Gateway to Teihzbael

    My name is Daryl Campbell and this is the gateway to who I am on WDC, Teihzbael. I'm not afraid to use my personal name on this site. I take credit for what I write anyway with "By Daryl Campbell" under the title of anything I've posted. Well, that's enough about me, lets get right to talking about me.

    Teihzbael is a fictional world I created fourteen years ago when I first told my children a story called "Princess Haleigh and the Golden Lions". I made the story up for my four year old daughter, Haleigh, who I call Elizabeth due to the fact I dislike the name Haleigh. Elizabeth is her middle name and was my choice for her. I told the story one night to her and my son and needed a place for the little girl's tower to be put. I used her true name, Elizabeth, and mixed it to spell out Teihzbael. It sounded nice and I kept it. The story still exists, though in a varied form. The two lions couldn't both be gold as one is the moon and one is the sun. With only one gold lion, the story has now become "Princess Haleigh and the Lions". And thus, Teihzbael exists for me.

    I chose the name on this site due to its importance to me as my created, mythical world, not one child in preference to any other. The world exists in several of my literary stories for children, stories that involve all of my beautiful children. Teihzbael is the perfect place for dragons, wizards, magic, unicorns, Brianna-the Butterfly Witch, Samantha-Queen Named of the Forest Fairies, and Lucas-the Hound Prince. It is a world in which I can play in and where I can make everything bend to my design.

    All the names used in my children's stories, both literature and picture books, are actual children in the real world. I am taking classes to help with my literature and do intend to one day be published. WDC has allowed me to put myself out there and see what other aspiring writers think of my work. I have only been paid for two stories I've written, "Bailey of the Wild" and "Bailey the Butterfly". They were written for a little girl's birthday and paid for by her parents. This is my most successful achievement to date. Well, the most successful in writing terms.

    That is who I am and this is the gateway to me, Teihzbael.

PS  I'm sure I'll get reviews to fix this or include that and this will continue to improve during my time on WDC. I personally like a review that is rough as it makes me want more and become better. I do want others to know that I value any possible suggestions they may make. I will fix grammar, I will adjust sentence structure, I will play with all ideas given to me, but I cannot, and will not, discard my kids for better names and new personalities. (I may think on the new personality thing since the older three are teens, but my ex-wife and I would have to reach an agreement to have something like that attempted and we do not agree on much)
