Everyone has a family story to tell. Or ideas to share. Families are a path, an institution and a destination. Share your insights here.
Sometimes the most important things can be the hardest to say. Using a pen name gives you the freedom to share your feelings without the strings. To get things out. Plus, exuberance can be catching! Your catharsis awaits.
Family, friends, food, festivities and just plain fun. You're doing it. Let's hear about it! Everyone needs a pen name shaped just right to talk about our particular box of chocolates.
A pen name is the perfect way to let others walk a mile in your shoes. Open up while remaining mysterious. Start the conversation you always wanted to have. Enjoy the freedom to be yourself and let the world know what makes you tick.
You're here. My Say is the perfect spot to post your first WriterShelf article. Tell the world what's on your mind. Try on one of your new pen names and see how it fits. Run some circles round your moon (or sun) and share what you discover.
