No, not right now. I used to go by a pen name, then changed the pen name to one that fit my culture, and now I just go by my given name.
The most intereting part is that this process really helped me build my own identity and make me my own person. It just made me more comfortable with my culture and my life, which had, until that point, been something I was sort of embarrased about.

If itās a floppy paperback that doesnāt have that weird shorter front cover than Iām all for paperbacks. Although I prefer to have hardbacks for most genres and books that are long.
So, it is hardbacks.
Why the hell did I put hardcover? LOL!
I honestly didnāt even notice
.
LOL!
I call them paperbacks and hardcovers. I think itās a dialect thing
Ah, I see.
Iām like that too hence the poll. lol
Can you even imagine writing or reading a novel with 800+ chapters and with a word count of 3k to 5k?
(Just wondering)
- No, I could never write or read something that long.
- Yes, it sounds like a challenge, but a rather fun challenge.
- Qualeshia, who in their right mind would do that? Is this real?
- Let me think about it and Iāll get back to you.
- If the story is amazing, I guess I would.
- Other (explain in the comments).

It depends on how well talked about it is, and by whom. If it wins any major literary prizes, and everyone I respect is reading it or plans to and it has lots of positive buzz, then sure, Iāll read it. Iām a masochist. ć½(ļ¾Šļ¾)ļ¾
So, you would write something of that length?
Wowzers!
Sure! If I could think up a plot that would require that kind of length, Iād have no hesitation. But the longest book Iāve ever read was War & Peace, and that was only 300+ chapters, each chapter about 1500 words, and I canāt imagine writing anything as long as W&P right now. My stories just arenāt that complicated at the moment. ĀÆ\_(ļ¢)_/ĀÆ
Because you mentioned that I am wondering if Tales of Alterra will be that long.
As much as I love the story, my fingers and body will hate me forever. LOL!

I donāt do it daily, but once in awhile Iāll check it out for fun.
In case you donāt know what it is, itās basically a word game where you try and guess a five letter word in six tries. When you guess one words, itāll tell you if you got a letter right (& if itās the right place or wrong place).

Nah.
is the word count per chapter 3-5k?
I would prefer it be broken into different books. That would make it more digestible.
Well, my friends and I have an oral version of this game we like to play.
Yes.
Understandable. LOL!
Just 2 for me ![]()
