Ray, that's so terrible but I'm so glad to hear you're out of the woods now. Allow me to add my voice to the chorus of wellwishers. Also, hope you'll find a way to use this struggle to fule your writing in the future.

Thanks for the responses! Catherine Wolfe is not my real name, I made it up as the site required a pen name in order to sign up. My real name is, however, the one I've always used when submitting my writing for publication and I have had a few pieces published under it. It seems like if part of the point of being here is to develop an audience - as there's a possibility of exposing the work you put up to the whole internet - I should be using my writing (real) name? But I guess there's no point in worrying about it until I get to that stage... I'll leave it for now, as that seems to be the consensus. Maybe I'll change my pseudonym to something weird that is obviously fake. Anyway, it's a fun discussion.

I signed up a few days ago, just posted my first story and am planning to review others' works ASAP. I'm enjoying the trial membership so far, but feel a little weird using a pseudonym. Is there a particular reason anonymity is encouraged? Just something I was wondering. Anyway, I'm looking forward to engaging with any and all whose paths I happen to cross here. I find the prospect of giving and receiving feedback to be a very powerful motivator where writing is concerned. Cheers!
