And why, ILG, would you use a pen name? Do you have plans to name people in your book? Just wondering....

No, not at all. If you read the book you will understand that I am considering using a pen name for my personal safety.

Might I suggest using the name Ian Fleming?

LOL! Had to look that up to figure out why.
I thought about using Emma Bontrager, but think I will pass.

I think a pen name is a very good idea. I'm relieved, in a way, that you chose to do this.

Why? I am intrigued that you would feel relief.

Because I know some of your story and I think distancing yourself just one step from the story you have to tell is a good idea.

Re: I've Started Writing
Sure want a copy...no matter how it is published...Hello to you my friend. You are always in my prayers.
It is our dark experiences that often draw the good in us to light...yes, it does take a while. I was once deeply hurt but today can look back at it and smile...it helped me in the end to understand others and their dark nights.

Hi, Sis A. Yes, I am trying to piece together the good in my life out of this, that is part of the reason I am writing, it helps me put my own mind together! Hope you are well.
