That's why I use a pen name (several, in fact). Since you obviously aren't sharing your real name on the internet, putting any work up would probably be perfectly safe. If anyone tried to steal your work that would be plagiarism, which is illegal.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339091544962023545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355930235513008581.post-42878648795567833172013-09-12T15:06:49.865-07:002013-09-12T15:06:49.865-07:00Well, that's very true.

I guess I've always been somewhat guarded about showing my stuff on the internet.<br /><br />The rest of your stories sound so very interesting, the titles there really spark the fascination. Have you finished any of them, other than Alicia?Magdalenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604771172862258621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355930235513008581.post-14856727022212085372013-09-12T12:38:55.993-07:002013-09-12T12:38:55.993-07:00Just so you know, we all write strange stuff. You...Just so you know, we all write strange stuff. You should give people a chance to critique your work before you pass judgement on it yourself. I promise you, some people love what I hate most about my writing and some people hate what I love most about it.<br /><br />As for a sequel, I do not intend to write a sequel to Alicia. The book is meant to stand on its own. However, Alicia's world is vast, and I have many other stories set in Rindavae, including The Daulots, Lonish the Swordmaster, Marie the Clever, Jamolon the Conqueror, the Books of Loren D'Nore, and the Rivenblade Records, to name a few. Alicia the character is only in one book, though.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339091544962023545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355930235513008581.post-39078452695035468612013-09-12T08:13:13.693-07:002013-09-12T08:13:13.693-07:00No, not yet, at any rate.

It can be very strange stuff a lot of the time. x)<br /><br />Anyway, are you going to write a sequel ever for Alicia? I know I'd have a difficult time wrapping up and saying goodbye to my characters.Magdalenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604771172862258621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355930235513008581.post-89736733807968665282013-09-11T19:23:00.350-07:002013-09-11T19:23:00.350-07:00Thank you for your complement, but I am not so tal...Thank you for your complement, but I am not so talented as you might think. Good writing comes chiefly through hard work. Anyone willing to spend a lot of time on it can write well!<br /><br />By the way, do you have a blog?Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339091544962023545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355930235513008581.post-73908645290919769562013-09-11T19:00:13.708-07:002013-09-11T19:00:13.708-07:00Oh, haha, okay!

May I ask, how much time progresses throughout the story? Because it seems that the main character adopts a baby early on and by the time the book ends he's eleven or twelve. Just curious ;)Magdalenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604771172862258621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355930235513008581.post-88944014167617181012013-07-23T10:01:35.395-07:002013-07-23T10:01:35.395-07:00Right.
