Anonymous asked: How do u feel about family or parents following your writing media?

The purpose of a mostly anonymous blog is to remain mostly anonymous.

My family has access to the vast majority of my writings but here… this is private.

Besides most of them have a dim view of poetry and this blog would probably bore their socks off. ( auto correct twice changed socks to dicks. We are not friends )

Gold star for the interesting question anon

Anonymous asked: Have you ever read the hunger games trilogy?

Curious question. But I have. I read it during happier times in this country and would have laughed at the possibility of ruthless dictator here

Now no laughter. Just terror

Anonymous asked: If I change my pen name how do I avoid being accused of the plagiarism of my own writings? Also what could I do about too many people who know me recognizing me? I feel like women authors of old.

Archive all your old writings. Put them away. They will always be yours. But start fresh. Unknown. Anonymous. Find your song again.

I think now with social media being anonymous in art is a blessing.

Judge the art, not the artist

Anonymous asked: Thank you for being here. You're appreciated.

I find this both timely and touching.

If I am being quite honest I’m utterly lost and adrift at the moment.

So a Gold Star for you for accepting my ennui

Anonymous asked: So, how to I become reinvented, and will it fit forever?

Alas nothing lasts forever ( the cynical romantic in me wants to discuss live. But I’ll spare you that torture )

Reinvention is harder than you would think. Really you just need a change of clothes. A new hat if you will. It is freeing to change

So not reinvention, rather a shading of your soul

Gold star to light you on your way anon

Anonymous asked: I was going to ask your advice, but typing it out helped me solve half my dilemna. For the second half, what can I do if I want to choose a different pen name than the one I already have?

I am glad my silent presence helped.

Now on to the 2nd part nom de plumes ( not sure about the plural… I only took 7 years of French Wish I paid attention ) are like clothing

You need to wear a pen name and walk around in it. If your present one doesn’t fit change. You’ll be reinvented

Gold star for allowing me to show off my school boy French ( or lack there of )
