Third-Person "Self" writing
Ivi laughs. "Out all the posts in the topic in the Writers Who Are Children group, I'm the only who doesn't break character," she says proudly.
Rosalie tilts her head quizzically to her right. "What do you mean, break character? Like, go against their character's personalities?"
Rosalie shook her head. "Naw. You'll have to invite me. What do you mean by breaking character?"
Maggie answers, "Not talking in third person. Yes, I have seen AVPS, and have you ever tried doing this all during English class? It drives teachers nuts."
Maggie smiles, too. "Wow, I wish I had a pretty name. I hate Margaret nicknames like Peggy Sue and Margy, so I stick with Maggie."
Maggie adds, "Although, my friend Amanda says I should be called 'Pegasus," maybe she'll call me that!"
"I think Margaret is a beautiful name," Rosalie demures, glancing at her ungrowing finger nails sadly.
Ivi looks down at her fingernails. She wished that they wouldn't grow since she has to cut them every other day for piano...
Rosalie sighs. "'Scuse me for reading your thoughts. I play the piano too, but I decided to grow them out, regardless of what they would do to a) my piano and b) my fingernails. Because it looks pretty. But they're not growing fast enough." Rosalie pouts and reaches for her nail file.
Ivi smiles. "It doesn't matter if we read one another's thoughts... My teacher would get mad if my fingernails are too long.."
Rosalie smiles sympathetically. "I'm taking some time off from piano this summer. It wouldn't do to go to piano early Saturday morning with a raging hangover." She winks at Ivi and puts down her nail file.
Ivi gapes at Rosalie, then shrugs. "I have to... My school isn't exactly light with conservatory..."
Rosalie raises and lowers her eyebrows. "I go to a private tutor. So I guess I don't really have that problem," she says.

"I do too," Ivi says, "but I also have my stuff at my school... have you seen the video?"
"I do too," Ivi says, "but I also have my stuff at my school... have you seen the video?"
Vanster shrugs. "I like her screename. And it's not too hard to understand...."
Whimsicality smiles. "Sorry if I confused you guys. I didn't know whether to use my screen name or my real one."
Vanster blinks. "Wow, that's your real name? It's so beautiful....my real name is pretty obvious to my screen name."
"My real name is Vanessa," Vanster begins to explain. "My older brother calls me Vanster and it seemed like a good screenname."
Vanster shrugs. "I don't know. It seems pretty plain to me."
"Are you kidding?! It's, like, a hot name," Rosalie explains. "That's how I've always thought of it."
Vanster nods awkwardly. "Well, it's fine for me."
Vanster shakes her head. "No, no. I've been awkward-er in some conversations."
Rosalie nods. "I know how you feel. This one time I was with my friends on the subway, talking about how much we hated Degrassi TNG, and this frizzy-haired girl turns around and says ina really snobby voice, "Well, it pays well." We'd insulted one of the actors! And this girl that goes to my school, Annie Clark, is one of the actors, too. D: Embarassing."
Vanster's eyes widen. "Holeee....that's crazy."
Rosalie shrugs. "Yep. My school is quite literally the King of Preps. Complete with the crown and scepter."
Vanster nods. "Wow. My school has like halls of different people. We have the Spanish Hall. The Smart kids Hall. Eight grade Hall. Stuff like that."
