Under my pen name of Morganna Roberts, I just recently submitted two new chapters of different stories. The first one was a long neglected one called "My Job Interview at the Foreign Office" and the other was called "Domestic Partners for Professional Women". Neither of the stories had any relationship to the other and were about two very different female characters with different agendas. As a male writing under some 16 different pen-names, half female and half male, I usually sort my thoughts out jumping into the persona of the pen-name first and then from there to the characters in a way that I find comfortable depending on if I am writing in the first person or the third person in the writing style assumed. Morganna is an open-minded female with her love of writing in both contemporary and historical styles. Both of these stories are basically contemporary in format and the women leads do have some similiar characteristics. As I generally do, I slip back and forth in the stories until the chapter is complete and that generally works well unless I am tired and make a major mistake like in switching persons or using the wrong character name like if they were Alice and Ann or Billy and Bobby. Sometimes when I am working across a matrix of storyline thoughts I might be writing several stories at the exact same time. It is easier to sort out in my mind when the stories are by different pen name authors and my writing persona is clearly separate from the other story. In this case, the two stories were somewhat similar in that the main female characters were dominant and they used similar Bi-sexual natures to tell their stories. I caught myself confusing the scenarios and confusing the supporting characters as their roles developed. I had to go back and re-write several times and it was very time consuming. It taught me a lesson to be careful about writing about similar characters under the same pen name personna because it is too difficult to keep sorted in the process. This is probably because I seldom "plot" or "plan" my stories because it tends to slow the flow of words and makes them too boring for words.
