3 Things not left unsaid:
In one of your posts you said you explained to a friend what the name Ophelia Satis means ... so care to share with the rest of us?
Of course! "Ophelia" comes from _Hamlet_ and "Satis" is the name of the house in Dickens' _Great Expectations_. Satis is Latin for "enough." There are so many little literary and personal connotations to my choice for a pen name. ( :
Yes, I figured out that much (I looked up Satis in wikipedia). But WHY is that your pen name? You can share with me while we get pedicures or sip tea when you get here!
