I think that in fantasy, initials are a continuous popularity, like say J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and J.K. Rowling. Although on the other hand, other fantasy stars like Niel Gaiman just stick with their real name and go with that.
Some writers like to take on pen names for the obvious reasons like privacy and genre-switching or…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 @daisy-torres Ah, yeah, it’s a Japanese site used for making icons and such. It’s all in Japanese and does have it’s, um, share of weird stuff, but most of it is pretty awesome.

@writerlexi1216 Loolll that is true XD It’s almost like…. there’s a secret tag/link-eating monster about… but that’s ridiculous, right…?

I will name him Samuel XD

@writerlexi1216 Aww thankss!!! That makes me really happy to hear!!!

Yayyy, since my message went through, I’m just going to add some tags here–

(feel free to ignore, but if you’re interested in clean, free fantasy books, here you go! XD)

@writerlexi1216 No invites needed!! But sorry you weren’t tagged XD I need to prepare a tag list for surprise parties…. We’ll be better prepared next time XD

@writerlexi1216

Never mind my earlier post, I figured out why I couldn’t find my reply, (links) XD That’s funny and not so funny at the same time.

@writerlexi1216

Dobro pozhalovat!

Which is essentially ‘greetings’ in Russian:) I feel really bad about being this late with my reply, *looks sheepishly around KP* that is with all my replies really. But yes, I’m with you, I keep telling myself to make a schedule to make time somewhere… but I don’t even have time to do that XD But still, I…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Wow, my posts just aren’t coming through tonight, (curse of the posts maybe? XD ). Did you get my post? I can’t find it anywhere.

@writerlexi1216 Hahaha! Thankss.

Ohh I think I believe it XD I have a cousin named Alexis and she has said the same thing XD

Does you/a friend have an amazon Alexa device? if so, does it ever get confused when someone talks to you? XD

@gracie-j Lolll guilty is charged XD

@writerlexi1216 Hahaha I mean my name is a really long, hard to pronounce Scottish one (It has a whopping 9 letters XD) So I used a more common name XD

@writerlexi1216 Ehehe, am I totally stalking this topic because I’ve had (and continue to have at this very moment) the very similar debate in my head about whether to use initials or my middle name? I’ll never tell. 😛

Anyway, I don’t have much to add, except to suggest just playing around with it. Add your name to some mockup covers of your…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216 *mysterious music* It’s not XD I wondered about your internet name! I saw “Autorski” earlier and got confused as to why I didn’t recognise it XD I knew the “writerlexi1216” part, but the change just threw me off lolll. Absolutely!!

@writerlexi1216

My vote is nay, UNLESS it has to do with the story, etc. example: Lemony Snicket.

My thing on the privacy is I understand it, but I also don’t, because once you’re published you’re going to be discovered eventually. But I can understand where ppl are coming from too…..so I guess it’s a “it depends” from me lol! Like if ur just po…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

It may surprise you to hear that my real name is not *ahem* *sigh* Morgan. Personally, I use a penname for privacy reasons. I may or not use a full penname when (if) I publish my book. I’ll see when the time comes, but I would not personally use initials just to hide my gender. If you do decide to use a penname, I like Alexa…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

I think, privacy reasons aside, I would only go for a pen name to disguise the fact that I was a woman, but as a couple of other people have said, that’s less of an issue than it used to be. For example, if I was to write YA that’s a female dominated area of publishing and being labeled as a Chelsea wouldn’t be a bad thing at all.…[Read more]

@writerlexi1216

Personally, I think it’s better to not have initials (except maybe a middle initial), I like Alexa Williams, but the other is also elegant. And real name or fake name? When I finally publish, I think I’m going to go with a fake name because my first name is all too short and my last name, at ten letters, is way too long and is…[Read more]

2.  The “lol”s must come naturally. So you know what that means….
