Hi I was introduced to hive wallets and keychain and the #ecency app by a tutor I work with at an art school. My pen name is a combination of my google account name along with my @publishOx pen name. The names are short and anagrams of my real name with letters swapped in place. My real name is not unique, and I have searched many times for dual namesakes and found plenty. I hope to accrue some points and tip and be tipped as I go. It's fascinating to see how much variety of material is produced by all the bloggers and it's nice to match the level of quality of their work with mine.
I feel that I should apologize for and explain why my first few posts contained no explanatory texts with them, it was lacking of me and those particular paintings do require an explanation. I was using #ecency for the first time and I did not realise how comprehensive the writing system on it is. I will revisit one of the images and include some text. Indeed all of the pictures of the painting 'Illness and its Cures' would have done better if they had all been included in one post. Sorry about that, but now I know for next time I get busy.
On @publishOx I have posted in fifteen sections an entire novel, in my blog which is called 'One step forward Two steps back'. The novel has the title 'By the Skin of my Teeth', which is a quote taken from a book in the Old Testament in the Bible, and it summed up the feeling I had at the time of the writing of it that I am lucky to be alive, and that I have come through some risky situations before. My blogger's name on @publishOx is #DoveGrey. This is not the same name as the mathematician blogger, who uses another spelling of a name which sounds the same when said. Pen names are often used up and it can be hard to find a truly unique one.
About me, I am a fifty year old man who has lived most of my life in the country I was born in, and who has survived while my own two elder brothers didn't. I have not been married, and three close relationships over the years have come and gone. At the time of writing this my parents are still with me, as is my sister. I qualified after school in fine arts, drama and design, among gaining many other certificates like outdoors pursuits/ adventure, medicine, journalism, financial competency. I am the only person I know who has lost his house to an electrical fault who then went on to rebuild it and earn a nice living from the next residents there.
