This Week's Topic

If you couldn't use your own name, what would your pseudonym or penname be?

 

 

This is SO easy for me. In my neighborhood with the other kids, we constantly played those "name" games. You know the ones. What would your porn name be? or whatever. Some take your childhood pet's name and your mom's maiden name or such and such. We loved making up our own silly ones. The one that always stuck with me through the years has been this one: take your middle name and the street you grew up on.

That makes my pseudonym: Nicole Creed.

Ahh! I love it! I always said that would be my pen name if I ever became a famous novelist. Ha. I still might consider this, who would have foresaw this social media business though?

Hey and you never know when you may need a fake name...for you, anything. Just sayin'.

 Top Ten Five Authors I Wish Would Write Another Book

1.  Stephen Chbosky - He wrote The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It shook my 14 year old self to the core. It was life changing. I can't even put into words how this book makes me feel, it makes me feel EVERYTHING. I would read anything, any other book he wrote.
2. Emily Bronte - Only wrote the epic genius that is Wuthering Heights. I have no doubt that if she hadn't died so young any other book would have shown incredible depths of characters and human nature.
3. Suzanne Collins- Come on woman! I KNOW you have it in you! Dazzle and amaze us one more time!
4. Laura Whitcomb - I read both her books. One was so beautiful and amazing, and the other I didn't care for at all. But that's alright. I love A Certain Slant of Light so infinitely that I would read another by her in a heart beat.
5. J. K. Rowling - I would be there release day for whatever she chose to write next with bells on!

I could only think if five!
