    The Man in Mauve has arrived

    I’m glad that you brought that book to my attention. It looks like a good read. I wish I could say that my username was some allusion to it, but I actually ended up with it over a whim. It’s spawned into a bit of entertainment for me as I’ve watched people struggle to pronounce mauve, properly...

    Hey everybody

    Hm, that would create an interesting challenge. Probably because I tend to build characters before worlds, but it does pose a few good questions in my mind as to how a world and story like that could be built.

    Hey everybody

    I definitely agree with CupofJoe. I’ve struggled with finding a map for one of my stories, and had difficulties with another story’s map. Until I let it go and allowed myself to have some fun with the setting rather than what ‘the map’ was supposed to look like. Then I ended up with amazing...

    The Man in Mauve has arrived

    Oh, most recent? Most recent that I’ve watched and would want to suggest would be: A Letter to Momo. It’s a story of a girl mourning the lose of her father, and her attempts to find meaning in a letter that he never finished. The letter simply read, “Dear Momo.” It illustrates the depth of...

    The Man in Mauve has arrived

    My username is ManInMauve, as in a man in mauve. I've been dubbed as Manny, and Muuv. So, Manny or Muuv are acceptable (and loved) nicknames. You can also call me, Niall. (Yes, like the singer.) I'm an old fart. A crotchety old fart, but I still love to have fun even when I'm grumpy. (Sort of...
