    Yeah, but they're bound to find out you're quite deranged at some point.

    Something with Fox in it. Not certain on the last name at this point. The reason for it is that one of my major characters is named Fox, and I'm writing it as though the characters are the writers. Like they're recounting their tale to the public.

    Oh thank you.
    I like that my new name is going to Alex Moon.
    Sorry if I'm taking it, but I like it.
    To put something like that and confuse the readers its fun.
    I just love those debates.

    "Alex Moon is a man,"
    "No its a woman,"
    lol!
    Start fighting and obey me.

    I generally think you have to be deranged to write for children...

    Oh those sound nice as well.
    You make the decision so hard.
    Or how about I use one of them as more of a nickname.
    Alex Harvest Moon.
    Huh!
    No that sounds weird.

    Not a pen name as such but I use Heather Louise for all of my writing. If I were to get published or something *fingers crossed* I'd use that aswell, rather than my last name. I would be way to proud to use a name that isn't mine though if I did get published :p

    p.s. I think -Alex moon- sounds way better than -Alex harvest moon-

    I dunno I think alex moon sounds complete enough to me.

    I really do hope that day come too. I could die happy after that, although I would have less to complain about. :p

    I actually find nothing at all odd about a man using the name "Madam Moon"...

    For myself...I like the name "Eli" but have no surname to go with that. Meh, I've got time to think about it.

    I see now.
    But now I have an even better name.
    Its Alex Moon.
    I like Madam Moon still though.
    Maybe I use that name when I writing my lighter stuff.
    Two names for different genres. But then again people may think its a different author and people might get upset if they found it was the same person.

    I haven't really thought about a pen name for myself. I constantly change my mind when it comes to writing, so I wouldn't be able to stick with one idea for long anyways... I suppose I'd just stick with my regular name (although I really don't like my first name).

    of course you do, it's an awesome name :p




    I actually mean to write a trashy novel for mills and boon (try it! it's a laugh :p) and i wouldn't want my real name on that, so i came up with the great name of:

    Penelope Thundercloud :)
