Does a Rose by Any Other Name Smell as Sweet?
To pen name, or not to pen name.... That is the question. When I was a practicing Christian, I hesitated to write the books I wanted to write because I was afraid they wouldn't please Jesus or Christians. When I was more secular and working on my MFA, I had to submit my manuscript to a sensitivity board and so dropped from the program. In both cases, I was refusing to play by the rules of my chosen establishment and ironically censoring myself. I may be answering my own question here, but... The books I want to write include erotica - not straight smut novels, but as part of the story. I've always wanted to be blunt and honest about character's lives including good sex, bad sex, and no sex. It's a huge part of a character's internal and external life and it feels like cheating to skip or insinuate it. But... And here's my showing my insecurity... Do I want to publish this under my own name? I've thought about writing under the pen name Vivienne Cross - a mysterious author who writes literary erotica and never gives interviews. Or...I could just slap my own name on it and call it what it is. Thoughts?

@Shawn Helgerson I completely get where you're coming from. I am a Christian and my book falls under erotica. I will say when I started write my book I wasn't going to church regularly, I've as of late have started taking my faith more seriously. Now with that said I've been wondering if I should change the sex scenes (less graphic description). But to answer your question I plan to use my name just not the names everyone know me by, like my middle name and my married last name. It gives me a pen name but doesn't take away from me.
Story Chain TOGETHER! ⛓️‍💥
It seems that we haven't played a story game for a while. I like doing these to see what we can create together, and to help people understand importance of NOT having it perfect at the beginning. Other times that we've done this, people switched from perspectives and there were grammar issues. So, let's play and understand the first draft is meant to be messy! Topic: Nature I'm going to write a sentence, and I want you to build off of it by writing 1-2 sentences. Copy and paste the sentences prior to yours so that they are in the same comment! Here's the sentence: The trees swayed in the distance, which echoed a rustling sound in the air. Add this sentence to your comment! Now, if you've been struggling on creating your book at any stage, it's time to decide to get that extra help. My team and I are here to help guide you every step of the way. From idea, all the way to publishing the book! 📕 Now is the time! ⏰ Reach out to me and let's talk!

The trees swayed in the distance, which echoed a rustling sound in the air. There was a chill in the air as the moon shone on the rippling lake. Little Emily, practicing her spells, hair flowing to the cadence of the wind, took a deep, centering breath. She whispered, " Rana haec in papilionem mutetur " with a small flourish of her wand. Out of the water came this beautiful, colorful butterfly, glistening from the droplets of water falling of her wings. "Magical" Little Emily took a deep breath and smiled, her eyes beaming with pride. Yes!! I do have the gift. I have to remember what mother said, with the gift comes great responsibility. She repeated the spell again, just as she was nearing the finish, she heard a branch snap behind her. Startled she turned around just as the last word fell from her lips. Wand pointed in the direction of the noise. In the brief moment before the person who had been coming towards her became a butterfly, she glisped it was her best friend Jacob. "Oh no" she gasped....

Jacob fluttered around Emily swirling all over the sky since he was unaccustomed to flying. Emily's heart began to quicken and she was able to catch Jacob within her hands and she scurried back to her wooden cabin. She knew her mother was still asleep, but crept quietly to her room anyhow. From under her bed, she pulled a sort, wide cage full of butterflies. This wasn't her first miss direction but this was a very important one, it was the first time it was a person and more importantly, because it wasn't just any person but her best friend. "Didn't worry Jacob, I will figure this out and get you back to normal before it's to late" she whispered as she watched the cage of butterflies.

@Dani Rosenblad James Hello, I'm still not sure how I want it to end, with that being said I'm pretty much done except for that. I've been busy with some other projects and once I've got those done I will focus on the ending and my plan of execution.
Story Chain ⛓️‍💥
We haven’t done one of these in a while and I would love to see what we come up with! So, this game is all about building a story with others. ⭐️ Instructions: Copy and paste the sentences before your sentence and put them in your comment. That way the reader can keep reading the story. Add paragraph break if you feel it’s needed. Be sure to add one sentence everytime you play! It’s nice to get it completely mixed by how people write!✍️ Genre: Fantasy/Spiritual Tone: Dark/Light Copy and paste prior sentences and then add yours below! 👇

When I walked into the castle on a cloud, a shudder ran down my spine as I felt a chill creep over my body. Fairy lights shone brightly through the cold marble entrance hall - but cast no shadow. I felt a presence, someone unseen was watching me. Show yourself I demanded.
