Amd from my own personal experiences, some endings just drag on and on and on and aren't so black and white as far as endings go.

Thanks for this! Now I have a logical argument against the irrational fears I have about this. He's even said himself that I'm his female best friend (to acknowledge the fact that he does have a male best friend as well who apparently is very similar to me). So yeah, it doesn't make sense to suddenly throw all of that away without trying to compromise if there's a problem. And I've shown willingness to compromise and change in the past if there's an issue so that has to bode well I would think.

I have thought seriously about the main character in a series I am writing opening up a Facebook account; to date I am still weighing pros and cons.
I read up thread that you are a musician. Is there a way that you could choose a name that somehow separates your personal and professional life but allows for some, limited crossover? Something along the lines of a Brenda Webb (real name) opening up a page for Crystal Gayle (stage name). Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson has a Facebook page (I'm assuming) under her stage name Katy Perry.
The main character of my series is the author of the stories; a pseudonym. I'm fairly confident that if I 'let folks in on the secret' as it were...that I'm trying to create the illusion that 'Josh' is a real person, they wouldn't 'out' me on Facebook but keep things in character for me. By doing so, they would have to police themselves somewhat by not making things too personal and would, I think, be more understanding if 'Josh' didn't 'like' or 'tag' or whatever the lingo is - believing that 'I' would.
I've taken my sleep meds so I don't know how coherent this has been - but good luck.  |
I've thought of the stage name/pen name but I already have a lot published out there with my name and people know me to find me to commission me by that name. At the moment, I'm mostly a composer and graduate student. I haven't had a full time performing position in years outside of academic ensembles and those don't really count. What my name is on various documents and on published works is going to become an issue if I get married too so maybe I'll just keep my maiden name as a pen name? And if I have a full time performing gig again, I could get a stage name as well.
