Who knows if we'll actually use it if & when we finish the book, but it was fun trying to create a new name. :)Denise Dilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298856577488462247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157857224102527644.post-90503160833765032242012-07-01T23:47:48.963-04:002012-07-01T23:47:48.963-04:00Good points, I use several pseudonyms for my diffe...Good points, I use several pseudonyms for my different writing jobs. There's the hilarious one I used when I wrote for Demand Studios (along with a whacked out bio), then there's the completely forgettable one I use for some online revenue sharing sites like Hubpages. And I use yet another for Kindle books. I chose my names off the top of my head without a lot of thought, but there areRachel Writesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157857224102527644.post-44395407988302264012012-07-01T15:37:53.743-04:002012-07-01T15:37:53.743-04:00Genie is my nickname so I use it for publishing on...Genie is my nickname so I use it for publishing online.

So family and friends still call me Terry and I've been through a couple of last name changes. Like you, I've toyed with pseudonyms Pen names are fun, even if I never use any of them.

I like your ideas for using street names. I lived in Lamar street when I was young. That would be a good last name, or if I decided to use a male pseudonym, a good first name. D.
